After Sony decided to ditch the F1 license for financial and popularity reasons, another publisher has decided to pick it up. According to GameSpot, Codemasters has bought the rights to F1 license.
The first game to come out of this agreement will be released on “home console, handheld and PC gaming formats” in 2009, and is expected to be based on next season’s roster. The game is being developed with the developer’s own EGO engine, the same one being used in GRID.

Ben Cousins, DICE’s executive producer and the senior developer of upcoming Battlefield: Heroes game was interviewed by GamesIndusty.biz. Cousins says the web will be the dominant gaming platform of the future. This statement holds plenty of ground when you look at the crazy popularity of “casual” web based video games. Ofcourse, let’s not forget Battlefield: Heroes is also browser based and is catergorised as a “casual” game.
“People talk about which of the two, PlayStation or Xbox, is going to be the big platform of the future,” Cousins said.
“I think the web is going to be the big platform of the future, whether it’s running on an iPhone or a Mac or on the PC.”
