I had to shop about and eventually I found an unboxed version for £10.
and most people looking for a decent f1 game would hate :| don't want a complete sim (although I wouldn't mind it), but it needs to be far from arcadey
Listen Codemasters can spout on about new handling and this will be different to their past games. I totally believe them it will be different.
I do not for one moment think this will offer anything more difficult or true simulation to other console games that say brave things in development about their handling. Chances are this will offer a degree of required throttle and braking control particulary in the wet but it wont be amazingly difficult or require precise control, why because its a console game and console games no.1 priority is to appeal to as large of an audience as possible and console games by nature are played with a majority of pad owners that cannot function to the same degree as a wheel can in precision. Yes it will have an arcade mode but that will require next to no realistic driving (as the videos show already)
What codies want to achieve is great graphics, an exciting racing game to play which looks fast is fun to race and have it appeal to as many F1 fans as possible. I do believe this will beat the last few F1 console games that appeared and Codemasters are going down the route of having more than just racing with this career/story mode. Its nice to see something different being done and is about time a decent racing game simulated weather systems to a decent level.
My own biggest worry is the AI. I cannot believe how AI in the fps genre has advanced so much over the last few years yet racing games suck with realy poor AI that cant mount much of a challenge.
This game in my opinion will be a 7-8 on the rating scales good but with issues.

If you like racing games heck your missing out on a lot of extra fun without a wheel.
Rumours are a new X360 wheel is coming if not Microsoft then possibly Logtech but the current X360 wheel is aparently discontinued which leans to me to say Microsoft have a new one in the works.
AI in nearly every game is a big POS. fps ai is kind of improving, but I wouldn't say much. racing AI is just follow the waypoint and go x speed depending on how the player is doing. F1 AI is just awful.
I still play F1CE every now and then, and I always seem to get taken out by back markers who seem to make moves that make no sense when I'm trying to pass, or as soon as I pass start attacking me and end up running me off the road.
Looking at this video

I'm genuinely excited now - its looks fantastic.

Chase view
Do you drive your real car by remote control from the top of a bus following behind
hope they are, f1ce annoys me when I can't find the right buttons on my wheel
How awesome would it be to have to press the speed limiter button at the right time, otherwise there is a drive through penalty, then you have to stop at the markers (whch is in) and then drive off again and take off the limiter.
you do have to stop the car yourself (from what I've read).... and every video I've seen people are speeding in the pits... so maybeHow awesome would it be to have to press the speed limiter button at the right time, otherwise there is a drive through penalty, then you have to stop at the markers (whch is in) and then drive off again and take off the limiter.

That's good then, and I'm sure it will be penalised in-game.
Running a few mechanics over, anybody?
let me try and find that video....Running a few mechanics over, anybody?
Hopefully something more compact - If my official MS wheel wasn't so damn cumbersome I'd use it. I was led to believe MS won't release the FFB code for the wheels, so other manufacturers can't produce a competing product ?
