Online Replays

Recommended Posts

No idea what Codies have planned for this but online replays were just implemented in DriveClub and it has opened my eyes to online races... We had a 5 lap race with 10 guys and it got pretty scrappy, this one guy (deliberately, I thought!) took me out twice under braking into a corner so I gave him the heave ho in the next turn. After looking at the replay (from his perspective) he drove a 100% clean race, it was another guy that hit him into me both times! I will take a "wait and see " approach with any future "retribution" from now on, and I sincerely hope that CM implement this into F1 2015 or at least add it in a patch (like DriveClub did). It eventually might make online racing a cleaner affair as you can confirm racing incidents;) you never know...

Pretty sure it's confirmed that we're not getting this, so we'll just have to keep guessing who hit who.... but netcode makes guessing pointless anyway, and since we're not getting dedicated servers yet, netcode is unlikely to be improved.

Now that I have seen the online replay system at work I do believe that all racing games need this feature. If it can help in lowering a gamers blood pressure then it's a health & safety factor that just can't be ignored:)

That has happened to me in other games and then I just shot that person an apology.  It usually works.

I still don't want servers. That just adds a expiration date to the game. 

Now maybe if they allowed leagues or ppl that wanted them to rent servers while leaving coop and such peer to peer. Id be for it.

Online replays are a must if you compete in leagues and is in most racing games nowadays.  Community been asking for this feature for years now and with moving to next gen I would have thought it would be in there for for 2015. 

But as we all know it's been confirmed as a no from codies.

Idk about xbox one, but ps4 records 15 minutes. I suppose if you timed it right you could save the vid while in the pits and start a new 15 mins.

Still very limited compared to proper online replays though, where you can switch between cars and camera angles at will.

This is definitely a statement from someone who doesn't play online, and who hasn't experienced the horrendous sync issues and disconnects!

If they keep their license for a while, their servers could continue to function for all past F1 201x games.  There's no reason for the game to expire. 

They could even let us run a server as per Race 07, Assetto Corsa etc.  That would be infinitely better than their atrocious P2P netcode.

They could have career mode, they could have better net code, they could add more features than they remove. 

They don't, and they wouldn't keep servers up when they could save money by closing them and make money at the same time by forcing an upgrade to the newest game. 

Your post is definitely made by someone who hasn't played many server based games. 

Just look at gran turismo. 

I was playing F1 2012 online on and off right up to the end of last month. Wouldn't have been able to do that id if it was server based.

Also note that servers don't guarantee the problems you list go away. Just look at battlefield 3-4
