F1 2010

[Skurge]

I've looking forward to this ever since Codemasters got the F1 license a few years ago.
I think its going to be awesome.

Some videos and dev diaries.

Let me know what you guys think.

Who else is looking forward to this.
I'm gonna get it on launch day.

 

[thilanliyan]

Definitely looking forward to this. Hopefully there's a hardcore sim mode.

I've been watching the progress of this game at virtualr. After seeing the Spa vid... i'm definitely sold. :awe:

FSONE2009 is the closest you'll get to this for the 2009 season for now.

 

[Skurge]

Toca Race driver 3 had a hardcore sim mode back in the day. So I'm sure they are going to have one.

This might give me a reason to buy a new wheel.

 

[yhelothar]

I love a good F1 sim.

The last F12002 made by ISI and published by EA Sports was really good. i wonder how this would stack up to it.

 

[RiDE]

F1 2002 is actually still being updated by mods. Although rfactor has taken the over... I wonder how moddable F1 2010 would be.

Is it worth bying a wheel to play this game. Oh I;m so torn I love F1 but wheels are so expensive. I may just get an Xbox controller and use that.

I know I am going to get flamed for this, but I play all racing games with a keyboard .

Just don't drive like that in real life and you'll be ok.
(Either full acceleration or slamming on the brakes.)

I've been jones'ing for a real sim style game for a long time. I love flight simulators (namely Falcon 4.0) but it seems that days of ultra-realistic flight sims is gone. Might go with this as a good alternative as I love F1.

Not to get too far OT... but yeah ultra-realistic flight sims seem dead. MS was holding up the civie end until recently... And before that there hasn't really been anything since like Falcon 4.0 or some of the Jane's games, e.g., Apache/Longbow, F/A-18, F-15.

Anyway, I just watched some of those videos, and OMG I'm now very excited for F1 2010! Racing games are fantastic. My computer sucks so I play older ones right now... but I'm looking forward to an upgrade soon so I can play DiRT2 and now this.

<3 Codemasters

Nothing that traction control and ABS can't fix

Heh, yeah. I know I am doing injustice to racing games, but I never really had any experience with a steering wheel. I'll just have to wait until I get a job to spend that kind of money on an accessory(knocks on wood).

 

[rasczak]

looks like a real blast. looking forward to it.

 

[Skurge]

Some of the game tester had a race. This is the race report.

I can't wait for this.

[The Boston Dangler]

hell yes. i've been waiting for this for a while

 

[TheUnk]

Amazon and GameStop don't show this game coming out on PC?

Developer Q&A

 

[busydude]

Q: Was it especially difficult to visualise the Korean track, which is not even complete yet?
SH: Obviously not being able to visit the Korean track to take reference photography or use previous onboard laps as an illustration presents its own challenges. We have been very fortunate to be able to work with the people that designed the track, using the same CAD data that is being used to build the actual circuit to ensure it is as authentic as possible.

The fact that people will be able to race around Korea in-game before the race itself has taken place is exciting.

:drool:

 

[Skurge]

:drool:

The drivers might get the game to practice before the race

 

[The Boston Dangler]

with the delays on the construction of the korean track, this might feature the only 2010 korean gp

 

[kuyaglen]

I hope the pc version gets equal treatment as the console versions.

 

[Skurge]

I hope the pc version gets equal treatment as the console versions.

Its gonna have DX11, cause its using and updated version of the Dirt 2 engine.

Its gonna use GFWL, so if you guys are clean racers you can add me as a friend. My gamertag is ax0n404

 

[busydude]

Yeah, heh.

Its nice to see them go the extra mile, I am very hopeful the game delivers its promise.
