MUMBAI: A new generation of Formula One games will come to high definition consoles and PC as Codemasters has announced that F1 2010 will be released on 24 September for Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system and PC Games For Windows.
Zapak Games, the licensing and merchandising arm of Zapak Digital Entertainment, will distribute the title in India.
As the official game of the 2010 FIA Formula One World Championship, F1 2010 will include all of the official teams, drivers and circuits from the coming season. F1 2010 will feature the return of seven times Formula 1 Drivers’ World Champion Michael Schumacher, the introduction of several new teams, and the brand new Korean International Circuit that will host the 2010 Formula 1 Korean Grand Prix.
The launch will see F1 2010 become the first official Formula One game to appear for Xbox 360 and marks the return of Formula One to PC after an eight year absence. The arrival of the HD editions of Formula One follows Codemasters’ launch of F1 2009 for Wii and PSP.
In F1 2010 gamers will take on the full, expanded grid in a variety of game modes including Grand Prix, Championship, Time Trial and an extensive, innovative Career mode. F1 2010 will also feature an advanced damage model, a weather system and competitive multiplayer options.
F1 2010 has been developed using the Ego Game Technology Platform, Codemasters’ proprietary tech that powered the critically acclaimed, million-plus selling Colin McRae: DiRT 2 and Race Driver: GRID. The award-winning technology has been further developed to accurately recreate the unique aerodynamics and handling of 200MPH+ Formula One cars.
