Montreal F1 2015 Screenshots

Well based off their previous effort, then no I don't think they would fix it. The whole fiasco with the Pad vs Wheel with the traction control, never being patched, and also the fact that on F1 2014 it's near impossible to lock up your brakes. There was never a patch for that game. This is the basis of my argument, based on Codemaster's recent entries, there isn't enough confidence to warrant a pre-order.

why do people not mention this more? look i'l be honest I was dumb enough to think codies would be up to date and release 2014 on ps4 so fortunately I never purchased F1 2014 or ever played it but I saw on here how little support there was. why would gamers build a community around a games company and support them in many ways when they cant give those gamers the one thing they desire most? game support! all in all most "normal" gamers can live with a game being released with a few bugs/glitches as long as the designers are working on patches etc to fix these things.

I for one am very impressed with what codies are doing with dirt rally, its really engaging that community. I think simply mad studios have set a new bar concerning games development and I am excited yet anticipant to see if codemasters can keep up with the pace. My fear for codemasters is that they alienated much of the community that was built on the old forums and it will be hard for them to rebuild it to where it was. Maybe an F1 game that was opened up to early access might do it?

I think the whole concept they have, whether its the license or the crazy 1 year development cycle, has to change. If I worked at codies i'd push and push for something like this, every 2 years there would be a physical release, lets say March 2016, F1 2016 is released the game starts off with pre season testing in Bahrain/jerez, the test would be mandatory when you start the game, it would simulate a proper test. the engineer would explain things about the setup of the car, rules and regs, displays etc etc. the cars would be based on the first real life test appearance and updated after first grand prix, dlc would be offered for classic cars/circuits, helmet packs, custom test liveries (testing would be more encouraged throughout the game), driver suit packs etc. official championship events with prizes run through a new forum with racenet connected and updated. Game would be updated via online patch for the pace of the cars and the cars would get upgrades in real time and not just in a career mode. Different aero packages at certain grand prix again would be updated as the appear in real life. End of season patch to finalise the pace, constructors standings etc as game would mimic a real life season using micro updates throughout the whole season to make sure its as close to whats happening in real life as possible. Patches for multiplayer and general bug fixing would continue until the next big update in February/March for new testing liveries, team updates, driver updates etc then a continuation of that update/dlc process until a new game is ready in March 2018 with updated engine, graphics etc etc etc

Also, about the wheels and stuff: did u realize that the screenshots are not "Work in Progress" anymore?So I guess that's it: no placeholders.What is on the screenshots is the final stuff..

Final day one stuff, yes, probably. But we've already been promised car updates throughout the season, so will just have to wait and see.

I remember, I think it was f1 2011 when they promised to update all the later tracks to the correct drs detection points. That worked well didn't it.

Also this bit I don't get
"The 2015 content on disc at launch will be based on the winter test/pre-season liveries as revealed by the teams before the season started"
As far as i'm concerned the only winter test/pre-season livery was the camo-redbull, so how come if these are WIP shots the redbull has the correct 2015 livery?

Do we know if they've removed that thing where the game slows you down if you go off track?

Absolutely hated that when they introduced it in 2012. I can see the necessity for it on online multiplayer, but not for single player offline.

True, but everything's moved on a bit since then. In those days developers had to pay Sony and MS thousands  just to release a console patch (after the first one, anyway), and they may just have decided it wasn't worth it. Nowadays they don't, and gamers practically demand regular bugfix and feature updates for full price titles.

In response to claims that the graphics aren't what people were expecting for next gen....
think back to the early games on the 360!
they looked awful in comparison to the later years. The new consoles are only in their infancy. Think of how good they'll look in 3-4 years time!

Good point - no need to buy now when I can wait to buy in 3-4 years when/if they catch up.

(And if history is any indicator, in 3-4 years, they may still be 3-4 years behind everyone else.)

When I pay full retail price for a new game, I shouldn't be buying a demo to put a down payment on funding the development of a future game at the expense of quality & support for the current game.

...There was never a patch for that game...

why do people not mention this more?...

