JayPhoneix Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 So basically this is just a updated version of F1 2017? with a couple new features? and its going to be another $60 for a game that will be most likely broken, yeah no there better be more then just this.

fraggi Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 The only point that could make me buy this game is if they start support modding. Without driver transfers, new liverys every season and changing driver skills the careermode is just dull and not a bit better than 10 custom seasons. Plus modding can repair some of the fuckups like the way to low damage and bad car balancing, but not if times are just simulated from completely other files when you fast forward or simulate a session. Also: Let me watch the rest of quali when I am eliminated or the rest of the race when I DNF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamFreeman Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I hope they had customoised practise sessions for career line 2016. I like having three seassions and do not simulate as you get odd times so the ability to run half length practise with full length racing in career like in 2016 would be great.Graphics need a bum especially on console, the PC graphics on Max are decent enough just about but compared to others not very good. No major bugs from last years game, if a bug reappears from last year then oh dear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
path1337 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 My analysis about the info:"A comeback of highly requested feature" - it is not official HUD because of "comeback", i think it will be interviews.."Better career" - probably some r&d changes, more seasons, interviews, press conferences, way more cutscenes.

There's no way in hell that game engine can support VR. Maybe he's got a new game engine. I don't think VR is gonna be part of F1 2018 and to be honest, I don't think it's a problem.Why no VR ? Simply because Liberty Media will ask Codemasters to first make the base of the game really as Official as possible to make his eSport scenes one of the best. Of course Brendon Leigh wasn't as highly praised as Lewis Hamilton, but still they put and keep quite some show around it.So VR is a great and amazing thing, but in terms of the official licensing the game isn't there yet. At the same time, innovation and technology are part of the F1 DNA so... maybe in 2019, with a new game engine.Why it isn't a problem ? I think it's even a good thing. Like I mentionned, Liberty Media made an impressive step into eSport, especially compared to FIFA, NFL or NBA. Plus we're talking about a sport which had Bernie Ecclestone always saying "Social media and games are ****".This impressive step also means Liberty counts on Codemasters to deliver the real deal, the great official game F1 deserves and not just a yearly iteration, they're making a bet on the future with eSports. In terms of money, Codemasters isn't as huge as EA but look at the improvements through F1 2016 and F1 2017. Meanwhile you can read everywhere that players of FIFA complain what the game doesn't change for 3-4-5 years... Those improvements are certainly related to Liberty Media, and them wanting more and more can only mean great things for us as F1 players.nd;lr : No VR before 2019 but great counterparts to the base game thanks to Liberty Media's push on eSports.

Kairronen Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 I hope they will bring the official F1 overlay. F1 2017 was awesome with the official trackpreviews and the official F1 intro. Now it's time for a another step forward, and bring the official overlay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vincenzo19 Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Not at all excited by the usual dripfeed anouncement. The game's shaping up to be another copy and paste job (albeit with halos, a new track and likely some interviews/pressers - which will then likely have no impact on your career)....Since F1 2010, the progression through the series (in 8 years no less) has been appauling! Imagine an offical F1 game;... With no official F1 hud or presentation (that 30 sec copy n paste clip at the start of the race is a joke, lets be honest...and we all skip it)With no telemetryWith no significant tyre management or Engine management features (tyre management sims in practice are beyond dull and make very little difference to the race tyre performance // lean-standard-rich mixes...I mean c'mon, its 2018 this is kind of insulting, how can the terminology not even be consistent with real life F1)A static driver market (understandable with rights and so on)... but no F2/F3 to add more (actual) depth to the career!? no customisation across 10 years (except the horrific helmet pallets)With no team orders, are there no team orders in F1?With no realistic failures!? (Ever had de-rates? Ever lost power for a lap and had to do resets? Ever had a break-by-wire issue? Ever had to drive offline in the wet to cool intermediate tyres?If I pitched an F1 game to you all, and told you the above...nobody would buy it!Stop falling for the same old jargon. The above should be what differentiates F1 games from other racing games....sadly it seems Codemasters dont believe so.Dont worry @jennyannem @Faya ...I dont expect a reply on why these glaring ommissions are left out year after year, sadly I've come to expect radio silence where it matters.#VOTEWITHYOURWALLETS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephensmattlee Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 I’m hoping there are more ‘under the hood’ changes this year that could be why it appears like there’s not as much in the way of new features. I understand that Codemasters would want to promote new game features to sell the game to an audience, including newcomers to the series.but I really hope that as it gets closer to release there could be a lot more information on things that have changed ‘under the hood’ of this years game, such as performance, graphics, sound, bug fixes, online fixes etc (basically things that they might hold back on in the press release because they aren’t seen as substantial enough in the way of new features to the more causal audience) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator 1512marcel Posted May 17, 2018 Moderator Share Posted May 17, 2018 Despite all the understandable scepticism here, I'm still curious/hopeful they get it right this year. They should get it right after three years. Allthough, new features = new bugs. Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwin20 Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Just hoping for an in-game telemetry system. Having engineers recommend setups based on driving would be serious bonus - particularly if they could explain the reasoning behind the change.

Trans-Nation eSports Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 We need more things to do with spectating. A more refined HUD maybe even similar to what they do with Skysports where the hud is along the halo on T-Cam.Online stewarding - Where spectators become stewards and if they see a crash deemed to breach rules and the game doesn't issue a penalty, they can do it for you. More information - Tyre wear, wing damage (Can't always rely on visual shots) number of penalties (without having to go to race director) Things that allow the commentators of leagues to have more in depth race analysis during races Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lolschrauber Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 JuanCarMR said: @Faya Safety Car will be fixed in this F1 2018 game or will be broken another year???Of course I will not buy the game until the last patch will be runned and fixed the most important esport issues that will be broken at the launch. Sorry, but 8 years buying the game at launch year after year is enough. It won't be fixed. It has been broken in various ways over the years and it never really got fixed through a later patch. Unless they start a game completely from scratch, preferably with a new engine, they'll never get it working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
