F1 2020 (codemasters)

I just can’t justify this with so few changes over last years. Obviously given the year it reflects the actual season poorly too. Maybe when it’s a bit cheaper.

Big fan of F1 and would love to play this game. Unfortunately my wheel/seat setup is for VR. I can't actually play this game unless I use a controller.

Gutted.

Yes I think thats the way to go with this.

Same, that's another part of the reasoning for me.

I have a folding seat which also has a rig for holding the pedals and steering wheel, but I'd need to faff a lot to get an extra monitor to put in front of me rather than on my desk in order to make it possible and I just can't be bothered with all that effort and expense. My wheel and pedals are screwed on at just the right positions and it'd be a pain to move them back to my desk top arrangement.

So for those reasons, sadly, and for another year, I'll pass.

Is the multiplayer crossplay?

I think im like 4300th on Melbourne and similar on Austria - no idea how people can go so fast, im so slow!

Really enjoying this - probably wouldn't have paid £50+ for this on Xbox though.
I will say the handling seems much better than last year and the AI seems much "interesting" - more aggressive and willing to try and overtake and also much more fallible; I've seen plenty of AI car's causing accidents and going off, something I don't think I ever saw on F1 2019; just feels a bit more realistic.

Had a big system crash playing this earlier, I was about 90 minutes into the career mode doing practice in Melbourne and my PC did a hard reset. There is an outside chance it is my system, but I haven't had that happen on any game before now.
@Metalface Mark try watching youtuber 'TRL Limitless', he holds the WR laptime for Melbourne and has just posted a very helpful video with driving tips and his car setup.

one criticism i do have is there is a very poor selection of helmets etc. they are gonna attempt to nickel and dime us i think.

robbin ******** for £50 lulz

Uther · 8 Jul 2020 at 08:45

Think I'll wait for the sale. £50 with no vr is a bit steep IMO.

Yes, £50 is expensive but have you not shopped around? You can get this for £28, £29 or £36 depending on the edition you want.

Metalface Mark · 8 Jul 2020 at 10:04

You guys wanna post time trials for this wekeends Austrian Grand Prix and we can see who's fastest?

Thanks, £28.99 from cd keys for the 'seventy edition' might go for that.

I did, all good! Just patiently waiting for the 10th to tick round. I hear a lot of positivity across FB about handling and AI improvements over '19. Looking forward to start lapping!

is it to early to get a bunch of settings for car setups for each track ?

They really should offer "upgrade" options to those that have the previous iteration of the game with a good chunky discount. I can't justify £36 knowing it'll be much less in a few months with patches fixing whatever problems people are likely to find.

I think they'd do well to create a 'container' with the game engine etc. and then charge each season as DLC/modules... but they won't as they can charge money like Fifa etc.
