I never thought I’d be saying this, but the EA Sports F1 games from 1999-2002 were the best I’ve ever played. After that, Sony managed to get exclusive rights to the F1 franchise and all hope was lost for a good F1 simulator on the PC. I’m sure the games were decent enough on the PS2/PS3 but I don’t own one of those, and I’m not about to buy one just to play 1 game. But now the news has gone from bad to worse. Codemasters have secured the video game rights to make the next F1 game. Anyone remember the TOCA Race Driver series? Those games have possibly the worst driving physics I have ever played. Coming a close second is the Colin McRae Rally racing series. That series also had appalling vehicle handling. The only upside to this story is that there is a chance that I will be able to play an F1 racing game on my PC once again. Apparently Codemasters are going to use the same engine that they are using in their new game, GRID. Hopefully GRID doesn’t suck. Oh please, oh please don’t let that game suck.
