F1 2010: A first look

[polish23]

IS A STEERING WHEEL A MUST FOR THE GAME

[1mbA4ever]

@polish23 it actually is.. if you turn off all the aids, with your keyboard it's nearly unplayable or better I say hard and unfunny to play, 'cause Forcefeedback makes the whole thing funnier. If you wanna accelerate you have to push smoothly the accelerator, else you just slide away and make some donuts :P

but I got 2 Questions to TeamVVV just about the wheel...

1) which one do you use? it looks pretty good!

2) how expensive is it?

[F12010Team]

guys how to change team in career mod??plz reply this as fast as u can.. Thanks.

[kinesas101]

Its full of bugs dude the game dont work when i try to load the saves all it says is corrupted data ...Codemasters say they building a patch...its a waste of cash...There are big problems with the game dont know how they can get away with selling a Beta...Al there vids are full of lies winds me up!

[ranny169]

how comes you got this game before it come out

[14469]

Respect good video mate game is my favourite :)))) no comment

[gold333]

The game is completely arcade. Check the hundreds of dissapointed posts on codemasters forums. You drop the clutch at 18000rpm in first and all you get is 3ft of rubber and the car mysteriously grips every time. Handling physics is geared towards 12 year olds. Incredible that a game that looks this good handles so arcade. The difficulty curve is measured in rapidity of operation, i.e. how violently and accurately you can turn the wheel. It's difficulty has nothing to do with throttle control.

[veigadevil]

@gold333 it feels like it... lets continue to play gtr evolution...

if you turn in a f1 car without speed you will spin this guy turns the wheel to the max and the car grips xD

tires made of glue!

[TrollUtube]

@gold333

If it was so arcade I would easily stay on track I don't think so. The 12 yrolds spend more time in the CM forums having meltdowns.

[awesa]

@gold333 If they made it a full on simulation, you would hardly be able to drive it at all. It's a video game, meant for enjoyment of the widest possible spectrum of users not a physics simulator. The game rules.

[gold333]

@awesa Explain to me how a game that lets you floor the throttle in 1st from standstill in -MONSOON- conditions, still allows you to accelerate like it was a dry track, is anything but totally arcade?

[awesa]

@gold333 I don't no mate. i'm sure there's plenty pple out there dissapointed just like you, but i'd like to think that majority are just enjoying the game in spite of its flaws. For f1 simulation look elswhere. For total entertainment- play Codemasters' f1 2010. Cheers.

[2pokerking]

f1 1 fan i am this game will be great im geting it

[keisgomez]

men is very difficult to drive with the original control?

[mclarenfanuk]

Nice vid and good to see sum one can drive lol

[Alexandros164]

what about settings on your drivewheel? u can share the settings? thanks.

[jontexswe]

im so dissapointed at this game, the handling is 100 times better in Rfactor... And the traction control......... you can flat out in the middle of any corner without spinning off... terrible terrible game

[bethsqeak]

oh this makes me want a big tele. Mine is 19

[badgerman1975]

Hi,

We use the official xbox wheel, what is the difference between that and what you are using?

[nomanno]

any good steering wheels can u recommand me? Logitech Driving Force GT?

[DeeSwizzle]

Great job and terrific coverage of this game!

[NapalmCandy]

Why the official triler has steering lag? it is like GRID?....

This will see a game with very good graphics but tremendously unrealistic physics and driving feeling

[Gamez4Lif3]

WOW the game looks So fucking awesome!!!

so how'd you get it this early? :O

pre order?!

[PS3GameProductions]

Dude, could you do, a Lotus around Malaysia, and a Toro Rosso around Suzuka for me? 2 of my favourite teams and tracks, it'd be good if you could reply and let me know if you'll ever get around to doing this for me? :)

[TheMaluc]

your drive is not bad

[merk247]

was wondering what do the symbols next to the leaderboard times mean? abs n trac?

[MTheManB]

Hi man, i just saw your videos and it's only me or all the cars sounds are the same?. Game Looks awesome.. a MUST HAVE!!

