the cockpit view is fine(and the view i'll be using) but ive read/was told that the final game will have the official Formula 1 graphics for the HUD. i have yet to see it on any videos/screenshots though.

Official graphics for the HUD? What do you mean?
 
preordered. And Vettel drove best time in today's practice. Kinda surprising actually, considering that the RB isn't such a high speed optimized machine as the McLaren or the Ferrari.

You'd be surprised what a few less kg of fuel can do. They're running light to appear quick and to determine their late-race pace.. McLaren get my bet for Sunday.

I'm with you on this. I think the only thing that could prevent a Hamilton win is a technical defect or crash of some sorts. Or Button ignoring a team order :D

I agree - RBR and Ferrari were running light in FP2. I think it's McLaren's to lose this weekend.
 
I'm just hoping this game gets more support than all of their previous games, anyone remember Operation Flashpoint 2? Granted, I loved GriD and Dirt 2, and this game looks pretty damn fun (for under $40 its nice as well), but I don't want them to abandon the game 2 months after release like they did a lot of their games.

they plan on coming out with a new game each year. i believe they have a license for 7 years or so. i doubt they will be abandoning it anytime soon. :)

That's actually what has been worrying me the most: in almost every interview they have said "well yeah, this is good but next year we'll do even more."

I really don't want this to get that feature-creep syndrome that Madden has had, when you get the feeling that the team may have come up with ten great ideas to improve X features, but they only implemented half of them and kept the rest for the following year.

In all though i'm excited to get my hands on it..no doubt even if this isn't a 10/10 title, there will be mods to improve it. Codemasters wants to get it right.

Heard the developers mention in various interviews they will do 2011, have an option for 2012. Then the Concorde Agreement is up Dec 31 2012, so who knows after that.

I'm just hoping they don't pull an EA sports where any significant patch is the next release... i .e. DX11

For the 2011 version they will be using the new version of the EGO engine that Dirt3 is going to use so I have a feeling they will just bail on this years version right after release. But at least they are supporting the PC platform.
 
I wonder what the sales figures will be like for this game? Especially the PC vs console numbers, as I imagine this game will do better in Europe than America. I know in Germany PC gaming is huge, so I wonder how they would react if PC sales were considerably higher than console sales (I hope they are)?
 
if they keep the cost at $35-40 at release time every year i wont mind shelling out the dough for it. fuck a $60 console ticket though.
 
Awesome, thank you! Sounds like they were impressed. And thank god they didn't forget that it's a GAME most and for all.

I agree, I think it's important to note that they were most impressed by the balance that was struck to make it fun and enjoyable but still very true to the real thing.

This all has me excited, though I do admit the bargain bin price actually has me slightly worried..I just really hope this doesn't turn into Madden.
 
Well the thing about madden-esque updates are that they sort of par for the coarse with F1. Next season will have new tracks, new rules, new cars and most likely new drivers.

I hope though that TPTB (the powes that be) allow Codemasters to do some cool stuff. Codemasters already have the cars from last year and there are many tracks that F1 have been on in the past that haven been revisited in a long time.

How cool would it be if they had an 'F1 Legends' mode that featured classic F1 cars/teams!? I would have thought creating those different sets of physics models for the older cars would be labor intensive, but it would be *amazing* if we could have an F1 game that featured multiple eras.

Maybe that's something for the mods to take care of. For the time being I'm just happy we're getting an F1 game!!
 
Very cool. Racing in thoes front engine machines or any of the more stranger car designs. Racing on the old Monza or even on Nordeschlief(sp?).
Though my idea for a dlc or next year's title would be along the lines of:
The Ayerton Challenge
-try and match all of Ayerton Senna's 60+ pole positions. Race along a ghost car of Ayerton on all the tracks and all the cars he took pole on.

Make sure you guys keep an eye on the [H]Race On thread. We will definitely be organizing some racing over the next few weeks consistently for this game.
 
Looks nice even for Xbox 360 haha. Wonder what the AI and assist were set at, looked pretty easy in the dry to drive and he nailed Alonso and Button in one out-braking move, then "you woulda died" pass on Kubica in 130R (3:45). Looked hard to drive in the wet as it should be.
 
Thanks for the heads up about the steam preload. Very happy they chose to let steam preloading occur.

Also I hope that steering lag in the last posted video is because of the wireless wheel. I'd be pretty disapointed if it happens on a propper PC.

I think it was more the sensitivities being run not being 1:1 as well as the LCD being recorded. Guarantee there wont be any sort of noticeable lag on a proper setup.
