I'm surprised there isn't a topic on this already...!
So, as we know, Codemasters now have the F1 liscence from Studio Liverpool and I must say, i'm now quite happy with that.
I was a little dubious at first, but actually, their attention to detail tends to be really good. My main worry is that it's using the Ego (I think?) engine that's been used for most Codey sims. It's a good engine, but I hope it isn't just a rehash of GRID/DIRT ie Has the arcadey option of rewinding etc..
There's been about 3 pictures released thus far, yet I can only seem to find 2:
Here is a list of the features:
- Online racing.
- Full weather effects.
- Both an "arcade" and "sim" version; which will include realistic laptimes.
- Customizable driver aids.
- Laser scanned tracks.
- Track surface model that will simulate rubber build up, marbles, stones, water etc. This will have both physical and graphical effects.
- Running off the drying line in the wet will give you less grip and cool your tyres.
- There will be wind and sand effects.
- The game will not be moddable.
- There will be crowd effects.
- It will be possible to spray champagne after a race victory.
So, what do we think then?
