Re: F1 2010
Come on it's not to hard to add engine damage to the player car
if it is already for the KI drivers avaible but why the hell
no total loss? This is so fucking unrealistic if I can finish
all the races without getting out in any race of the season
I know nerf backed up my point but i need to set the record straight.
I did not like your reply one bit, u need to get a grip on reality imo! I not bothered about not having engine failures, like i said this is a game aimed at all consumers from arcade players who just want fun, to sim players. Yes it falls JUST out of the range of.
'Nothing better to do in your life but play games in ultra, everything must be 100 realistic even if it's a fucking game and were still in a era where not everything is 100 perfect'.
Getting to the point after the little rant, there will be achievements for this game, like with every game released on consoled,
what if one achievement was to finish 1st in every race with more than say 50% distance in a season? How long do think gamers will have to sit there if every 4-5 races even if winning comfortably your engine blows up for no reason? Starting all over again?
I'm going to say this a lot but this really isn't a priority for a 2st release. The main thing is to get the gameplay right!
Why no Formation lap? They tell us it's a simulation but then you
don't need to warm your tires and just start the race, so unrealistic.
They had this in F1 06 on the PS2, it was imo actually pointless! since you would basically always take the same amount of time to warm up no matter how hard you worked them, i really makes little difference and online, fuck that, i just want to race! Again, low priority, why waste time on this which could hamper other more critical areas?
Or for example only 1 qualification session online, what is so hard about it
Now this beggars belief! Online, do you really expect people to hang around for more than HALF AN HOUR waiting to start last in a GP because they were knocked out in the qualifying? Qualifying takes just over an hour, it's pretty exciting but nobody in their right mind will want to sit through long sessions like that!
Again, codemasters are aiming to be efficient, let's just get the servers to be consistent and get people racing, It's beer to put basic systems in, get them going then build on it!
And no safety car really sucks, they made the fantastic weather system
but it can't be important to change your strategy then and so on.
It's not hard to have a safety car, even old F1 games include it and rfactor, too.
I wanted it in too but again, I'm really not too bothered since it's not something which is basic and essential. Only ONE F1 GAME HAS EVER HAD IT! That's was F1 1999, and
tbh it was pretty poorly implemented. Yes, you got disqualified for hitting the safety car or overtaking anyone! Also it was very fast for some reason.
Like Nerf said, there are an horde or rules which need to be implemented for it to work! Like we have seen this season there are many rules and which could not only cause confusion but there could be bugs and huge exploits coming from this. Also online it's unworkable totally. We would never get a race going since there will always be idiots who cant drive and will crash every lap!
Maybe next year we will see it but i can't wait, i just want a balanced F1 game that's enjoyable online!
So basically I'm just complete surprised you haven't comprehended that starting a F1 game from pretty much scratch 2 years ago! You expect all this stuff to be in and your hating on codemasters for that?
rfactor is a good simulation, but all ISI really did was build a nice physics engine but made it 100% mod adaptable so all the saftey car stuff etc.. came in after! Also the game is built for hardcore sim players only, not for every type of racing fan! ISI is an independent company which only work for a certain filed of consumers (Ultra hardcore and some people with nothing better to do!)
Get a grip. I'm just happy were getting another F1 game for the first time in over 3 years!
I will just buy it because of the career mode but actually I was much
more excited before reading this.
Still will play rfactor with F1 mod for real online races.
Is there anywhere i can buy this game for cheap (under 5 pounds) and i can't be arsed with all that online stuff since all i hear from these sim races is you need a wheel! Can't use any assists ( i use auto gears/clutch since i use Xbox 360 controller but i turn most assists off anyway
) No way I'm wasting money on a wheel!
Angry gamers! Gotta love them!
while waiting for F1 2010
