Lewis Hamilton teams up with EA in £5million deal

[danroyle]

Question is, if they did two versions with Alonso on one cover would they be of equal quality or would the Hamilton one perform better?

thats an easy one to answer of course the hamilton one will perform better but for those of you that bought the alonso version you will be sent a pram and some toys

So feel free to jump right in there and spend hours throwing your toys out of the pram until everyone bows down and worships you

They haven't even used the license since 2003 have they? That doesn't bode well.

I always thought Sony had gained the exclusive licence a few years ago, and it ran out soon - I guess 2008, given that EA are planning a game for '08.

Sony never made a decent F1 game IMO, EA's weren't much good in the past eather, F1 Challenge was good simple because it was modded so much.

If you play too well, will you face random steward enquiries, and be stripped of your victories?

p.s. Hamilton is the ultimate f1 racing sim playtester. He learnt many of the tracks from playing on a PC. I hope he is involved in developing the game, and that he's not just there for the marketing.

Doesn't Codemasters have the license for F1?
I'd trust Codemasters way more than EA for driving games...

[Andy3536]

I thought codemasters were going to release an F1 game next year, are we going to see 2 F1 games competing?

[staffsMike]

Oh I do hope full FIA rules and bias are included

*mumbles* let it go mike.. let it go.

they do and there will be only one F1 game released next year and no i dont trust CM. i much rather have EA to do it. expect the next F1 game to have a drift mode

So, EA are sefenatly making an F1 game, and so are codemasters http://www.formula1.com/news/intervi...08/5/7859.html

[j.o.s.h.1408]

why wait till next year for that when you can just get this and play it now. http://www.gameloo.info/2008/07/f1-r...s-patches.html

I've really missed the F1 games, I haven't played one since my old PS1. Murray Walker shouting 'He's into the barriers' every five seconds. Can't wait
