Codemasters is developing a new IP targeted at "true" next-generation consoles, according to the CV of an ex-Codemasters employee.

The LinkedIn profile of an ex-Codies UI dev reveals that she worked on "a new IP at Codemasters that will span at least 6 platforms including true 'next-gen' hardware" during the summer of 2011.

The online resumé also says that she helped developed the tech for the studio's "new EGO 2 engine", and that the unannounced new IP "will also be the first game to use Codemasters new engine EGO 2".

Earlier this year, Codemasters launched its new 'Codemasters Racing' label to signal the publisher's "razor focus" on the racing genre.

Could the next-gen new IP be a brand new racing series?

In addition to a next-gen IP, Codemasters is also expected to be developing a range of titles targeted at the current generation.

In May, VideoGamer spotted a bunch of CVs suggesting that a sequel to Race Driver: GRID was in development for current-gen platforms. The firm is also due to release F1 2012 this September.

"True" next-gen consoles? Shots fired at Wii U! lol

I guess that means they'll launch it next year with a PC version.

I like you.

'True' next gen consoles huh.

Well, is a shorter way to say "the succesor of 360 and PS3". I think that everyone here understood what he said.

 

[MisterHero]

They'll need next-gen prices to keep up with next-gen costs

 

[Kinyou]

They still owe us an Operation Flashpoint that actually looks like this anyway

 

[CrunchinJelly]

It's been canned by now.

Codemasters only do racing now. DiRT, GRiD and F1.

 

[Visualante2]

I always found it laughable that one or two people on this board pointed to Codemasters to bring premium WiiU games like DiRT. They haven't been in bed with one another since the days of Micro Machines.

 

[Coen]

PC exclusive confirmed.

Except for that whole 'six platforms' thing.

That's how I read it.. since people still refer to those consoles as "next-gen" even though we're like 6-7 years in

It was listed as a 'new IP'.

Codemasters' press release in April said they are concentrating on GRiD, DiRT and F1 going forward. Plus, this is back from Summer 2011. Back when Codemasters had faith in Operation Flashpoint and Bodycount.

 

[kittens]

ouch, sick burn

I reckon they're taking it to the streets next..

Or, you know, maybe before this game was canned and in 2011 people were still stupidly calling 7th gen consoles "next gen", they meant those consoles' successors. Nah, that couldn't be it. Trolling is much more fun.

Why do you find that funny? Shouldn't you be angry that she was disrespectful?

 

[Always-honest]

Game better be a "true" Upgrade from all the other games then.
