Codemasters is developing a new IP targeted at "true" next-generation consoles, according to the CV of an ex-Codemasters employee.

The LinkedIn profile of an ex-Codies UI dev reveals that she worked on "a new IP at Codemasters that will span at least 6 platforms including true 'next-gen' hardware" during the summer of 2011.

The online resumé also says that she helped developed the tech for the studio's "new EGO 2 engine", and that the unannounced new IP "will also be the first game to use Codemasters new engine EGO 2".

Earlier this year, Codemasters launched its new 'Codemasters Racing' label to signal the publisher's "razor focus" on the racing genre.

Could the next-gen new IP be a brand new racing series?

In addition to a next-gen IP, Codemasters is also expected to be developing a range of titles targeted at the current generation.

In May, VideoGamer spotted a bunch of CVs suggesting that a sequel to Race Driver: GRID was in development for current-gen platforms. The firm is also due to release F1 2012 this September.

Well it better come to Wii U because I know tons of people will be like "lol, the Wii U is not a next gen console"

I'm getting so annoyed by this stuff and if it doesn't come to Wii U because of power I'm going to blame Nintendo for this because Nintendo should know that power matters.

Power doesn't matter. Nintendo SHOULD now this!
Remember when more people brought the PS1 when the N64 was more powerful?
Remember when more people brought the PS2 even though the GameCube was more powerful?
Lastly, remember when more people brought the Wii even though the PS3 and Xbox 360 were more powerful?

If the Wii U doesn't get third party games because of the power that's a problem.

I do not approve

Ok so this game was canceld in 2011, people where calling the PS3/360 next gen consoles, even Warren Spector said it, so he must of mean true next gen consoles which would be Wii U, PS4, and Xbox 720.

It is actually said the N64 was a more powerful game system. However the size of cartridges was a big limiting factor compared to the PS One CDs. Also I would have to add that the Mario game was a launch title for the N64 so which normally means they don't show off the graphics well.

6 platforms, im not worried it wont come to wii u

The Wii also had a pathetically limited library of third party games compared to N64/GCN.

Also consider the fact that PS1 and PS2 were underpowered, but still within the same gen hardware-wise as their competitors. If the Wii was like the PS2 in that it was entirely current gen, yet the weakest, it still would have done great probably, maybe even better than it did.

You made a great point.

It doesn't have to be the strongest, but it needs to be the strong enough to be able to compete and also be as attractive as possible to developers.

Yeah, the N64 is more powerful than the PS1, it's a little sad though that the cartidges held back some of the N64's power.

Yeah, they couldn't hold as much data as CDs and were too expensive to make multiple cartridges for one game in the same faction as Changing disk for a game like FF 7 on the PS.

Yeah, If I could go back in time I would beg Nintendo to make the N64 CD based, making the N64 cartridge based was probably the worst mistake they ever did.

Guys....I never said anything about third party games.....Jeez....

[uh20]

lets just hope they aren't biassed and making this just for the new playstation/xbox

RE is prerendered.

[Lord Pickleton]

Do we really have to make each thread about which console is more powerful than the other?

How would you explain Metal gear Solid 4?

Um that game wouldn't fit in this as it was not around that generation.

[eugoreez]

define "true next-gen console" please
