This game is so overdue, can't wait.

This game really is overdue. I can't wait for an F1 game. I'll buy this the day it comes out. It does sound like the 2010 version may be lacking a little compared to the 2011 version, but I doubt I'll be able to wait. I'll just have to buy both, haha.

I think the last open wheel racing game I played was some indy racing game that ran on our 386 computer, so I could use a new one. laugh.gif

24 player online. Well that will be a lag hell hole...

Only if you've got a slow connection. Anything over 10Mbit should be able to handle 23 other players just fine.

Anyway, I can't wait for this game to come out in September! :)

I remember being able to play 31 other players on a 2Mbit connection, oh the joys of playing a computer game with dedicated servers :)

I'll be getting this for Pc and will invest in a wheel

Might I suggest the Logitech G25? Best racing wheel I've ever owned :)

Looks good though :)

I think the G25 is nigh on impossible to your get your hands on nowadays. The G27 is available but in the UK it's a bit steep @ ?225.

?225 for a peripheral!? That's more than the bloody consoles cost

Meh, those fanatec wheels for the 360 are even more expensive for a full set. but they're pretty hardcore.

considering it's a codemasters game you'll probably be better off with a pad than a wheel anyway. it's a long time since they knew the meaning of the word sim.

For most racing games it's stupid though, since actual racign cars, and more specifically for this thread, F1 cars, don't drive with full 270 degree lock.

I actually considered suing my tax return to buy a Fanatec, but then I decided I could drive just as well with my normal wheel, the game is just as fun. and mostly I don't bother pulling out the wheel anyway. So I bought a Traxxas Slash 4x4 Brushless, RC car instead, waaaay more fun :p

^^ True, However in the software you can change the lock to any # you want :p

The F1 game... The in-race radio sounds HORRIBLE "Great overtake!", "Your in his turbulent air you will lose front-end grip"

Yes. I know!

That limited edition Fanatec with the actual 360 backlit buttons is pure sex though. and that have that neat little folding thing to put the wheel and pedals on.

Yeah my friends one has backlit buttons which change depending on whether you're connected to a 360 or a PS3. Not sure about the folding stand though. He used some weird coffee table lol.

    • Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June game showcase schedule is packed, and with the Sony event already behind us, it's time for the next major presentation to come in swinging. Later today, Geoff Keighley will be bringing the 2026 edition of Summer Game Fest live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the Summer Game Fest showcase livestream will be kicking off at 2 PM PT | 5 PM ET | 10 PM BST later today, June 5. The jam-packed show is slated to run for about two hours, with platforms like YouTube (4K at 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, or X being available for catching it. Like in previous years, separate streams featuring American Sign Language and Descriptive Audio are available on YouTube as well. Keighley has only dropped a few teasers about what gaming fans can expect to see at the show. This includes a new look at Star Wars Zero Company from EA, a major announcement from Guild Wars developer ArenaNet, more Clutch gameplay, and some sort of Sega presence. As for fan expectations, there is hype building about a Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 reveal here, and we might see new details about announced games like Alien Isolation 2 as well. If you want even more games, keep in mind that right after the main kickoff event, the Day of the Devs showcase will begin its own festivities at 4 pm PT | 7 pm ET. This is focused entirely on upcoming indie games. Following this, the next major games showcase is slated to happen on June 7. Here, Microsoft is bringing the big guns with its Xbox Games Showcase and Gears of War E-Day Direct. Check out the full calendar for all of the June events over here.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By +samw61 · Posted

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.
