Codemasters reveals F1 game details

[san.W10]

codeM are trying something no one has ever tried.

lets talk about that after we've experienced it ourselves.

too much realism will ruin the game, & they've to design the game for gamepad & KB.

noway i can play it w/o TC on a gamepad. +manual gearbox :p

anyways, watch this -

Hamster stalling & spinning in a baby formula car :p

[Pablo2008jedi]

Why would you say baby? Thats Fernaldos F1 championship car.....

No, he means the Formula Renault car he was in first. He stalled that a few times.

[Pablo2008jedi]

Ah, can't remember that one :p Can't watch YouTube at work so I thought he ws talking about the 8 anti-stalls :D

Does anybody know if this game will feature the crappy games for windows live stuff that is required for Dirt 2?

Why do you find "GFW - Live" crappy? Just wondering, seeing as it does it's job, and does it well.

Agreed. GFW Live is great, and it works well with Steam without getting in the way. :)

Agreed. I've never heard anyone say NFS Shift is the most realistic, but yeah, since they managed to screw up drifting, I'd call it more unrealistic than Ridge Racer. :p

Sorry to go even more off-topic, but there's so many different patches for GPL, I don't know which one to install! Meph, what's your recommendation? I'm on Windows 7 Ultimate x64. I've downloaded this one at the moment.

Sorry for the late reply, I forgot to check the thread. :blush:

The GPL Installer you've downloaded is the easiest way to take care of installing GPL and all necessary patches.

Plus the Live keys are special, if you know what I mean :whistle:

And the best part is, that with the "The Club", they gave them away for free for a while :)

[Sethos]

Plus the Live keys are special, if you know what I mean :whistle:

Yeah, special until you've tried 'em on 3 games and they key is gone.

I can?t wait for this to come out, I am going to be playing it with everything at max and I?m sure my PC will eat it for breakfast. :yes:

No doubt I will crash a lot, like I did when I first played Dirt 2, because I was looking at the scenery :D

Man, the driver in that video was terrible! But they were playing as Massa, so it's true-to-life. :p

I'm guessing almost all of the assists were turned on, as the handling looked really unrealistic.

[Nicholas-c Veteran]

anyone know if there is real damage, e.g wheels falling off etc? Only damage i have seen is front wings...

[Mike]

That video doesn't fill me with much confidence of liking this game, those cars rolled/leaned way too much for an F1 car and also look too squashed / out of proportion. The damage looks laughably bad as well :/

[MR_Candyman]

That video looks horrible! Cars look squashed, damage sucks, driving physics looks jerky and unrealistic.

[Fourjays Veteran]

The Massa at Monaco does suck. There is a good discussion about it over at the planet-f1 forums and it seems to be a case of a bad camera, bad driver, and the difficulty set to the easiest with all the aids being turned on. Here are some better ones which were posted:

Massa at Montreal (harder difficulty for sure) -

Adrian Sutil playing it at Gamescom -

Monaco with aids off -

Barcelona with aids off -

[MR_Candyman]

^those videos restore my faith in this.

[Pablo2008jedi]

What I liked with the Sutil vid was the fact he used the controller, and it looked like it played well.

[Fourjays Veteran]

Here is one of Sutil doing what appears to be a multiplayer race using the wheel setup they have at Gamescom:

[san.W10]

that was a superb drive :D

[what]

That was a great watch. Gives me confidence in the handling physics when you take off the assists.

Couple of things to say though:

- you can already see how multiplayer is going to have problems. People skipping huge parts of the track, and problems with lag in tight spots and people trying to re-enter the race

- why does he get a proper F1-style steering wheel? :p

[Pupik]

Here is one of Sutil doing what appears to be a multiplayer race using the wheel setup they have at Gamescom:

The guy wasn't driving, or the steering wheel feedback is just not there. None of the actions he performed (including switching gears) registered on the screen.

In other videos (like

) you can actually see the steering wheel react in-game accurately, while in the above he (the steering wheel) had a mind of it's own.
