[TheRealJakeKool]

HI GUYS !

Lookin forward to it. I bought a PLAYSEAT EVOLUTION (BLACK OF COURSE)

YEE HAW

Also rocking GP Legends @ 60fps with shifter support on the Logitech G25

GET IT GUYS !! with the track patches from GPLPL and GEM+ and the shifter patch, its fooken beautiful and smooth. Wow. I'd been missing out. Forget rFactor go get GPL demo

Google GPL 2004 and get the demo.. then you need an original CD to get the tracks.. $5 at a games store bargain bin keep an eye out for it

[Logicfray]

@TheRealJakeKool wanna rrace sometime? I play GPL all the time!!!

[TheRealJakeKool]

@Logicfray  soon as I get some skill, LOL. I can do alright, keep it on the road, but not ready for racing. Been 10yrs since I played GPL seriously...

[silva69sapo]

rich1701 fuck you codemasters is gona fuck r-factor fuck off CODEMASTERS IS THE BEST

[Alexgibbo5]

dude, codemasters suck....

[rich1701]

Guys... let me try and convert you back. No only does Rfactor have excellent physics you can race F1 seasons 1979, 1985, 1988, 1991, 1997, 2004, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09 in better graphics and Anti aliasing. No console game can come close to that.

[DominicSantiago123]

formula 1 is so fixed its unbelieveable also boaring btcc is much more exciting

[snowm0bile]

@DominicSantiago123 lol

[Ramnip]

Hey guys... perfection starts with perfect presentation...

The car on the start is a lotus renault V6 turbo of '85 or '86... but the sound in background isn't one of the turbo-era.

It's sounds like a Ferrari V12 aspirating engine in end of the 80th or former 90ies...

[jraybay]

what was codemasters last simulation game?

[Ter33a]

u fucking idiot it is all over game and play that it is out on ps3 and xbox fucking hell before you go blowing ur mouth off get ur facts right

[ccowap15]

pep looks ridiculously high

[rodrrico]

An F1 game that has arcade features and simulation will suck.

By the way, console is not for sim.. disapointing.

[deezomaxima]

@rodrrico Your opinion.

[rFactorF1Fan]

The opponents werent so difficult at F1 06 Ce...I finished a full race with a Midland at Nurburgring with the 3rd Place...this shows that the opponents werent as difficult as they should...I hope Codemasters is going to improve it...

[jraybay]

On hard difficulty no aids no wheel? you finished 3rd at nurburgring in midland?

[kiirr]

rFactor runs on intel igp lol!

It is a shame consoles are the platform publishers are pushing forward because they are not in fact better for consumers, they are just less affected by piracy so "safer" to invest in.

Current generation 'soles are now surpassed by average PCs. Developing has become problematic as games have to work on many platforms and average pc games are harder and harder to scale down compute-wise and memory-wise and directx has advanced generations

[240LHD]

WTF is wrong with you guys...

How the hell a company that created "GRID" (One of the most arcade game on earth - not far from NFS) could make a more realistic version of the previous F1 game on PS3 ?!?!?

[mangahead21]

For a really fun little arcade game check out NEW STAR GRAND PRIX, go to the forums, download the 2009 mod and race away. You won't regret it.

[letthebodiesfall]

all i know is the game engine is the same one as used in grid, the tracks are being developed by the team that made GP4.

[jraybay]

I found some pictures on the net :D . of tracks I found turkey and magny cours I believe. They were laser scans actually. and I also heard that they are going to use the same software that supported grid..........that means the game is going to suck :( .

[calfan3]

omg u fucking idiot.......have u not read what they are doing? just shut up

[jraybay]

omg u fucking prick........clear it up for me then asshole.

[calfan3]

yes they will use some of the things from other games...but it will be a simulator........they arent gonna put the same grid enginge in it.......so dont worry

[lumoruk]

it's just going to be another shitty Colin Mcrae Dirt game

[echoesroll]

Codemaster have to change the graphics if want to do something better than f1 gp on ps3 , if gonna loocks something like GRID F3000 cars , is sad , the shadows in the car is to dark , and the tars color all go to brown color , no good , if you compare F1 on ps3 by sony , the car details is so high resolution , also the tarmack ( asphalt ) Please CODEMASTER make something from same level to high , and more options on car view , dont show only the back of car , show the car !