[Fifaburgio]

@TeamVVV

Is the driving with all aids off like rfactor or something ???

how is the Wheel Feeling ??? driving Feeling ??

[PLJuve94]

Great driving mate... this game does look amazing...

i wanted to ask you if you could do a video for monza with fernando alonso.... just wanted to see the track and the new graphics... thanks mate all the best...

[dreamcast98]

Good stuff. Just hope they'll be a mod community for the PC version.

[nam212]

This game is not out untill next week

[09173286832]

how did you f1 early

[Foxman196]

@09173286832 because he pre ordered it, i will have it maybe tomorrow

[09173286832]

pls do career 

[bbhebe]

yeahhh I WANNA SEE A VID WITH 100% DAMAGE...

[FoggyEFCfoy]

Graphics look quality, what would you say was your best car you tried and best track?

[OfficialBenji]

So realistic.. How hard it was just to get the power down on turn one!

[AznWorldWidePride]

bahrian, sepang,turkey,singapore plz XD if u can show them in your next vids thats would be lovely then i think ive seen all the tracks and what do u know about the graining on the tryes

[iiTuRnZii]

were did you buy the game

[Dolggan]

One thing concerns me:

The delay between the real steering wheel and the virtual one.

Why the hell all Codemasters racing games have that fucking delay?!?

In F1, miliseconds can define the victory or the defeat...

[tkiferrari]

i would love to see a few laps on bahrain

[dessie111111]

can i use my logitech g25 on the 360v or just ps3 & pc?? thnx

[jambomarc]

What AI difficulty were u racing on there? Cheers!

[MrNeemz]

could you do a review on the carrer mode? like what differences from 2006?

[bethsqeak]

Can you play without a steering wheel? And anyone know of a steering wheel and pedals for xbox, cheaper than £50?

[supercooled]

@TeamVVV can you use the right analog stick to look around (free roam) like some racing games? I wonder if it's possible to use the side mirrors in cockpit mode.

[ZimmermanTelegram]

I bet he's got the club sport pedals :)

[Ferrariman601]

You're pretty good considering this is one of your first times playing the game.

How does the driving compare with F1 CE?

[TeamVVV]

@Ferrariman601 I've played a lot of driving games and as a keen F1 fan know the courses well. This doesn't compare to any other console F1 game when the assists are off, its a big step.

[OrangeCrushUK]

So why can't the input to processor be instant for wheel???

[macpac22]

great video, interesting to see how ill get on with the PS3 version and the logitech DFGT

[TrollUtube]

Game must be good his output is zero ;)

[TruenoandLevin86]

Question, will you show us a quick look at the damage modeling in the next video?

[TeamVVV]

@TruenoandLevin86 crash videos to come ;)

[Szabics9]

At first, I want that wheel :D

And second, you are really good ;)

[LooneyJuice]

1.46 on. Finally someone who explains the same thing i keep preaching about. Yes, your eyes compensate for every bump. Exaggerated head movement in a cockpit is just plainly wrong. And good review.

[Mattinho7]

Reckon you could put up a career break down as in what teams are available to use at the start for the 3, 5, 7 seasons?

[TeamVVV]

@Mattinho7 I can look into that, suffice to say I started a 3 year Season and chose Williams, I remember seeing Force India there too.

[Garrison64]

I love TT driving with the ghost car. Can't wait to do a whole bunch of this on my favorite tracks. So glad they included this mode.

[metzgerov]

awesome mate. Could you show the career mode please

[ac3uk]

great video... cheers

[bunnyinabasket2]

fantastic !! thanks !

[OrangeCrushUK]

Cool I just went to SIlverstone last (did some filming) with Mika Hakkien >>

vimeo .com/14931254 :) he was a nice guy.

[Calum643]

I NEED to se a proper vid on damage!

[OrangeCrushUK]

Why do games have lag input anyway whats the point? it should be razor sharp and instant? shouldnt it?

