Alcohol sponsors Issues de

Recommended Posts

We all know that codies can't have alcoholic sponsors on the liveries due to the ratings system. In last 's nascar game they included Alcohol liveries by asking for the players their birthday in the menu. Would this be possible to do in future F1 games?

Exactly! I have suggested this some time ago, as this is all Codemasters has to do. NASCAR Heat Evolution, the first next gen NASCAR game, will also have this feature. 

Sure people can "lie" about their birthday date but that wouldn't be Codemasters fault would it? :wink: However, that most likely had to exclude countries where alcohol ads are prohibited in the real life GP...

If that was "all they had to do" then I'm sure they've considered it. But it's also quite possible that their game engine doesn't easily support multiple liveries per car per session, which they'd still need as they'd probably still want to run the Abu Dhabi grand prix with the non-alcoholic sponsors, for example.

the inclusion of a toggle won't resolve that.
They would have to do it like total war and add it as DLC afterwards. (total war allows you to add blood if you buy the DLC pack so they can get past region locks that way for showing blood)

So if codies want to sell in certain countries that is the only way, but I'm not sure if that would be worth the time and effort if only 5 people buy it (I certainly wouldn't)

My understanding is nascar games are not sold in countries that don't allow those advertisments. Countries that F1 games are certainly sold in. I imagine they cant add a option to turn on those advertisments in games sold in countries that have laws against it.
