And like I said earlier, it won't happen, because there's an official F1 game coming out next month.

They'll probably have the old Ferrari F2007 in there again, but not much else.

I'd love for them to put in some classic F1 cars. After playing Grand Prix Legends, I'd love to have some of those 1967 F1 cars in GT5. It won't happen, but it'd be nice.

Nobody cares about the F1 game coming out next month when concerned with having F1 in GT5. I don't give two hoots about EA's NASCAR game, but I get NASCAR series in GT5. Point is, we wanted F1 before go karts.

Classic F1, IRL would be great. Even some REMAX/ARCA late models from local tracks would be sweet.

Umm, I do. There hasn't been an official F1 game for nearly four years, so I'm really excited for this one.

I didn't say people didn't care about the F1 game coming out next month. I said "when concerned with having F1 in GT5". The F1 game (which I too am buying) is all great and dandy. But I don't care about that game in the GT5 discussion we are having.

It sounded like it in your last post:

Anyway, F1 2010 is the reason why GT5 won't have all of this season's F1 cars. It would impact the sales of the official game.

WRC is a bit more confusing though. I've read that the whole series has been confirmed for GT5. The only reason I could think this is happening is they know the official game is going to be bad. Well, it is Milestone developing the game, so it would be a safe bet that it'll be a bad game. They haven't made a half-decent racing game since Racing Evoluzione (known as APEX in the US) from 2003.

I'd rather GT5 didn't have F1.

Why not? One of Gran Turismo's big selling points is it has lots of variety. GT4 had everything from supercars to (non-licensed) F1 cars to tiny little hatchback, and even the first ever car! You'd never use it for more than five minutes, but it's a bit of a laugh, and there is someone out there who would use it.

We got a single F1 car in GT5 Prologue, which we all know how you got to race that. They have confirmed WRC Series and NASCAR Series in the game. But they have not shown anything related to F1. I haven't seen a single video or game demo with any F1 series in it. We want more than just one or two F1 cars. And we surely want F1 way before Mario Kart.

If you want F1, go buy the OFFICIAL game (which is turning out to look great -

).

+1/. I do too. I've been following the Codemasters F1 2010 game for over 2 years now. Can't wait to get it next month!

Not sure I follow. F1 is not made by PD. That is like saying Polyphony wouldn't release GT5 because Turn 10 has a bunch of the same cars because they don't want to impact the sales of Forza.

WRC is a bit more confusing though. I've read that the whole series has been confirmed for GT5. The only reason I could think this is happening is they know the official game is going to be bad.

No, they (developers) don't think this way.

Agreed.

To join in the F1 convo, even if I don't really care about F1 cars, but having F1 in the game would depend on getting the rights for the series/cars surely, and Sony already gave them up a couple of years ago.

So wouldn't it depend on whether PD could either get a hold of them for some cars, if Sony were willing to spend the money in the first place, or even if Codemasters have an exclusive deal or something?

Just throwing it out there.

That's some logic fail right there. Why would PD care at all how Forza sales are impacted? The FACT is F1 2010 made by Codemasters is the ONLY game with the official F1 license and as such is the reason why GT5 won't have but one or two (RBR 2010 and F2007) F1 cars.

Well, the FIA are the license holders. Naturally, they'd want the official games of their race series to sell well to increase the population of the series. Plus, they'd get more money from the sale of an official game than from the sale of a game that has just a few of their cars.

That is where I still don't follow. If GT can also license F1, why would they care about Codemasters. They licensed NASCAR, even though we have NASCAR licensed games out there already. They licensed WRC, even though we have games with licensed WRC.

There is the Ferrari racing series game, yet we get Ferrari's licensed in GT and Forza as well as SHIFT. There isn't any reason why we can't have multiple licenses, including F1. Now, if that F1 license is indeed exclusive to say, Codemasters, and GT can't obtain it, then that explains it. Forza doesn't have F1 either, so it could be a licensing issue.

I was talking about the FIA, not Milestone.

Milestone can't get it into their heads that they can't make a good racing game. Since 1995, they have created 19 racing games (WRC included), and they've only come close on two occasions: Racing Evoluzione/APEX (2003), and SCAR: Squadro Corse Alfa Romeo/Alfa Romeo Racing Italiano (2005).

