Well there's one good thing about playing a warrior in DA2 Bethany makes a great kickass mage. -

I also had the feeling last year that they underestimated the pick up rate of the next gen consoles. I was really surprised they didn't have a next gen version of F1 2014 whilst I noticed almost all my friends had switched to next gen consoles and Sony was even breaking records in sales.GentleNameMVB said:
I had a chance to visit Codies in February this year to try out DiRT Rally. During my visit I saw Lee Mather collect some next-gen dev kits from the Southam HQ. I'm pretty sure they've had other units before when developing the new engine, but I don't think they've many of them at the start of roll-out of new consoles.dirt3joe said:You have to look at when the first next gen dev kits were made available to developers. IIRC these were first made available to developers in April 2013, so it's reasonable to assume CM have had them since then. I remember at the time of release of 2013 there was some debate over whether it would be released on PS4/XB1.
I don't think he's trying to shill Pcars. He just doesn't understand where the bulk of the development work is on a game development project. It's easy in your head to say "this game has two cars and two tracks and this other one has one car and one track" therefore game 1 has 4x as much development time as game 2. In reality it's not like that at all.
Codies have admitted that they underestimated the take-up rate of the next gen consoles: PS4 and XOne. I think in the end it all comes down to the fact that the F1 dev team in Birmingham is not as big as people may think and developing a brand new engine was simply difficult and time-consuming.
So much so that the game is being approved quite late on by FOM, there is little hype generated and the game was delayed by a month.
Added to that the team didn't have enough time/resources and has made design decisions, which resulted in a lack of Career mode as we used to know it.
Time will tell whether it all pays off. I strongly believe if the core of the game: authentic and engaging handling, fluid gameplay and decent graphics, good AI and solid multiplayer is good then the word of mouth will do the marketing and the game will sell well over time.
The lack of info is quite worrying and I personally won't be buying on day 1 (I'd like to hear and read some feedback first), but I'm keeping an open mind and I do hope it turns out very well.
I'm convinced that F1 2016 will be the game we always wanted but until now I'm still not convinced this year's edition is a must buy. Like many of us I have my hands full with that other racing game. I will surely pick it up once discounted. I think it's a pity as I know CM has F1 in their hearts but they have been making a lot of wrong discisons in the last 2 years
Yeah I agree I'll likely be skipping 2015 and hoping 2016 hits the mark. I admit I'm really impessed by the graphics and all and that might be enough to encourage me to pick it up on the cheap later on in a sale or something. At full price however they can forget it though as I need better gameplay options for thatZombie said:@mmpaw37
I don't know man.. last i read this is the Formula 1 general discussing area, maybe Codies should rewrite the title to this area. it should not be limited to only Codies games. (weakness). Project Cars falls into Formula category.I sort of get what you are saying because this area is limited to only Codies games. It says so in the title category to this forum. But i think people really should be able to discuss whatever they want as long as its not stepping over the line. And its not like they are trying to shame anyone, yeah sure i test the lines all the time because im SUPER angry at Codies.
But I think they know half of the time im right, that is the only thing keeping me from getting banned in this forum. Plus my passion to get the sort of game we are all screaming for speaks for itself. These forums should be more open to ANY discussion of ANY racing game. Why not? it might even benefit them in some way getting ideas from other games (not saying Codies should be copy cats and copy every other game). But when a little poor studio like SlightlyMadStudios comes along that had to get funding from strangers and manages to be better at a game then a middle class company such as Codemasters (middle class lets say cause Codies could never compare to the big guys like Sony or EA) means they are doing "something" right. So anyway i doubt it hurts anyone to talk about Project Cars... Codies could learn a lot from them. However... your point is 100% valid.
Comparing Codies games to other's of similar ilk is fine in this section I think. However I will point out that there is both a game thread and a Pcars thread both in the Off topic section of this very forum. If you want to talk about those games specifically in a way that is not related to CM's games then in truth that's the place on here to go do it. That is if you still want to do it on here. -
I tend to sleep better when I'm not very well htan when I'm 100% though strange really but I find it helps.Hughesy said:I'm the opposite, I can't sleep at all with a headache, just watching Top Gear Africa special on Dave whilst drinking a beer.