[chadvader93]

i´ve asked codemasters and they answered that they´re just developping the game and that they can´t name any date of release. There are also no screenshots or trailers

[Supremedalek09]

october 2009

[Mclarenfan01]

not october '09 for sure, thats what people (including me) are assuming

[maestroaster]

when october 2009 then it comes out in half of year 2010 :-(

[strelec15]

october 2009

[maikcambuur]

when does it come out???

[TunesByTanzil]

I personally am still playing F106 on PS2 on Hard in Career. Won the WDC in Ferrari by 12 points in 4th season and leading S5 by about 8 points heading up to Spain. Only thing I hate are some tracks are impossible to win on and some are piss easy. Only a handful are good, ie Albs Park, Malay, Turkey, Brazil. Love your work guys :D G'day from ACT Aus!

[imnotellingyoumyname]

im playing F1 04 because i feel personally the most challenging

[TunesByTanzil]

AI sucks on that, career was WAY too easy. You should play F106 on hard career with 100% races :D Always great. I won the WDC with Ferrari but only in 4th season! Great challenge but frustrating sometimes keeping it on the island when PUSHING.

[bugattimatt]

will it be sold in the us. I want it so much

[Holden599GTB]

if not im gonna get it imported

[Rosvolainen]

Yes, it will. They stated that they are going to target it towards all gamers and I think that they even mentioned the US market in particular. Don't get me wrong but that worries me a bit (that they target it to everyone, not US). I don't think it should be impossible to play even if you aren't an expert on racing games but I'd really want it to be a good adaptation of F1 and as realistic and possible rather than an generic racing game that happens to have F1 cars, drivers and tracks.

[MROTHWELL94]

the guy on the right reminds me of moby...

in a good way btw

[kylieminoguerocks]

when is going to be released thats all i care about this year is THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!! im dying for it once it is on my ps3 im going to love it likes its my baby by the way i love formula 1 and always watch it live no matter what time of day its on and i think ill go to a formula 1 grand prix one day formula 1 rules!!!!

[topski100]

F1 2003 you could have some MASSIVE crashes - just a point, aint important....

[Bmants]

K31TH3R: You make it sound so easy, but for each adjustment you have to go on the track and try every one and if this includes getting the tires warm you can lose a lot of driving time learning a track. I dont suggest predefined setups but what if you can make your adjustments on the fly without pulling into the pits?

[topski100]

F1 on the N64 when you could carry on even with damage

[Bmants]

I am a decent driver that gets beaten by geeks that can do set up. Someone should include and engineer that helps with setup in these sims.

[K31TH3R]

No, then you get predefined setups. Not cool. learning to set up the car is pretty easy, there are really only a few settings you need to worry about.

>tire pressure

>spring rate

>camber

>toe in/out

make small adjustments to those and you can really change how the car responds.

[shadowolfMK]

exackly, its the same with Gran Turismo 5, it does help when you change the settings to what you like but I can never get the most out of it, I just keep tweeking untill I get it right

[TunesByTanzil]

The default setting on the F1 car in GT4 is pretty garb. No camber, silly suspension and some other bits. You do have to play with it a bit but it's fun and find some nice tracks to mess about on! Also play with Toe in Toe out, makes a world a difference!!

[BAREEVAR]

От EA SPORTS все равно игра лучше была в сто раз!!!!COdemasters ГАВНО!!!!!!!!!

[2006asw]

did you say you own rfactor.

[modeldrive]

F1 game 2009 when will it out

[suzuki400boi]

Codemaster's! Can we get a monster truck game? Every single monster truck game that has ever game out has been terrible! I want simulation, Good physics not soo arcade style. Im not so much asking for a 'whole' game with nothing but monster trucks, But maybe that as a racing class. Maybe some ppl don't like monster truck's but i think they kick ASS!

[ww84oppl]

Monster trucks were in Toca Race Driver 3 or Colin McRae DIRT (really can't recall in which one of them). Well there were at least a couple of races.

[Ragingkillerke]

Toca Race Driver 3

[Toyotex]

the most exciting era was the 80´s great drivers and turbo engined powerful cars.. not really interested in modern era f1. but if the game is flexible enough for mods then i welcome it but with race driver grid engine it won´t be easy

[Toyotex]

ok so if they make a pc f1 game they´ll use race driver grid engine that´s not very exciting news for mod makers

[jomardi72]

sorry for my slow english kkk

[Eddlikes99]

Simulation??..you bloody hope! going on previous versions of the f1 franchise releases..i'll believe it when i play it! Majority of people buying this will most likely be console owners with joypads.. imagine trying to drive full sim mode eg..no traction etc on a joypad?..nightmare!..possible but frustrating. Just pray cdemstrs bottom line does not dictate a bias towards arcade feel..imo profit rulz! Chk blimey games (ferrari Project) as a likely contender for sim flagship & Atari 10tacle

[Raptor222222]

if it comes out also for xbox360 or ps3 then they wont be able to make a realistic f1 game for computer-gamers, and thats sick :(

[TrojanTM69]

I don't like playing racing games on the PS3, my thumb hurts after holding the X and using the analogue stick to accelerate isn't really accurate enough. I'll be one of the first in the queue at my local shop to get this game on the 360.

[sufc08]

dont hold the X use the right analogue stick

[TrojanTM69]

I don't like using the right analogue stick because if the analogue stick is going slightly to the left or right then I am not giving full throttle.

[sufc08]

fair enough

[benwilliams2008]

no, he's wrong, you just have to reduce the deadzone so that the game allows you to go to the left or right a touch. also the x butten can only produce 4 levels of throttle whilst the stick can produce almost unlimited

[sufc08]

ok cheers

[XboxLiveAnchorman]

It is great to finally have a F1 racing title on the Xbox 360 - not just restricted to PS as it has been for a number of years now. I know that Codemasters has run with an arcade theme for the past two years (and even before then) but they remain adament that they will provide a simulation racer for gamers in 2009 - I have no reason to doubt them. I am sure it will turn out to be an awesome and detailed racing title that will please all racing aficionados.

[AquafreshContest]

hmm

I dont know i dont like the f3 cars on grid. I hope they dramatically change that around...

[robbieKOPlegend]

been a fan of f1 games since i was little i still remeber fi 96 god :| lol f1 06 was good but boring!! after all this time im glad someone is developing a f1 game ocme on codemasters...i hope they make it relaistic..bring it more behind the scenes stuff maybe i dno possibility 2 be a manger sign drivers test driver analyse resuls possibly or maybe thats best left 4 a speeprate game..cant wait 2 have raikkonen at ferrari finaly :D

[xXxlllManHacklllxXx]

Realistic? haha it will be another piece of shit arcade game just like GRID. Codemaster is only caring about money not realism... If you want realism then look for rFactor, GTR, Life For Speed, Richard Burns Rally. But with rFactor there are plenty of mods you can add to the game like F1 mods...

[jomardi72]

you are right if codemaster makes F1 must make not same as shit games GRID and COLIN MCRAE only grafic work is prefect but shit gameeplay. i was will by happy if thi F1 will make SIMBIN group. so i hope codM will make all good not arcade for kids F1 not for kids... :)

[arsenalrclass93]

yes its true codemasters are currently developing an f1 game its due early/mid 2009

[TheLewisHamilton]

not sure about codemasters they get the speed of the cars wrong

[oslakovic]

codemasters will never beat rfactor...good graphics doesent mean better game...how good physics are, thats most important(atleast for me)...but i will try f109...

[MintAs94]

Oslakovic - But the drivers in rFactor don't even have any hands.

[Gamerdudeeee]

finally i love f1 games

[eagleeyes86]

ZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZ......

Soo lame u put a "cool pic" in the middle of both movies.. Booooooooring, nothing new said from the forums..

