This is a sad day for racing fans. Codemaster's games were the perfect balance between simulation and arcade. I wish MS/Turn 10/Playground could somehow acquire them.
The good news is the developers are still alive. Hopefully someone has enough money to spin off a new studio free from EA and makes even better versions.
I wish somebody would do a postmortem on the shitshow that is EA WRC, despite having the most beloved rally game dev team and the biggest license in rallying.
Honestly they should have never been yearly releases. Of course everyone is burnt out on them, and nothing innovate has happened in the rally codemaster games in years. I’m sad this is happening but it’s definitely mismanagement.
Yep, they should have just put the yearly changes on something like a season pass and timed the major release with the regulation changes to match the simulation engine development.
Management did exactly what they wanted to do. They released a product with no regard to anything except short term profits. What happens in a year is future thems problem.
They’re gonna have to have a main cast who is just a literal chimpanzee in a vacation shirt flinging actual shit all the time just to achieve any level of unrealistic over the top satire. The real world is just too ridiculous for anything less to be their usual exaggerated caricature.
I feel like you shouldn’t release a date if the game isn’t in ready for release. After releasing the date, all that should come is polish and minor bug fixing