One of the good things about living in a bungalow is I'm the only one who makes any noise. I do suffer from the odd migraine but that's really the only time I really get any headaches but usually when that happens I can just sleep through it as it only lasts a few hours still unpleasant though. Especially as they can often leave me with an upset stomach too.Hughesy said:

I agree however that's the decision they've made so I guess we'll just have to put up with it. Same as with the lack of career mode and if we don't like it don't buy it. At least that's the stance I'm taking anyway.AdamFreeman said:
Imeant to put championship mode? Think its really unfair if only pro mode has it. Since everyone will be paying the same price for the game not letting certain players have certain features because of their playing ability is ridicilous!sjsharp2010 said:
yes but only in pro mode however. This has already been stated one of the few things we do know about this game.AdamFreeman said:@LiteralZero
Will all the practice sessions be availalbe in pro mode, this is a very big deal to me

Managed to asve both Amaranthine and Vigils keep with it's upgrades very pleased with that just the smaller short DLC left and then it's onto DA2. -
Yeah I hurt my foot once at Alton Towers. I was holidaying in the area at the time haven't been back since but not the greatest holiday I ever went on but then I think that title goes to my trip to FloridaHughesy said:
This isn't quite the same, but when I was 15 I got stuck on Oblivion, just before the drop. It took 20 minutes for them to do anything about it, had to get taken off with help from the fire crew.... The staff are awful, so it doesn't surprise me something like this has happened, awful news.Juice29 said:http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-32980354 Sorry to change the subject but there's been a rollercoaster crash at Alton Towers

Attempting to save Amaranthine as a dwarven warrior is fun but hard work. I just hope Vigil's keeps upgrades hold

Can't see them moving the 2018 WC though 2022 maybe but the 2018 one will almost certainly I think stay put. So we are likely going to have to wait at least till 2026 -
FMassa93 said:
Why is it like that? How hard is to have all practice sessions in normal championship season to? Why can't we have all practice sessions just because we don't want to use the cockpit cam? Takes away career mode and can't even give us all the practice sessions again just because we want to use t-cam instead of cockpit...sjsharp2010 said:

Don't ask me ask CM they're the ones who made that decision. I merely reported what I remember reading but then it seems to me the whole 2015 game is a shambles anyway. -
yeah it looks like he's finally got the hint shame he didn' tdo this before the election though given Fifa now need to stage another one -

Indeed before long we might end up breaking the forum it's getting that many lol's :p -
Hughesy said:Surly that's a new record for the amount of LOL ratings? It almost ruined my tablet, as I read it while drinking coffee and spat it out over it. :joy:
I think that equasls the record 10 lol's think I saw 10 somewhere before though -
AMS97KRR said:Exactly. I don't think it would really be possible. How could we take 1 month or so out of the football calendar in Europe? It would disrupt leagues, cups, European competitions...I just don't see how it would work personally...Maybe the season would have to end in June, but then that might disrupt other things..
Also, it could mean that some players end up away from families at Christmas, because although it is due to end on something like the 23rd December, Christmas travel is not exactly reliable is it?in fairness though some countries leagues are still disrupted anyway we just don't see it because it's not generally our league that is disrupted in fairness. Given that for us we're in our close season then As leagues that are played during the summer still do get disrupted. So there would be disruptions somewhere regardless of when it took place. The only difference with the new dates for that is it'll be us that'll face it. A lot of the Scandinavian leagues play during the summer as do the US and Brazillian leagues. They've adjusted to having a WC in the middle of their seasons so I guess it's something we are going to have to adjust to.

yeah I managed to get all 3 games on Steam for £50 which I thought was a good deal considering how popular it is and how big the world looks as well. Includes all the DLC's for 1 and 2 as well. If it plays as good as ME or more importantly Dragon Age (which looks likely) then I would say for me it'll turn out to be money well spent.Hughesy said:Somewhat surprises me that the Witcher 3 is only 24GB, when the first game which is old is 16GB. Some good compression going on as The Witcher 3 is a much bigger game. It's only 2GB bigger than W2. The reason I'm going on about this is because I decided to reinstall the first game as I never finished it. It wasn't until the second game where I really got into it and started reading the books.

