[Closed] F1 2010 ... The Game... its pretty good

ooohh do like the idea of this, but if Forza is frustrating without a steering wheel, i imagine this will be a nightmare

no demo, annoyingly!

Drool, I have my copy on order from GAME.. going to see how it goes but want a force feedback wheel probably...

Would really like to try it with a good wheel and seat , think it will make a good game , better

Can't wait for this game. I have the Steering Wheel, Digital Headphones were delivered today and friday is booked off.
Stumpy, how did you manage to get it early?

Going to go for Gran Turismo 5...

pre ordered from Amazon 🙂

[i]Going to go for Gran Turismo 5[/i]

in about 10 years when it gets put back again......and again.....and again...

Play despatched mine yesterday, only bugger is I'm travelling with work until Friday so won't get to play it until then anyway!!
Can't wait though 🙂

I keep trying racing games, very few I get taken in by. The novelty wears off very quick and I start driving around the wrong was trying to cause huge pile ups.

Drac - The Burnout series are the racing games for you then, causing crashes is what you're supposed to do 🙂

I have Burnout Paradise, loved that for exactly that plus with the camera you could give people the bird after smashed them into a wall. The Americans use to scream something rotten at you for that, brits just laughed.

What wheel do people recommend for the likes of the PS3?

Love Burnout, great to just drive round crashing into cars for fun.
Plus Burnout on the PSP is even better for the crashes 😀

Got the email from Game to say my PS3 copy has been despatched so should be here for my birthday on Friday, woo-hoo!!

My pre-order from Amazon was posted today, hoping it'll be here tomorrow.
I'm a massive Forza fan, still playing Forza 3 one year on. Maybe I should get a steering wheel...?

I would love a decent racing game, but like drac I find most of them rubbish, in my life time the only racing games i have enjoyed are...

Mario Kart
TOCA & TOCA2 on the PS1 - i still think that its the best racing game I have ever played
The first few F1 games, once that hit the PS2 it was rubbish
Gran Turismo
MSR on the dreamcast which became PGR on later consoles - they were all good
Forza was ok but only with the wheel.

I've got rid of my consoles now, but could be tempted back by a good car game. Whats best at the moment?

Don't say Moto GP

Anyone playing F1 2010 on the PC? Looking to get a cheap build (probably from overclockers), just not sure what GFX card to go for - the two that I've looked at so far are the ATI 5770 (1gig) and the Nvidia GTS 250 (512Mb).

To be honest, I'll probably only play this an rFactor (and rFactor 2 if it comes out), so not too fussed if it won't play games in a few years time.

I've got an XBOX too, but my G25 wheel only works on the PC, and I love it 🙂

I have a steering wheel, but never use it 'cos there doesn't seem to be any good compact wheel stands, suitable for sitting on the sofa with. Unless anyone can point me to one of course 🙂

Playing it on PC and its pish. Lets put it this way, if you can do a fairly quick lap of Monaco with all driving aids off using keys then what does that tell you. Arcade muck I'm afraid.

Maybe that they've tuned it so it can be used with the controllers that people have? With Microprose F1GP, GP2, GP3 etc, you could go a really good speed with keys but the final couple of percent needed a joystick or wheel to get. Didn't make it any less of a sim though.

I absolutely LOVE F1, and really want this game to be the dogs, but I can't see it being as good as Forza. Hope I'm wrong as my copy is on its way.

Gran Turismo 5 on PS3 November 5th

i could list the amount of "GT5 is released on dates"....which have then been put back....but i'd run out of space 🙁

c'mon mr postie!

The online reviews all seem pretty good too but the true fanboi's are saying the experience is a little lacking in places such as no safety car or drive through penalties. I'll be getting it once the price drops a bit.

well to be honest 8 laps behind a safety car would be pretty boring and you'd be pressing the "advance time" button for that wouldn't you?

c'mon mr postie!

+1 Only thing here is that postie doesn't usually turn up til lunch time 🙁

It's pretty good you know. Although it's pish easy on anything but 'hard' difficulty

Started my season on a 'med' figuring a steep learning curve, but had pole by 1.5s and race win first time out at Bahrain in a Toro Rosso

Shoot, finally there would be something to do. Got bored of re-playing career mode on f1 championship. Need to polish up skills again for online -fight- ! No comment on GT5, think I will sell ps3 sooner than those monkeys release the game.

