Codemasters have announced "Project Strike Team". What is it? Nobody knows, but boy, that name needs a do-over. It's built on their new EGO engine, the game is a 'character-driven action title', and we don't know what platforms it'll appear on. What we do know is that the EGO engine is built to handle enormous environments, and that the game will incorporate the developer's experience with driving games. So a Codemasters GTA clone? Our magic 8-ball says "why not".

Oh man, Freedom Fighters!
Strike team ? Like in the Tv show the Shield? The huge environment could be the city as in GTA but just from the dirty cops' perspective.
That could be fun but likely improbable I guess.
I wouldn't mind a gritty dirty cop game, so long as the storyline holds up. I wouldn't mind reworking the premise behind Second Sight into an above average new IP, either.
@tehFluffzComeback: Haha was thinking the same thing, due to the art. With semi max-payne-ish looking effect.
Man if its anything like FF Im going to be happy.
Will be keeping an eye on any news that comes up with this project.
My guess is that it will be like Lost Cause except not as good because Codemasters aren't good at making video games.
@tehFluffzComeback: You managed to turn my exasperated sigh at reading the title into hopeful anticipation. Of course, that just means I have someone to blame when they let me down. :D
Sounds good, I'll take 100 GTA/Crackdown clones, but just based on that name I would have guessed it was a generic FPS. Hopefully the game is more creative than the name.
's gon be terrible
Enourmous environments,EGO engine....fair to assume the wii wont see this ...
Ah, a Codemasters title beginning with "Project". Why oh why couldn't it be a decent Project IGI game? Granted, they dropped the "Project" prefix on the second one, but bring it on all the same. The single player was buggy to no end (sometimes game-breakingly), but the multiplayer was a blast.
Yeah it looks like a dirty cop game ala the shield. The last dirty cop game to come out was narc I think and that was utter crap. I'd love to see what these guys can do for a virtually untapped subgenre.
Codemasters made DiRT, which happens to be one of the best racing games on 360/PS3, maybe the best racer of 2007. So I have some faith if they are doing a GTA type game.
The Shield..in game-form..but good?! Please!
