Codemasters are probably the best racing game devs in this age, with DiRT 1 and 2 & GRID they have earned a reputation for making great games - and after they bought the rights from Sony, it seems they are trying to do the same with Formula One 2010. But they are not releasing a demo,
"Due to the nature of the game, and it's layers of licensed content, it will not be possible to make a cut-down, limited content sample that would serve as a demo F1 in 2010 within our production deadlines." said Codemasters community manager Ian Webster. Bummer. Another bummer: there will not be a demo after the launch of F1 2010 - F1 2010 chief designer explains,
"Seeing as we'll have to move over to '11 almost immediately I very much doubt resource will be spent on the '10 demo which would reduce the scope of the '11 game." Sorry i ain't done with the bummers - Paul Jeal, the senior producer on F1 2010 says adding new content to this year's game would take away from next year's title.
"We were looking into DLC and if you take the the 2009 season into consideration lots of drivers moved and lots of things changed. We're less concerned that those types of things are going to happen in 2010. We're also releasing fairly late - September - because we want the game to be accurate and we've had to wait for the 2010 data."
"So we're quite confident we'll be able to get the performance of the teams and replicate that quite well. So right now we're no planning on any major DLC because the core team will then roll onto developing [F1] 2011. So what you might try to shoehorn into 2010, you might really end up taking away from that 2011 experience. So never say never, but right now probably not."
F1 2010 is racing September 2010.