I recently saw a demo of the upcoming (hopefully....) GT5.

It looks A M A Z I N G!

Yep, I'm also getting really really bored waiting on it and I was thinking I'm going to be very dissapointed by it after such a long and tedious wait.... but it really does look brilliant!

5th of november!!! Can't wait

Taken forever but fek me it does look very nice, lets hope the game play is there too.

I've got an XBOX too, but my G25 wheel only works on the PC, and I love it

G25 works with PS3 too.

Here you go, I'll do it for you...

... UK / EU - No delays to release date
... Japan - Delayed end March 2010 to early November 2010
... Rest of World - No delays to release date

Hopefully will be well worth waiting for. For those that haven't seen...

Can't get video to work...

FFS I couldn't cope any more with that Italian guy blathering on, I want to hear the game not you.

You can race VW camper vans.

I'm pre-ordering.

Oh and your embedding worked fine until you messed with it.

Weird - I couldn't see it...?

Mine came yesterday, spent an age last night in practice, quali, then race at Bahrain. Cracking game, had it in hard mode and it's not very forgiving. It's not quite Forza 3 though.

Weird - I couldn't see it...?

Might be work blocks them, if your at work of course.

Looks like my pre-ordered copy hasn't turned up today 🙁

That's the one I posted back there.

😀

doing time trial - got a red bull - that chap Schumacher was pretty much in a rush around the Sakhir circuit in my opinion 1:30 seconds???? I went for the value for money and managed to eek out a lap in 2:10 secs... too many people are in a rush I say.
One critisism - put a tyre width over any rumble strips etc and your lap immediately get invalidated -WHERE IS THAT WRITTEN IN THE RULES OF F1?? cutting out a whole chicane - then yes.. one tyre over a line ... NOOOOOooo.

'Looks like my pre-ordered copy hasn't turned up today'

Where did you order it from?

Game - appantly have lots although cheaper in Argos (34:99)

Stumpy, how did you manage to get it early?

Ripped from the net (torrent site), my 360 is modded..

You are nothing more than a low-life miserable petty thief.

Tens of thousands of hours of work went into that game, and regardless of whether it's good or bad, to grab it from a torrent site and then boast about it is despicable.

No doubt you'd be the first to complain to the police if your house was broken into and your 360 was stolen...

Shaun - yeah ordered from Game, got email on Wed to say despatched but no delivery by Royal Mail today. Bit annoying as I had time to play it today but won't for the next week now (but that is coz I'm heading up to ride 7Stanes so I can wait).

forza 3 is good, but too dam easy. Unless i'm doing something wrong in free play quick race i cant set up the track i want with how many laps i want. I want to race 15 laps of silverstone, not 3, and jeez are computer cars slow

Is that because you dont have the knowledge to do it your self ??
And for your info , if the game is a keeper , like this one , i`ll go and buy the original as well, just to keep people like you quiet !

Don't be mad at him, he's spot on. No different from going into a shop and stealing it.

Yeah. Right.

i'm enjoying it, rocketdoguk if anyone wants to add me for race action!

I'm not to keen on this one, found I was being penalised when scraping the barrier in Monaco, also if you do it twice in one lap your next 2 laps are invalidated. It was easier just to jump back to the pits and start again.

SPA is awesome tho, I keep trying not to lift off in ou rouge, chuffin scares me in an armchair, hats off to the real drivers

All this fuss about GT 5 - can you damage the cars & bend panels in this version? I've never properly managed to get into a game where you can barrel into a wall at 100mph & not even bend a panel....

Yes you can damage the car.

Online is fun, standard of driving is awful, I'm cleaning up!

I've been playing this for a week now and it's........not very good.
I'm a huge F1 fan, so really wanted to like this. It's not a patch on Forza 3. It's lacking a lot, and not quite the finished product.

Lots of people complaining about the games AI. http://community.codemasters.com/forum/f1-2010-game-1316/431006-confirmed-race-ai-phoney-23.html
