Then And Now: Take A Look At Monaco in F1® 2019

[CodiesBlogBot 33]

As the Monaco Grand Prix is very nearly here, we thought we’d celebrate by showing you the work we’ve been doing on the Circuit de Monaco in F1® 2019. Yes, it’s absolutely time for some Monaco Grand Prix screenshots.

We had a chat to Stuart Campbell, F1® 2019’s Art Director, about the changes that have been made to the track this year:

“After the big visual improvements across the board in F1® 2018, this year the art team has focussed on a number of circuits, including Monaco which is the flagship event in the F1® calendar. We have increased the building fidelity with higher resolution geometry and a lot of the previously textured elements now have a full geometry pass, which is perfectly demonstrated in turn one heading up to the casino. We’ve increased object placement and crowd density which provides more interest and realism and brings greater depth so the player gets a better sense of the atmosphere during the race weekend. From a surface perspective, new scan-based tarmac adds to the realism by giving better light response on the track surface. We are incredibly proud of the work the team has put in and we know our players will notice and appreciate the difference when they play F1® 2019 in a month’s time.”

You can see the work that’s been done with our side-by-side screenshots of F1® 2018 and F1® 2019 (in glorious 4K as well – make sure you click the screenshots), so you can check out the difference!