[F1Podcast]

LOL - so sorry to disappoint you! Not a fan of "cool pics" eh?

After watching this video for just a few seconds most people would realise it's simply our opinions on this subject. (Pep)

[eagleeyes86]

Who told u i didn't realise?

btw, i liked the pic, but it just isnt "cool" to get ppl to watch the vid this way! ;)

[MZvajda]

Why but it seems to me that you are fraudsters. The racing game you do not know anything and you get a licence to F1. You should be from Image Space Incorporated as a lot to learn. And now, I just mean rFactor and F1 challenge 99-02, in which you can add all kinds of racing modes. Many doubt about that your game is as good as rFactor, but let the surprise. If you are therefore not members of Codemasteru and only you to play here.

[jraybay]

there will be an f1 game for xbox??. this is true???

[me35656]

for 360 definately, not sure about the original xbox

[finazbuzzin2k8]

i ana, they never do one for the 360

[jraybay]

I half been told that they are making xbox version :D

[kindred666]

Thats because Sony have the rights to Formula One games till either 2009 or 2010, can't remember.

[aelohinjuz]

Codemasters the best!

[fathobbit123]

I'm really happy that there will finally be an F1 game on Xbox 360, does anyone know when its coming out

[damaster316]

I hope Codemaster do a good job iam sure they will, Id love an F1 game to have a year selection say from 1970 to current, would love to race in 1994 as senna and win the Championship like he would of done, had he not bein killed. RIP senna..

[F1Podcast]

Great comments mate. I'm sure they'll do a good job and I love your suggestion of picking a year to race in. - Max

[nathan0401]

i think GRID and DIRT were both great games and yeah so what if they had arcade handling they were just great so i have the upmost confidense that they will do a great job with F1 especially the crashes they can't get much worse than studio liverpools attempts on championship edition u could not even roll the car!!!!

[F1Podcast]

I tried rolling a car in F1 06 CE but couldn't. I figured with my shit driving an' all that it'd be easy for me ;) - Max

[mcsaltens]

codmasers do arcade shit games so expect this to be as an arcade, its physics will suck!

[F1Podcast]

Codemasters say they are changing their tune.

The exec. producer said on their forum "I just want to stop you all from panicking too much. GRID and DiRT are aimed at an arcade audience and they do that very well. F1 has different requirements and will get a completely different treatment from our in-house team, including full on sim options, physics, rules and regs etc. We will also have arcade requirements catered for as well. How this will be split we do not know yet, but split it will be."

[dreamcast98]

For me Codemasters are going slightly backwards with their racing games. GRIDs handling stlye certainly is unique. It better deliver big on its first F1 game. No half arsed attempt either.

I loved Toca 2 and 3 and the older generation Colin McRae games are for me a lot better than this generations attempts.

It worries me as i believe Codemasters just think about mass market (Like Dirt and GRID)instead of what they used to deliver, with realistic racing titles.

[mois2202]

i like everything that bret said yet if your nose cone detaches from the car, you would either get black flagged or crash because you didnt fix it.

[aaron9099]

is the guy on the left with us, or in his own world?

[jraybay]

I'm pretty sure ea made all the ps2 f1 games. unless they just put there name on the cover and let studio x produce it.

[alih15]

Really happy now...bought every F1 game but its coming out 2009...that ages away! :(

[JoeyWWERemix]

I really want this to be on Ps2....no chance :(

[mb944]

the game better come out in northamerica too not just europe.

[bretdoom123456789]

Codemasters Please:

DO NOT make Formula 1 cars handle like GRID cars

DO make the Formula 1s sound amazing

DO include past tracks such as Adelaide

DO include a safety car

DO NOT have a half arsed online like CE

DO include past cars like in CE

DO include 'scenario' races e.g 4 laps to go, your front wing has just broken off, 20 secs in the lead try and win.

DO continue to improve your damage engine and make crashes spectacular(as in real F1)

DO let me speed down pit lane, then penalise me

[1STNA]

yeah i really don't like how cars handle in GRID it sucks!!!

[jraybay]

SAVE US FROM EA CODEMASTERS!. you can do it! :D . make the best f1 game to date pliss :D

[polarbear19955]

i cant wait to buy f1 codemasters

[Scaura90]

if this game turns out anything like racedriver i will kill someone

[palace00123]

yeah, i think the game would be better with the safety car included. i also think it would be good if you actually had to control the speed of the car down the pitlane and have to steer the car into the space.

and i think that you should be able to watch the whole of the podium video. and... if you have a pitstop and you crash on your outlap and you have to come in again, i don't think you should have to refill the car with fuel

[jamiegriffithsisGAY]

i agree wi longshot

[longshot14]

[F1Podcast]

Nice one longshot - those are some great suggestions! Type into Google "codemasters f1 forum" and then click the first link. They are asking for our feedback. I'm going to send them LOT'S of stuff! (Pep)

[batfink92]

good points longshot

[longshot14]

F1:CE has had rumble since the start of the year, the software update 2.35 had nothing to do with enabling rumble for F1:CE

[facanacaveira22]

porra sempre entro em video desses caras que só querem aparecer , já vi um deles dizendo que o f1 2007 seria lançado pela liverpool studios da sony ,e a sony nem tinha adquirido os direitos autorais , tudo que eles falam é mera especulação .

[DRIFTCKOWN]

Best F1 game.

Grand Prix Legends. Oh how i miss that game..

[nonomachine44]

The best console F1 game is Grand Prix Challenge for PS2 hands down.

[green95gt]

gtr2 is pretty good. although there are no f1 cars of course and only a handful of the circuits. i need to give rfactor a go.

[hubbelltyson]

Good to see you take a pretty balanced view. It's summed up well by saying that consoles are best for pick up and play but rFactor is best if you want to go into extreme detail and want the most realistic and unforgiving handling. Hopefully Codemasters will do a sound job of satisfying those that want a more accessible and hassle free experience. Some people seem to get carried away and think it's a case of right or wrong when it's really just about taste and what you want from the game.

[vidmanx0]

No company has ever managed to make a fun game that's accessible yet still pleases the simulation crowd. That same crowd hated all of the TOCA games so I doubt that Codies can pull off an F1 sim.

I've played rFactor in an online league and it was exhilarating but it just soaked up way too much time trying to get the most out of it and it just doesn't have the graphical polish and atmosphere of F1 on PS3. It also needs a colossal PC just to look respectable.

[rhombushead]

So pleased that Sony have lost it finally - Codemasters are proven that they can design games with decent physics. Personally, GP4 is still my game of choice- espcially for driving in the wet. Good old Crammond!

[Jellybeantiger]

Crammond mate!

My first simming revelation was F1gp on the old Amiga a500.

[kris144]

Brilliant news for those people like myself with an xbox 360!

[F1Podcast]

You said it mate, very exciting! - Max

[oli3165]

i've downloaded rfactor, though it took about 5 days to download lol, it's cause my laptop has a wirless connection to my main computer

[Kabronyproductions]

i played grid graphic wise its the best out there as well as the interface. but simulation wise very arcadish....Hopefully the can please the simulation crowd for f1 racers, cant wait

[saunallezellite]

It needs someone to design a F1 game who is actually into F1.They should ask the gamers what they want and then run it by them before the game is released.

PS, you set your cars up better than i do!.

[F1Podcast]

Agree mate. It'd be great if they set up a blog or something so fans could write in on what they like/hate. - Max

[patav2]

You can do that in the codemasters forums on the upcoming F1 game

[bartool]

I agree with you. I like my rfactor, and setting up a car IS a bitch, thank god you can get setups online. Since I don't own a console I am very much looking forward to the new F1 game on PC, even if it is more arcade then rfactor.

[oli3165]

i live near codemasters, can't wait!

[F1Podcast]

Maybe you can sneak around the factory and look in a few windows with a digital camera! Only joking - Max ;)

[marcrpearson101]

Im still playing f1 2000 on the ps1 lol!

[F1Podcast]

Live in the now (apologies to Wayne's World)!!! - Max

[Formula1Zone93]

wooooo can't wait for this game :D
