“Codemasters TOCA series was always intended to be an arcade title”

Read the watermark. Thats right. TOCA Race Driver 2 was the “Ultimate Racing Simulation”. Could have fooled me. Wasn’t a simulation and it sure as hell wasn’t the ultimate at anything. But 1 out of 3 isn’t too bad I guess.

Let us move onto TOCA Race Driver 3s screenshots.

Oh, the game didn’t have this did it?

Codemasters record for telling the truth in pre-release PR Stuff so far has been around 0% as far as simulations are concerned. Perhaps this F1 “sim” will be different, but this is a boy who cried wolf scenario and I’m not going to give the benefit of the doubt to any company claiming TOCA RD2 was the “Ultimate Racing Simulation”

I have to laugh, you guys sdo realise Codemasters TOCA series was always intended to be an arcade title, only the first two editions had a sim leaning.

GT5P has shown a console sim can be a match for rfactor and GTR2, IF that is what the developers are aiming for.

Wow, tigertails, I didn`t know Codemasters fanboys existed. Now, leave the internet, you are pulling down the average IQ.

A reciept for a good F1 game= rebadge Rfactor or GTR2 with 2009 F1 cars and tracks = Money in teh bank

arcade fanboys will be amazed at how realistic it is

So now they should start a forum for us hardcore simmers for a start & really start listening…get a rep from the dev team to start the ball rolling on the communication then we’ll see….

Yep, I think they’re worth another chance.
Now they have the F1 licence, I hope they really do realise that they can’t just pump out some arcade trash.
Theres money in the sim market too, so splitting sim and arcade modes is the best way to go.
Of course if they blow it with an F1 title, then we can drag them down afterwards. No good doing it before we even see a screenshot.
I’m going to keep an open mind for now.

…will get a completely different treatment from our in-house team…

A team that wouldn’t be able to recognize a proper driving sim enen if they’d be ran over by it lol.

Just like toca race driver’s subtitle “the ultimate racing simulator”. It didn’t even have friggin qualify, and the ai could only keep up by “catchup cheating” ! let alone the total crap physics.

Have heard them say exactly the same regarding race driver series – the ultimate racing simulator….
Maybe they doesnt know what simulation means,

Sure I like to see SimBin getting the license, but since they don´t I think this will be any good. Sure this guy says that Grid was meant for the arcade player, but they also said that is was on GTR2 kind of realism levels, yeah right. I like to see them prove me wrong, but I don´t think they will…

History has a way of repeating itself @ Codemasters and they really need to work on the FFB issues before I’ll fall for their rhetoric.
