Codemasters should bring back the Dizzy games!

Could someone please be on the lookout for an unregistered user (going by the IP address 82.32.5.17) making unqualified changes and deletions to the page and its sections.

Apologies, but I found 1/3 of the article was pretty irrelevant, concerned with Consolevania not codemasters. Given that you also added very similar information to Ultimate/Rare maybe this should be linked to rather than inlined?


 * Honestly, the anon is right. Most of this information should be trimmed down. Andre (talk) 03:38, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

this consolemania nonesense doesnt belong on this page, please someone remove it. These guys are no bodies who are trying to make themselves notable. Same goes for the rare page.

Who EXACTLY are you? You're unregistered that's for sure. I don't think it's really on for someone who doesn't want to register, to go suggesting that other users delete information. You could well be the same person who actually suggested that the whole Consolevania entry be deleted, because their production wasn't notable. I think you'll find that "no bodies" are not people that manage to create currently the world's most successful video show on gaming, and get TWO series commissions from the BBC off the back of this.

This whole entry on Codemasters is pretty slim at this stage and has been for a while. Why don't you add the kind of background detail that other games companies have written about them (once you've registered that is)? That's the only reason this mention of Consolevania seems so prominent to you. Or do you perhaps have another agenda, Mr IP address 87.194.7.162? Were you also responsible for removing the information about how Codemasters were using Starforce copy protection on their PC games and the critism surrounding that? Are you perhaps a member of staff of the said company, maybe even part of their PR department?

I might only think the latter because of how close your posting was a seperate entry addition you made about the Playstation Portable version of Cannon Fodder. This comes just hours after the news of this was made public. Of course it would a be dead giveaway if you'd done this BEFORE the official announcement was made.

im having trouble understanding your incoherent ramblings, I found there was a PSP version released on british gaming blog, so feeling nostalgic about my old favourite amiga game i notice the PSP section is missing so I write 2 lines of information. I check Codemasters page via a link on Cannon Fodder to see these 3 kids challenging Codemasters to a fight in the back of a car park. These guys are unknown by most people on the internet let alone in the world and they seem to get their jollies from mocking companies and trying to prove how "hard" you are, so I suggest the tripe be deleted. The 3 ugly amigos article should either be on the consolemania page, or deleted outright as it is non notable, just some people attention seeking.

Hi everyone. I've neatened up the whole Consolevania section, it looked messy and contained too many unknowns and assumptions. It now reads much better and is more encyclopedic in style. Just one image was fine. Remember to sign your posts! as it helps with making sense of a discussion. BillPP 01:24, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

This section is all good, and shows all of codemaster games except quatro Adventure that is in existence and reviewed by people like armake and if this is seen as a unwanted edit, please avoind this request (http://youtube.com/watch?v=ByK8D0dziVg)

Maelstrom
Maelstrom is a game of theirs and is not on this page =[ MonkeyLord81 18:15, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Codemasters have been responsible for a great many games since 1985, but only the ones that are most significant to the company need to be mentioned in this article. They also did not develop Maelstrom, just published it. Cheers,  Mi re ma re  18:15, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

"This game is absolutely brilliant!"
I remember seeing these "reviews" on the front of Codemasters games, all written by the Darlings or Olivers, but can't find scans of any covers that include them. Fruit Machine Simulator as mentioned in the article doesn't have one (see http://www.cpczone.net/covers/scan/532). Cpc464 (talk) 04:49, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Aha, found one http://www.cpczone.net/covers/scan/1195. "Very fast, very addictive, just like the real thing! If you like speed and contact motorsport then buy this game - David Darling". I'll add a link or something. Cpc464 (talk) 04:59, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

CD system
Someone should mention the Codemasters CD system from 1990. It wasn't a CD-ROM, but an actual audio CD with games recorded on it, in the style of games on cassette tape. You had to plug your CD player into the ear port or something. 86.142.245.22 (talk) 00:05, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

OFP:DR
Just noticed this:

They currently own the rights to use the title Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising, but have parted with the original developer Bohemia Interactive Studio.

They've actually stopped calling it OFP2 since apparently they didn't have the rights to make a sequel, just a game using the name OFP. It's a fairly minor point though so didn't know if I should edit it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.137.40.26 (talk) 16:23, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

OFP:DR Has failed massively. The complaints threads are thousands of pages long. Refunds are not forthcoming. Expect court-room excitement to follow soon. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.253.68.38 (talk) 01:03, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Grammar
In the section Debate about the management of on-line games the following phrase:


 * "Nevertheless, terms of the contract does not forbid[...]"

Shouldn't it be "terms of the contract do not forbid"? Looks like a concordance error, but as I am not a native speaker I am not sure about the correct usage of the word "terms", so I decided asking before touching the text.Panglossa | Talk 23:28, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Merger with Evolution Studios
According to the article on Evolution Studios the development team there joined Codemasters in April 2016. Their new game, OnRush looks a lot like the style of racing game (Motorstorm Series) that Evolution Studios was known for. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.156.225.215 (talk) 04:25, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

Codemasters did NOT buy Evolution studios
This constantly keeps coming up due to bad reporting at the time by IGN and the like. So I'm placing this here as a permanent record. Codemasters did NOT buy Evolution Studios. They only hired the staff. The staff were made redundant by Sony and received a job offer from Codemasters. Evolution Studios was not sold. See this quote from Frank Sagnier, Codemasters CEO "So we've made a job offer to all employees and I'm happy to say that most of them have accepted and are joining us. We're only hiring employees, we are not taking any of the IP or the technology. It's purely the people we are after.". A job offer, not the purchase of Evolution Studios which is still registered in Sony's name at Companies House. The reporting of this at the time was diabolical. Here's the link to an article that reported it correctly. - X201 (talk) 14:16, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
