IanT Posted September 28, 2010 Posted September 28, 2010 Has anyone played the new F1 game? I played it at the weekend on XBox and then got it for my PC!! What a game it is!!! game play is wicked, graphics are jaw dropping!!!
laserblazer Posted September 28, 2010 Posted September 28, 2010 I threw my steering wheel across the room in disgust and knackered it
IanT Posted September 28, 2010 Author Posted September 28, 2010 haha..................I use the good old classic keyboard!!
Hightower Posted September 28, 2010 Posted September 28, 2010 Fancied it when doing the food shop last night, but I can't justify pulling out £40 at the minute for a game. Perhaps wait until Xmas and get a pre-owned one.
DAZZD88 Posted September 28, 2010 Posted September 28, 2010 I want it but as Hightower implied, £36+ is bloomin expensive. Hope it isn't a let down like MotoGP 08 was all those months ago.
pscott Posted September 28, 2010 Posted September 28, 2010 Excellent game. Physics are a complete load of tosh - but plays very well, looks amazing! Just a shame the flag rules are ridiculous
DAZZD88 Posted September 28, 2010 Posted September 28, 2010 Just a shame the flag rules are ridiculous How so? If they're really bad then it might put me off but if it's just because of realism and strict adherence to the rules then I might till get it.
pscott Posted September 28, 2010 Posted September 28, 2010 ah no - it's the fact if you go in too hot into a corner and they come back inside and they clip you, you get a 10 second penalty, or in a crash involving 8 cars, you make contact with anyone and you will get a penalty.... As long as you steer clear of everyone else, it's fine (Codemasters are apparently working on a patch though)
DAZZD88 Posted September 28, 2010 Posted September 28, 2010 Hmmm...I do think that is maybe a little daft but I'm still intrigued.
pscott Posted September 28, 2010 Posted September 28, 2010 If you like F1, it is still the best F1 game by far - and it does look amazing! I haven't given multiplayer a go yet though, and I need to, as FIFA out soon which will suck up all my time!
AyatollahPies Posted September 28, 2010 Posted September 28, 2010 Are you able to drive the wrong way around circuits, with Alonso and Schumacher in your sights and smash into them? If not, I ain't interested. Oh for the glory days of the mid 90's and Nascar and IndyCar from Papyrus.
sted Posted September 28, 2010 Posted September 28, 2010 Got it yesterday (360 incase it matters i cba with games on my pc too much like work) My main annoyance so far is i wish it had a suggested gear for corners as the first race it throws you into is bahrain and its not a course i know well unlike say suzuka/hockenheim/monza etc so its a steep learning curve. I have managed to qualify my virgin car 10th but i just dont seem to be able to complete 10 laps i keep spinning out in sector 2 usually getting hacked off and restarting lol. its certainly a pretty game though but i have to agree on the flags i got a drivethrough penalty in a race for a minor bump and a 5 place grid drop once in practice. 2003 season was the best nascar game! hmm turn left followed by turn left repeat till bored lol
pscott Posted September 28, 2010 Posted September 28, 2010 hmm turn left followed by turn left repeat till bored lol It's a bit more involved than that when you have 64 people online racing!
IanT Posted September 28, 2010 Author Posted September 28, 2010 The penalty stuff is a joke on the game I must admit! also I dont know if anyone has noticed the pit stops!!! if you in lets say 9th.............u go in for a pit stop and you sit there for a good 15 seconds before you are allowed to go and you end up in last!!! this has happened many times!!!

Had hours of fun doing that. Much more fun than having to worry about beating people and slowing down for corners. :-)
AyatollahPies Posted September 28, 2010 Posted September 28, 2010 Lol, so you used to drive the wrong way around Laguna Seca and cause massive pile-ups too then! Ah, Laguna Seca. That brings back fond memories. The other great thing about Nascar was the custom paint jobs you could do. Suffice to say I made my Nascar appear to look just like KIT from Knight Rider. Well, I guess I know what I shall be playing tonight, if I can find it. Might even create a car with the Edugeek logo on it.
Nikthomas Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 It is a great game but completely full of bugs, taken from maxconsole... •AI drivers not pitting at all in a race, or too many times. •Times that are pre-determined by cpu in qualifying rounds don't relate to actual race pace set by ai in the race itself. •Pit lane exit/entry lines can be passed over without penalty during a race. •Fuel Sim Mode has little or no effect on AI drivers. •Random lockups and game freezes, notably during any interaction with the Live Dashboard on Xbox 360 / XMB on PS3. •Race results not actually being shown accurately for the proper race itself. •AI cars unaffected by weather conditions even in rain on slicks. •Pit Limited on regardless of setting.
