F1 2010 (Codemasters)

ECW Dan Selby · 7 Oct 2009, 11:07 (Ref:2555802)

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?

47 views and not one opinion!

At first I was worried about Codemasters getting the exclusive F1 license, as I have thoroughly enjoyed Studio Liverpool's F1 series (particularly F106). But, from what I've heard, it sounds like they're doing a serious effort at making it a "sim" (eg. laser-scanned tracks, rubber build up, drying line). I just hope it doesn't come out around the same time as GT5!

Its certainly sounding like it could be a very good game, CM aren't cutting any corners with this one

Steven Humphrey · 7 Oct 2009, 15:28 (Ref:2555947)

It's out on Wii & PSP first, which is quite odd (the Wii version can come with a wheel that the remote slots into). There's some videos with Antony Davidson describing on board laps on the official website. Looks like standard F1 fare but nice to be able ti drive the new circuits (Valencia, Singapore & Abu Dahbi)

F1 09 is a completely seperate game, which tbh, is a bit of a rush-job in comparison to F1 10.

F1 09 is developed by Sumo (?) and is exclusively out on the Wii and PSP. The graphics obviously arn't much to write home about, and it overall just looks a little sketchy.

F1 2010 is by Codemasters and will be released early next year, based on the 2009 season (I believe). This is what the screenshots are from.

well from the details you have described it certainly sounds like a good game. I will get it on the XBOX 360...am looking forward to it

1) The PS3/360/PC version that is out next year will be based on the 2010 season. There will NOT be a 2009 season game for PS3/360/PC

2) Those are not screenshots, they are concept art (and are very promising looking concept art at that

)

Doh! Probably why I couldn't find the link when I searched F1 2010!!

**Spudgun** · 7 Oct 2009, 19:07 (Ref:2556105)

If they can pull off what they are quoting in that list then I would be mightily impressed!

At least they know how to make games so I hope they can do it. But the cynic in me says I'll believe when I see it!

If they even THOUGHT about doing that, I would find their offices and pay them a personal visit, perhaps with some associates and some specialist equipment

Some things should just be left alone!

ECW Dan Selby · 8 Oct 2009, 09:42 (Ref:2556494)

Good grief, I can't see how the game will be released at the "start of 2010" based on the 2010 season!

I heard elsewhere that it will be based on the 2009 season...

It wil be released mid summer, not start of 2010

ECW Dan Selby · 8 Oct 2009, 12:37 (Ref:2556605)

That would be more appropriate, then

Sorry, I must have heard this provisional date some time ago now. There's just an apparent lack of information on this project available.

ROB IS THE STIG · 9 Oct 2009, 13:28 (Ref:2557496)

I personally am really excited about a F1 game for the XB360, i have not played one since the original Playstation version (god knows how long ago that was)

Codemasters know how to make a polished game so fingers crossed for this one

Racing fans are gonna be spoilt in the next 12 months FM3, GT5 and F1 2010, i feel a year off work coming!!

FPV8U · 3 Nov 2009, 05:41 (Ref:2574661)

Really looking forward to the new F1 2010, how did you guys rate the current (if you can call it that anymore) F1 Game?

Hoping it's based on 2010 rather than 2009 as the KERS option would make it rather easy i feel, once you had your chassis set-up right that is.

marcel82 · 4 Nov 2009, 11:07 (Ref:2575528)

I found this Abu Dhabi trailer. it's for the 2009 Wii-version.
couldn't they just have sent someone to the track to check some stuff out?

ECW Dan Selby · 4 Nov 2009, 14:58 (Ref:2575655)

But technically, your car should be slower in other parts due to the KERS weight

Could be really interesting. I love the idea of using KERS on an F1 game.

shambles · 4 Nov 2009, 15:28 (Ref:2575668)

Don't forget that they could release an F1 game based on 2010 at the start of 2010, and then update the game (a la the FIFA series and the January transfer window) as driver changes; livery changes et all occur on the online marketplaces available on the consoles.

ECW Dan Selby · 13 Nov 2009, 15:08 (Ref:2581417)

They're doing that with the new MotoGP game, which is aptly named "MotoGP 09/10". I think it'd be a good idea, but saying this, I think they also want to make more money

Selby

skells22 · 1 Dec 2009, 20:11 (Ref:2592499)

i wonder how many players will be able to race online?

Well FIFA player/team updates are free. I doubt they will charge for updated liveries or driver rosters.

EBXR8 · 2 Dec 2009, 01:40 (Ref:2592617)

Is there a release date yet???

I have had a little play on the Wii F1 2009, its not bad on a par with the last f1 game that coem out on Ps2 IMO. Overall not a bad game for a system such as the Wii i expect F1 2010 on PS3 to totally destroy it however.

To my knowledge, they charge to update on the FIFA games.

And no, I still don't think there is a release date as of yet. I'm guessing they're just waiting until the cars are released, so they can then update their models.

Fox89 · 2 Dec 2009, 12:05 (Ref:2592807)

Yeah Codies are staying pretty tight lipped about this one. The fact that they outsourced the development of 2009 to Sumo and just concentrated for an extra year on the big boys version bodes well I think!

My expectations are set somewhere a bit above "GRID". To be honest GRID was loads of fun, so even if it plays like that but with shiny F1 cars I will be happy enough. If I want a simulation I can always boot up rFactor!

I am hopeful, however, that it will be significantly more.....F1-y then GRID was!

ECW Dan Selby · 2 Dec 2009, 12:24 (Ref:2592821)

Yeh this is what i'm expecting. Just a bit of a GRID rehash with some moments of simulation.

That's not to say i'm not excited, because I am

Just be nice to use all the teams/tracks.