[PenquinDude]

@OrangeCrushUK Because signals can't travel from the controller to the processor instantaneously, and the the processor needs to process the input it receives, which is also not instantaneous. Or in other words, because video games do not violate the laws of physics. :p

[Machuquinator]

Thanks for the vid.

Unfortunately the steering lag is beyond pathetic :(.

[F1DanielCook95]

Any Chance of a Crash video?

[notoriousluv]

Great vid, subbed. Why did you get a penalty for running slightly wide in sector 3 on your fastest lap? Seemed harsh, there was no time advantage by doing that. Also when you ran wide at exit of the tight apex a little earlier I saw the B&W flag come out. If the penalty's are that strict in the race it'll ruin it for me.

[TheSlimStoner]

Great Video Alan, Can't wait for this. I'm always jealous of you getting such great games early. Good driving too mate.

VVV Slim

[50cent7589]

wow, thanks for uploading, bro. I hope I can see more from you... ofc about F1

[kestrelprodigal21]

Very nice. thanks for posting look forward to seeing more!

[TeamVVV]

New video should be up in a couple of hours, I ran a race weekend at Suzuka, sorted my car through practice, saved my option tyres till the top 10 shootout then got a drive through penalty at the start, couldn't find my pit lane limiter button and got another penalty, Webber lost the race. :) So you'll see Suzuka in the dry then my first lap of Suzuka in the wet, very challenging indeed.

[andrewrogers]

@TeamVVV Hey Mars its Busa

Game looks great, and the news that the speed limiter is in the xbox version is awesome. Was wondering if you could do a video about the way the game handles etc, Cheers and have fun

[lb99901]

@TeamVVV thanks...I can't wait for it

[steveworrellmusic]

Hey, nice driving.

One thing I am really curious to see is the damage model. I am praying that the cars are fragile so u have to drive well and not just bump of other cars and Walls at 100mph.

I hope u can make this a video or incorporate damage in to a video.

Cheers

Sw

[longshot14]

Hey bru, great video and nice driving. I haven't seen any footage yet from Australia so if you could do one of Melbourne that woud be great! Thanks.

[Sugargirl95]

Where dit you got it 

[Sugargirl95]

Wher dit you got it 

[garethkielty]

i hate delays between steering wheel inputs, and the game turning. it happened in race 07 and codemasters have copied it

[SentoukiEX]

@garethkielty Yeah that was annoying

[joncala8ferrari]

make a video in Marina Bay, please! :)

[JMoelhave]

Could you please show off al the helmets featured. A by the way could we have a lop off the Lotus around Silverstone? Thanks in advance

[OrangeCrushUK]

Wheres part 2? and please check questions at start of thread.

[zaperdee]

@vvgamer can you comment on the handling of the car? How does it compare to the feeling of say microprose gp4 or f1:ce? Better/worse?

[Leigho79]

Awesome video! I can't wait to play this game!

[Jaydz619]

Can we see a quick race at Monza with Fernando?

Cheers!

[spooky78]

you dont know the right gears on the corners..

[tumtum390]

really neat, good driving.

[angelsdarkside]

do you know if you can pick your own helmet design when you start a career?

[SmudooO]

The best F1 2010 video i have seen yet! Thank you! can not wait to see the race week-end video.

[SynGamer]

Have you calibrated your wheel? It appears you need to up the sensitivity, that should reduce *some* of the lag.

[futixix]

i dont know why you have a copy of the game and me not, this is a fair world, i will pay for that and you not, this way is to easy to appear in leaderboard!

[91usmcsniper91]

please get ure vid out 2day i need more!

[SoundOfThePounding]

Alright mate. Good video, nice to see someone who can actually drive a car in the game.

Quick question: At 5:22 are you making a change to the wheel or are you scratching your balls? Just curious...

[TeamVVV]

@SoundOfThePounding defintaly not enough time for a ball rummage, but I'm sure it was something important. ;)

[Wingwalkermusic]

@SoundOfThePounding i'd say ball scratching.... what many people don;t realise is that in real life when you see drivers adjusting the brake bias they're actually pulling a lever that scratches their balls.

