Re: F1 2010 Impressions (PS3, 360, PC)

If anyone has the 360 or PS3 version of the game, can you tell me if you can turn the names off above the cars?

Thanks

Search this thread because it's already been posted, I know it can be done.

WoW, I didn't know there's no mechanical failures, so all the cars finish the race unless they have an accident. It's a bummer, but it's their first attempt at a F1 game, and it looks promising.....

There is mechanical failures for CPU controlled cars, but the user's car cannot not experience a mechanical failure.

I'm a huge F1 nut my game is coming in today for the PS3. When I get it I will post a very detailed review before bedtime.

I'd like to know if it possible to switch to AI cars during replays, thanks.

One of the best features of the MP, is the simple fact that you can do a private Grand Prix with as little as you and one other friend, with the rest of the field being comprised of AI drivers. So basically you can do a whole season with a friend, and AI's all online......

I know Paul said that MP was important to them, but not a focus this year. Here is to hoping that they tweak it next year, and add new options like practice mode, share a set-up, and race viewer( if you're not racing, you can view it live) just to name a few.

This game is an absolute masterpiece. I have it on the PC, with a Logitech g27 racing wheel, I7 processor, Radeon 4800 HD video card, and 6gb ram so that I can turn the graphics all the way up to Ultra without lag whatsoever. I'm not bragging just letting you know my set up. If your PC can handle it, I suggest getting it for you pc.

I've only raced a few, and I would say this game leans far towards sim as opposed to arcade. Turn off all assists, manually configure your car, and change camera to cockpit view and you have yourself a very realistic sim game. However, if you want arcade style, you can certainly turn up the driving assists, as well as do a quick set up for each race and then change the camera view.


All in all, I give it a 9.5/10.

Not silly at all. It's a way to see if the AI is scripted to run a perfect race without our interference. It appears that it is. Major fail if that is the case.

You created a situation that's NEVER going to happen ever. There's never going to be a car sitting off the track for 20 laps. Even if cars did crash, this test is pointless.

Looking forward to your review. Still on the fence for this.

Picked it up this morning. Not liking the no vehicle damage unless on expert though. Big turn off from the start. Game looks incredible on 360, no frame rate hits or anything while playing. Love the dynamic weather.

It's a fun racer, has some issues, the pit issue for instance.

I will have fun with it, but probably won't last long in my rotation unfortunately unless some issues are fixed.

It was a way to see if they would crash with each other. They don't. Test proven,. The CPU doesn't crash. Ever. The Ai is scripted. I could have just as easily stayed in last place a few car lengths behind and would have achieved the same results. Do you understand now?

You do realize that in F1 there are accidents but they are rare. It's not NASCAR and it's not Indy/Champ car.

If there's more than 3-5 accidents a race, that's one crash-laden race. If there's 3-5 per race every time out, than Codies did something wrong in their game. In last's week Bahrain GP, Hamilton went out but he was the only car to do so do to an accident. And I think he just lost a tire and wasn't able to continue.

Re: F1 2010 Impressions (PS3, 360, PC)

Why are you talking about too many accidents in the game? There are ZERO ACCIDENTS by the CPU. 100% of the time. 3 races now. Not 1 car retired for any reason in any race. Why would you defend this glaring mistake? I feel shafted out of $70. Not going to put on blinders to make it feel better. The game is lousy. Let's review.

1. Major pit problem

2. No AI Accidents

3. No user car failures

4. Horrible interface

5. No laps/time under yellow

6. No crowd sound. 100% silent all the time

7. Scripted AI

8. No damage to car unless on expert mode. 150 into a brick wall, keep on driving!

9. No option to check the leader board, ever.

3 races isn't much, how long were the races anyway? THe CPU does wreck and there's video on youtube of the CPU wrecking.

The pit problem will be patched.

There are car failures

If you're into sim racing why would you not play on expert mode anyway???

Everything else you listed is subjective.

This game looks GREAT on PS3, but I am a bit let down. If it played even half as good as it looked, we would have something huge here. It's their first attempt, so I will not hold it against them. As a pick up and play racing game that looks great, this game shines. If you want a game that mirrors F1 in real life, this game isn't going to do it for you. zoxcv is pretty spot on. Reminds me a lot of Gran Turismo. Very good looking and fun, but falls far short of the realism it strives for.

Re: F1 2010 Impressions (PS3, 360, PC)

it doesn't even have an option to select car damage separate from difficulty level.

Press enter (Obviously different on console) where you select the difficult level, then you can scroll down and change the damage (Among other things).

Re: F1 2010 Impressions (PS3, 360, PC)

Just let another 100% race go 45 minutes on expert. No wrecks or failures.

This has to be a console only thing. I did a 10% race and the caution came out twice, and when I drove by, there were pieces of car on the track. I cant imagine that there is that big of difference between the two versions though, if so, that really sucks for console racers.
