Grid Autosport Announced
-----------Codemasters has announced the third entry in the Grid racing series, Grid Autosport for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
Earlier today, Codemasters announced the third game in the Grid series, which is being developed for Xbox 360, PS3, and PC. The game's lead designer James Nicholls, recently explained why production isn't embracing the next-gen platforms.
“One of the unique things for us is we’ve got our own internal Ego technology," he said. "We built this one off the the same heritage of all the previous games have been built to this point. That means we’ve already got a ready-made engine that’s highly optimised for the current-gen hardware, but also PC can really benefit from that. If we moved that particular engine onto next-gen, it’s almost a port job and you’re not really doing a next-gen game. We’re building something that’s forced onto those consoles, that’s not naturally built for them."
He also revealed that the studio is working on technology that will take them onto next-gen platforms.
"What we’ve traditionally done at Codemasters is we’ve always released games that have been built for that new hardware in mind," reveals Nicholls. "So the engines we’re building internally for the new version of Ego of next-gen and the games that are built on that are taking that platform extensions, those new things into account. For our game it didn’t feel right to force a game out."