[09173286832]

@SoundOfThePounding of course he is sracthing his balls since he got f1 2010 early next bext thing is to have a orgasm

[SAFFY7411]

@SoundOfThePounding Scratching balls by the look of things lol

[rasti95]

Plopp - 15G :D Nice Video, finally someone who can drive! in all those other videos the drivers suck! THANKS!

[AFCTecnico]

Nice vid mate. Can you do a replay next?

[xACGaming]

Have you got any more videos coming today?

[TeamVVV]

@xACGaming working on a race weekend video as we speak :)

[xACGaming]

@TeamVVV Awesome, what track?

[TheDjrickysmith]

a video about full damage would be nice mate codies havnt shown us alot so far.

[togalogs]

How do you see the mirrors from the cockpit view? is there a look left/right option like other racing sims?

[TrollUtube]

Great video thanks for posting... Roll on 24th just like xmas...

Shame there is no input lag on this comments section. Clowns.

[oOBeaverzOo]

I see input lag. But it's still far better than NFS Shift. That game is horrible and undriveable!

This one seems to be just a graphical lag like in Grid or Dirt 2, when you turn the wheel you're gonna feel the car is actually digs in to the corner but hands are still there.

[TeamVVV]

Just a note on the input lag guys, I'll be making a video with the steering settings. The default does have a 5% deadzone with steering saturation at 100%, so you can reduce that in increasing sensitivity. On saying that it would be nice to have say a 3% deadzone but the game only works in chunks of 5% at a time.

[jez5555]

@TeamVVV can you confirm the input lag we are seeing and can you dial it out?

[camx660]

@TeamVVV thanks for the vid looks great.could you please do a video around Melbourne in a race with some damage footage.btw: is this the final code or still preview?

[Dcully]

@TeamVVV Thanks for your words about the input lag, eased my mind as i have this preordered on steam for pc.

[jez5555]

Hugely disappointing input lag on the wheel. They found a way to ruin the game after all.

[brtvenom]

lol at davegws obviously an eliteist pc gamer who has no clue

[brtvenom]

alan can you do a few laps around monaco in the wet cheers ill chat to u online

[bosspedal]

looks waaaaay too easy

[schischamstart]

ah alright xbox version.. but wtf is this input lag?

[schischamstart]

is this PC version?

[Damian375]

@schischamstart Xbox 360.

[davegws]

INPUT LAG INPUT LAG INPUT LAG INPUT LAG INPUT LAG INPUT LAG...

Why do all racing games for mass audience have terrible input lag? If I only had one suggestion for developers, it would be make sure input response is as instant as possible. Anything else ruins the connection you can have with the vehicle.

[SeladorCellardoor]

@davegws I wonder whether that lag is a characteristic of the xbox, and whether it's ok on the PC. I haven't read of any problems caused by lag, and if all versions were like this I'm sure I would have.

[Minisuth]

Would be nice to see silverstone or singapore in the wet:)

[Dcully]

The consoles are stuck on 30 fps

[imtheduke]

Im very interested to hear your thought on the handling/physics. Is it sim-like with the assists off? A couple of laps around suzuka and singapore would be great too!

[intense40]

Nice video that mate! Cheers!

Would love to see a full qualifying session if possible?

Dan

[Haga2]

Very jealous right now, Alan!!!

[RWY32L]

It seems frame rate is quite low for xbox version :-(

[dmrk42]

very cool video thanks nice to see somebody that knows what they are doing i have subbed and looking forward to more.

i would like you see you do a race weekend with practice, qualy and the race any track but would like monza

[Dcully]

Looks like lots of input lag plus he is just throwing the cars into the corners,not very realistic.

Looks far too easy to me with all aids on unless Alan is a fantastic sim racer.

[zudthespud]

I'd like to see some footage of the damage model, high speed impacts and such, and some races.

