F1 2014 has just unlocked on Steam B) -
People finally understanding that PC gaming isn't as expensive as some make out, yes it costs more to build a good PC but games are always cheaper o:)matt231985 said:That's all well asnd good for PC gamers. Unfortunately console gamers get charged full price for this! So glad reviewers are pointing out what we've all been saying for months.. And still no word from Codemasters.
ive loved this series and always stuck up for them, but I'm feeling a little ripped off this year. -
Yea you use the code bud, but I see you found it ;)alonsofan46 said:I think I might pick it up as well. At £20 I ain't gonna get it for much better. @Hughesy I can't find it for £20 on green man gaming ? :\ EDIT Never mind , I found it. -
Nice to see some positivity here instead of reading thread after thread of people moaning so thanks. I'll be playing it in a few hours once it unlocks on Steam o:)Spinks05 said:I thought I'd leave a quick review of my opinion having played every F1 codemasters game. Have to say I'm quite happy with F1 2014 considering people suggesting it is a 'copy & paste'.
First of all the Handling is by far the best I've every played and probably the biggest change from the previous installments. I've have found myself struggling on corners I've previously perfected and vise versa with corners I have had trouble with, but overall it seems much more responsive and feels like you have more control through the slow corners. I have also found that it is much easier to drive in Lean mix than in Fast, I spin the rear tyres up very easily while in Fast fuel mix and is quite changeling to find a balance between pace and grip.
AI are a lot more aggressive and actually battle and force you into tight spaces which is pretty cool, they differ in strategy too with regards to tyres which makes for more interesting races and again would have say the best AI codemasters have produced for an F1 game. Difficulty seems balanced, I am currently playing on Expert in a McLaren and seem to finish around 4th to 10th depending on the track and sector times match the AI around me.
Race starts are okay, to make up 2+ places you need to make sure you are in the right place, otherwise it is a gamble and you don't know where you stand till around turn 3 or 4.
Graphically there is slight improvements but the casually player probably wouldn't see the difference but we can put that down to the PS3 reaching it's limits but still the details of cars and tracks are still damn good.
There are still snags I thought would of been removed by now though. One being that when you retire or fast forward from a qualifying or practice session none of the AI seem to improve and by fast-forwarding they are actually much slower, sometimes 2-3 seconds. Pit stops are around a second slower than in real life, my pit-crew average around 3.2 to 3.8 seconds for a stop but that's not exactly a game buster. Visuals around the hud are pretty much the same a slight difference in colour and font but lay out is as it was. A few others include what most people seem to to say, steering wheels, decals of the car all of which I would expect to be solved in F1 2015 when it comes to PS4 & X-Box one.
My overall view is that obviously codemasters have spent a bit of time on this game and is the most enjoyable out the series, I am yet to race online so that could change. I am very much looking forward to seeing what codemasters can do on next gen platforms I believe it will be a much different game to any other we have sene before. -
I just blank out all the people who say stuff like "what's the point when it's the same as last year" when they haven't played it and the same people buy Fifa every year when that barely changes year on year... I love F1 and they are the main cars I love to drive in sims/games (or any single seater) so I don't care if it's not changed much, tell me what else you can buy for 20 quid and gets hundreds of hours of fun from? It costs me £3 to get a drink down the pub and that lasts minutes and when I used to go on pub crawls £20 wouldn't get me very far. o:)
And reviews are just that said persons opinion, Alien Isolation got some poor reviews and yet I think it's an awesome game. -
Last year it unlocked 11PM UK time, so between then and 12am I'd say ;) -
Just demand a refund and get it from GMG, if they refuse say you have a screen grab where it says it was instock and as it's clearly not its false advertising :pRevolvingPrawn said:FFS. CJS have worse support than what you guys experienced earlier. This is my contact with them so far...Hi there,
The page for F1 2014 implies that CJS have stock of keys for the game, yet I've now bought it and autokey is saying that it's out of stock.
Any word on when it will be in stock? I had hoped to pre-load it this evening and play once it unlocked after midnight, but it's looking like I'll be disappointed on that right?Thanks anyway, can't beat the price even if it isn't in stock.
Dave

