Oh god, don't tell me that Civ 5, Test Drive Unlimited 2, and F1 2010, are going to be released on the same day! Jeebus, how am I going to pay for all this, download it, and play it, all at the same time!

Yeah, well I assume I'll still be engrossed in Starcraft II at that point. I think it's a good opportunity to pick up one, then get the others when you finish - that way you take advantage of the sales that come up over time.

Oh who am I kidding...I'll probably buy them day one just to try em all...
 
I'm a day one man myself. Buying a title 3 months after its release just isn't as exciting as buying it day one. I'll likely buy all three that week. Civ 5 will have to go first, and then I'd have to go with F1 2010, and then Test Drive 2.

But honestly, those are 3 of the big ones for me. We've been starved for an F1 game on the PC, and this F1 game has the potential to the best one ever.

I'm hoping for great things from Test Drive 2 as well - chiefly, I would like to see a more realistic driving mode. I loved the first title, but the handling was just a little too arcade-like for my tastes. If they get this right, I could end up spending dozens of hours just driving around doing nothing at all.
 
I need to stop listening to any information about this game, lest I go do more ridiculous preparatory rituals. Last dev diary prompted me to load up Forza 3 and paint a Dodge Charger stock car to look like the Renault R30. My friends simply didn't believe my claims that I was Robert Kubica as I zipped around Le Mans in it... They'll soon learn.

Hugely, hugely disappointing.

For me, though, this bad news makes the F1 2010 release even bigger. I pray to god that it doesn't get delayed as well.

the original release date was slated spring 2010, but it was delayed...i think f1 2010 will be coming out sept 24th for sure.
 
The license must've cost Codemasters a fortune. So really, it's kind of amazing that the PC is even getting this title. It's even more amazing that we're getting it on the same day as the console is getting it. I'm just really excited for this title, but I'm not going to rest easy until I see a release date, and we still don't have one.

what

it sept 24th! :rolleyes:

it even says it at the bottom of the article that i linked.

Note: F1 2010 launches on September 24 for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC, and is available to pre-order now on the F1 Store at Formula1.com. You can keep up to date with all the latest developments on F1 2010 on the game’s official website, www.formula1-game.com and on Facebook at www.facebook.com/formula1game.

On the official site it says “ F1 2010 is coming this September for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft®, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and PC Games For Windows®.”

And I’ve heard in the developer interviews that they will release it to coincide with the Singapore GP.

For American retailers I can find the PS3 and 360 slotted for September 21...and the only place that has the PC listed is WalMart with a placeholder date of 12/31/10.

I’m surprised Steam isn’t listing with the game 5 weeks out...hope this doesn’t indicate a PC delay.
 
Is there any indication that the PS3 version is going to look/perform worse than the X360 version so far? I'm going to need to snag a PS3 for Gran Turismo at some point and I'm thinking I might prefer F1 on a console to playing it on the PC, but I'd just as soon hold off on the PS3 purchase if F1 ends up looking significantly worse on it than the other versions.
 
There's still no release date at the US website, and like Addy said, it is kind of surprising that Steam hasn't nailed down a date. It's just a bit worrying.

I hope I'm just being paranoid... but SO many titles that were supposed to be released this fall have been pushed back to Spring of next year... the Fall lineup, across the board, is just starting to look very, very weak.

Just going by Dirt2 the demos on PS3 and 360 are really close...but the PS3 has better FFB wheel support (Logitech :p ) if that counts. PC of course is better with higher resolutions availible, DX11 support and you can crank up the AA.

I'm tempted to snag it for the PS3 or 360 but I think a modern F1 game/sim with DX11 support will be too hard to pass up...if they PC is delayed I may end up with both haha..
 
God this is going to be a nice long drink of water. The last F1 game I enjoyed was the Microprose title - it seems like a lifetime ago.

I'm still not sure how I feel about this being released on the same day as Civ 5 - which leads me to this question: Why are none of the digital distribution sites advertising this? When is this going to go up on Steam?

I'm just a little bit worried... just a little bit.

Microprose’s World Circuit is what really got me into PC sim racing, and then IndyCar Racing 2.

But yeah I can’t find a North America retailer that has the PC for pre-order...Amazon..Steam no dice. And Gamestop isn’t even listing it for consoles...

I see that Amazon UK has it for pre-order so it looks like it’s still being released when the consoles are, so that’s good I guess.
 
Hmmm, odd I just got back from gamestop and they had no pre order available for PC. Only PS3 and 360. WTF?

Well presumably the Steam tweet is enough to show that it'll be available for preorder - I just really really hope the PC version isn't going to be inexplicably delayed for whatever reason at the last moment..

same. Although my g25 is hooked up to my ps3 and PC with a switcher, so ill def buy the PS3 to bridge any delay if there is one to the PC version. Otherwise PC is the version i want on launch day.
 
I really hope they don't pull that we are adding special pc optimizations bullshit or were gonna give you guys dx 11 and special resolutions and mouse support at the last minute. All bullshit excuses when what they really should say is they don't want pc piracy to cut into any zero day console sales. Watch and see, we have seen this nonsense before. I hope I'm wrong.

This is exactly what I was thinking as well. And I also hope that you're wrong.
 
Codemasters site for the PC version does list sept 22nd as the available date. So hopefully.

lol harsh. Sutil, has gotten a lot better in the past couple years I think. Give him a better car and I think he'd be right up there with the top 6.

Now I've heard that a few times and I guess I should spend more time paying attention to him, but I feel like I've heard about him kissing barriers more than grabbing a clutch of points. Perhaps you're right, with a higher end team he'd do better - having said that, Force India is definitely making headway into the midfield so we'll see whether Adrian improves as well.

Well unlike Dirt 2, this release is time sensitive. They can't hold back F1 2010 for 3 months and then release it for PC in 2011 :D
 
I was a little bit surprised by the engine myself when I recently saw the game in action - it's just not spectacular. I'm guessing that the consoles held this game back a little. I'm glad to hear, though, that the DX 11 patch will be coming afterwards. Just release the thing on time.
