| selnor said: @ scoobes Before Sony had the rights, many developers used to get permission from the FIA for use of the liscense and teams and drivers. Thats why in N64 and PS1 days, there were several F1 games by different developers. Unfortunately for Sony All the drivers teams belong to the FIA liscense. I imagine the only way they could do it is to pay Codemasters. Thats ehy many games while Sony had the liscense went with F3000 or Formula 2. |
If Sony was still holding the rights for the 2007 season I hope they could still keep the F2007 in there, as well as other cars from that season. It's hard to imagine they put the effort to model the car for prologue knowing they would be unable to use it for the full game.
Honestly I don't have much faith on Codemasters and their F1 game... and I am not saying F1 games were any good when Sony was holding the license. Actually there hasn't been a good F1 game/sim I can't remember except F1:CE and user created mods.
Btw which are these "many" F3000 and F2 games developed while Sony did hold the license? F2 has not been around for more than 20 years and F3000 for some 5.
