Formula 1 game

I have. I often receive the prompts to apply a patch to a game once I load it, but have yet to see the one for F1 2010 :mark: .

Strange. One other way to get around the pit stop bug is to do longer races or do your strategy in reverse to the norm i.e start on primes and change to options.

Xbox live tag: JmatthewB If you want to race or challenge my time trial leaderboard times. I got a 1:41 at Spa yesterday which i was proud of :)

Yep.

Ok, so the vid showed a safety car briefly, but nowhere does it mention that as being a part of the new game. Maybe i overlooked it.

I think they talked about in PAX in one of the interview or maybe E3 I cant remember, but its a definite addition, if you can find one of their dev talk video's, I'm sure you'll find it there + the part I highlighted ^ :)

They probably used footage from a pre-alpha build or a beta. It will be much more polished come release day. I think the graphics are an improvement, and they also have gotten rid of the yellow filter after the massive outcry over it last year.

I only hope they haven't made the handling easier, at least with all assists off, for this game to be a challenge.

I thought the shading and rendering was brilliant in the last game and enjoyed the tones that took away the bright fake colours of previous racing games. You only have to look at Gran Turismo 5 to see how bad the graphics are in comparison to F1 2010 IMO. I waited 5 long years for Gran Turismo 5, bought it, played it, traded it.. So disappointed. :(

So far that Stephen Hood guy says the game AI and handling has improved tremendously, so that can mean only good things. Although I'll be patient and take everything with a pinch of salt. They said a lot of goody-goody stuff last year to hype F1 2010, and then released a heavily bugged game.

I got several podiums and wins in a Lotus on hardest difficulty, i.e. expert mode, with all assists off, and from then on pretty much blitzed the championship, again on expert mode. I really hope it gets mega difficult this time, and the handling provides more challenges. So far the developer diaries paint a good picture.

So, F1 2011 comes out tomorrow. I'm pre-loaded and ready to rock. Who's with me?? I'll be starting up a Co-op Championship with my buddy. Looking forward to it.
