F1 2010 - Was The Game Released Too Early?

The author looks at the allegations leveled at Codemasters about F1 2010 and its bugs in an opinion piece.

"Earlier this week, I posted that a patch was in development for F1 2010. What I didn’t know at the time was how badly the game needs a patch after browsing through the Codemasters’ forums.

To say some F1 2010 owners are unhappy, is akin to saying World War 2 was a tiny skirmish - a gross understatement."

What happened to the days of playstesting before release?
the ability to patch games post-release has just bred lazy developers who can release sloppy work, only to fix it later.

Ognipode4956d ago

Codemasters are at least handling the community pretty well with their response, it looks like they genuinely do want to sort it out.

fafoon4956d ago

And actually Sorting it out are 2 different things

Killa Aaron4956d ago

The fake AI lap times must be true cause they closed the thread.

dorron4956d ago

From a customer point of view, yes. The game is full of bugs.

From a business point of view, no. Had it wait longer for the release everyone would have been playing GT5 and wouldn't care about F1.

starcraft2fan4956d ago

GT5 only comes out it in 2 months, so I wouldn't view that as direct competition. Also, they target different markets, to an extent.

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."

Gonna have to be a big f1 fan to purchase, as PCars has f1 racing?

ABBAJESUS3214d ago

There is career mode and all the teams, tracks and drivers so yeh this gets my money cos im big f1 fan

deklore3214d ago

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.

ABBAJESUS3214d ago

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

jay23214d ago

Mate this is a proper F1 game, all the teams, drivers, tracks, rules etc. so get the real thing over the amazing porject cars for a true f1 experance.

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 ..

Akuma2K3498d 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).

mattritchiegspresso3497d 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.

memots3497d ago

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