F1 2010.

macpac26

Despite the pit stop bug I'm really enjoying the game. Only done a few career races so far but spent most of my time online last night with CM forum members.

Racing with the wheel with no aids at all is fantastic. I'm getting more confident with the handling

One thing I have to ask is about the frame rate on the reflection on the cars? is it really slow for people?

its really smooth on this version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=537OS15Z5W0
but its quite sluggish on mine, I run mine in HD as well.

One of the first things I noticed! Its bugging me how poor the PS3 version looks compared to the other platforms.

Is there anyway of seeing your best lap times on each course in career mode?

Have many people been playing sprint mode on multiplayer?

Is there a boards psn user list for F1 so we can get a bit of competition going online?

When playing sprint mode are penalties enforced at all?? The number of times a car has just run in to either the side or back of my car causing me to spin and finish last as a result is incredible. Is anybody else having this problem?? Where's the fairness??

Also does anybody know how your XP and rank is calculated?

Can someone explain pitting to me..

For several races I've been in the top 3, I have to pit and usually rejoin somewhere between 20-24th! Can't get near the front again after that!

Is there something I'm missing

Minstrel27

Do the other cars not pit also?

jamieh

Presume they do but whenever I seem to pit I come out last and gain very little places from there.

I don't modify the pit strategy, I just pit when I'm told to

The game is riddled with bugs, large thread about the game and its issues over on the racing sim forum.

May be full of bugs
But it's very addictive

Hi All

Just came across this article on eurogamer. I'm sure you've all read it but it was certainly news to me:

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2010-09-22-codemasters-already-working-on-f1-2011

"Although Hood hopes to be able to do a free title update for the game ("I'd love to be able to do that"), the yearly cycle leaves Codemasters' Birmingham studio no time to produce any additional downloadable content for F1 2010, Jeal said."

"[We have the most work to do on] Live the Life and multiplayer, just because we've had to invest that much time in the first one on the career, the meat and bones, the driving, the pit-stops, the weather," Jeal said. "We had some great ideas which have been fairly well stripped back in development for both Live the Life and multiplayer."

Hood explained that the developers will take a more focused approach on the feature set for F1 2011 to ensure the game is more consistent.
"We're saying these are the core features, these are absolutely essential, the game will hang together if we have these things in. Everything else will be considered a bonus. That's what we haven't done in '10."

Minstrel27

I read that as "Enjoy the beta for F1 2010, can't wait to see your money for F1 2011". Am I missing something?

rameire

i read that as, this is a pre release interview.
now there are bugs popping up they have to spend time to fix some of the bigger ones.
fixing them will be part of the 2011 game.

That was released on the 22nd of September.

I read that as in there won't be any DLC from the PSN Store.

I am currently enjoying this on the PC and not a bug in sight....not yet in anyway. Cant believe the console version is buggy and not the other way round. Still game looks the mutts nuts on the PC maxed out.

Dravokivich

Got this last night, played Bahrain, haven't been so gripped into a racing game since TOCA Racing Driver....

Played Barhian at 20% race distance... honestly thinking of going for over 50%...

Hate it. So many bugs, it's unreal how they released it. If something isn't done soon I'll be looking for a refund

I didn't notice any bugs myself. I don't know where are all them complaints coming from. Maybe once I have been stopped in pit stop for too long. Not a big issue.Most of the complaints are coming from the people who didn't spend to much time with this game anyway.

Its all over the net about the bugs:rolleyes:

i know it is all over the net, but there is nothing in the game that would bothem me this much to go and cry about it online

My thoughts exactly.
The bugs are there, but you can live with them..

I find the game frustrating at times - it can be very unforgiving, however with time and effort you begin to make headway against the opposition as you learn the tracks, setup the car, etc.

No matter what bugs, or steep learning curve it has - I'm 100% addictive and nothing else is getting a look since I got it on day 1.

Just bought this for the PS3, I was gonna get the Ferrari wheel for €45. Is the wheel worth it and if so, is this the one I should get. Its the only one I saw in the shop.

valleyoftheunos

I've seen that Ferrari wheel and don't rate it at all, too small and lightweight. Better to either hold on to your money or go spend a bit more and go for the Logitech GT mentioned above, IMO.

Would agree with this, got the Logitech DFGT when I got F1 and it's amazing fun and very good for the price. It is €100 in argos.

AntiRip

Quite like the game, haven't noticed any bugs on PS3.

One thing pees me off is that even though you cut a corner just a little bit or even when it gives you absolutely no advantage you get a warning or invalidated lap.

One thing that really f***ing p*SSes me off is the amount of a$$holes online that will just keep knocking you off the track and general unsportsmanlike like behavior is unreal. I've just blocked a couple of players that are just bullies.

Anyone else find this behavior online? Would love to drive with a few professional like players.

The sprint mode online is full of bashers and dicks! If ya try the GP mode there is a lot less arsehole because damage is on and the 15 min quali session usually gets rid of them, find it really hard to find a well populated lobby though!:(

Or ya could join a clan that plays F1!

I've yet to play online and I haven't played in a week or so cause I didn't have much time but I'd definitly be up for some proper racing.

But the whole bashing thing sums up exactly why it worries me that so many games are shifting their focus to online when half the people you meet are assholes. Guess it's just about finding the right people

Just been playing this today, its pretty good imo, after I learnt the Bahrain track on normal, I qualified in P1, and finished the race in P2. I find its quite unforgiving if you are driving hard, get on the power slightly hard and early with a bit of car on the curb and round you go. I don't see too much rhyme or reason to these spins, I apex the curb, get on the power hard and one time in ten I see the arse end of my car passing by. It means I have to drive at 90% during the race as the spins are too costly.

I had that problem for awhile but you just need to learn to easy onto the throttle on the way out of the corners. It gets easier after awhile but there usually a sting in the tail..........mostly on the last corner

First night on it tonight, and totally agree with you.
