Commentary/Presentation for F1 2016

Recommended Posts

So one thing that has not been discussed, at least to my knowledge, is the commentary for this year's game. Last year Crofty and Davidson did a good job, but it was repetitive and Davidson sounded really forced. "YAY!!! I CANT WAIT TO SEE THE GRAND PRIX TODAY!" Has/will there be any information regarding the aspect of presentation for this year's game?

They will show a hotlap that uses no drs in a stupid tcam view 

What we really want to know is whats happening with mechanical failures and whats behind the magic button

^ I'm glad you decided to hijack my thread with what you're concerned about. Next time perhaps make your own thread about that. This discussion is about commentary and presentation.

Which the majority of people dont care about we all found it repetitive even you said so yourself so why would you want that in the game when thete is way cooler things they could do as i already said

Watch the fragments and run on sentences. Right so I actually agree with you about what you said earlier about the mechanical stuff, it would be great to see in the game, but this thread isn't about that. You can't just go around slamming people's topics because It may not be what you think is "cool" and not what the Royal "we" want to talk about but it's worth having a discussion about because it was a big feature added in F1 2015 and there has been no mention of it to my knowledge in F1 2016. Not to mention I'm sure others are interested on the topic, unless of course you have the data and sources to back up your claim that "a majority of F1 players don't care about the presentation of the game"

Fair point i personally didnt like the feature due to no substantial career mode. I would however like for it to be refined and incorporated with your driver been spoke about. The series tiametmarduk done on championship edition, had in race commentary which was intriquing.

Whilst I did enjoy the commentary when it showed up, it was obvious they were stiff. But stiff commentary is better than no commentary. I imagine they will have got at least one of Croft, Brundle or Davidson in this game. I hope Chandhok makes an appearance!

One thing I know will not be in the game is the opportunity to record your own commentary. Just select the quote you want to record over in the right length of time, and there you go! I'd love to have my soundbites override the pre-recorded stuff from time to time.

I found it cringey. It sounded so forced and came repetitive. Like the "Welcome to F1 2013" on f1 2013. I ended up going into the game files and deleting it.

Or in 2015, WELCOME TO [short pause] FORMULA ONE!

To me game commentary is peripheral stuff that I'm sure Codemasters can get right since it should be following F1/FIA regulated race commentary.  I'm OK with the commentary for F1 2015, but would like to suggest one improvement for F1 2016: when the guy introduces the game as "Welcome to Formula One", that needs to be amplified a bit so that it really stands out as the welcome to the pinnacle of motorsports.

Oh i can dream the lines they tell you each race, they say almost always the same.
in career mode it must be better, something more about the earlier results.
maybe even about your avatar how he did, a freshup sort of speak.

Davidson: "I think Mercedes have a good chance of taking pole today". Thanks, Ant for that insightful stuff. Would never have thought that.

And no, Bottas does not have a chance of his first win just because he's 3rd on the grid.

They're nice but they're very repetitive and...flat. If they've improved them though, great.

Same, like in Australia. "The crowd is here and here in force, todays race is gonna be full of action. But let's go down to the grid!"

What about having some female race callers,  and different nationalities like African or Asian people calling the race?
