Helios (Ian Webster), one of the Community Managers for Codemasters has just posted an update for the upcoming F1 2010 patch. It appears the team is hard at work to address numerous issues currently plaguing the game. Helios is quick to point out that the list below is merely “a snap shot of the key improvements.”
The F1 24 announcement seems imminent, as the Champions Edition cover and details have surfaced in F1 23's game files after the latest patch.
To Sony, and so many other companies in this industry, the short-term satisfaction and happiness of their shareholders means so much more to them than their employees, their products, and their customers.
IGN writes: "Veteran UK developer Codemasters has suffered a round of layoffs following the launch of racing games F1 23 and EA Sports WRC.
Codemasters owner EA confirmed the redundancies in a statement issued to IGN, although failed to disclose the number of staff affected."
Speaking during an earnings call, EA chiefs are confident that the Codemasters Birmingham team can continue to progress with the Formula 1 games.
Strength in game quality or in Microtransactions? Literally no EA game goes from strength to strength in quality, ask Battlefield fans.
About time. No mention of AI fuel and the wet weather updates are vague...
Immagine what DX11 will look like on the consoles. After all us PC gamers are stuck with DX9. (I am being sarcastic again lol)
I'm eagerly awaiting this patch, because the game is nothing short of broken at the moment. I've only got to Spain in career mode but I've had to spot playing altogether because of the AI simply not pitting in the majority of the races. I think I've only seen 1 race in which everyone pitted, which is pretty ridiculous, not to mention the AI's other bizarre behavior, like the "catch up" effect the devs claimed isn't there, but clearly is in some form. Also tyre and fuel wear seem to be non existent with the AI.
I'm also hope they fix the crappy performance as well. I average around 30-45FPS during a race, be it rain or shine, and that's with an E8400 @ 3.8Ghz and an ATI 5850 @ 980/1200. Checking both CPU and GPU usage shows that my CPU usage never goes higher than 70%, and GPU no higher than 40%, which is just rubbish really. I've actually read people with Nvidia 8XXX series cards outperforming me!
