Re: The "To be announced" game I couldn't name.....
I used to work at Swordfish Studios, who were owned by Vivendi who then went on to purchase Activision. Following that deal they decided to divest the studio and we got picked up by Codemasters, so that's where I am now. I'm currently working in Central Tech (EGO engine), but also get involved in the design stuff for the racing titles.
It's a good laugh Roy, nothing ground breaking, but a dam good effort considering the license!!

Just read the 360 Gamer and X360 Mag previews. They're wanking over it!!! Everyone was expecting it to be total crap, but now they've all played final code, they love it.
Maxim have rated it higher than Killzone 2! Although Maxim is hardly the gamers bible. lol
From the 360 Gamer Preview:
We Liked:
Slick addictive action
Swearing button
THQ for picking it up
We Disliked:
Everything before playing it
Almost nothing afterwards
Activision for prefering Crash
Considering no one here even wanted to work on a 50 Cent game, it looks like it's going to be received as the best title we've ever produced!!
Looking forward to getting my free copy to rinse some easy gamerpoints out of. lol

Re: The "To be announced" game I couldn't name.....
I think the last CodeMasters title i actually enjoyed was Overlord! Drop some hints to make a sequel please Lee
Actually come to think of it do CodeMasters actually make games anymore or just publish other studios titles? Hmmm.

We were Swordfish when we did 50 Cent.
Overlord 2 is in dev. The original was well received.
Codies still develop. GRID, DIRT, Operation Flashpoint and F1 are all in house.

Has '50' actually had much say on the game?

Cool, least he's not one of those just to come along and slap his name on a title for some extra $$$$.
Is it about to go Gold then or is it been held incase of leaks?
Just watching a few vid's on it now, not a great fan of him but the game looks pretty good.
Some easyish achievements too

GMC was a month or so back. Now all versions are passed submission it should be off to the pressing plants. So no doubt there will be a copy up to download soon!! It's all in THQs hands now, so the rest is down to them.
Yeah, the achievements aren't bad. We weighted them more towards the main game, rather than loads you have to get playing it online.

Some of the office gheyers talking about the game: http://kotaku.com/5139811/the-50-cent-game-has-a-story-these-are-the-people-behind-it
can i be nosey and ask for any info please?! i loved operation flashpoint and it's add ons!
map editor was tons of fun too.
be interested to play a demo of the 50 cent game too, something i wouldnt ordinarily look to play, but seeing as the reviews are so great it must be worth a shot!

I really can't say anything mate. Codies are strict on info leaks. It's not worth the risk.:dapprove:
If you liked the first though, it's very much the same sort of thing. Not enough action for me. lol
I can't see there being a demo. We didn't do a demo, as getting the game finished was the main priority. As you can imagine, being owned by Codemasters, finished a game for Activision Blizzard, which was then going to be published by THQ made things awkward.

i liked the first one because it was 'realistic' (i say that in quotes because i dont think a computer game will ever be a close representation of what going to war is like! but you know what i mean im sure!)
If it's anything similar as you say im sure ill like it. Will probably give it a go unless regardless unless the reviews are shocking lol

Ive just showed my 15yr lad (grant ) this thread he says he looking forward to playing this game................ Oh the joys more money to spend. Question will it be rated 18 ? As when grant goes to game station he is always asked his age with certain games then i have to go and buy it for him.
Shed.
Looks as though youve taken splinter cell DA and modified it in a lot of ways possible.
It's VERY quotable. Half the office have been going round abusing each other with comments from the game. "f**k you, you f**king *****" being a poplular one.
It may not be to a lot of peoples tastes, but it's going to sell bucket loads. Estimated 2 million.
2 million is very good. Very few games clear 1.
Gears 1 did almost 6!!! Ghost Recon 1 on 360 did 2.2m to give you an idea. The second did 1.5.
Crackdown, which I think is an awesome game, just cleared 1.5. So 2 million is amazing. I think that would net THQ something in the reqion of 70-80 million profit, as they didn't have to fund any of the dev.
GTA IV is now up to around 12 million in total on both formats!!!!!!!!!

Who's that?
Does it have the c word?
It did originally, until the MD came in and said "I'm not letting a game leave this studio with the word c**t in it, so you f**king c***s had better remove it". lol
Funny, as he calls me one each day.