Everything is not OK. So here's my current reply...
Unfortunately it's not been of any help.
I understand how to activate and everything else, what I'm saying is that nowhere on the page does it say the key is out of stock. And as for the delivery date it says keys will be sent out around 12-24 before the release date of the game. It's currently 4 hours until the release of the game and I don't see how I'm going to have a key when it's out of stock...This is pretty disappointing to be honest, but as I've mentioned, with the game at such a good price it's hard to complain, just being told it's out of stock before purchase would have been useful is all.Dave
Feels like the support are condescending hoo-hoo's. If I'm on their website ordering a game, sure I know what I'm doing? If I didn't would I not have bought it through Steam and not gone hunting for a better price? -
Or you could do both :p Especially if you have a nerdy partner/girlfriend o:)SASBlink said:YOU NERDS!!!! Talking about whats better, pc or consoles?
You should be talking about woman and boobs beer! like men do. :P :P -
@RevolvingPrawn I need a headstart anyway :p
btw last year it unlocked at 11PM so here's hoping it does again o:) -
No balance? :p They should do, The Evil Within unlocked at midnight after I pre-loaded it, and most other games I've preordered have too. Sometimes they might be 5 minutes late but that's no issue :)
Looks like I may not be playing tonight after all. CJS page for F1 2014 says they have stock, ordered the game, went to Autokey for my key, and apparently the game is out of stock.Har de har :p
Should've got it from GMG. Have you ordered from cjs before? Not a scam site is it, why don't you just get a refund and get it from greenmangaming?

Legend for me, the game is too easy below that! And even then in practice sessions I'm usually close to 2 seconds faster on 2013. During the race it's harder to keep them behind because they don't suffer tyre wear in the same way the player does.
Unlocks bang on midnight :)
I also had problems with tyre wear so couldn't race on legend. I'll see what I'm like with this version, but bet I'm too slow for legend unless I have the perfect setup for each track.
You are the Jenson Button of F1 2014 ;) I think it was a case of the player having 50% wear rates, while the AI had 100%. They'd still be lapping consistently while you had dropped a second or more from lack of grip. Some unsporting defence worked well to keep them behind though.LOL....
Yep I'm always moaning about my setup but the bloody team don't listen.....hehe. Let's hope Steam actually unlock it at midnight as they tend to run on "Steam time" :#Anyone know who Burgay is on Steam? As he sent me a friend request.

This could throw a spanner in the works... She doesn't like Alonso :'(
I'm now internally debating as to whether I should ask her out or not. It'd be hard to forget that she doesn't like my Nando :p -

Yea you'll be number one though :p What difficulty do you normally race on? It's probably on a higher one than me but I'm always up for a challenge. Do you know when it unlocks? Is it midnight?RevolvingPrawn said:
You could do it on 2013, but knowing CM they've probably taken it out ;) But yea sure bud, give me tonight to get used to the handling and whatnot and then I'll be good to race :) Better to be in the same team too!Hughesy said:@RevolvingPrawn I edited my post, is it possible to do a career together on F1? I've never played it online but would be awesome racing for the same team. Ps don't blame me if the game is crap. Hehe.... o:)
So Shopto lied to me..... Silly beeps losing a sale like that. Maybe they took onboard what I told them. After I cancelled it I told them that all other digital distribution stores have sent codes out so they should do the same otherwise more people will cancel and go elsewhere....sjsharp2010 said:
I've got my code now as they've just sent mine so hopefully I should be fine just need to enter it into Steam. The PC version still has Co-op on it I think at least 2013 did the only big thing they've removed is classicsHughesy said:
:p Do you want a code for F1 race Stars? It's like Mario kart, I already have it but have a spare code lol Shame we can't do a career together on F1 14 racing for the same team, as that would be awesome. Or is that possible? As I've never played it online....RevolvingPrawn said:Screw it, seeing as Hughesy and Steve are taking the plunge, I'll buy F1 today too. Only I'll get mine from CJS because they give you the code 12 hours before release so you can pre-load, plus it'll avoid even more quotes ;)
If you do that you'll get no response after 5 bud. Just post the message they sent me saying that they can confirm nobody will receive a code today, it's on the last page bud ;) They've only said that so you don't cancel....sjsharp2010 said:I'll give them till 5 pm if they don't deliver I'm cancelling

@sjsharp2010 It's up to you bud but the code works fine, so you're doing something wrong. I guarantee you won't get the code today from Shopto, they've only told you that so you don't cancel it. Quote my message if you want if you send them an email as someone is lying....lol Just copy & paste the message including the name of the person who sent that message to me "Tris" -
Try again bud as it does work, also try pressing the button next to it. Are you typing it in to the correct part? it's on the next page after you've typed your card details in. Did you copy the code I pasted? -
Are you doing it from your PC? if so once you typed it press enter on your keyboard, just copy and paste this P65PW6-F9B91D-TW2AG2 then press enter on your k/bsjsharp2010 said:

@sjsharp2010 This is how stupid they are at Shopto, they don't seem to get what a pre load is.12 minutes agoTristram Stalham posted:Hi Chris,
I can confirm that no one will receive this today as the game is not released until tomorrow.

LoL but they have cancelled it, and I got it from greenmangaming.com and received the code right away, and have it preloading now. I also got a code for F1 race stars so if anyone wants it let me know, as I already got it free with a previous F1 game.
if you do want to go to GMG let me refer you, as when you buy F1 I get £2 credit and so do you.
If you want to then let me know as I'll pm you the link you need to use to register. -
