I can't wait for it..... its been a LONG time since a proper F1 game is made.

Thing now is, the game is only releasing in Q4.... which means could be after or near end of the F1 season.

So if codemasters do use the cars for this season, then it'd only be a few months before we have to shell out for DLC on the new cars and rules next year....
I don't think they'd give it for free.

Wherter they release the game half a year before GT5 comes or half year after GT5 comes, it won't make much of a difference.
They're on a whole different style of racing, even if GT5 will have F1 races...


My favourite F1 game was still F1 2000 on the PS1, by EA sports lol.... that game was awesome.

I hope the game will have customizable parts to be honest.... like how real F1 cars work ya' know.
Not just the stock model from the start of the season and no changes at all to the car, that'd just be.... unreleastic.

Definitely a buy.
Very possibly this will be the best Formula 1 game ever made.

Everything sounds (atleast) very good now.
Loving the small "RPG" aspect out of the cockpit too.

Hmm...

Not having these 3 things suck.
I remember bringing out the safety car back in F1 2000.
And having the formation lap in F1 career challenge was actually a nice plus.

And finally not having a red flag means... well, you can't "cheat" your way through a win if you're leading a race and a huge accident just happened behind you.

Takes out abit of realism...
But I hope they add them in before release.

Showing off their new weather system.
It'll be spottng that brownish look when its raining (which looks ridiculous, it looks more like a hurricane is coming... ).

There will be options to have 3 laps, 10 laps, 50% race distance as well as 100% race distance.
So you don't have to worry.

You can expect damage models equivalent to that of DiRT 2 or GRID.
So yes... they'll be pretty damn good.

Yeap, its been 10 years since I last played a really, really good F1 game.
F1 2000 by EA Sports back in 2000 was still the best really.

Everyone ordering what region?

I ordered R2.
I don't know if online will be region free or not (fingers crossed), but I hope it is.

Trust me, this will be the best F1 game you'll ever play.
Yes, even better than Geoff Crammond's Grand Prix 4, hailed as the best F1 game of all time.

For average fans though, you may or may not like the career... because it can be a little bit dwindling after a few races since you have to go through practice all the time.
You can't skip practice, you can only accelerate it.

But seeing as most of us here are atleast long-time F1 fans, it shouldn't be a problem at all.

Turning off all the assists, the game is nearly sim, atleast from the driving standpoint.
If you've played GRID, take the Formula 3 classes from the game there as a concept of how F1 2010 will play like.

But even with all the assists turned on, don't expect that you can take a corner without dropping a gear or take a hairpin at 80mph, it just won't work.

For diehard F1 fans though, I suggest you turn the difficulty all the way up before starting.
The AI will really give you a sense of challenge right from the get go (until you find ways to exploit them that is).

The things like what Codemasters has said like wet patches and dry lines on the track will make a difference during the race, well... they're there, but it isn't really that noticeable.

The game is perfectly playable with all assists turned off at the hardest difficulty.

Mercedes.
To drag that drastic piece-of-trash to win the world championship.

Then don't use it la alamak...

Wait next week when there are more players on MP before judging.
Hope it stays lagless.

I know Codemasters has upgraded their servers and set a side servers just for F1 2010 (and future F1 games).
Too bad its only 12 racers online, couldn't make 24.

Sad steam user.

Yea possible, at lower resolution and lowered detail.
The great thing about the EGO engine is that it is very scalable on the PC.

Damn syok eh?
F1 engines sounds best in 5.1.
