Work on Driveclub Developers’ New Multiplatform Game Will Start at The End of The Month

If you’re eager to hear what the team that created Driveclub is working on, after moving under Codemasters’ umbrella following Evolution Studios’ closure by Sony Interactive Entertainment, you’re going to have to wait a while, as mentioned on Twitter by Paul Rustchynsky.

Would be cool to see a spiritual successor to Motorstorm. Codemasters makes enough realistic racing games like Dirt, Grid and F1. Arcade game would give the publisher some diversity in the racing genre.

Aeery3345d ago

I'm very happy they are already at work.
Their games are absolutely amazing.

Good luck!

DARKKENT3345d ago (Edited 3345d ago )

The most stupidest move from sony

Always one step forward two steps back with sony

Zipper and evolution these decisions baffle my head

If sony doesn't own the motor storm ip evolution should make a multiplatform motor storm or if they do make an extremely similar game just to piss of sony

Any sony fanboy who agrees with sony letting evolution go needs their head checked

Knushwood Butt3345d ago (Edited 3345d ago )

@ darkkent

At face value, I agree, but

We don't know what Evolution had pitched for the future, and we know a new Gran Turismo is in the works, so maybe there was a clash. Sony don't need two first party studios tied up doing similar projects.

DARKKENT3345d ago

@knushwood

Evolution are primarily arcade specialists

Grain turismo is and will always be realistic

So both development parties bring something different to the table

freshslicepizza3345d ago

these people are still employed and best of all more people will have easier access to play their games. that is what gamers should care most of, the health of the industry. not having a company buy ip's that sit and do nothing and keep games hostage by forcing people to buy specific hardware.

As a ps3 owner last gen but now on xb1, I'd really like a motostorm style game too, it was a lot of fun, I think lots of xb1 owners would be happy with that.

MagicBeanz3345d ago

Sounds like you made a bad choice this gen.

holysmokesbatman3344d ago

@MagicBeanz THANKS FOR YOUR CONCERN DUDE BUT i'M QUITE HAPPY.

TwoForce3345d ago (Edited 3345d ago )

@DARKKENT I agree on that one. But it kinda weird is that Evo didn't feel piss off sbout it. They just seem happy about it, don't you think ?

DARKKENT3345d ago (Edited 3345d ago )

How do you know they aren't pissed off?

Them starting work on a new game soo soon shows me that they are biting at the bit to show sony what a mistake they have made and that just throwing them away like discarded rubbish will only push evolution studios to not only keep going but to put the best content out.

I've never seen a developer continue to improve a game soo long after release like they have done with driveclub.

Sony are a bunch of idiots

TwoForce3345d ago

@DARKKENT Of course, we pissed about it. But here the thing, Evo knew this was coming.

LordMaim3345d ago

@Darkkent: What do you mean by "so soon"? What else would they be doing as a developer other than working on a game?

Gol3m3345d ago

@darkkent it's not going to matter as anything they make will perform better on Sonys console in a multiplatform situation. Sorry truth hurts

I'm happy the team is wasting no time/getting back to doing what they enjoy which is creating racers.

TwoForce3345d ago

It's good to hear is that EVO still keep making racing game. DriveClub is still my favorite game, In my heart, Evo is still with us, my friend.

Gazondaily3345d ago

That was quick. Hopefully they take their time with the next racer.

Which one of Codemasters IPs do you see them working on?

Liqu1d3345d ago

GRID. It seems like the best fit for them.

EA SPORTS™ WRC - Development Update

An update on EA SPORTS™ WRC.

Dear Rally Community,

Every great journey eventually finds its finish line, and today, we announce that we've reached the end of the road working on WRC.

Knushwood Butt45d ago

'It marked the first time the studio had used the license in 18 years since 2022’s Colin McRae Rally 3.'

Can you not get AI to do proofreading?

TheColbertinator45d ago

Weird article written by a bot.

In any case I knew EA would ruin Codemasters.

badboyz0945d ago (Edited 45d ago )

Codemasters will likely close soon😞

Here’s the deal with this bullsh*t, and this is the single reason I f*cking hate digital, this wouldn’t be so much an issue if these people would give an announcement before they pull their games so people have a chance to get them before they’re gone. I mean, how hard is that to do?

Like, I prefer digital for the convenience of it and making me less of a hoarder, but stuff like this can drive me up the wall and I’m aware this also happens with physical games, but you can still acquire a game from eBay, though all scalped to hell, whereas digital you’re SOL… unless you have a PC.

spicelicka89d ago

Not to mention they also replace old base games with "bundles" back at full price. Some of the old and shittiest COD games are still full price on digital stores.

phatak89d ago (Edited 89d ago )

yup everything you said is correct, but with digital you can also acquire it lol thanks to piracy, thats what made me a pirate . Spec ops the line got delisted last year and I just pirated it and never looked back, unfortunately these bigger publishers dont care about older games so dont even give a reminder, so if they dont even care about their own older games, why should I help them with their new games, ill pirate those as well. GOG is the best, you dont even need to pirate those, the games literally dont have any drm, and you can keep the files permanently too.

Michiel198989d ago

the reason why i hate digital is because in 20 years when the servers go down, you can't play single player games anymore because shitty fucking companies want you to login to some arbitrary service to pad the numbers.

When a company like GoG does better than a titan like Sony, you know how terrible the state of gaming is.

Vits88d ago

Technically you are not wrong, only forgot to add Rights Management after the "digital".

CantThinkOfAUsername89d ago

These games had exactly 0 players. If you haven't played any of them by now you really didn't care in the slightest. Suddenly you're dying to play one of these classic turds? Sail to cs.rin.ru.

MrWood88d ago

Your right, if you click on the article vs the clickbait picture showing new and modern games, they are all old games I’ve never even heard of.

Zeke6888d ago

If you never heard of any of these games, are you even a gamer? ;)

Report: F1 24 Cover Datamined From F1 23 Files as Website Surfaces

The F1 24 announcement seems imminent, as the Champions Edition cover and details have surfaced in F1 23's game files after the latest patch.

Yi-Long473d ago

To Sony, and so many other companies in this industry, the short-term satisfaction and happiness of their shareholders means so much more to them than their employees, their products, and their customers.

Yi-Long473d ago

Apologies, don't know how the above comment ended up here while it clearly should have gone to other article about the Sony lay-offs. Please delete.
