Throwing Digital Sheep- F1 2013 Preview

Aaron Stone writes: "When I first played F1 2010 it took me a long while to get used to the control of cars, it was hard to master but at the same time was the most rewarding racing game I had played in a long while. This same experience was had when driving Nigel Manson’s car from the 1980’s around Brand Hatch. The car was fast, hard to control and I loved every minute, because I felt no control over the car it was more exciting to drive, drifting round the corners not knowing whether I would make it or not was something that the drivers from the time would feel"

The dangers of an all digital future. I will never get people who are rallying for that.

Vegamyster2666d ago

If you own the game you can still download and install it, you just can't buy it due to expired licensing.

lnfiniteLoop2666d ago (Edited 2666d ago )

only while it is still on the servers to download from... eventually it will be deleted from those as well...

If it's through Steam then that's not something i'd wouldn't worry about, they're not going to be shutting down their servers anytime soon.

I want to be able to play those games when I die, But that will only be possible in disc format. I doubt i'll have wifi.

Make Room for Three Great Games in May - Games with Gold

Xbox Wire:
It’s not quite time for summer vacation, but May is a time for sunny days, warm weather, and plenty of great gaming courtesy of Games with Gold. In May, Games with Gold is adding CastleStorm: Definitive Edition, an awesome tower-defense brawler mashup title, for free, as well as extending Pool Nation in Games with Gold for another month on Xbox One. On the Xbox 360 front, two great games are coming free in May: Mafia II, a third-person action game that immerses players in the dark and unforgiving world of the Mafia in the 1940’s and 50’s, and F1 2013, a realistic, open-wheel racing sim. As usual, all games are available only for a limited time*, as part of the ongoing Games with Gold program.

Wow, looks like both the PS+ free games and Games With Gold are striking out in May!!

AngelicIceDiamond3281d ago

Considering Witcher 3 releases next month. Can't have anything to crazy for May.

KiwiViper853281d ago

I think everyone is looking forward to Witcher 3... It's gonna sell so well.

CDPR deserves the riches

XanderZane3280d ago

Yup.. I'm not mad at Microsoft or Sony for these weak offerings, because I still have a lot of the other free games they've given me over the past 4 months to play. Like you said, The Witcher 3 is coming in May, so I definitely won't have time to play any of these freebies next month.

lelo2play3281d ago (Edited 3281d ago )

Yep, both PS+ and Games with Gold are subpar.

Sony doesn't need to improve PS+ subpar offerings, since the PS4 is selling quite well... but Microsoft could really sell a few more X1's if their Gold offerings were better. It's Microsoft that needs to improve, not Sony.
Like it or not, the company that "offers" better games with their paid online service, could sway a few gamers in purchasing their console instead of the competition. It happened last gen with PS+ "offerings" for the PS3.

Microsoft doesn't learn... they simply don't know how to compete.
Supposing the other way around, if the X1 had better sales then the PS4, you could bet your a** that Sony would be offering AAA PS4 games with PS+ to improve sales.

Dirtnapstor3281d ago

PS+ offerings subpar? Whatever....
Not sure about the all the PS offerings, but I know Guacamelee and The Unfinished Swan are great games.
To say Sony is not putting in any effort because the PS4 is selling so well is ignorant.
I'm in Playstation's corner, but getting AC Blag Flag for free was pretty sweet!

DanZeeMan3281d ago

My spider senses are telling me you possibly own a PS4

OC_MurphysLaw3281d ago

Happy to see CastleStorm on the list. Its a game I was interested in but was probably not willing to buy.

ThinkThink3281d ago

CastleStorm was great. Looking forward to playing it again with the DLC on the X1.

MTROB3281d ago

I thought it was going to be DR3 for XB1, nevermind!

xDHAV0K24x3281d ago

DR3 was good. sure u can get it for cheap nowadays

WCxAlchemist3281d ago

MS we gotta do better than that!

how bout Lords of the fallen to usher in ur new partnership with deck 13

ERFO3281d ago

At the very least, put it on sale.

3281d ago
gangsta_red3281d ago

Yea, very lackluster next month. There are way better titles out there old or not that could be offered to Xbox users.

xDHAV0K24x3281d ago

Neverwinter and Happy Wars is also free to play

The F1 Series Needs A Pit Stop

Steve from Gamespresso argues that it's time for Codemasters to stop releasing new F1 games annually, stating that they should either add new liveries and licences to existing games as DLC, or not release a game at all.

F1 2015 is going to be released Q1 2015. It is going to be "true" next gen game codies say. Over 2 years they have worked on that game. If it fails ..

Akuma2K3494d ago

The author of the article seems mad for whatever reasons that don't make any sense, the F1 racing series is a very popular which has had great success is sales from 2010 to now.

Can't wait to play F1 2015 in march/april if not mistaken (game is suppose to come out a month or so early before the F1 season starts).

mattritchiegspresso3493d ago

It certainly has had great success, and that's not surprising, but that doesn't mean that we should agree with essentially the same cash-grab being shipped out year after year, regardless of how good it is.

memots3493d ago

Got 2010, 2012 , 2013 , skipping 2014 just nothing new in there, 2015 is the true next gen
