-Clever wording Codies. "All 12 drivers and 24 teams that will START the 2011 season. Ricciardo is in and Chandkok did a race, who knows what else might happen soon. -Bahrain removed? Come on. I know it's not in the season, so I'm perfectly fine with it not being in career, but it should be choosable online and in single player races. I mean for goodness sake, they already have the track done, they would just need to give it a little spruce and pop it in. I am excited about the Indian circuit though, and Nurburgring. Will be nice to run Formula 1 cars on it without them spinning out at the last chicane all the time (yeah, I'm talking to you GT5). -Can't wait for online co-op. Already got a buddy I spent some time with 2010 in ready to compete with. Has to be same team though, which is cool though with me though. -KERS will be useful. If DRS is like real life, it will be useless or overpowered ![]() Also, a few other things: Safety car is still a work in progress. Codemasters said they will have final word on if it's in or out by Gamescon next month. The problem is not having a cutscene, but making it relatively exciting. It's one thing to regroup under the safety car, it's another to do 5-10 laps under it. That's boring. No planned DLC for 2011. Figured as much, but still hoped. The licensing is incredibly strict. I read somewhere they had a new mechanical wear put into the game. It may have to be toggled on/off like other assists/fuel/tyre wear, but essentially if you drive like a crazy person, your vehicle is slightly more likely to have a malfunctioning gearbox or something. But if you drive relatively careful it will be fine. Either way, looking forward to this iteration. Hopefully it won't be like last year and be a complete crapshoot trying to find it. Last year, it wasn't released on September 2x, it was shipped on that date. So every day I was calling all the local stores before two days later, I found ONE gamestop that had ONE copy. He held it for me and I went and got it. Felt great. And nobody else had it for another 5-7 days, so it felt even better. Last edited by Trace17; 07-27-2011 at 04:51 AM. |

I have no interest at all in online racing, every online racing game I've ever played is badly balanced so if you're new you get left behind by the opposition OR some idiot will deliberately crash into you thinking it's funny.
All I really want in the 2011 update is a podium! If I win a race I want to see the celebration! I want to see my trophy cabinet fill with virtual replicas of the real things. Surely it can't be hard in this day and age to get good face mapped drivers in the game, or even put yourself in the game using the EyeCam? As much as I love F1 I have yet to complete a season in F1 2010, so I'm not sure I will buy this game unless its front end has been overhauled and you get to stand on the podium to celebrate a victory. |

Yeah, they do, but so did GT5. It's kinda one of those things where you know they specialize in one thing (racing, physics, etc.) and faces just aren't going to look great. Kinda the opposite of LA Noire.
So anyway, some new info. There's a PS3 preview build for very few people out, but I won't go into detail about that, I think it's still under embargo. But here's what all I have found that I think isn't. -A Director mode, which seems to be during a pause menu during a race, and gives you information such as what tyres everyone is using, positions, incidents, pit stops, etc. -The bottom OSD (mph/kph, gear, etc.) isn't shown while in cockpit view, you have to use the wheel. Top OSD is still shown, from what I can tell. -Each wheel is now modeled after that car's real life wheel. So not one wheel for every car. Lastly, the supposed achievement/trophy list. I'm not sure this is final, as I read something about a challenge game mode being put in, and there's nothing there for that. There's also something for a safety car, which is, as far as we know, still up in the air.

I do like Have You Considered DIRT 3?, Is Jenson going to pass or not? and Slap on the Wrist. Definitely some good descriptions and fun trophies. I loved the comments on that article about other trophies they should have put in, like "Is it cos I black? - Play as Lewis Hamilton, crash into multiple people in a race and blame the stewards for your actions" ![]() This one might take some luck: Quote:
I'm starting to get excited about F1 2011 though, played some 2010 at Silverstone, incredibly fun track, I could probably do a full race there. Very challenging but very fun. I did a 20% last night, spun out on one of the chicanes first lap, but took Vettel with me and stopped the entire pack, only lost 2 positions, got one back, but it took me the rest of the race to chase down Hamilton. |

Of course, if you want to get a decent taste of what F1 2011 will be like, you could just get F1 2010. Of course that will set you back, so you may just have to wait and hope they have one. Have you played DiRT 3? I thought it played a lot better than DiRT 2, definitely more refined and, to me, more realistic. Obviously nowhere close to F1 2010 though. And the F1 game can be user-friendly (easy AI, assists on, etc.) and can be incredibly hardcore (with tyre wear, fuel simulation, pit strategies, full race weekend, full penalties, etc.) Hopefully they do put a demo out, 1) so people on the fence can hopefully try it out and like it and 2) so I can play it even earlier ![]() |

Here's the Dev Diary 2, in HD now without audio sync problems and annoying subtitles.
:38 to :50 is just ![]() ![]() Suspension and handling is improved, looks great, and look at the DRS and rear wing movement! And the oversteer at the end of the vids is great, here's what a dev said about it: Quote:

I do prefer they spend a lot of time on handling, suspension, etc. but I would appreciate some post-race animations. It just feels a bit awkward if it's just start-cross finish line-back to menu. Especially if you've just won the WDC. But you should see all the stuff people demand on the CM forums - formation laps, pit crews holding the boards on the pit wall, starting from the pit lane, off-throttle exhaust sounds, etc. That stuff would all be really cool to have in the game, but not at the expense of poor gameplay. But maybe one day we can have it all. Maybe. With Gamescom starting tomorrow, we should see recent build footage coming out. They don't have much time left, so it will be close to final. |

Well, I guess it's really down to the individual as to why they would pick this game up. I own the previous one, and can't wait to get my hands on this. I am a pretty big F1 fan though. But aside from that all the improvements listed and in the videos so far make this seem more than just your average yearly upgrade.

Of course, not to mention the new tyre compounds Pirelli brought out this year, and DRS & Kers. If you love F1 or love the game, it's a more polished game with a few more bells and whistles (maybe even a safety car, we don't know yet). If you're a casual fan and/or wasn't a huge fan of F1 2010 (but not because it may have been buggy), then perhaps you may want to wait. But I can't resist. One of the devs said this today: Quote:
