F1 2011 Interview - Safety Car, restarts, red flags

[ShokkRB7]

F1 2011+Codemaster= FUCK SHIT!!

[cucumber2111]

why cant they wreck the cars !!

[steveiouk]

@cucumber2111 Because manufacturers dont like to see their cars being wrecked in games...its the same for Gran Tourismo..

[cucumber2111]

@steveiouk thanks :)

[iiEliTezz1]

would love 2 see cinematics and lyk a story mode next year sumtn lyk that or maybe a choice of which.

[floorbrother]

safety car only comes out when YOU are involved in a crash or at least you can see the crash. it will never come out on the track when it's not clear why.

so i have to say codemasters didn't make a good job. I drove a whole 100% season and i never had a safety car period

[LukeTheOne99]

I love how cars change every year in career i win in a sauber

[cameronjip]

I like the way they have sebastien vettels finger...NOT !

I am a real Lewis Hamilton fan since he started in 2007

[A5h13yK]

also havnt been able to change mixtures

[A5h13yK]

and ive never had a red flag

[sbandat90]

@A5h13yK you cant have a red flag every race..

[A5h13yK]

well if its in the game whys it so damn hard to get it

[4JRimmer]

This is the best racing sim to date if you're on Xbox. They listened to the real fans, and improved all the important parts, namely the simulation and handling. It's incredibly good at portraiting real F1 handling now if you're on no assists. Last years game lacked, but trust me, this year Codies did incredibly well.

Thank you Steve Hood et all!! I love you, and have the same focus next year guys!

If you're reading this and is a racing fan; just buy people, and see you online! :)

[oliveraarango]

Time lap per round isn't very relistic to all tracks. like singapore, approx time is about 1:47 per round. In the game, it was like 1:42..

[Fire9547]

The handling is much better than in 2010

[dreamcast98]

Why would the teams/FOM care about realistic damage in a VIDEO GAME !?

[MrDominic152]

You can dip into the pits when the safety car is out!!!... It's listed as an 'opportunist' in the achievements .. What's Hoody on about?!?!

[moshambles]

Pity about the damage. Realistic damage adds so much to a game like this. Wheel to wheel racing is all the more intense if you know that you might crash out of the race or damage you're suspension. I hope the replays are better this time. I really didn't like the cartoonish angles in last year’s game. GT5's are spot on.

I’m pretty sure I’ll love this game though. I’m just greedy for perfection.

[BloodMagex]

5:44 Could have just said no....

[OceanaOfficer]

2 moments in that video that has happened this year, Hamilton and button in montreal and petrov flying through the air in malaysia

[Bigmacmaniac]

epic

[SuperHardTrance]

I don't understand why damage is so important to people... there is noway in hell i buy a racing gaming to check out how it smashes.

Also... THANK YOU SOOO MUCH CODEMASTERS F1 TEAM, You really should be proud.

[antz350]

not a huge f1 fan but this game looks badass and its racing so def pry buying it

[wonderkid666]

no sound?



[BookemDeno]

BEST RACING GAME EVER!!

[kevinthemathgeek]

I love how he described at 1:30 EXACTLY what happened at Monaco this year

[MSFTV73]

I'm really disappointed that we see so little footage of the F1 2011 game,why CM show so little ?The game will be awesome or it will be one big bug,could that be the reason that they not giving the gamers a good sneak preview ?11 more days to go untill they release the game in The Netherlands,on 22 september i get the game in my mailbox and i can have a look myself.Not happy that we can't see more untill that time...really annoying !

[SkiBigWhite]

Fuck you FOM put proper damage in so when we do loose it up eau rougue you get a crash that does realistically destroy the car, not just puncture the tyres

[SuperR1991]

They need to make the pit crew work faster in f1 2010 they work so slow and I always lose position cus of that

[221evans]

does any body know if the thrustmasters ferrari f430 wheel for the ps3 will work with this? i hope it will

[me89360]

I like how in the vid they have clips of the race this year in game crashes, like button and hamilton crash, vettel spins and button in the lead

[SkullKiddo13]

Ow god, I'm so ashamed bcuz that's a Dutch interviewer and I'm Dutch and his accent is soooooooo terrible!!! Not al Dutch people talk like that!

