One Angry Gamer "What happened lately where publishers seem to be throwing any and everything at the wall for PC gamers and hoping it sticks? Apparently hopes for Codemasters' F1 2015 being a decent PC port have been thrown clear out the window, especially if feedback from user reviews and complaints from across the web from those who purchased the game are anything to go by."
PC gamers should hurry up and take advantage of this great new freebie before the time runs out.
oh they need to make this free on PS4 too... Let us get it as a PlayStation Plus free game...
TeamVVV: "With the release of Codemasters' Hungary hot lap gameplay video for F1 2016 we can't resist the urge to put it up against last year's offering from the talented studio."
TeamVVV: "With the recent release of the F1 2016 Red Bull Ring hot lap video, we couldn't resist the urge to boot up F1 2015 for a comparison video."
This is why I no longer buy Day 1 unless they are from a trusted developer with a great history of releasing properly optimized games that work on day 1 on the platform Im buying on. Tired of spending my hard earned money on games that I have to wait months to play because they are so broken and need a ton of work. BF4, Simcity, Halo MCC, Batman Arkham Knight, Watch Dogs, Driveclub, AC Unity, I can go all day with all of the games in recent years that have been complete disasters months after release. Now I just wait for major sales unless its from a company that I know releases quality games at launch.
I haven't played this particular series, i wouldn't know. As for their other games, i never played a codemasters game that never ran good. My on board Intel GPU can play them at 1080p 60 fps.
All i can say is DX12 can't come soon enough. if the practice still persists after, it's all on the developer's poor structure with being up to date.
Epic actually has their latest engine (UE4) support a simple one button click optimization process. It compiles the code and does everything for you to run smooth. Devs should be switching or taking notes.
