Codemasters: We'd "love" to revisit TOCA

GamerZines writes:

At a recent press event for F1 2011, chief game designer Steve Hood has revealed he'd "love" to make a new game in the TOCA series, the last of which was based around the British Touring Car Championship.

Oh man, yes please! The TOCA series is my quintessential racing favorite on consoles ever. Massive amount of real world tracks, plethora of racing disciplines, full structural/mechanical damage on every car, cockpit view, frequent random mistakes by the A.I., and an integrated story. Make it happen already Codemasters! Oh, and stay away from GRID's arcadey mechanics.

bumnut5439d ago

TOCA was amazing, but I think they would keep the crappy Grid/Dirt handling to appeal to more people.

FlyShootRaceSims5439d ago

God I hope not. How Codies, with their massive experience in racing games came out with GRID's cars that turn on their center axis is beyond me. What where they thinking? I do like the dynamic feeling of being inside the Grid racers though. That would be a welcome addition to a new TOCA.

Jdoki5439d ago

I love Grid, but TOCA 2 is just about my fave driving game of all time.

No other game has captured the feeling of being absolutely on the limit of grip while racing.

bumnut5439d ago

The first F1 game for PS2 also had an amazing feeling of grip, not sure what it was called though.

FlyShootRaceSims5439d ago

I share your sentiment. While I like the contemporary race games, I still hold the TOCA series in a higher regard.

Taz Yamauchi5439d ago

TOCA 3 is in one of my greatest games of all time, if they anounce TOCA 4 i'll probably dump GT5, well untill GT6 ofcoz, Come on do it Codies

laz19735439d ago

What about doing World Touring Car Championships (WTCC) I've still got toca for PS1 lol and it was one of the best games I'd played apart from Colin McRae 2.0 which I have still got also .

Reborn5439d ago

TOCA was brilliant.

Played that non-stop. Would be nice to see it comeback.

Lylat_645439d ago

Ah the fun it was to drive around in tank in TOCA Touring Car Championship :D

An update on EA SPORTS™ WRC.

Dear Rally Community,

Every great journey eventually finds its finish line, and today, we announce that we've reached the end of the road working on WRC.

'It marked the first time the studio had used the license in 18 years since 2022’s Colin McRae Rally 3.'

Can you not get AI to do proofreading?

TheColbertinator398d ago

Weird article written by a bot.

In any case I knew EA would ruin Codemasters.

badboyz09397d ago (Edited 397d ago )

Codemasters will likely close soon😞

Here’s the deal with this bullsh*t, and this is the single reason I f*cking hate digital, this wouldn’t be so much an issue if these people would give an announcement before they pull their games so people have a chance to get them before they’re gone. I mean, how hard is that to do?

Like, I prefer digital for the convenience of it and making me less of a hoarder, but stuff like this can drive me up the wall and I’m aware this also happens with physical games, but you can still acquire a game from eBay, though all scalped to hell, whereas digital you’re SOL… unless you have a PC.

spicelicka441d ago

Not to mention they also replace old base games with "bundles" back at full price. Some of the old and shittiest COD games are still full price on digital stores.

phatak441d ago (Edited 441d ago )

yup everything you said is correct, but with digital you can also acquire it lol thanks to piracy, thats what made me a pirate . Spec ops the line got delisted last year and I just pirated it and never looked back, unfortunately these bigger publishers dont care about older games so dont even give a reminder, so if they dont even care about their own older games, why should I help them with their new games, ill pirate those as well. GOG is the best, you dont even need to pirate those, the games literally dont have any drm, and you can keep the files permanently too.

Michiel1989441d ago

the reason why i hate digital is because in 20 years when the servers go down, you can't play single player games anymore because shitty fucking companies want you to login to some arbitrary service to pad the numbers.

When a company like GoG does better than a titan like Sony, you know how terrible the state of gaming is.

Vits440d ago

Technically you are not wrong, only forgot to add Rights Management after the "digital".

CantThinkOfAUsername441d ago

These games had exactly 0 players. If you haven't played any of them by now you really didn't care in the slightest. Suddenly you're dying to play one of these classic turds? Sail to cs.rin.ru.

MrWood441d ago

Your right, if you click on the article vs the clickbait picture showing new and modern games, they are all old games I’ve never even heard of.

Zeke68440d ago

If you never heard of any of these games, are you even a gamer? ;)

To Sony, and so many other companies in this industry, the short-term satisfaction and happiness of their shareholders means so much more to them than their employees, their products, and their customers.

Yi-Long825d ago

Apologies, don't know how the above comment ended up here while it clearly should have gone to other article about the Sony lay-offs. Please delete.
