Hatta 0 Posted September 18, 2014 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRNXFhN_YlwWe can’t wait for this weekend’s race at Singapore and to witness another chapter in what has been an incredible and incident packed championship. It’s certainly been a vintage year for F1 so far. So to get you in the mood for this weekend’s night race, we’ve got a new F1 2014 hot lap video and, of course, it’s set at the Marina Bay circuit, home of the Singapore Grand Prix. Enjoy, and enjoy the race this weekend! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rayg1979 0 Posted September 18, 2014 Still no cockpit view is it really that bad? Cars with the wrong steering wheel...... erm..................skip this one me thinks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OGFedfan 0 Posted September 18, 2014 LOL at the comments so far. To me it looked a lot like 2013, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hammymansell 0 Posted September 18, 2014 Another 'Hot Lap' video with the sound bug and choppy disorientating camera direction..... It can't be that hard CM to produce a Hot lap video from on board only with one of you people there driving to show the physics model...... PLEASE DO A VIDEO LIKE THAT!!!!!

hammyfan123 0 Posted September 18, 2014 Codemasters obviously don't want to show us how the cars handle but they are trying to make us happy by incorporating more T-cam. The only problem is that whenever they show us T-cam is when the car is going in a straight line. And anyway, how can people judge how good a game will be by watching a hot lap with lots of camera changes. In my opinion you judge how good a game is until you have played it. For some people they may think that it is a modded f1 2013 but play it at a mates house (if they have it) and then think about buying the game. If you don't like it, don't buy and if you like it, buy it. Simple as that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good points there mate.... About there not being any on board as the car goes through corners....... Look here at the Red Bull Ring lap again and watch at exactly 1:00 minute and you notice as the car goes around the left hander, the steering wheel hardly turns at all, but all other shots (sidepod or TV cameras) the steering wheel turns correctly.... Could have been a bug in the game when all these hot laps were produced... Just an idea! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lr3BWWSi5oo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could have been a bug in the game when all these hot laps were produced... Just an idea! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lr3BWWSi5oo I've just been thinking about it and I think I may have the answer.Firstly, If you look at the Lotus wheel in the F1 2014 Screenshots thread, you'll notice that on the wheel to the right there is a rotary dial switch which has a green cap on the top, now...If you look at the wheel in the video, It clearly shows that the rotary switch in the same location doesn't have a green 'cap' to it. Therefore, I think I can safely assume that all of these hotlap videos were produced at a much earlier time in the build, and the wheels have been updated since then.The screenshots in the 'screenshots' thread were uploaded by Hatta himself who will have taken those with the final build, which he has.Secondly, I think we are not seeing through corner onboard footage is because it could be due to these video hotlaps are an early build, and possibly the physics could well be the 2013 car physics...? Yes mate you could be right there...... I hope the cars don't handle how they appear in the Hot lap videos, as they seem very 'neutral'........... But of course that's because it's the AI driving..... It would be great to have a 'human player' Hot lap..... Please Hatta!!!??? This game comes out in 28 days and still no build up??!!

Skye 0 Posted September 18, 2014 Anyone noticed how much the night race lighting is improved ?Check this one quick comparison pic between the F1 2014 on youtube and F1 2013 (maxed on PC, with 2014 livery mod) to see the lighting difference.http://i1061.photobucket.com/albums/t478/NytRyda/14v13night_zps27b34c8d.jpg2013 is way more grey than 2014 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VirtuaIceMan 92 Posted September 18, 2014 As for the steering wheels, I think it's been said it was a resourcing issue, i.e. they didn't have the manpower or time to do unique steering wheels for the cars this year. They're clearly focussing on F1 2015 and F1 2014 is just being put out for people who want this year's teams/drivers/tracks. Or perhaps they HAVE to put out a game each year in the contract with F1, I dunno. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Seabast318 0 Posted September 18, 2014 Interesting that CM improved the guys in the pit wall (1:57) but not the steering wheels. I'm not even sure though that the guys in the pit wall improvement will even be noticed in actual gameplay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be fair, it’s not impossible that it was easy to dump some things from their 2015 code straight into 2014, and the pit wall guys fell into that category.

For sure this Hot lap is from the PC on max settings.......... I would think on the PS3/360 versions that rhe pit wall will be the usual static sprites as always...... although i hope not!!!

erickgarci 0 Posted September 18, 2014 It's amazing how some people pay so much attention to esthetic details. When I play/race all I pay attention to is the track ahead and the position of cars in proximity. I'm most concerned about steering feel as it changes with every edition and connectivity/freezing issues. The 2014 is just a filler before the 2015 as CM has made this clear when they anounced it. So expect a 2013 with a new suit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oeicoeic 0 Posted September 19, 2014 @Hatta Why can not you boot up your copy of F1 2014 and do say 5 laps in TT mode and with cockpit view and get some one on your team to film you driving even if its a iphone copy who cares as the Community Manager you should be able to surely ...
