F1 2010

A much better written review from EDGE

Just like a real Grand Prix, an F1 game can win or lose in Practice and Qualifying. These sessions, which are mandatory in Career mode and can only be accelerated, not skipped, are some of the game’s most thrilling battles.

Think of them as giant, asynchronous multiplayer time trials that reward nothing more than commitment. First, you get the buzz of a few solid laps that put you high on the table, if not at the top. Then, as F1’s most exciting roster in years takes to the track, there’s the buzz-kill as you’re pushed back down. Then comes the reassurance that your tires and engine have reached peak efficiency. Your efforts recharge, your improved knowledge of the track restoring pride and position. Not pole position, mind - not for a long time - but enough to reassure you that a) you belong in this elite competition, and b) that entry isn’t cheap. So the cycle continues

Nice.
 
man all these reviews and videos are making me hard, i want this game so bad:drool:
 
EDGE could have found some 2010 images :lol:

That guy obviously has a half decent clue on how to race, given his equipment you would think so but I remember reading a review somewhere where it mentions being quick isn't too difficult initially its finding the extra consistency and tenths of time over a lap time which is hard, plus does he mention which difficulty in terms of AI he has it on?

do you mean the cars? all of the images are of the 2009 cars while they were making the build, you will only see 2010 cars in the final release of the game when you get it
 
aye, all the promo images old and new have last years cars
 
Can't decide whether to get this or not, very tempted, but I can see it gathering dust as soon as GT5 arrives.

I don't think that's fair to be honest, as this game is more about an accurate simulation of an F1 season. GT5 will have F1 cars, but you will not be able to take it through a season with everything that goes along with that, it won't have an F1 season campaign. Will it look better with 16 Ferrari 2007s flying around in the rain? Highly likely, but again, it's not a fair comparison, this game has to deal with 24 cars at once.
 
oooohhhhh getting closer now:drool:

already im thinking of the settings i want to use, 50% race length, manual pit stops, braking and steering assist off, i like to have the dynamic racing line on for a lap or two until i get a bit familiar with it, then that off too
 
I'm not sure how many laps I want. If you do half laps, will the same number of pits be required and everything scaled down like tyre wear etc?

Really hope this comes on Thursday :drool:
 
I am 99% sure there will be a scaled weather/tyre option, I think I am right in saying career mode is a mandatory 10 lap race minimum too.
 
I might actually buy it, but it has to be reasonably made - for example I don't want to be forced to take 15 practice laps before each race in career mode, or do a 30-minute qualification, or a 45-minute race. It all has to be squeezed so that you will be able to complete a race in about an hour, otherwise it'll be frustrating. Ideally you'll be able to choose how long it takes and that will probably be that way.

That's a fair point, and I am a massive F1 fan tbh, wouldn't hurt having two decent racing games I suppose, seeing as I bought a Wheel too.
 
My pre-order has just been processed at shopto, hopefully ill have it on Thursday
 
Have the multiplayer details been released? Like how many people can be in one race and what modes there are?
