Haryanto or Ocon?

Recommended Posts

So as you've heard, Haryanto has been dropped from Manor. So is Ocon or Haryanto going to be represented in the game? My assumption is since it's so close, and getting new voice acting and all to commentate about Ocon will take time, that the initial release will have Haryanto. Will we get a patch later then with an update with Ocon?

Haryanto will be the driver it's too close to release to change it now. No I don't think we'll get a patch tofix that as it's not an easy fix as they'd need to scan Ocon into the game as well as update the driver roster and rerecord the lines with Crofty and Davidson and all for just for 1 driver change? Not going to happen I'm afraid. You'll need to find a mod or create one(assuming you're on PC) if you want to play with Ocon.

Oh, my bad, I didn't see that quite yet.

Yeah, this is pretty much what I was expecting.  Best case maybe I thought it might be updated down the road but like you say, to get all the body models and commentator lines, it's a big ask. These in-season driver shuffles are probably really irritating Codies!

With Kvyat and Vrestappen it wasn't a problem because in their case it was just those 2 switching teams so in their case it was likely just switch some of the recorded files round. Ocon on the other hand is a brand new driver to add  to the grid. That's the problem the fact he's new is the problem as they'd have to redo everything commentary,  face scanning just for this 1 change. They'd likely have to pay Crofty and Davidson more money to bring them back in as well so financially it's not viable either plus I don't think the F1 game sells as much as say a Fifa game does and CM's resources aren't unlimited like EA's are so in situations like this we have to be forgiving and accept the situation. If Ocon is still on the grid next year he'll be in the game so I don't think it'll be a problem then.
