F1 2010 Announced (PC, PS3, RROD_Box)

[nekrosoft13]

A new generation of FORMULA ONE games will come to high definition consoles and PC later this year as Codemasters® today announced that F1 2010 will be released this September for RROD_Box® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft®, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and PC Games For Windows®.

As the official game of the 2010 FIA FORMULA ONE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP™, F1 2010 will include all of the official teams, drivers and circuits from the coming season. F1 2010 will feature the return of seven times FORMULA 1 Drivers’ World Champion Michael Schumacher, the introduction of several new teams, and the brand new Korean International Circuit that will host the 2010 FORMULA 1 KOREAN GRAND PRIX.

The September launch will see F1 2010 become the first official FORMULA ONE game to appear for RROD_Box and marks the return of FORMULA ONE to PC after an eight year absence. The arrival of the HD editions of FORMULA ONE follows Codemasters’ extremely successful launch of F1 2009 for Wii and PSP, which became a top five best seller throughout the past holiday period. In F1 2010 gamers will take on the full, expanded grid in a variety of game modes including GRAND PRIX, Championship, Time Trial and an extensive, innovative Career mode. F1 2010 will also feature a highly advanced damage model, fully dynamic weather system and extensive competitive multiplayer options.

In production at Codemasters Studios Birmingham, F1 2010 is being developed using the EGO Game Technology Platform, Codemasters’ proprietary tech that powered the critically acclaimed, million-plus selling Colin McRae: DiRT 2 and Race Driver: GRID. The award-winning technology has been further developed to accurately recreate the unique aerodynamics and handling of 200MPH+ FORMULA ONE cars. The tech combined with Codemasters’ unprecedented access to FORMULA ONE teams and drivers will ensure that F1 2010 delivers the most authentic FORMULA ONE racing experience yet. F1 2010 will be released September 2010 for RROD_Box, PlayStation 3 and Games for Windows.

man I remember trying to play Grand Prix II on my pentium 133, complete with steering wheel. it was an exercise in frustration. I couldn't even make it round the first bend when starting a race without crashing into the car in front or being hit from the rear (no hit from the rear jokes please and watching one of my tyres go rolling down the road.

They will have a purist (and in between) to arcade style mode right? Time to get the Logitech Momo wheel and pedals out!

About time! Geoff Crammond's GP4 was the last decent F1 game. Big F1 fan here and I'll look forward to this. Hopefully there will be a demo.

Looking good, it's a game I've been keeping my eye on for a while.

Wasn't the guy driving supposed to be an expert, so it might have looked easier than it actually was.

I just hope the driving isnt like those arcade ****. Anyway codemasters seem pretty confident about the authenticity, i hope they know what their doing.
