Why is a company like Codemasters using early access

isnt it meant for small time/inde developers

According to one of the videos posted earlier (one with the northern Irish bird interviewing) its more so they can collaborate with the fans because they have had problems delivering exactly what they want in the past.

They could have used a free open beta like EA? Not that it has solved many of their problems anyway

I haven't touched RBR in years now but I loved that game even if I was poor at it, so if this is at least a bit more serious than previous titles then I'm interested. Only problem is that I don't even have a steering wheel anymore!

Codemasters are joke :rolleyes:

the PC only clue is its using their ancient game engine not the genuine step forward nextgen one F1-2015 launches with in early June.

Still haven't fixed this issue, re downloaded it 3 times, Right now I have a 7gb paperweight on my ssd, seriously annoying me now.

90fps @ 1440p looks great, but isn't going to change your life.

I played 2 rallies on keyboard which was not bad, but would be much much better with the wheel plugged in. I have only put in an hour, but it has behaved 100% for me.

CapitalOne · 27 Apr 2015 at 19:48

To clariify my statement - it looks as good as you would expect and runs very smooth. It is not however "a new dawn in graphics"

I gave career a go, but lost more than I earnt as my Mini "somehow" went tumbling off a cliff.

Ooooo, amazing. Buying it now.

maxilive · 27 Apr 2015 at 20:22

Been working a treat for me!

Such a hard game which I'm enjoying! The career is also really unforgiving when it comes to budget and crashing/restarting that I've done a lot of

Pike's Peak at the end of May. Oh man.

Digital X · 27 Apr 2015 at 20:28

Sorry no 60fps option, I've no idea how to enable it. It was just exported from "Action!" recorder.
