Codemasters drops online pass for F1 2013

4.5
F1 2013 will ditch the online pass functionality previously attached to a number of Codemasters' racing titles.

The unpopular system - recently discontinued by publisher EA - requires players to either input a code found in new copies of a game or pay a one-time fee to access online multiplayer features.

It's not yet clear if Codies intends to drop online passes for its other racing series like Grid and Dirt, but it confirmed in a F1 2013 Q&A that no such pass will be required for the upcoming game.

It also said there won't be a demo of the title as it wants to focus all of its resources on the final product, and explained that McLaren and Ayrton Senna won't feature in the new F1 Classics mode due to licensing issues.

Codemasters has announced a F1 2013 release date of October 4 on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.

Featuring all the cars, circuits and star drivers from the 2013 season, the game will be available in two editions: F1 2013 and F1 2013: Classic Edition.

The standard edition of the game provides access to iconic cars and drivers from the 1980s, while the premium edition delivers more classic content from the 1990s.

Homunculous F1 2013 is a game? I have never heard of it.


Cool, why do we care?


Why do you post meaningless, nonsensical comments everywhere I look, -CP?
You just post to boost your count up, and at the same time, usually insult people in the process.

I'm glad they decided to ditch the passes, it seems to be becoming the norm for most games lately anyway, just following suit I can imagine.


They are not meaningless; I asked him why we would care that he has never heard of the game.


But why not just not post, I mean he was in the wrong as well with the pointless post but still.

OT: Seems like everyone is ditching online passes lately.

Should of left Grid 2 for another year, added a second disc for F1 2013 and made more sales. Grid 2 was nothing on the original anyway so it could of done with a unique selling point.
