Indeed I know I certainly do just as I plan on enjoying F1 2016 now it's arrivedPlaty said:You oversimplied things there, sure there are vicious defenders of games and there are people who have legit criticisms. Don't forget about the people who project hate on the game just as much as the defenders protect it.
Then there's the majority of gamers who just don't give a **** and enjoy the game for what it is and don't spend their time online arguing over every little legitimate or illegitimate complaint.

Platy said:Is F1 2016 out on this Friday?
Yes it is my copy has already been dispatched by Shopto although I'm still waiting for it hopefully I should have it tomorrow. -
Shopto I decided to go with them this year Given Game an Amazon sending me my pre-orders late in recent times seems like my change in tactics has worked.
Well luckily thanks to buying the disc version it'll only take a few minute4s to install. Once it's in my hands of course. :pHughesy said:I already have it preloaded on Steam B)

I sense another Rosberg/Hamilton type battle happening between me and Schumacher on F1 2012. :p We're both leading the championship and there's only 5 points between us after 3 races he's on 52 while I'm on 47 we've both won a race each as well. -

Yes definitely I've been having trouble all day. All my other sites are working fine but this one's been problematic all day. Annoying considering I've been trying to keep up to date with all the F1 2016 news and info. As I've been on this site a lot lately keeping tabs on all that. The last thing this site needs is problems right when they're about to release a new game. I assume they're going over their servers ready for F1 2016's launch which might be why we're experiencing problems but I don't know. -
I DID IT I only went and did it won all 19 races of the 2014 season on the 2015 game. Woo hoo

Hughesy said:Found out I really like the Sochi track, came 4th and battled with Kimi the whole race. Wasn't really a fan of the track before, but now every lap felt awesome, I was actually faster than the Mercs in the final sector with my McLaren B)
yeah I enjoy the Sochi track enjoyed it in F1 2014 as well. Sometimes is a bit of a struggle in the wet but in the dry I'm pretty handy around it -

In the race I battled with Bottas the whole race, I managed to beat him and come 4th. Before this race I was mostly battling to get into the points, so this result felt amazing.
Sounds like we're both in good form then on our championships. Racing as Hamilton in mine. Won every race so far including last nights Monaco race just made it 7 on the bounce in Canada. I'm starting to wonder whether I'll get all 19. Never done that before but it might happen the form I'm in atm.
Well that's 15 out of 15 now. Just won at Suzuka another of my bogey tracks it's already a record for me but just 4 more to go. I've got a feeling I'm going to do it. Usually I don't win more than 12 or 13 races in a season so this is special. -

Just won a race at Monaco on F1 2015 I feel so proud of myself. I've only ever won it a handful of times and all on the 2012 game. Was tough at the end though as I was pushed all the way by Rosberg and he really put a lot of pressure on me as I was trying to lap cars. -

Hughesy said:Just pre-ordered F1 16 on Steam, I wish it was out this Friday. I haven't been this excited about an F1 game since F1 2010 :D
Yeah I preordered it from Shopto so looking forward to it showing up and I have to admit I've not been this fired up about an F1 game like this since then either. Guess I now know how Hamilton's Mercedes engine feels like :p -
AMS97KRR said:I won Grid Autosport for PC some time ago now (You donated £20 to cancer research, and got entered to a prize draw, figured it was worth entering, even if I don't win it doesn't matter) and I was really surprised by how good it was, the AI are pretty feisty which I always like. CM have done some really solid racing games, which is why it annoys me so much when they release middling F1 titles. Thankfully 2016 is going to be incredible.
yeah it sounds like they're trying to up their game on the F1 series which is something I think they need to do really especially as they didn't really touch career mode at all between 2012-14 and ditched it for last year because the rest of the game wasn't ready in time to do it. But thankfully now it sounds like their about to unleash something really incredible. I just hope they can really deliver on the promise they're making based on the preview vids the youtubers have been doing it certainly looks like they will so I'm mega hyped up for this years game. So much so it's put me in a racy mood and I'm playing all my racing games. I've mostly been playing the |F1 games and the career modes I have on the go on them but I booted up Grid Autosport last night and today and done some races and was going to do some championships on Project Cars as well. But either way it's put me in the mood and I can't wait to get F1 2016 thankfully however we only need to wait another couple of weeks or so. -
yeah I saw something like that earlier as well could be a good final crack of the whip for Button as well before retiring should he decide to make that moveMBKF1 said:Anyone read this yet? http://www.formula1.com/en/latest/headlines/2016/8/f1-williams-button-2017.html
It's pretty clear to me that Felipe Massa won't be driving for Williams next year, especially after these comments. They say the team 'needs someone like Button', and to be honest I'm starting to see this happening more and more. I think Vandoorne has done enough to convince McLaren that he is the one they should pick, and for Williams, why not have Button. The sponsors love him (apparently), he's still got what it takes (look at Austria and Hockenheim in particular, two great performances), and he could be a good pairing with Bottas, the young charger.
To be honest, I think a better option for Williams would be someone like Sergio Perez, but why would Perez move from Force India? Force India seem to have just about jumped ahead of Williams now, and I wouldn't be surprised to see Force India finish ahead in the constructors at the end of the season, so why would Perez move?

