Codemasters and F1

We should know by now that the developer of TOCA, DiRT, and GRiD have won the rights to develop the next generation of F1 games. I would have loved if Sony Liverpool studios continued to develop the series as it had a great feel. The game was set for a hardcore player from the beginning which is one reason I loved it so much. Now with the new title holders, reaching a wider, mass audience is their goal which means dumbing the game down for the new kids to play. I’ve always viewed their games as arcade racers, thus I fear the next F1 titles continuing on with their arcade heritage.
