In part 1 of a 2 part interview, IncGamers' John Robertson talks to F1 2010's Chief Games Designer, Steve Hodd, as well as Senior Producer, Paul Jeal.
'Being big Formula 1 fans, what were the elements you really wanted to get right in order to create the best experience possible?
Steve Hood: First and foremost, the thing for me was making sure it was actually fun to drive the cars around the track. Fun for me isn’t doing two-thousand miles per hour down the straight or being able to kick an afterburner on, it was having that consistency where you can drive the car around the circuit and, once you get used to it, you get into a rhythm and start shaving a second off, then half a second and then tenths off.'
Team VVV writes: "Following our recent Project CARS vs F1 2015 Monaco comparison, we now compare the very first game in Codemasters long-running series, F1 2010, up against its latest offering and we once again take to the streets of Monte Carlo."
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."
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 ..
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).
Got 2010, 2012 , 2013 , skipping 2014 just nothing new in there, 2015 is the true next gen
