F1 2013 to skip Wii U & PlayStation Vita

F1 2013 will not release on Wii U, creative director Steve Hood has suggested, claiming that the game would "have to be a very different game just to run on" Nintendo's console.

And if you were thinking of picking it up on PlayStation Vita to take away on your holidays, well you're out of luck there, too.

Bet they'd just love to say it doesn't have enough of an install base.

Qrphe3929d ago

They just can't afford ports for those systems. It's business.

_QQ_3929d ago

Well that is the reason why....

G20WLY3929d ago (Edited 3929d ago )

Good point tubers. 3DS has a huge install base, so it's bound to be on that!

No??! ...then why isn't that mentioned here? :/

tubers3928d ago

The platform's too busy with their Mario Karts.

i think the Vita will be ok when PD announces GT6 for the Vita.. Yea i said it! its coming ...

deafdani3929d ago

A Gran Turismo game for Vita? Definitely, it's coming.

But not Gran Turismo 6, I don't think so.

tubers3929d ago

It'd be nice if it's some sort of GT 6 "Companion".

The VITA "game" would basically be a limited GT 6 where you can carry Select Tracks and Cars for the on the gaming. You can play all tracks and use all the cars but you are only limited by a few at a time unless you have a larger MMC.

You can then transfer progress to your PS3/4 afterwards.

An exclusive standalone GT game sounds good though but I think the "GT 6 Limited" is a good alternative.

They can probably release both.

The_Truth_24_73929d ago

@tubers

That would be awesome. Race, earn money, get cars, upgrade from from a companion app or mini game on the Vita.

blackmanone3929d ago

Too bad they missed out on the marketing bonanza that would've been GT.V for the vita. Too late, now best we'll probably get is a water down GT.Portable

PunisherRevenge3929d ago

Sorry too say but GT will not be a system seller for the PS Vita. Just like the new Kill Zone wont be enough. I don't know what it is about the Vita because its a great peace of hardware, but for some reason people are just not feeling it.

tubers3929d ago

Uncanny Valley Console:

1. Too close to home console the way it's advertised. Some software are then viewed as castrated experiences even if they're the best in terms of being a mobile game.

2. "It's more expensive than a PS3" Mentality. $ 250 w/ 4GB at best with the current MSRP.

3. B-class port machine. Where's FFXIII, Mass Effect, Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Dragon Age, Dead Space, Far Cry 3 ports?

4. They enjoy Nintendo games more for portable games.

5. They're already satisfied with a portable smart device for entertainment.

6. They'd rather spend $40/50 on a console game that has the "full" experience.

r213929d ago

We'll see. KZ Mercernary isnt out yet. Hopefully, with enough marketing and promotion, it will sell well.

PunisherRevenge3929d ago

@R21....Hopefully Sony can come up with something that could make a huge spark and get the Vita rolling. I'd hate to see a peace of tech like that go to waste. Like you said we'll see.

r213929d ago

Indeed, it is a great piece of tech and currently has some great software to it. Theres a supposed rumor of price drop comes Gamescom. Im also quite hoping for more vita exclusives but best keep expectations low.

stragomccloud3929d ago

They're just too lazy to program for a non x86 based unit.

The dangers of an all digital future. I will never get people who are rallying for that.

Vegamyster2661d ago

If you own the game you can still download and install it, you just can't buy it due to expired licensing.

lnfiniteLoop2661d ago (Edited 2661d ago )

only while it is still on the servers to download from... eventually it will be deleted from those as well...

Vegamyster2661d ago (Edited 2660d ago )

lnfiniteLoop

If it's through Steam then that's not something i'd wouldn't worry about, they're not going to be shutting down their servers anytime soon.

I want to be able to play those games when I die, But that will only be possible in disc format. I doubt i'll have wifi.

