A big new video from the guys at Autosport Magazine. Or you can click here to go straight toAnthony Davidson’s Monaco lap

Looks scarily good compared to real tcam footage

MAAAAAN, dis goooood.
Stickied.

[Paddy]

Yeah, that looks awesome!

[OldDirtyBastard]

Can’t fucking wait.

[Paddy]

I wonder what the damage will be like?

[OldDirtyBastard]

They got it right in GRID (formula 3) so i don’t think they would fail here. I even think they are going to improve.
Also, fuck yes at the blinding light at the end of the tunnel in Monaco.
Phew, they’ve got the visual part right.

[Paddy]

Is there a safety car?

[OldDirtyBastard]

Nope.
I think they’ll implement it in 2011.

[Paddy]

I could see it just being a pain in the ass anyway.

[OldDirtyBastard]

@P-Thunder.

I could see it just being a pain in the ass anyway.

That’s exactly Codies’ reasoning.

The game looks almost like real-life in the rain. HOLY CRAP>
That’s the first time in years I’ve been amazed so much by console graphics

[jambo]

Can’t wait to crank this on my PC, 3 more sleeps!

[OldDirtyBastard]

Hey, so it looks like we get pretty good crashes in the game:

Pretty realistic, considering that monodick and nosecone are pretty rigid IRL

Review:
https://www.gamesradar.com/xbox360/f1-2010/review/f1-2010-review/a-2010091614531208012/g-20100310145635789058

The length of the races and preparation that goes into them makes it feel like it means more. When you’ve gone through three practise sessions (reaching target times for team testing), then competed in three qualifying sessions, the race itself feels like a big event. So in the situation above, you don’t feel the desire to make a rash, videogamey decision. You want to do it properly – and that’s something that F1 2010 gives you better than any other current-gen racer.

While the AI can often make mistakes that end up in race-destroying collisions, the quality of its defensive driving is superb. As it sacrifices its own speed to take inside lines into corners and block your moves, suddenly you realise the cars ahead of you both have pulled away, and someone else is now snapping at your heels. Again, this is something loads of games claim to do, but simply don’t deliver.

In the end, it’s the attention to detail that makes F1 2010 a consistently surprising and rewarding experience. “Remember to brake for the pit box,” says the guy over the radio. I didn’t bother because the car appears to be on complete autodrive, then promptly flattened the poor mechanic on the front jack. Ouch.

HELL. YES.

There are a few missed opportunities. The lack of a champagne-spraying sequence when you win is a surprising omission, especially as I expected it not only to be there, but to be interactive, given the rest of the immersive features the game has. Maybe the reason for this is that you never see any of the other drivers in the paddock. Despite the full license for driver names, you only ever see photos of them, which makes this quite a one-man show.
Also, physically walking around the pits and getting into the car would have helped make the transition from menu to game even more seamless. Maybe next year?

GOD. NO

[Paddy]

Those crashes. wow!

[OldDirtyBastard]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_j5U-ctKR1A&feature=fvst LOL at 5:00
I’m so gonna have fun in pits. Manual control is all I need.

EDIT: SHIT.

Why can’t we have a helmet cam like this in F1 2010
Fuckers

[Siggs]

That guy sucks at driving SO BAD. Oh, and he has a fucking annoying voice

[OldDirtyBastard]

Did you notice that McLaren’s paint job (reflections on it, to be precise) looks a bit meh?

But I’m more pissed off at the fact that we don’t get a proper helmet cam, like in the second vid.

EDIT: https://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=447611576664&ref=mf
Shit looks suspiciously real.

[blatstuff]

I was finally able to pick up a copy today. Distribution was sparse in the US.

Is there anything more fun than go-karts that race 200 MPH? Huzzah for something to hold me over until GT5. ]

[Jeannotvb]

Never really got into racing games but this looks awesome, will check it out.
