Gambit Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I agree with Codemasters I was a beta tester for on Race Driver Grid and said it felt arcadey :( like Colin Mcrae rally was ace before they started doing the drift games :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Pete Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I'm going back to the speccy days of codemasters leisure suit Larry, and dizzy games. Then the original Colin McRae rally and Toca series. The games were so much better back in the days when you get the impression the developers were writing the games they wanted and enjoyed playing rather than all these corporate cash generating licences they produce these days.

Gambit Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Dizzy loved that game they tried to remake it but was asking for funding donations and didn't get enough :( http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-12-14-oliver-twins-admit-defeat-in-dizzy-returns-kickstarter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogconker Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I work as a consultant in the construction industry mainly with Health and safety and legal compliance. Sounds a bit dull on face but I get to go into all sorts of odd places, nuclear plants, oil and gas terminals, prisons and rail works, even been underneath the streets of London on a tunnel boring machine. Lots of travelling and some places I go are pretty poor roads which is why I bought the XV. Down side is really dull meetings in Central London talking about dull stuff. Can't complain though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfnick Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Used to be an accountant. Got sick of it and decided office work wasn't for me. Tried to get into a mechanic apprenticeship but couldn't take the pay hit. Then over 3 years ago my brother in law got an opening at his work to become an electrician. Been doing that since. It has its good and bad days, prefer it to being an office worker though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitman Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Codemasters isn't a family company any more but in the hands of investors, people with no knowledge about games but only want their invested money back... this broke the whole company IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaulson Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 Everyone at my work is very close and it feels like a family, which is why it's so enjoyable working here. Pay ain't too bad either but nothing like a lot of you guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazman85 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 When i left school i went to uni to study computer and network engineering. After i graduated i started working in a local school as a IT tech but loved the networking side of things and now i work on the Railway as a Telecoms Engineer and i get to travel the county. At my company we are getting involved with some of the "newer" technologies that are still quiet old as well as some good old telecoms stuff. its very varied work as no two area are the same so keeps us busy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mephiston2k Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Work for Jaguar Land Rover in power train development. Main role is emissions testing vehicles on a 4wd Dyno. Had quite a few different jobs but seem to have got stuck here but the pay's alright to be fair.. and a move up would mean a drop too. More responsibility less money... makes sense! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaulson Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 Yeah seems like good logic that does but if you did earn more you get taxed more so you are pretty much on the same anyway ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