Make Room for Three Great Games in May - Games with Gold

Xbox Wire:
It’s not quite time for summer vacation, but May is a time for sunny days, warm weather, and plenty of great gaming courtesy of Games with Gold. In May, Games with Gold is adding CastleStorm: Definitive Edition, an awesome tower-defense brawler mashup title, for free, as well as extending Pool Nation in Games with Gold for another month on Xbox One. On the Xbox 360 front, two great games are coming free in May: Mafia II, a third-person action game that immerses players in the dark and unforgiving world of the Mafia in the 1940’s and 50’s, and F1 2013, a realistic, open-wheel racing sim. As usual, all games are available only for a limited time*, as part of the ongoing Games with Gold program.

Wow, looks like both the PS+ free games and Games With Gold are striking out in May!!

AngelicIceDiamond3276d ago

Considering Witcher 3 releases next month. Can't have anything to crazy for May.

KiwiViper853276d ago

I think everyone is looking forward to Witcher 3... It's gonna sell so well.

CDPR deserves the riches

XanderZane3275d ago

Yup.. I'm not mad at Microsoft or Sony for these weak offerings, because I still have a lot of the other free games they've given me over the past 4 months to play. Like you said, The Witcher 3 is coming in May, so I definitely won't have time to play any of these freebies next month.

lelo2play3276d ago (Edited 3276d ago )

Yep, both PS+ and Games with Gold are subpar.

Sony doesn't need to improve PS+ subpar offerings, since the PS4 is selling quite well... but Microsoft could really sell a few more X1's if their Gold offerings were better. It's Microsoft that needs to improve, not Sony.
Like it or not, the company that "offers" better games with their paid online service, could sway a few gamers in purchasing their console instead of the competition. It happened last gen with PS+ "offerings" for the PS3.

Microsoft doesn't learn... they simply don't know how to compete.
Supposing the other way around, if the X1 had better sales then the PS4, you could bet your a** that Sony would be offering AAA PS4 games with PS+ to improve sales.

Dirtnapstor3276d ago

PS+ offerings subpar? Whatever....
Not sure about the all the PS offerings, but I know Guacamelee and The Unfinished Swan are great games.
To say Sony is not putting in any effort because the PS4 is selling so well is ignorant.
I'm in Playstation's corner, but getting AC Blag Flag for free was pretty sweet!

DanZeeMan3276d ago

My spider senses are telling me you possibly own a PS4

OC_MurphysLaw3276d ago

Happy to see CastleStorm on the list. Its a game I was interested in but was probably not willing to buy.

ThinkThink3276d ago

CastleStorm was great. Looking forward to playing it again with the DLC on the X1.

MTROB3276d ago

I thought it was going to be DR3 for XB1, nevermind!

xDHAV0K24x3276d ago

DR3 was good. sure u can get it for cheap nowadays

WCxAlchemist3276d ago

MS we gotta do better than that!

how bout Lords of the fallen to usher in ur new partnership with deck 13

ERFO3276d ago

At the very least, put it on sale.

3276d ago
gangsta_red3276d ago

Yea, very lackluster next month. There are way better titles out there old or not that could be offered to Xbox users.

xDHAV0K24x3276d ago

Neverwinter and Happy Wars is also free to play

The F1 Series Needs A Pit Stop

Steve from Gamespresso argues that it's time for Codemasters to stop releasing new F1 games annually, stating that they should either add new liveries and licences to existing games as DLC, or not release a game at all.

F1 2015 is going to be released Q1 2015. It is going to be "true" next gen game codies say. Over 2 years they have worked on that game. If it fails ..

Akuma2K3489d ago

The author of the article seems mad for whatever reasons that don't make any sense, the F1 racing series is a very popular which has had great success is sales from 2010 to now.

Can't wait to play F1 2015 in march/april if not mistaken (game is suppose to come out a month or so early before the F1 season starts).

mattritchiegspresso3488d ago

It certainly has had great success, and that's not surprising, but that doesn't mean that we should agree with essentially the same cash-grab being shipped out year after year, regardless of how good it is.

memots3488d ago

Got 2010, 2012 , 2013 , skipping 2014 just nothing new in there, 2015 is the true next gen