Game companies thrive on the short memories & insatiable appetites of neophiliacs.

...That, and the fact that the audience is always turning over as age groups cycle in & out.

How else could a company keep (dubiously) saying "it'll be better next time" and actually have anyone believe it?

Everything you're implying is pure conjecture. Negative, baseless opinion at best. The logic of Codemasters not providing more info equaling pure fail does not follow and is therefore a fallacy. By the way you must be a blast at parties...

Theres always that one guy on a forum who argues his opinion by cracking out a thesaurus!

Or just utilizing his college education? I'll take that as a compliment though..

Look everyone, I didn't come here to ruffle features or troll anyone. Unlike many of you I actually am a big fan of Codemasters' F1 series and when I came to their forums for the first time I was just taken aback by the absolute negativity, lack of respect, and entitlement that was on display in nearly every thread. And it's really no surprise their team isn't more involved here - I know I wouldn't be if I worked for Codemasters... Just sayin'

I get that Codemasters may not be delivering the titles to your expectations or high level of standards. I even wish there were a few more sim-like features like full pit lane freedom, formation laps, etc. but that's just not a part of their strategy, and from the looks of it the naysayers are not a part of their so-called core consumer audience so I don't imagine any of your complaints will ever be heard - at least not on your timetable. Perhaps you have to own your own company to appreciate their decisions but they go where the money is (and rightly so) and will only slightly deviate from any strategy that doesn't make them the most of it. So it makes sense they only try small things here and there with each release. Take out features that many of you liked. Add some that nobody seemed to ask for. But it's likely that that is because they know who buys their games and that consumer profile comes first.

So if you think complaining is for a good cause and a good use of your time, by all means continue, I just personally think that it might not get you anywhere. Someone responded to me before saying that this has gone on for the last 5 games, so it just seems to me it's all an exercise in futility - but hey what do I know, I'm new here...

You are a troll... or you just are talking straight outta your ass. Everything you said is wrong, our negativity is not based on opinion, its based on half a decade of facts. Please stop lying. Codemasters have always put in the back of the Formula 1 boxes this is a SIMULATOR.  So to say that is not there strategy is pure bull shit. 

I get it your a fan boy... but stop defending them without any facts. Also i don't know here you get your facts but F1 2014 was one of the lowest in sales out of the entire franchise.. and the core consumer base.. was us. They have no idea how to do private relations... the first year Codemasters said there core consumer based where regular players. Again they where wrong... 5 years later 70% of there consumer base is none casual hardcore sim players. LOL what a joke.

And to say the least Codemasters games have never had any positive feedback since day one... some have even given up and left this place out of pure frustration from the bad products Codies have released. The only people giving Codematsers praise are big magazines and companies designed to prey on the weak to begin with. 

Also looking at it as a pure sales stance.... it makes no sense for them to NOT add features the customer base is asking for. Its not just a few hundred people... anyone who know about the Codemasters F1 era can tell you these games have been not good... or okay... horrible.

[APR193 0]

I'm not amazed with the graphics, in fact I'm not even impressed by them. The weather effects on the tarmac look good but the rest looks like an updated game rather than new gen for the series. Mirrors are still awful, drivers/mechanics still look odd, some parts still look a bit too block colour making it look a bit cartoony in places and some of the reflections are still as awful as they were in F1 2010. It's better but not by much. Still don't think its even as good as Forza 4 etc from last gen

Because of the delay will we get the full cars at the start or still hybrids??

Sorry bud but I have to disagree with you here.  Everyone has valid points.  Their game got worse over time, I think they are heading in the same direction as Operation Flashpoint.   Look at SMS and Project
Cars. They make a game based on what the consumers want, then they commit themselves to making it better based on feedback.  Their forum is nothing like Codmasters, it is active and constructive.  When it's all said and done we're  all part of the food chain; Codemasters depends on people like you to by their mediocre F1 games at full price and I depend on people like you to return the game so I can get it at half price in the bargain bins.  Guess it's a win win situation for all.

Everyone does have valid points. That's why calling someone a troll like someone did earlier just because they happen to like the game is out of order.

