Hi everyone, hope you’re well and I hope if you’re living in the U.K. like me, you’re doing your best to deal with the lockdown! Just a quick one, I’m quite excited for the start of this F1 season and along with that excitement comes the excitement with the next F1 instalment. I completely understand that it hasn’t been announced yet but that doesn’t really stop us from speculating! 1. The season hasn’t started yet so do you guys think that now Imola has been added, that will be in the game? Or do you think Codemasters will say that it’s too late? the reason I ask is because the official calendar was announced not too long ago so surely this gives Codemasters time to implement it. I understand from previous interviews that they get track scans from F1 themselves. 2. Will this game be for Next Gen? The reason I ask is because when F1 2015 came out. It only came out on the PS4/ Xbox one and not the PS3/ Xbox 360 so could we be looking at a similar case? Do we think Codemasters would want to repeat this in order to take full advantage of the tech in the new consoles or due to the existing user base on last gen, will we get another Title based on the previous consoles? this is only speculative guys, would love to know your thoughts!

This is a good point. Will we get any clarification on this @BarryBL? Next gen consoles are so much more powerful so maybe it’ll be possible to get the same graphical fidelity as PC and perhaps run on ultra settings? Normally you’re really good at replying so your silence could perhaps mean something… haha 🙂

Graphics are worse than 2019. Most textures are pixelated. I will create a bug report

I have to agree. I don’t think it’s just the brightness but actually the overall graphics. They seem to have gotten worse in comparison to last year. I’m using a 4K 120hz tv so it’s not my tv, emphasised by the fact that F1 2019 still looks amazing. A lot of the textures look pixelated. I’m on the PS4 so do I have to create a bug report? @BarryBL?

Just heard the engine sounds from FP1 & FP2 and the Ferrari sounds sooooooooo realistic. Exactly the same to the game! @issueskid well done. In fact all of the engine sounds are crazy realistic! You guys are amazing. Well done

Add Tommy CM 🙂

Yeah agreed. I think it’s a bit overpowered. Aarava was able to use it for most of his new video and the whole point of CM implementing it and taking away the 2019 system was to take away the unrealistic micro management of F1 2019 but this overtake button still kind of adds that If you’re able to use it for most of the lap

Interesting that. Perez saying he couldn't turn the car. I hope with added levels of down force, they've also had a look at the understeer

Agreed, hope they don’t change it back. TRL Limitless said he’s played preview builds before that have felt good and they’ve changed it to something else when the game gets released. feedback on the handling has been positive so far so fingers crossed 🤞🏾 it’s stable.

Yeah that would be really good, I agree. It would even be good if they did something similar to when they released F1 2017 and they uploaded an 100% race video at spa in the rain by David Grecco. It would be so cool if you did that codies. I'm sure alot of fans would like that

Yeah I’ve seen the video but I meant more information about the actual game or even in depth videos from youtubers like they were doing 2 weeks ago, aarava said their builds were being updated so interested/excited to know when next we’ll get information. ive realised that as of late, Codemasters marketing strategy revolved more around giving content to youtubers as opposed to the traditional approach which to be fair I love as the youtubers go in depth on the game excited to know more

Hi guys, hope you’re all well. As it says in the title, just wanted to ask @BarryBL or any codies staff when we’re next going to hear more information on F1 2020? With quarantine, I’m sure this is one thing that a lot of us are looking forward to playing/ the game being released. I’d also Like to ask, when will the youtubers e.g aarava, TRL & Tiametmarduk be getting their updated preview builds? The reason I ask is because aarava said in one of his videos there won’t be anymore F1 2020 videos because their builds are being updated and he said once they get updated he’ll release some videos. thanks!

Fair enough mate, Never thought about that with the Williams. Just an opinion of mine anyway!

Mate, of course it’s a GAME. but them giving Merc real life downforce levels is only just as the game aspires to have car handling/ car performance as close to real life as possible. I’m not here to tell them how to do it as it’s not my job but they’ve proven to us in the past that they can get car handling right according to the teams. In F1 2010-2013. Red Bull dominated the sport and Codemasters got their handling in the game down to the tea. Did that detter people from playing the game? I don’t think so. Did AI disappear into the distance? I don’t think so. So it’s unfair for you to say that. Codemasters always come out and reiterate there commitment to making an effort to make car performance levels as close to real life. I’m just pointing out something that is quite clear to me

Yeah thank you, I thought it was only me that realised it. Don’t think it’s fair that the Mercedes isn’t given the props for being the car it is. Has one of the highest if not the highest downforce on the grid. this year we haven’t seen the actual season begin but it’ll be a fair assumption to say merc will have the car with the highest downforce. I also don’t mean to come across as such a fan boy but I am a Mercedes fan and I’d love their downforce to be replicated. Codemasters have definitely got it right before, for example from F1 2010 - F1 2013. The red bull was the most stable car so, don’t think it’s fair for them to assume that the Merc is really just power, when it’s really more downforce>Power