You still fail. EA no longer has the NASCAR license. No one does to my knowledge, HOWEVER, PD has been given the go to include SOME NASCAR cars and drivers in GT5. It's still not a full NASCAR game which hopefully someone will make in the next year or two. As for F1, Codemasters have the official license and can therefore include EVERYTHING related to F1 in their game. PD on the other-hand can include the 2007 Ferrari and it appears the 2010 Red Bull Racing. We haven't seen anything else and I don't expect any other F1 cars to make it into the game. This is all because of licenses. Codemasters paid a good amount of money to have the F1 license so naturally they aren't going to allow PD to put more F1 cars into GT5. This is just pertaining to F1, what WRC does is up to them.

I was just throwing it out there that there might be other reasons behind a lack of possible F1 content.

It could simply be a licensing price issues, I swear I remember reading something when Sony gave up the rights that they wanted more and more money, maybe it was cheaper to go with WRC and Nascar than just F1.

Who knows, shouldn't be too long till we find out the full content of the game.

It's the FIA that care, not PD.

As for NASCAR, there hasn't been an official NASCAR game for two years (NASCAR Kart Racing on the Wii doesn't count), so no, there isn't a recent one out there.

And you're just straying off the point with the Ferraris. That's their own cars; Ferrari can do whatever they like with them. Licensing cars from an FIA racing series and cars from a manufacturer are two completely different things.

To get licensed cars from a manufacturer, you just need permission from the manufacturer (and possibly from the race series organiser if you want to put in official racing cars as well). To get licenses cars from a racing series, you need permission from the organiser, plus permission from every single manufacturer that races in the series, and sometimes, not everyone will agree to it. It's like that in football games. Some international teams (the Netherlands being a good recent example) don't have the official player names in the game because they don't agree to it.

It could simply be a licensing price issues, I swear I remember reading something when Sony gave up the rights that they wanted more and more money, maybe it was cheaper to go with WRC and Nascar than just F1.

That wouldn't be a surprise, really. Bernie Ecclestone is quite a greedy little person.

Agreed. That is what I am trying to figure out, because we wanted F1 in GT5.

Probably. It makes me wonder though, is Porsche also a license issue? We still don't have that in GT5, yet other games do.

True. We won't know really until the actual game is in our hands.

As for NASCAR, there hasn't been an official NASCAR game for two years (NASCAR Kart Racing on the Wii doesn't count), so no, there isn't a recent one out there.

Doesn't matter if there is a recent one or not, it's still a series. EA chose not to make a recent NASCAR title. They never lost their license, they just let it expire. It never really sold that well anyway.

And you're just straying off the point with the Ferraris. That's their own cars; Ferrari can do whatever they like with them. Licensing cars from an FIA racing series and cars from a manufacturer are two completely different things.

Not really. I was just pointing out that cars and series all need licenses, and MORE than one game can obtain a license for a particular car/brand/series. Not all of the are exclusive to a particular game.

To get licensed cars from a manufacturer, you just need permission from the manufacturer (and possibly from the race series organiser if you want to put in official racing cars as well). To get licenses cars from a racing series, you need permission from the organiser, plus permission from every single manufacturer that races in the series, and sometimes, not everyone will agree to it. It's like that in football games. Some international teams (the Netherlands being a good recent example) don't have the official player names in the game because they don't agree to it.

Yup, 100% aware of that. Which brings us back full circle. I would rather they had spent more time working on getting F1 in our game (if they can legally do it) then put in go karts.

Guys shut the trap, the game has more features than any other console sim racer, all your whining is worse than a day in kindergarten laugh.gif

Huh.jpg

I don't see an issue with people discussing their wishes. Yup it contains a load of stuff, but yeah I too would have loved to see some serious F1 integration in it. Highly unlikely due to the licencing though as we know.

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

      By Yogurth · Posted

      The biggest issue in this version of Win 11 context menu, from usability standpoint, is the movable row with basic commands. Think of a car analogy...if You turn the week left the infotainment screen will move right and vice versa. With how it works now Microsoft made something forbidden in designing in any UI, software or hardware. I can't grasp who were the morons within Microsoft suggesting it was a good idea and gave it a green light.
    • LibreOffice 26.2.4

