Capcom har sikret sig alle rettighederne til at udgive MotoGP-spil på samtlige platforme. Capcom havde i forvejen Playstation-rettighederne, og sidste år udgav de også MotoGP 07 til Playstation 2, der dog ikke blev synderlig flot modtaget, hvis man kigger på Game Rankings. Vi må håbe, at Capcom formår hæve niveauet, så MotoGP-serien igen kan blive lige så god, og måske bedre end, MotoGP 06. Herunder kan du læse et uddrag af pressemeddelelsen.
Jerez, Spain – March 30, 2008 – Capcom®, a leading developer and publisher of videogames today confirmed that it has secured exclusive worldwide rights to publish official videogames and create peripherals based on the World’s premier motorcycling championship, MotoGP™ across all hardware platforms.
This agreement will run for five years and supersedes the existing rights granted to publish titles on the PlayStation platforms which saw last year’s successful release of MotoGP 07 for the PlayStation® 2 entertainment system.
As part of this new agreement Capcom intends to initially publish titles based on the 2008 MotoGP season for the Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, Sony Computer Entertainment’s PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3™), the Wii™ video game system from Nintendo, PC platform and the PlayStation® 2 entertainment system, plus versions for mobile handsets.
Commenting on the announcement Mark Beaumont, executive vice president, officer and head of Capcom consumer software publishing in the Americas and Europe said: “We are very excited to have signed this long term agreement with Dorna Sports, which for the first time grants one publisher worldwide multi-platform rights to the adrenaline fuelled world of MotoGP. We feel this move to a single publisher will greatly benefit our ability to develop titles that deliver more authenticity and excitement to the consumer”.
