No Safety Car in F1 2010

Speaking to Gamerzines, F1 2010's Paul Jeal has explained why Codemasters' take on motorsport's most extravagant discipline won't feature Safety Cars.

"The Pace Car is something that we looked at and we'd very much like to do it, but in terms of what it gave the experience versus the elements we had to do such as live the life and the paddock stuff we didn't think we could do it justice for this game," revealed the racer's senior producer.

I could not give a f*** on living the life of a F1 driver. As for driving behind a safety car, well that is part of F1 if that situation arises and would have added that extra bit of realism. The developers dont think thats exciting enough? How about trying to keep tire temperature up, if your currently in the lead judging a good start afer the safety cars in, having to restart amoungst a tight pack of cars again, is that not exciting enough Codemasters?
To hear that they already have ideas for their next F1 title really makes me wonder what else they dont have planned for this coming game.

I completely agree with you but I know why they won't include these features. They don't want to put off the casual player (and despite what many people think, they exist in numbers on the 360 and ps3), by adding features that may confuse them or not make instantly accesable for a quick race. Most people sadly don't care about things such as tyre wear, tyre temperatures, aerodynamics, downforce etc.

Come on codemasters, just give the F1 license back to Polyphony...

F1 2010 vs F1 2011 vs F1 2014 vs F1 2015 comparison

Team VVV writes: "To follow up on our recent F1 2011 vs F1 2015 video, we decide to go one step further and put four iterations of Codemasters' F1 titles side by side for comparison purposes and for a little fun too.

We have F1 2010 running at the top left for the Xbox 360, F1 2011 at the top right also for the Xbox 360, the bottom left is last year's F1 2014 for the Playstation 3 and of course F1 2015 running on the Playstation 4 completes the foursome in the bottom right video."

There is no career mode. You get to play as one driver for one season as often as you like. I think its called championship mode.

ABBAJESUS3261d ago

@deklore, it's pro season mode or something like that.

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 ..

Akuma2K3544d 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).

mattritchiegspresso3544d 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.

memots3543d ago

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