But there are a lot and then I feel soo ashamed!

[TheTekkenfanaat]

@SkullKiddo13 THIS is a bad accent? Do you watch television? At all? I mean, if you want to hear a bad accent you should hear our politicians, or other 'important' Dutch people, talk.

I also cringe when I hear horrible accents, but this is just fine, for a change.

Ontopic: I should try this one. The last F1 game I played was a PSone title. Oops.

[ssj9997]

@SkullKiddo13 dw at least he's bothered to learn another language unlike most of us british people :)

[SkullKiddo13]

@ssj9997 hahaha :D

[TheGamerKing14]

O dear vettel with his stupid finger

[miguelspeedfire]

For some reason F1 Game series keep im 1st of my fav games.

[miguelspeedfire]

@miguelspeedfire in*

[MSFTV73]

Does the safetycar come with a bugpatch ?I'm kidding,LOVE that they finaly build in the SC,just great !Hope that the damage model has improved bigtime,in F1 2010 it was impossible to destroy the back of the car...sucked bigtime.The wing didn't fell off when somebody drove inside the back of the car.2 more weeks until CM release the game,can't wait to get my hands on F1 2011...feeling like a little kid just before christmas.... :-) !

[Lapqster]

This is encouraging me to drive like a noob. My First race is going to be trying to bring out the safety car by putting alonso into a wall :D

[MSFTV73]

@Lapqster:I had the same thought,but with Hamilton because i'm a HUGE Ferrari fan in real life...Don't like McLaren hahaha.

[copey131]

@Lapqster This is the comment ive been waiting for you LEGEND!

[ReinierDaU2ber]

Poeperdepoep

[arepeace06]

i thought i saw Rowan Atkinson..lol

[SaitanMar]

Red flag restarts on the grid sounds great, though I could see it causing some technical issues.

[geckoisgiko]

can you make your own F1 team?

[Armadillo0014]

@geckoisgiko

No. thats stupid.

[TheGamerKing14]

@geckoisgiko NO

[geckoisgiko]

@TheGamerKing14 OKAY!

[TheGamerKing14]

@geckoisgiko THATS OKAY! LOL

[djdavedoc]

Yeah I dont see why they cant do a realistic damage model either. The damage in GRiD is better than F1 2010!

[vampired305]

I'm all for no tire changes under red flag conditions - and agree with Steve 100% that that's how it should be in F1 too... however what about the opposite side of the field who did not save their tires, or did not save their fuel? If Vettel was not given the option to change his tires in Monaco this year - his fans would've been pissed when Alonso and Button likely would've overtaken him on the 2nd last or last lap :)

[bduddy55555]

Sounds like they did a great job... hopefully this leads to a greater appreciation in this and future F1 games of the finer points of F1 realism. If this is all done well it'll be a sure buy for me!

I'm curious... will there be a way to drive the safety car? Just for fun, not necessarily racing...

[djdavedoc]

@bduddy55555 Yeah, it will be possible when someone mod's the PC version! :)

[Wallbreaker91]

Maybe Steve´s most interesting interview this year.

[marcusRBR]

love it

[Partypaddo]

Mooi interview, bedankt gozer...helemaal top!!!

[imtheduke]

I guarentee 90% of players will turn off the SC within a month.

[DuRiTo09]

@imtheduke You don gaurautntee it..You dont know shit.

[ToolArmy951]

@imtheduke loll !

[seanalexanderdurand]

@imtheduke So how do you know what 90% of the players want? did you run a survey or poll? I doubt it.. cause honestly having the SC is one of the only reasons I'm getting it in the first place. I know for a fact I was not the only one to demand its inclusion. In my opinion, I believe more players will keep it turned on rather than off because most players are actually F1 fans and are aware of the SC's massive affect on real races making them incredibly exciting and unpredictable.