[UKOGjonboy]

Great review so far, thanks for taking the time to put this up, is there any chance in one of your next vids that you could show the button configurations in action. I'm particularly interested in the 360 & PS3 versions and also use a Fanatec wheel (You may have seen my 12 episode Fanatec review vids) I'd really like to see the Movable front wing in action if that's at all possible, also I saw on the McLaren you were driving there was an "F" Duct, is it useable in the game?....Thanks

John

[creamylord]

It would be nice to see Silverstone so we can compare with iRacing.

[forza941]

With the requests maybe you could show us some crash and tyre wall physics?

[Uff182]

Abu Dhabi on a Toro Rosso would be great! :D Also can you tell us how different it is to drive a McLaren from a Toro Rosso, a Lotus etc? Thanks for the vid!

[Kamrum]

Is there an input lag ? Or is it just the stuttering of the ingame wheel?

[willski1221]

@Kamrum Looks like it's not synced up properly is all.

[angelsdarkside]

hey could you do a video showing us the start of teh career mode? maybe seeing if you get different starter car choices depending on how many years you pick to do? thanks

[PzRSlim]

Great video and nice to actually see a video with somebody who knows how to handle a car after all the vids of useless drivers. Most important thing I want to know, how does it handle, where does it sit in terms of current games.

[insaneJericho]

How would you rate the driving physics, particularly against something like Forza & Grid?

[S0171238]

This is really an amazing video !! great comments man !

[iluvworldofwarcraft]

man now that i watch this again, it sounds like he's about to snap a gearbox chain or something with all his revving...well at least he is using the soft tires, which r the best when making fastest lap times so at least he knows something about formula one...k question, in time trial mode will the track "rubber up" after putting multiple laps on it or is the track at constant grip level?

[TheAUNIT1]

Silverstone in a force india possible pls?

[simobgbgbg]

you suck at gear changing and braking and driving! Why do you bother at all LOL?

[maltonbranch]

@simobgbgbg Why be a prick? grow up FFS

[blenga2]

Thx for the video, the best I have seen so far !

I think it would be nice to see some laps around Melbourne indeed, as I think it has not been shown yet. Or maybe Suzuka !

One of the two please :)

[ps3Storm3sp]

I can not wait to get my hands on this game.

[BurtisaWord]

Please show some crashes at hardest difficulty and full damage. Thx a lot!

[BenjaminHaakShow]

can you show the helmets for career mode on the game please =]

[echoespaul]

Nice video, good to see someone who knows how to drive test this game. Any chance of some race footage? In particular how good/bad the AI is?

[iluvworldofwarcraft]

haha he kinda looks like Frank from Dead Rising =D...but anyways this game looks beautiful and finally a PROPER video of the game being played correctly, just 6 days left :)

[woodins2008]

@iluvworldofwarcraft

"I've covered video games you know" lol

[Facepalm4me]

invalidated lap for coming out a bit wide? hmm

[iluvworldofwarcraft]

@Facepalm4me hey makes the game more challenging, it's fine in my book

[mostertpot17]

@Facepalm4me If you come out a bit wider there, and you do it just right, you could in theory win time because you take more speed on to the full throttle part that follows.

And that's not completely fair IMHO

[alexvangeen]

is there a part 2?

[jazzthafunk]

So...is this the "release final version?" If it is...there is still HUGE!!!!! lag in the steering.

[daimob]

Korea would be good to see (being a new track) as would melbourne.

[Gillysbiggestfan]

Would love to see Melbourne mate. Don't think there are any out there.

Cheers.

[OrangeCrushUK]

Question : Do the different teams actually feel different to handle?

Question : Whats your opion on the audio 5.1 and car audio?

[longshot14]

You have an Alonso mouth

[OrangeCrushUK]

Question : How do you find it controls with a 360 pad? not everyone has a wheel.

Question : What's your opion on the 360 grx?

And thanks for upload.

[tjon901]

Ive been waiting for this.

[IxIqpIxI]

Where did all the color go? O.o Looks Majorly Colorless. :(

[wooterz]

@IxIqpIxI It's the camera...

[IxIqpIxI]

@wooterz - It can't be the camera cuz the foreground has alot of color, while the screen in the background doesn't.
