F1 20004 Ps2

Dan Fielden · 5 Aug 2004, 16:10 (Ref:1057174)

Has anyone else got that game yet. If you are interested in f1 and have a p;aystation 2 you should buy it . The graphics are exactly like an on-bored camera on the box and it is an exciting game to play. I did a 27 lap race around Barhain in the Jaguar and came 16th and im good on these games thats how hard it is but its great fun.
Any thoughts??

There's a lot of discussion of this sort of thing in the "Armchair Enthusiast" forum.

Sorry k.B

Why are you apologising? I was trying to be helpful!

Ehi, Dan!
I've bought this game 5 days ago: exactly the same sensation as yours!

Very difficult, good graphics, especially for the shape of the bodyworks,
good light, and a very high speed feeling.

I believe we both have to modify our approach to the driving mood
if compared with old games (Gp3 or Gp4 and the EA Sports issues):
i wonder if we now finally have to drive the same the current drivers do... which is interesting. (I mean, the game seems very realistic in the driving feeling: you have to be conentrated all the time - in simulation mode, semi pro, anyway! And braking spaces are difficult to find -see Interlagos).

And I've tried the new Shangai circuit: it's wonderful! And difficult, full of points where overtaking is allowed!

I have a Logitech GT Driving Force steering wheel and the force feedback is great! The s.w. is heavy to move and you get tired in some laps!
And vibrations are connected with the engine vibes at high speed!

And you?

Dan Fielden · 5 Aug 2004, 18:25 (Ref:1057299)

Yeah its great. I have it set on a.i difficulty..(Pro)..and diffuculty semi pro and i know what you mean run wide or brake a bit early and you will lose a place. The shanghai circuit is my favourite track tho that is the 1 track i can come from the back on and win. I enjoy Bahrain but its very hard to do well on that track for me.

I just bought it today...awesome!Bahrain is really tough, and I haven't tried Shanghai yet. I like the career mode and the chance to unlock old cars....better than F1 2002's safety car feature for sure!

Kidzer · 6 Aug 2004, 11:15 (Ref:1058081)

Awesome game, although carrer mode annoys me, cant get the hang of Interlagos and its has the vortices which is great except they go on for a few meters, has anyone unlocked any of the bonus cars yet?

How?

ASCII Man · 6 Aug 2004, 11:52 (Ref:1058117)

Good game, although i can't get my head, or my car for that matter, around the newly built sections like in Catalunya or France...

Heaps better than anything EA produced for the PS2 recently, for sure!

Kidzer · 6 Aug 2004, 14:21 (Ref:1058298)

Catalunya part is very deceiving because the old track is still there with not even cones in the way!
France in no probs for me tho

Knowlesy · 6 Aug 2004, 19:11 (Ref:1058633)

I hate Bahrain, really difficult to get a rythm going. It's a poor track IMO.

I can't do Brazil either, nor Catalunya. I think they are more down to setup, because I'm on the limit and struggling to finish in the points.

Love Shanghai, quite a good track and those structures on the start straight are awesome.

Jordi · 6 Aug 2004, 20:28 (Ref:1058732)

Bahrain is just slow corners and straights, it's too stop & go. A1 Ring was a far better attempt at that.
My problem with F1 04 is that the cars are not really great in terms of graphics, compared to computer games.

Kidzer · 6 Aug 2004, 23:18 (Ref:1058891)

F1 04 also feels arcadey IMO, probabaly because i dont have a FFB Wheel (or any wheel) for PS2

ASCII Man · 7 Aug 2004, 11:47 (Ref:1059214)

I have a real dilemma...
On one hand i can use my MOMO and go quite fast but cannot use the buttons (with the exception of 'up', 'down' and 'X')
And on the other hand when i use the standard controller i go at least a full 2 seconds slower than the wheel but i can use the buttons with it...

It's just frustrating that you can't use the controller and the wheel at the same time in the races...

It's all pre-planned to make the gamer cough up some more hard earned cash to buy a bloody new wheel with every god damn new game they make!

BIGMOUTH · 7 Aug 2004, 11:55 (Ref:1059223)

XBOX is soooo much better than PS2. But I wish Sony didn't have the exclusive F1 rights!

ASCII Man · 7 Aug 2004, 11:58 (Ref:1059227)

Maybe it's because the Xbox came out much later than the PS2?

Do you own both?

luke · 7 Aug 2004, 12:16 (Ref:1059249)

The graphics are not great at all compared to f1 2002 and wheres the expert Martin Brunbell doing the commertry along side James Allen in stead whe have a stupid voice saying o'dear you have crashed?

Knowlesy · 7 Aug 2004, 14:34 (Ref:1059350)

You're obviously playing on Arcade mode then....

Dan Fielden · 12 Aug 2004, 16:37 (Ref:1064069)

Why not....they make a much better game the Electronic arts did IMVHO

Dan Fielden · 12 Aug 2004, 16:40 (Ref:1064074)

Luke if you go onto simulation and then to race weekend skip to qually and the first thing you hear will be Martin Brundle sayin "And the pit lane has just opened to begin qualyfing 1, and the next car out will be Zsolt Baumgartner" its actually good commentary!

Knowlesy · 12 Aug 2004, 19:45 (Ref:1064266)

The commentary is quite good....but I've started a full length races championship and it starts to get annoying. Martin and James run through the top 8 and all the retirements very slowly at the end of each lap.

I'm going to knock them off if they don't shut it!
