Codemasters Unveils Big Three
Next-gen racing, open warfare and a battle of the Gods coming next year.

UK, April 19, 2007 - Codemasters has announced it has a triple-whammy of new titles in the pipeline for 2008, including a sequel to Operation Flashpoint, an all-new game called Rise of the Argonauts and the latest instalment in the TOCA series. The latter, provisionally titled Race Drive One, will be based on an updated version of the Neon engine that's already causing a stir in Colin McRae DiRT and will take in locations from all across Europe, Japan and the US. In addition to the touring car races made famous in previous games, Race Driver One will also feature new events like street races and urban street competitions, although a Codemasters spokesman was quite adamant it won't follow the same path as Need for Speed Underground.

Operation Flashpoint 2 will also utilise the Neon engine and is being developed in-house rather than by Bohemia Interactive, the team behind the original. Although few details are known about the game as yet, it's already been in development for two years and Codemasters promises it will offer "a new contemporary theatre of war" and "will deliver warfare more realistic and intense than ever before". The multiplayer game is set to be more extensive too, although precise details about what features the game will include won't be announced until the summer.

Last up is Rise of the Argonauts, an epic-scale action RPG game set in Ancient Greece. Developed by Liquid Entertainment, players lead a team of fearsome warriors, including Hercules, Atalanta and Jason, across a land ruled by mythological gods. Although little else is known about the game at present, "deep exploration and epic quests" are certainly a given.

All three games are scheduled for release next year on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. We'll bring you more details later in the year.

Codemasters Announces The Next TOCA Title
POSTED: 4/19/2007 12:12 PM
http://gameinformer.com/News/Story/2...1210.32536.htm

Codemasters today announced Race Driver One, the next title in the TOCA Race Driver series. The title is now in development at Codemasters Studios, and will arrive in 2008 for multiple next-gen platforms and PC.

Race Driver One will be the second title after DiRT to use Neon, the studio's new proprietary middleware system. The game will take players t0 racing locations through Europe, the U.S., Japan and more. Race Driver one will include an extensive range of events in the series, combining official circuit-based championships with road races and urban street competitions.

"As each generation of gaming formats shifts up a gear, so does this series and Race Driver One is set to evolve the previously headlined TOCA (DTM/V8) titles as much as DiRT has the Colin McRae series," says Gavin Raeburn, Executive Producer at Codemasters Studios.

"Combining our racing heritage with the Neon engine, Race Driver One will create a world that goes far beyond the traditional boundaries of motorsport gaming, taking players from the most prestigious race circuits to road and street events around the globe. A completely fresh career structure will engage players in an unprecedented range of racing styles as they build a team capable of becoming number one. The Neon engine will be expanded to deliver a new level of visual detail, physics and an astonishing car damage system."

We'll have more on Race Driver One in the coming months.

Codemasters Re-codes New Racing Game
Race Driver One is now called Grid, mate.

http://ps3.ign.com/articles/838/838703p1.html

November 29, 2007 - Codemasters' upcoming racing game now has an official name - and it's not Race Driver One.

That working title has been dropped in favor of GRID (or Racedriver Grid, as it's called on the Codemasters web site).

"Grid is all about the race," said Gavin Raeburn, Executive Producer at Codemasters Studios. "The next iteration of our DiRT engine combined with a decade of experience in developing driving games enables us to put players at the center of the action like never before. Damage, packed grids, intelligent opposition and unprecedented race day atmosphere will combine to deliver an experience like no other."

Gamers will compete on official European race tracks in cars including Aston Martin, Koenigsegg and Pagani. U.S. cities including San Francisco, Washington, D.C., and Detroit - each with their own atmosphere and events - will play host to street races. And Japanese racing culture sets the tone where night races, including drift racing, takes drivers through neon illuminated cities and to outlying mountain roads.

The game is under development for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.

從菜鳥到擁有自己的車隊！《極速房車賽 方格旗》詳細前瞻
來源: www.levelup.cn 時間:2008-3-7 編輯: 光年

曾經製作過《塵土飛揚 科林麥克雷拉力》的廠商Codemasters又將為我們帶來循環賽道競速遊戲的新品牌《極速房車賽 方格旗》。製作組表示這款遊戲並不是為那些喜歡收集賽車和喜歡改裝的人群設計的，這款遊戲的關注重點只是賽車的體驗本身。

