just more useless codemasters crap


__________________________________________________________________________

Really looking forward to this one, it looks really great! and I'm sure it will be much better than original f1games from codemasters.

Well, the trailer looks good. But don't they all?

As this is Codemasters at work I don't think I'll bother. On the other hand IF it turns out to be a good game then It'll be cheaper after six months anyway

I like it already! Ages ago I was even trying to convince CTDP to do something like this for rF.

This is going to be first Codemasters F1 game which I'm going to buy.

LOL!!

Quote
Power-ups include KERS, which is used to gain a speed boost, safety car deployment to hold up other drivers, summoning wet weather to spin out rivals or calling down a rain cloud on the race leader.

Courses will also feature their own obstacles, such as swimming pools in Monaco and bullet trains in Japan.

F1 Mario Kart?

AWESOME :D!!!!

Maybe codemasters realized a sim a wasn't possible so why not go the other way... and keep going !

I think there was a nascar mario kart? Not sure though, but I bet that was awesome. But yeah, I have always, always, always wanted a game like this with f1 drivers. Personally I think it will be fantastic! I wont be buying F1 2012 thats sure, but if this is on PC ill deffo buy it!

Me too and guess what happened. Still haven't bought it (I own most of codemasters racing games, but those f1 games I won't buy unless I get console versions for less than 5€ as those aren't really that much fun or specially rewarding on any level).

Anyway there is some new previews of F1 Race Stars on its facebook page: [www.facebook.com]

I trialled F1 2011, one of the reasons I didn't get it was the replay issue. Because of that it would not run on my computer well.

It's a shame you can't tell them anything though, you can't, for example, go on the CM forums and complain about previous games and suggest improvements. You just get banned for what they term "flaming".


Edit - I have just done exactly that, teehee. See what happens.

Edit 2 - I have already been threatened with a ban for my "negative viewpoint". All I did was express what I thought was wrong with previous games.

So they changed the graphics from previous games, but the handling and AI is still the same? Guess it is not for me then.

It's only after we've lost everything, that we are free to do anything.

I cannot wait for this game. This is what we needed to bring out our inner child once again. Loved Mario Kart and love ModNation on the PS3 so this will be great addition.

Haven't bought any of the CM F1 games as there was always something wrong with the games and I never enjoyed it. Only Codemasters game I've ever bought is Race Driver: Grid and even then it was £2 on Steam .

An F1 game that didn't take itself too seriously is just what we need. We know we will never get a decent enough sim, at least not one for the public. So why not just go the complete opposite direction?

Everyone moans how f1 is boring, and jokes the cars should have missiles. Well this is it.

As long as we don't get the glitches from F1 2010 and F1 2011

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

but seriously, are they making a "proper" game as well, or this is going to be the 2012 F1 Game?

There is an F1 2012 coming besides the Stars game.

Which looks exactly the same as both 2010 and 2011 so far. I picked up 2011 once it was on sale and was still massively disappointed with it. Not going to be fooled by 2012

The CM forums are hilarious. They honestly think that they're playing a sim and that it's more accurate and realistic than rFactor and iRacing because Codemasters' game is the official product. The official product, they say, is obviously more realistic than anything else otherwise it wouldn't be the official one.

Anyone who has a go at the handling and physics just gets shot down with tripe like "oh but you mustn't be experienced with racing games" and when you point out that you should never be able to control an F1 sim with a pad (which you can't btw) they just point to the fact that (and I honestly think they believe this) young drivers use the game to practice before they get their official F1 young drivers test. 'Cus that's what Stephen Flood bragged about, you see. So it must be true.

Everyone is idiots except them, obviously. Laser scanned tracks are not accurate because if they are the CM would use that method when making their games.

It shouldn't affect my own opinion of the game, but it does.

I like the game, but I'm well aware that's what it is. It's not a sim by any stretch of the imagination; for example on the game you can overtake at Hungary

It was never made to be a sim, but people forget this and start carping on about minor physical impossibilities and whatever. It's supposed to be a game environment.

It's a bit like if you buy a cheap Stratocaster; you can spend ages setting it up, but it's never going deliver the sound quite like a proper Fender one...because it was never meant to.
