***Official Formula One 2011 Thread***

I don't know about you paul but if I played f1 2010 and was dissapointed with it then I wouldn't expect a demo for f1 2011. I would rather they spent more time on the game itself.

Demos are a waste of time.

If you want an idea of how the game plays you wait for reviews or watch youtube videos. Theres even the possibility of asking people who have purchased the game about anything you are concerned about.

Fyi there is a day one patch that fixes some issues that the game is shipping with, this was mentioned by one of the people who went on a day visit to codemasters.
 
Dunoo if I should buy right away.. spent like £30 on F1 2010, was disappointed with it and the price tanked shortly after

Maybe I'll wait
 
I realise I'm in a massive minority here, but the only thing that truly annoyed me about F1 2010 was that the AI were horrendously uncompetitive (yes, even on Legend difficulty in a Virgin/Lotus/HRT). Made single player no where near as fun as it could have been, which is annoying when I don't touch multiplayer in racing games (mainly due to not having a wheel and thus being at a huge disadvantage).

Obviously there were the usual niggles, but I honestly saw them as nothing more than that (well, apart from the pit-stop bug, but that was fixed in the patch).

The AI is the big one for me too. Everything else was decent enough in F1 2010 that could be tweaked slightly better in F1 2011 but the AI was absolutely and completely useless. It was slow as hell and the AI drivers didn't even drive on the track when you weren't around. None of the F1 2010 reviews I read mentioned anything about these game breaking AI problems so I'm at a loss, either I blindly buy the new game or wait for reviews to come around that might or might not say whether there's an actual AI this time around.
 
So are the cars still going to have pre-determined lap times and then the cars just run it's course each lap? If so then what's the point in the safety car?

Still going to buy it though :cool:

Theres some nice AI mods out there, you should have looked into them

Made the game a lot more challenging
 
indeed. the biggest annoyance in F1 2010 was the random corners that the Ai players seemed to take realy slowly, even on legendary difficulty. Often you could take certain corners faster in a Lotus than the AI could in a Red Bull.

That completely destroyed the immersion.

I thought the rest of the game was pretty good.

Started reading some of the gamesradar review and already I don't agree with some of his points or comparisons to 2010, mainly the kerbs and car setup issues. Already beginning to doubt the credibility of the reviewer.
 
even an average game gets 8/10 these days....

9/10 dont tell us much at all , codemasters have a habit of making games look better on there press screenshots and videos anyway i wouldnt trust them to represent what the game actually looks like
 
Quick question.

Does anyone have any news on the replay's? Are they proper real life F1 camera angles or same angles CM came up with last year?

ooo im excited. Sounding very good!

"As in last year's game, they can sometimes move to defend too early, giving you the chance to overtake them on the outside, but this happens a lot less in F1 2011. The AI drivers are also much more consistent across all of the circuits in this year's game. You no longer find that they are too fast at some tracks or too slow at others, and they certainly don't struggle in fast corners like they did in F1 2010. "