[MrBlackFamas]

Surely this isnt a game.. xD

[18matthardy]

RED FLAGS???  COOL

[wikke1984]

very nice :-)

[nintendolad]

"We weren't too sure how players were going to race one another"

It's obvious in hindsight, everybody wants to take you off in turn one and you're not allowed to pass before the other drivers drives right into you.

[multinips]

Why do the teams and FOM not want a realistic damage model? Is it revealing technical details, showing how fragile they are, or loss of logos? I don't know, it seems a little extreme.

[ajlepisto]

@multinips That's just how it works. That's the same reason that manufacturers don't want their cars bashed up in GT5 and Forza. They don't want their cars to appear to be poorly made...even though it doesn't make sense, they are afraid of scaring sponsors.

[GIANNHSPEIRAIAS]

@multinips

first of all you cant have a realistics crash model in f1 sims because they need to make all of the parts a bleed model to interract with the other cars..

[joostin123]

@multinips We all want realistic damage, showing how fragile the cars are. The damage in recent F1 games seem a bit unrealistic. The tires still stay on even after a big impact (Can fall off, but really hard to make them). We all want the wheels to dangle off the suspension and eventually fall off. Wishes, wishes...

[AMFForumvideo]

Can't wait for this game!! :D

[LLOYD19851012]

17 Days to go. Can't wait.

[89Bron]

I dislike the Dutch accent so much and yes I am Dutch myself.

Just sounds so bad when speaking English.

[carlos19951995carlos]

yes please, translate this to spanish, for the spanish fans.

si por favor, traducir esto al español para los fans españoles.

[xBaphometHx]

@carlos19951995carlos Dice básicamente que si habrá safety car y que se tendrá que cuidar la posición. No adelantar a nadie hasta que no cruce la linea antes de entrar a boxes.

Luego que habrá banderas rojas y que se recomenzarán las carreras al dar luz verde.

Y al final dice que los daños están algo "mejorados". Los coches serán algo más frágiles pero los equipos y la FOM no quieren que los daños sean totalmente realistas porque no quieren que sus coches queden completamente destrozados.

[carlos19951995carlos]

@xBaphometHx gracias por la información, el inglés si lo habla un español lo entiendo, pero si lo habla alguien tan bien, ni de coña, jajaja.

[xBaphometHx]

@carlos19951995carlos Nah. Es acostumbrarse al acento inglés xDDDD

[meechuacon]

Sweet, like that they added the safety car, makes the experience more true to life.

[Kangarillas]

This obsession over the safety car is getting a bit OTT! It's only a small part of the game!

I'm more interested knowing more about the handling and the physics of the game, tyre degradation and fuel consumption, pit stops etc because we'll be seeing these things every race, all race long.

[paprys81]

no engine settings during the race? -.-

[BrandzF1]

@paprys81 fuel mixture is basically the same, more fuel = more engine power

[Genius5251]

wet tyres BUG !! :@:@:@

[TheIvan9610]

in spanish please!!

[1993raptor]

0:38 really happened :D

[carlos19951995carlos]

please, anyone can subtitle this to spanish? thank you.

[ShenkieJ]

@carlos19951995carlos cago en tu leche

[carlos19951995carlos]

@ShenkieJ WTF???

[TheIvan9610]

@carlos19951995carlos lo qeremos subtitulado en español!

[MagnificentGeoffrey]

Ironic that the one thing I'm looking forward to most about this game involves driving slowly and not driving flat-out.

[tomvvor]

@MagnificentGeoffrey errr just switch safety car off lol

[MagnificentGeoffrey]

@tomvvor Err... I just said I'm looking forward to the SC - why would I want to switch it off? lol

[BloodMagex]

@tomvvor l2read

[kptk92]

Legend, thanks for uploading this

[cmpughy]

Woop :)