遊戲開始你將作為一個初出茅廬的房車賽的新手，你需要和別人共用車庫，只有有限的車輛可以選擇。當你贏得賽事後可以用所得的資金一步一步的壯大自己。



《極速房車賽 方格旗》的職業模式比賽將會包含三大地區——北美、歐洲、亞洲。每一個區域都會有截然不同的賽道風格。在歐洲賽道將會是標準的循環賽道，會有很多經典的賽事可以參加。而日本比賽場地會比較街頭，一般是設在一些有著急彎的山區賽道中。在美國，玩家可以體驗到標準的美式城市飆車的感覺，像是華盛頓、舊金山、長島和底特律這樣的標誌性城市都會出現在遊戲裡。

不過在《極速房車賽 方格旗》裡的職業模式是以多線方式進行的。你可以選擇你想參加的任何賽事。遊戲中你會通過贏得比賽獲取金錢和榮譽。你可以得到新的牌照，和新車。你也可能會被邀請參加一些更著名的比賽。逐漸的你會成為車隊的擁有者。你可以根據經營情況僱傭或是解僱車手。製作方還表示遊戲中每個車手都會有自己的個性，他們會有不同的能力、進取心、以及駕駛風格。你發現了喜歡的車手，就可以僱傭他和你並肩作戰。不過一個車手不可能適合所有的賽道，所以你得根據賽道做決策。

遊戲繼承了《塵土飛揚》的損壞系統設定，比如當你的車受到擦碰時就會有外形上的損毀，而隨著你做一些高難度的動作時，你的車可能會受到內部的損害，比如車的發動機、懸掛系統都會隨著賽事而變舊。

遊戲還設計了很有意思的新系統——閃回。在比賽的過程中，你可以隨時反轉時間退回到10秒前，重新開過這一段。這個系統的確很好用，不過製作組為了更加平衡會設定一場賽事裡你可以使用的次數。而且你一旦使用了閃回，也會影響到你賽後所得的榮譽點數。




遊戲的比賽風格在擬真類遊戲和街機類遊戲之間。不過遊戲也少見的沒有加入天氣系統和調試汽車的系統。可能這樣的設定的確讓更多的玩家專注於比賽的樂趣，不過對於老手來說就少了一些樂趣和優勢。

遊戲的在線部分允許12名玩家同場競技。和《塵土飛揚》一樣，遊戲的畫面絕對是一流的。豐富的觀眾表現和光影效果會讓你有身臨其境的生動感覺。遊戲會保持30幀每秒的穩定畫面表現，相信這款在今年內發售的遊戲會吸引很多不同水平玩家的目光。

玩法又好似幾得意喎, 唔係再一味改車, 而係有得管理車隊/請車手, 希望經營車隊呢 part 會認真 d 去做, 唔好求求其其就算。

GRID demo online
2008-05-08 18:14:38 by Manager
http://www.gamersyde.com/news_6443_en.html

Codemasters today released a demo for GRID on the Marketplace while PSN and PC demos are planned to go up later this week. Here are some images and a video from the quite impressive demo. As you will see in the video, the AI is pretty rough and won't hesitate to use heavy force to go past you. As you play the demo, you'll see that the game is more Arcade than sim - meaning that some people won't like the way the game use drifting, but personally I like what I've seen so far.
Update: First video is up, one lap in Germany.
Update 2: Drifting event in Yokohama!
Update 3: Let's be done with the best looking track of the three: San Francisco. I'm sure the fans of MSR and the first PGR will be delighted to see that track!

Grid Review
by Ryan Geddes
http://ps3.ign.com/articles/876/876208p3.html


IGN Ratings for Grid (PS3)
Rating Description out of 10
8.5 Presentation
The glossy, dynamic DiRT-style menus are back, but without the long load times. Grid is wrapped in a superior package, but the low car count is a bit disappointing.
9.5 Graphics
Beautiful lighting, full damage modeling, great-looking tracks and lovingly-rendered cars, all running smoothly at top speeds? Yes, please.
8.5 Sound
The menu music is great, and the cars purr and scream appropriately, even changing tone with each camera view. But the recorded dialogue gets repetitive too quickly.
9.0 Gameplay
Grid gets racing right. The tracks are intense, the crashes are spectacular to behold and the cars are a blast to drive.
8.0 Lasting Appeal
It will take you a good long while to reach the top of the rankings in Grid's single-player mode, and there's full multiplayer as well.
8.7 Great OVERALL (out of 10 / not an average)

同感...好難安全咁完成一場賽事
搞到我唔係幾想gt5加damage落去

[普通人一個]

個brake感覺唔夠真實，就算好快都好快brake停，完全無推頭既感覺，令入彎時個feel無咁實在，都係Forza 2好玩d..........
