Codemasters' F1 game discussion

Not on the consoles, at least. I'm sure I heard one of the devs in the earlier videos say that the pc version has more support and options for wheels.

I just hope the PC version is a lot more stable than Dirt 2.

I got dirt2 on steam and it crashes very randomly.
I searched a few forums and you need to make changes to the xml graphics configuration files.
Something to do with having a quad core processor.
And everybody has different suggestions to make it more reliable.

It's surprising because I have Grid and never had any such problems.

PC def looks better, followed by Xbox...PS3 looks blurry

chet yopu mean the steering response?, i don't think is a "problem" of the game but rather the console, the xbox 360 forza games have that "problem" too... is a shame because one of the main characteristics of an F1 is the quick steering response and change of direction...

that's why i'm getting on PC, even if i don't have the best hardware to run the game at max settings i rather play it well and sacrifice some graphics

Pc version looks awesome!




LS's Tip of the week
ESSENTIAL OILS aren't essential unless you're an engine, a gearbox or a twat

Strange - the pc looks most detailed but has the odd yellow glow, the xbox has too much contrast and the ps3 looks blurry and washed out - looks like they couldn't get the lighting right on any of them

That's a pretty god awful video. He can't drive, the wheel isn't setup correctly, and the exit of the parabolica is badly lofted to the point where the car appears to move up and down so much that it actually gets light.

massive delay on the wheel! what's that about? thankfully on my 360 forza 3 does not do that so maybe that's a wheel-specific problem.

The ironic thing about that part 6 vid is that it seems to be his low downforce setup has a lower top speed than the top speed on his previous runs :p

what wheel do you use?

The videos are driving with Fanatec, which are pretty much the best wheel you'll get outside of the Pro stuff now days. So it won't be an issue with those.

But those videos are indeed pretty horrible.

There is no official word on a balancing/patch updates as of yet. That doesn't mean we're ignoring anything. We're not monsters, we care

Does this mean they are afraid the game is worse than initially thought? Not a good sign if you ask me.
