Where do Codemasters get the cash from?

Skate-AK2277d ago

Guessing the yearly F1 games. Dirt is pretty big too.

neutralgamer19922277d ago

Code masters have are wealthy developer

neutralgamer19922276d ago

I meant to say they are quite rich. They sold 50% to one of the richest companies in India so their parent company is faulty rich

Reliance bought 50% of code masters in 2010

Codemasters should Acquire NFS maybe we could get it back on original formula again.

by the way Happy Thanksgiving guys.

USMC_POLICE2277d ago

Dude heat is a huge step in the right direction.

sprinterboy2276d ago (Edited 2276d ago )

Forget acquiring nfs, but instead make a game to compete and blow nfs out the water.
Their is certainly a market there for another nfs type game but actually done right..
Edit: nfs has turned into a shite fast and furious TV game spin off, that's why they've been shite for the last 10 years, lost its identity of actually being a nfs game.

AuraAbjure2277d ago

Well the game awards 2019 nominated two of their games for best racing game 2019 so Codemasters aren't exactly slackers.

sprinterboy2276d ago

Codemasters do some great racers for sure.
I live within 20 miles of the devs in Leamington Spa, still hoping for that game tester job haha.
I think they should get Paul rustchynsky to head up the new studio and game imo.

Applejack2277d ago

Wow, I completely forgot about that thing! I bet they’re hoping most people do too.

2ndhandcorn2277d ago

xTonyMontana2277d ago

Public Eye Creators Wolf Games Are Switching To AI-Generated Gaming

When Wolf Games unveiled its debut title Public Eye, the announcement felt less like a routine game launch and more like a signal flare for the future of

Inverno3h ago

The irony is that it's actually humans ruining everything.

ApexLanding237h ago

I will never purchase an AI generated game, I will not contribute to something that takes away artistic human expression and creation in gaming. I'm not one of those people who says, "I hope this fails" like so many often do about everything gaming these days but on this one I have to. AI has it's place, just not here.

That’s It, I’m Calling It, Xbox Is Dead, Time Of Death February 20

If you read Kotaku even semi-regularly, you already know that Xbox has been in a weird spot for some time now. And with today’s news that both Xbox boss Phil Spencer and President Sarah Bond are leaving and the new head of the brand will be a former Meta exec who previously lead Microsoft’s AI division, I think it’s time to call it. Xbox is dead. Time of death: February 20, 2026

God! Xbox dead again! Boring! Boring. Heard it all before.

InUrFoxHole8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

While I normally agree... The future of xbox is on shaky ground. Well, xbox as we know it. Im not sure what they are shooting for but who they put in charge mixed with Phil retiring and bond just flat out leaving. It's not looking good.

REDDURT1h ago

Im with you but in western countries I have noticed a trend to put women in control to prevent any kind of critics.

Levii_929h ago

Oh come on, Xbox has been dead for at least 10 years now. I think what’s more important right now is Playstation’s death that is very slowly but surely happening through mismanagement and greed.

InUrFoxHole8h ago

Some what agree. Sony is in a better position to unf#$k themselves. Xbox isn't.

Levii_924h ago

True i agree with that, xbox's got nothing

ocelot077h ago

I actually agree sooner Hust is gone the better.

Levii_924h ago

He's being clowned on by the entire internet but i have been clowning on him way before he became CEO. I hate modern PS so much man. To this day i have no idea how Astro Bot happend in this terrible PS era but that was clearly a miracle.

Grilla6h ago

Delusional take, why do xbots always project Xbox’s problems onto PlayStation?

0hMyGandhi1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

Respectfully, This is probably one of my least favorite tactics in making an argument.
I'll give you an example: If I like the color red, it doesn't mean I hate the color blue.

People lamenting the (potential) demise of the xbox brand has nothing to do with sony or playstation. It has everything to do with xbox. Now, for the sake of argument, you could say that Sony and Microsoft are two peas in a pod, and that they've both made absolutely baffling and worryingly stupid decisions in the recent past. But I truly believe that Xbox would be shooting itself in the foot regardless of Sony's presence (I look at you, Xbox One reveal with always online DRM and the inability to share games).

Sony, on the other hand, is making stupid decisions to stay competitive with the market, and like Microsoft, is seemingly forcing by proverbial gunpoint talented developers to try to make the next GAAS experience and never learning their lesson. I believe that Microsoft squandering RARE is the equivalent of Sony squandering Naughty Dog. Neither platform really knows what they want to be, BUT Sony is alot further along in figuring it out before Microsoft pulls out another revolver and takes aim at another of it's own toes.

This is why the views and comments are low, with lame articles that use divide-and-conquer pretensions.

Ubisoft CEO Explains Three-Year Plan to Revamp Game Publisher Through New ‘Creative House’ Strategy

“Assassin’s Creed” publisher Ubi soft is trying to emerge from a rocky few years. CEO Yves Guillemot breaks down the new strategy for success.

Well it will come down to the games. Hopefully they live up in o expectation.

“Ubi soft is trying to emerge from a rocky few years“

^ THIS after Ubisoft’s fluff pieces about how great they are doing after Assassins, Attack on Titan and laying offs. The hype fell the floor apparently.

Agent759h ago

I was a bit gutted with The Division, too many bells and whistles like Far Cry. Never rated Prince of Persia or The Crew. Rayman, it’s too long in the tooth, lay it to rest.

PRIMORDUS8h ago

Far Cry and Assassin's Creed, this is all Ubishit can make. It would be better if Ubishit just close down, and sell their other IP's, like Splinter Cell, Beyond Good and Evil, etc. Far Cry and Assassin's Creed can just die, that is enough.
