I don't see anything wrong with the video of the tire puncture at all. If you've watched the Belgium Grand Prix just yesterday where Sebastian Vettel's left rear wheel ran over Sutil's front wing, the tire certainly got a puncture, but it never disintergrate/explode like you guys are saying. The tire also loosens up from the wheel hub/brake assembly just like the video shown above of the game.

I've been watching this from the background... but after reading this, it's a minor detail, however I can't see myself buying F1 2010 next year :\

-_-

Just saw the OP date.

Still interested in this, as long as Codemasters can muster up some of their passion for simulation and accuracy from the past. Dirt, although for a different market, has.. gone a little downhill. It needed its own name SEPERATE from Colin McRae, in my opinion.

The tyre puncture is impressive, its been waiting a long time to be included in a race 'sim'. It does seem slightly arbitrary though, lacking in dynamic. Simply moving in an opposite direction of steering as opposed to with grip

cant remember if this has been mentioned but has Codies released a date for this game on PC as yet?

It's coming out on the same day as the 360 and PS3 versions: September 24th. ;)

Fair point but the speed in the game appears to be far faster than Vettel was going. It's not a deal-breaker, tbf, as I won't be playing the game on full realism anyway - I'm not that hardcore :p

Any good prices of the game? Still don't know if I'll go PC, xbox or PS3 version yet...

PC won't run the game at full settings on 1028x768 resolution so wondering if I should just get a console version. Now I'm not bothered about online play for this but I am gearing (see what I did there? :shifty:) towards the PS3 as its on a bigger screen and 5.1 sound :blush:

edit: Ps3 and xbox are in different rooms.

If you want more realism from that tire puncture, go race a real car. This is a video game. rolleyes.gif

So you're saying to go buy a real F1 car then get a puncture and crash? Yeah, great idea. :rolleyes:

I saw the trailer in the cinema yesterday (by the way, Scott Pilgrim rocks) and it looks amazing - girlfriend, despite the text saying "Actual Gameplay" asked, "Is that real life?" :laugh:

Good thing she has big boobs.

You better hope she doesn't that post! :rofl:

OK, this may be a bit off-topic, but it is F1-related, and it is free:

Ferrari's releasing a free PC game very soon:

Ferrari has announced their Virtual Academy 2010, giving Formula One fans all around the globe access to a true-to-life simulation of their current Ferrari F10 Formula One race car.

The Virtual Academy will include Ferrari?s current Formula One challenger as well as three laser-scanned (!) tracks ? Fiorano, Mugello & the N?rburgring. The Academy comes with a global hotlap competition as the fastest drivers can win Ferrari merchandise every week. The five quickest drivers will even be invited to Maranello, participating in the official Ferrari Driving Academy.

The simulator does not just look pretty stunning as you can see below, Ferrari also promises a very realistic approach as the car has been designed based on official CAD data. In terms of physics, Ferrari has not cut any corners either, promising the most accurate virtual reproduction of a Ferrari F1 single-seater in computer simulation to date. Ferrari?s Formula One drivers have been heavily involved with testing the virtual car, making sure the driving dynamics and tyre behaviour is as realistic as possible.

The simulator will be using the same setups as the real-life F10, players will be able to match themselves against the top times set by Ferrari?s world class drivers. Furthermore, the simulation also includes a replay system and real-time global leader boards to track your progress.

This is stunning news as Ferrari is the first Formula One team to give sim racers access to an official simulator, the ingredients sound very promising and could provide for a new benchmark in open-wheel simulation.

Download of the Ferrari Virtual Academy will be available starting September 9th, for more visit the official website.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

      With how far Tim Apple's head has been up Trump's ass, there's no way this was done reluctantly.

      Like the article stated, it's written completely from scratch, unlike the umpteen Chromium clones. It got its start as the browser built-in to the also written-from-scratch SerenityOS.
    • CANT FIND SECURE BOOT ON BIOS

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, From looking at the screen shots in your motherboard's manual at https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/Intel 600/Manual/Intel 600 Series BIOS English/Intel 600 Series BIOS User Guide.pdf, you go to the ADVANCED option at the top of the BIOS (UEFI) menu, then select SECURITY in the list of options on the left.  From there  you can enable and set the Secure Boot mode. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