yeah if they'd ditched the interactive pit stops it would have been better as it's not the drivers job to worry about changing tyres or refuelling it's the teams. The drivre's only responsible for getting the car round the track in one piece. Everything else about F1 CE was just about perfect for what it was. I've still got the game and it's thoroughly enjoyable.FMassa93 said:
And you could even choose how to get to the top, go to a slower team as first or second driver and impress with good results. Or go earlyer to a big team as a test driver and try to get a racing seat there with impress in the tests. I loved everything about that game apart from pressing buttons on the pit, that is the teams jobs and not driver in my opinion..Juice29 said:
In F1 championship Edition there was: Podium Celebrations in career (select someone who looked like you), Formation laps, Race car evolution (Ai engineer actually helped you to set up the car by doing laps in the Friday practices), Commentary (James Allen and Martin Brundle they even talked about AI battles!), Interactive pitstops (pressing controller buttons as quickly as possible) All this was in Career Mode and on the PS3 in 2007!VirtuaIceMan said:If Codemasters are adding the often requested podium sequences, then being in the game yourself wouldn't look very realistic, as you'd end up on the podium still wearing a helmet, as they wouldn't have a 3D model of your head!
But yeah, I just don't understand why a game from 2007 on the PS3(it was even there first game on PS3) is still the F1 game with the most features.

Hughesy said:
Nope not at all, nothing like that. The truth is everyone's story will be different so I'm not sure how I've said any spoilers. He only has to choose a few different options and/or quests and his story will be different anyway. One part comes early ish in the game, so he might've made certain decisions already but hasn't paid attention ;)sjsharp2010 said:
Oh one of those types of decisions is it? Save one leave the other to the wolves :pHughesy said:Just had to choose between Triss and Yennefer in The Witcher 3, hardest gaming decision ever lol. You can have both but they screw you over later. Drank lots of beer and then chose Triss even though that goes against the books.
Oh right I was just saying that as you do get a lot of moments like that in RPG's. Like for example in ME1 where you have to save either Ashley or Kaaiden and leave the other to die in the bomb blast. There's another similar decision in DAI whjere you have to choose between the Warden and Hawke to die in the Fade while you escape in both cases so far I chose Stroud to die as I didn't have Alistair/Loghain as the warden which is possible I chose to keep my Hawke alive.Just completed the Landsmeet and declared Alistair as king. Now to dispose of the Archdemon

Yeah I think it's been moved to January/Feb time I heard on Sky sports a while back when conditions are at their coolest in that area of the world. It means all the domestic action is likely to get postponed for about a month and the football calendar that year will be in a bit of chaos but unfortunately we'll just have to put up with it I think.mike96 said:
It'll happen on December, won't it?Juice29 said:I thought Qatar was in the middle of the desert. The World Cup happens in Summer. How will the players cope?

Agreed I'd probably say a good 80/90% play the career mode. As there are still a lot of areas that don't have great internet connections so rely on the singleplayer modes to keep things going and a lot of people prefer playing SP I happen to be one of them. I can't speak for everyone and I wouldn't but I'm pretty sure the use of career mode by people was pretty high. If I had to guess I would say it's likely time constraints played a role in their decision to leave it out but I can't say for certain. All I can do is decide whether I will buy the game and the answer to that right now is no.VDV23 said:
I very much doubt that. I'm guessing they didn't have time to implement it which is actually pretty absurd considering how shallow the Career mode has been for years.nosalisCZ said:maybe they did survey and only 5% people uses career mode with their own driver :-/
this is very bad decision, you're suppose to add to the game, not remove
Just look at the most popular F1 youtuber (Tiametmarduk) and his most frequent content - he's doing Career mode.

it could but as I said I don't see either the 2018 or the 2022 hosts changing tbh.fIsince08 said:England has so many great stadiums it could be held here easily.

that's what I meant (I cant see them stripping Russia of the WC Qatar maybe but not Russia but I doubt either are likely to be changedPlaty said:Wembley is the 2nd biggest. If Russia get stripped of it then England should be hosts, I don't see Russia being stripped of it though.
Qatar on the other hand need to be stripped of the World Cup. It should be moved to Australia to keep it in the AFC.
F1 2015 No Career mode??
