I cant believe that these types of games still get sold, wonder what region that they get enough sales for the developers to continue making them.

That was pretty crazy. I didn't think they would go that in-depth with the world of F1 racing. Watch what you say to the press? In a racing video game? Strange.

I really hope this is going to be good, I haven't played a F1 game in a long while. I only came back into F1 this season really, so a nice F1 game would be nice to have alongside my newly awakened interest.

they actually got me mildly exited for an f1 game, kodus for good marketing when i see it  
@will: sure it gets sold! especially because of the incredible shortage of sim racing on the ps3!  
plus f1 is big in europe.

I'm a huge F1 fan, and have more than a couple of F1 games, so can say with some certainty that providing this game reviews well, I'll add it to my list. It's a shame that once again an F1 game will come with terrible human models. I don't know why they always look so poor. It'll be interesting to see if you can still get from last to first in one straight though, like in the old games.

@IronScimitar: CodeMasters have confirmed there will be no demo of the game due due to licensing issues of a unfinised game, so you know who the blame; The FIA.

Yeah I hope my race engineer calls me during the race and asks me to pull over for my teammate.  A1 realism right there.
 
Regardless I will be buying this day one unless it's garbage, which it doesn't look like it is.
 
Think it's coming out next month..

Haha. In the unlikely event that that does happen, I'm blatantly going to ignore them and totally lose my cool when speaking to the media. I wonder if the media side of things will get repetitive, though. I mean, surely there's only a finite number of questions the game can implement?
 
Anyway, I'm liking what I've seen so far. Codemasters has a solid track record, so I'm definitely interested in it.

I think this is going to be good fun. Its not going to be a hardcore f1 sim so if you looking for that maybe wait until Rfactor 2 comes out.  
 
For what i have seen in the trailers and Dev diary's it looks like CM has found a perfect balance between arcade and sim racing. There is going to be something for the conservative sim racer and some for the open minded newcomer. Also the visuals is probably going to be nice since it uses the EGO engine that Dirt 2 and Grid used and those are good looking games i think. 
 
Edit: One person asked if there is going to be a demo and the answer is No.  
Edit 2: An other compared this to GT5. These two games are so far from each other. You cant compare any road car to an F1 car

I don't really like the Dirt/GRID color palette in this game. I understand those games, but this? Really? How can it look worse than a race I'm watching on my HDTV (again, talking about the color palette)

Been waiting for the next Codemasters racing game.  I haven't played many F1 games, but I am very intrigued, and totally want to jump into the genre.

@dagas: Made up statistic is wrong... 
 
They've definitely captured the look of F1 with this game but I really hope they've got the on track action right as well. While I appreciate being given guidance on setup for different tracks I'd still like to have the freedom to mess it up completely if I want to. 
 
Also I'm not too sure about the emphasis on off track action but it could be kinda interesting if they gave you RPG style dialogue trees for the press conferences. I'd have my driver say "for sure" no matter what the question was.

Man I so hope Codemaster's show them how it's done,  I so miss that show, just hearing this music brings tears to my eyes, it's not the same without, "TEAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" RIP, always loved you, I would give you a £1000 just to make another episode, I like the fact only me and bkfountain know what we are on about.

Reminds me a lot of TOCA Race Car driver, only without the progression to F1. I do think that being an F1 game, it's nice that they spent more time talking about the stuff that isn't racing, because as every F1 fan knows, the race is just a parade.

Oh how I wish Codemasters make this a good game, after all the first games I ever played were Codemasters Amstrad CPC games. 


Sadly it is a F1 game which means it will be rubbish, I love F1 but there has never been a decent F1 game. It is a bit like Star Trek, the is a great game hidden in the concept somewhere but is takes thirty odd attempts  to find it.