Hughesy said:Started playing Dirt Rally again last night, they've made some big improvements since I last played. Feel like I lost a stone in weight from the workout it gave me :joy: I think the reason F1 16 is going in the direction it's going is because of the success of this game. Codemasters finally understand a sim can sell very very well.
yeah I think with Dirt Rally and Grid Autosport behind them I think CM are starting to realise what they can do when they put their minds together Started playing Grid Autosport myself again last night and just finished a street competition on it. Won it just but it was great fun as I really screwed myself up in the first half of the championship Autosport is pretty good fun in that area as well in that it definitely feels at least a little more sim like than the previous Grids -
Yeah I like Massa too but I just felt that Bottas is the stronger driver which is why I'm going with him for my first go. It's tough to decide which one to boot out but again maybe in a future career I'll go the other way and see what I can do up against Massa and replace Bottas in the team. I know what you mean though as I was thinking of doing a bottom of the grid to the top type career myself eventually it's just not what I've got planned for my first go. Mostly because I wanted to get to grips with the basics first. I didn't want to start with Mercedes as that would I think just make things too easy I felt But I wanted a fairly decent car that was capable of being competitive which was one of the other reasons why I'm going Williams plus I've always had a bit of a soft spot for them. Given most of my favourite drivers have raced for them at one stage or another.RevolvingPrawn said:
Actually, mind changed, I'm gonna go with 24, the day of the month I was born. Figured one of the drivers already had it but apparently not! Stick with a number though dude :p Pick one and make it yours heh.sjsharp2010 said:RevolvingPrawn said:
Either 46 or 87. I'd rather have 11 but that damn Perez already has it :psjsharp2010 said:So what number is everyone going to race with in their F1 2016 career?
What team is everyone going for? Reckon I'm gonna start with McLaren.yeah had the same problem as I wanted 5 but Vettel's got that so I'm going to go with 10 but then I might use different numbers on different careers to mix things up but for my first career on 2016 it'll be 10.
I'm planning on starting with Williams. I want to do a Nigel Mansell/Damon Hill and win with the Williams team. It t was either going to be Williams or McLaren but I'm going Williams because I went with McLaren on my first season on 2015 so decided to go the other way for 2016 and have Bottas as my teammate. I'm choosing Bottas purely because he's the stronger of the 2 drivers and I don't want to really be carrying the team on my own
I had been thinking about going Williams too, but I really wanna try bringing a team from lower down back to the front. I'd have chosen Bottas too with Williams, but with McLaren I'm kinda stuck, I like both Button and Alonso and want them both as a teammate. Gonna have to flip a coin.

Me too I miss the old track as well bombing down those forested straights at 200mph was so cool. It's one of the main reasons why I'm glad they resurrected it on the Project Cars game the new Hockenheim isn't bad but it's got nothing on the character that the monster of it's predecessor had.Hughesy said:I miss the old track so much :(

No wonder no German fans bother going anymore.

For me the track I find is my worst is Monaco in fact just had an awful race there just now.My second stint was OK but unfortunately the damage was already done as I had a bad quali anyway as I was only able tio get 17th had a bad start and fell right to the back and in trying to recover I got 2 5 second penalties for hitting the Manor cars and another 3 second one for corner cutting was tempted to park it right on my pitstop after that. :p In the end I was able to beat the Manor's but those were the only ones I beat. As for best probably Bahrain on 2015 I can pretty much thrash the AI around there. Although I'm pretty handy round Canada and Abu Dhabi as well. On the older games I'm pretty handy round Valencia but seeing as they don't race that track any more I'm not counting it. I think I'll be pretty handy around Baku on F1 2016 when it comes out though it looks like a track that suits my way of drivingRevolvingPrawn said:
Maybe we'll have to put that to the test :p I've deffo improved my pace at most circuits since we last played together ;)Hughesy said:Dave can indeed beat wheel users cough me cough lol. Mind you I have a legit racing excuse. I think the only track I can beat him at is Suzuka.
What circuits are all of you guys best and worst at would you say? I think for me Sepang is the circuit I feel bulletproof at, and Singapore is the one where I just wanna slam it into a barrier on purpose lol.

I know what you mean it is a treacherous section of forum. The Bioware site can get a bit like that sometimes as well. -
RevolvingPrawn said:Only 3 seasons on 2015?
I haven't even finished 1 on it yet :D
Recently though I've taken ABS off too, so I'm running with zero aids now and it's way more fun. Only trouble is I can finish a 25% race with a 15 second lead on Legend, so hopefully Ultimate will actually be a challenge on 2016.
Well it's a small amount for me as I've have done several in the past because between 2010 and 2011 coming out I did at least 3 7 year career modes I think. I can see myself wanting to do at least 2 or 3 10 year careers on 2016 though if it plays the way I think it's going too.

Yeah I can't touch it before it unlocks I've already tried. :p I'm just glad this disc arrived in time though especially given the last few games I've ordered from Game and Amazon arrived at least 1 day later than they should have.
Yeah there's plenty of vids on he F1 forum if anyone wants to check it over look a the New Gameplay thread.