      By Copernic · Posted

      LibreOffice 26.2.4 by Razvan Serea LibreOffice is the free power-packed Open Source personal productivity suite for Windows, Macintosh and Linux, that gives you six feature-rich applications for all your document production and data processing needs: Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math and Base. Support and documentation is free from our large, dedicated community of users, contributors and developers. You, too, can also get involved! Choosing Between LibreOffice Still and LibreOffice Fresh: LibreOffice Still is a good choice if you value stability, a longer support cycle, and a more conservative approach to software updates. It's suitable for businesses and organizations where reliability and compatibility are crucial. LibreOffice Fresh is ideal if you're an enthusiast or an early adopter who wants to stay on the cutting edge of LibreOffice development and is willing to accept more frequent updates and occasional minor issues. Features: Writer is the word processor inside LibreOffice. Use it for everything, from dashing off a quick letter to producing an entire book with tables of contents, embedded illustrations, bibliographies and diagrams. The while-you-type auto-completion, auto-formatting and automatic spelling checking make difficult tasks easy (but are easy to disable if you prefer). Writer is powerful enough to tackle desktop publishing tasks such as creating multi-column newsletters and brochures. The only limit is your imagination. Calc tames your numbers and helps with difficult decisions when you're weighing the alternatives. Analyze your data with Calc and then use it to present your final output. Charts and analysis tools help bring transparency to your conclusions. A fully-integrated help system makes easier work of entering complex formulas. Add data from external databases such as SQL or Oracle, then sort and filter them to produce statistical analyses. Use the graphing functions to display large number of 2D and 3D graphics from 13 categories, including line, area, bar, pie, X-Y, and net - with the dozens of variations available, you're sure to find one that suits your project. Impress is the fastest and easiest way to create effective multimedia presentations. Stunning animation and sensational special effects help you convince your audience. Create presentations that look even more professional than the standard presentations you commonly see at work. Get your collegues' and bosses' attention by creating something a little bit different. Draw lets you build diagrams and sketches from scratch. A picture is worth a thousand words, so why not try something simple with box and line diagrams? Or else go further and easily build dynamic 3D illustrations and special effects. It's as simple or as powerful as you want it to be. Base is the database front-end of the LibreOffice suite. With Base, you can seamlessly integrate into your existing database structures. Based on imported and linked tables and queries from MySQL, PostgreSQL or Microsoft Access and many other data sources, you can build powerful databases containing forms, reports, views and queries. Full integration is possible with the in-built HSQL database. Math is a simple equation editor that lets you lay-out and display your mathematical, chemical, electrical or scientific equations quickly in standard written notation. Even the most-complex calculations can be understandable when displayed correctly. E=mc2. LibreOffice also comes configured with a PDF file creator, meaning you can distribute documents that you're sure can be opened and read by users of almost any computing device or operating system.

    • Ladybird Browser is no longer accepting outside contributions thanks to AI

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Ladybird Browser is no longer accepting outside contributions thanks to AI by David Uzondu The Ladybird Browser Project has announced it will no longer accept public pull requests and will limit changes to those made by its maintainers as it works towards its first alpha release. According to Ladybird's creator Andreas Kling, this is "not a change we make lightly," but the rapid shift in AI capabilities forced their hand. Previously, a massive PR implied that the person behind it put a lot of care into the code and is ready to "answer for the consequences." Now with AI, anyone can generate a PR without even understanding the bug fix or feature they want merged. The blog post goes on to say that the team is closing all open public pull requests immediately, and that maintainers will not treat external forks as a review queue for upstream Ladybird. Instead, the team wants outside contributors to focus on reporting bugs and running tests. Kling started Ladybird back in 2019 as LibHTML, a simple HTML viewer for his hobby operating system, SerenityOS, but by September 2022, it had turned into a full-fledged browser project. What sets Ladybird apart from the likes of Google Chrome, Apple Safari, or Mozilla Firefox is its totally independent engine, which does not rely on pre-existing codebases. The project maintains a strict policy against default search engine deals or user data monetization, keeping development funded entirely by donations and sponsorships. Generative AI is forcing open source project maintainers to rethink how they handle public code contributions (and the whole open-source thing in general). One month ago, a leak about the National Health Service (NHS) suggested the organization was planning to take all of its public repositories private ahead of a May 11 deadline, thanks to Mythos (an AI model that Anthropic believes is too dangerous to be released to the public) and its ability to find and write exploits for zero-day vulnerabilities. Thankfully, the Government Digital Service (GDS) issued a counter-report titled "AI, open code and vulnerability risk in the public sector" that stopped the shutdown by pointing out that hiding code does not improve security.