Some people on here talk about "we" as if they represent the entire forums views. People are made to feel unwelcome if they like the game and don't want it to become the hard core sim that many people who come on here seem to want.

I liked F1 2013 a lot and still like it. And I don't want it to become a hardcore sim if that makes it inaccessible to me and other people. If I want to spend hours setting up controller functions and car configurations like in sims I'll play Iracing and pcars. 

New people to the forum should be welcomed, not hounded out as trolls. And it is possible to like the game and want it to be changed/improved.

If you bought all F1 tittles; then lecture us about CM going where the money is even at the cost of dumbing down everything for the casual and letting us all down; that all the moaning is futile, etc..., then why should we take the opinion of a masochist seriously?

[Zombie 14]

There is a world of difference between opinion and fact  The reason i called him a troll is not because he likes the game, i could care less..I think you are a little confused @dirt3joe  its because he lied in his statements regarding Codemasters. as a company that are very false and I could see his comeback coming from a mile away... quite funny, he sure proved himself to be an outstanding young man with that sort of statement towards me, childish. Also a lot of us spend many hours in this little corner of the web over the years I had many conversations with people here and I know who agrees with me and who does not so to say "we" is in direct representation to those who do. None of us including myself here really ever claimed to be any sort of  "top maverick member" so to speak even with my credentials in the racing world, many others who where here since have come and gone (Including F1 testing drivers)  

Anyways i'm very glad the very few of you get to have fun with the F1 games from Codemasters, but it does not steer away from the fact that the games have always had problems that to others like me find significant and been fighting to get right. It also does not delete the bad history and customer neglect many of us have had to endure with Codemasters over the years with the F1 franchise, i was also expecting better company morals with all the internal changes within Codemasters as a company, its proven to be the same as always. Lies from day one.

Maybe some of you should go back in time a little to see what BigLee first wrote to get a refresher crash course on what was promised and ultimately what some of us are fighting for. Unfortunately  you can't go back further then that. Most of the F1 2010,11,12 forum content is gone (how shocking and ironic by the way), otherwise this place would show its true history and relationship with its customers and its not anywhere near the positive fairy tales Codemasters claims it to be. I been here since day one. 

Maybe you might ask your self.. well if you hate the games by Codemasters then get the hell out! why stay here? Well i say no because unfortunately they are the only company who can produce a licensed Formula 1 game and they know that so they treat us like dirt and it has to stop, it is wrong. We tried the nice way years ago... it did not work at all.  Trust me if  Codies where not the only  company who can produce a  F1 game i would have said good bye to them a long time ago. The fact remains that Codemaster's quality, attention to detail, customer service and ability to fix things has been and continues to be horrible.

The disappointment in the air remains, the fight for a better F1 game remains. The silence by Codemasters remains, ipso facto its shame grows. They had me for a second with those Canadian GP pictures but i realized how many things are wrong and how many things are still missing within the track after looking at them for a while.

It all started to go downhill when Steve hood was always incredibly defensive when engaging with customers / fans.  he couldn't take constructive criticism, he had a lot in common with the pcars guy  ( ian bell ).

Sorry, but I stand by my statement. You band-wagoners can stew and root in your own misery for all I care. I was simply pointing out an observation as a forum newcomer and only gave you a little ribbing, zombie, AFTER you took my comments to such a dramatic and sensationalist level. You DO seem quite jilted and, in fact, butt-hurt. I only expect such behavior from toddlers so sorry if I hurt your feelings and if there's actually an ignore feature on this forum I'm glad you've managed to find some use in it. I'd suggest the same action taken by any others who are offended by differing opinions.

To the others who can manage a civil debate/conversion and compare Codemasters' efforts to PCars or others - you may be right. Codemasters' might have quite a bit to learn and could probably take cues from their peers. I don't think they're even close to perfect in spite of my apparent fanboyisms. There are numerous issues I take with the 2013 copy I own, and the lack of info on the new game has certainly been sparse, but I just think the attitudes and reactions to the company and their games have been largely disproportionate.
