The Weather of F1 2010

looks good though prolly not for me, prefer my racing more like burnout/blur

damn

so close but yea looks good

wooo! F1!

Looking great, like what I'm seeing from Codemasters. 

Never much of a fan of F1 racing titles, but given their huge success with the rallying and traditional racing titles of Dirt and Grid, I have high hopes that this title will be pretty acessible too.

Weather can easily change each track, surprised more racers haven't tapped into this easy replay factor.

Nice! Want. 
Cool song too. 

Looks purty!

This is gonna be awesome.

Thank goodness they took the filter out. Looks much better now.
 
One question though, did I hear him right in saying that if you're out on wet tires while the track is drying that going through puddles will cool them down/prevent damage? Er...

Im a F1 fan so im really looking forward to this. Probablly the game i want most this year. Just hope they have focused on making the game realistic and more a simulator than a acrcade racer.

Just looking at the comments here tells me how different this place is to the race sim communities I usually hang out in :) They all hate this game, the lighting filters especially. The next generation of racing simulators likely to come out this year will include a weather system much more advanced than this. 
 
However, this simulates the experience of being an F1 driver, which no race sim will ever do. I'm still to be convinced. I'll wait for a demo to pass judgement. 

This is bad, very bad. You dont realese a trailer of features that from the look of it are very much in the stage of work in progress and for now really dont  look like they work as they should.

Even though I don't really like racing games, this looks great.

Can't wait for this, looks sweet!!

September can't come soon enough.

Looking good :D

does anyone know if all the cars will be balanced/the same ala arcade, or i will be super crazy tech differences like a normal racing sim? 
 
i mean, F1 cars are slightly different but that makes huge difference on race

wow that looks pretty amazing

As a F1 fan, I gotta say the weather is the most interesting factor in the race at this point, especially now that there are no fuelling strategies to be had. Whenever there's rain forecast it becomes so unpredictable and in my opinion much more fun to watch!

ill wait until later this year when iracing puts out the williams fw31.

I did not have much hopes when I first heard of this game... hope has been raised.
 
Hopefully this game won't dash my hopes and dreams to the jagged rocks of reality.

looks ok but too narrowly focused and looks like something that will not have legs. still waiting for GT5.

I actually can't wait for this game.

Yes, wet tyres are made of a softer compound and wear out at an extreme rate on a dry track. Therefore, driving through puddles will cool them down and reduce the rate of tyre wear. "

Although I can't say I am a massive F1 racing fan, big respect on them for using Unkle F.E.A.R. I rather like that tune.

I wish they would make a Rally simulator... I liked dirt 2 but not enough rally races and tracks...

I have to agree with Zatoichi.
 
Operation Flashpoint 2 was marketed in exactly the same way and all the features they promised in their elaborate trailers turned out to be a bunch of bullshit.
 
So while I hope they deliver a decent F1 experience (was about time someone attempted it), take everything with bags of salt until the demo arrives.

I'm still saddened that were about five years deep into this generation, and there isn't a rally game with rain! I miss the crazy-rain-night driving from Rallisport Challenge 2, and the challenging roads of Japan from Colin McRae.
 
*sigh

Well truth be told, I'm just really happy that Sony lost the license, so now at least more platforms can enjoy an official Formula 1 game.
 
That said, I don't think it's really hard to cater to everyone in todays times. Look at GT-R, you can play it like an arcade racer or go simulation all the way (yes, yes, there's other more hardcore sims out there - I know), so I don't know why they wouldn't do something like that with this game.  
  
I'll have to wait an see how it turns out, right now I'm having quite some fun with F1 mods for rFactor.  

Hey its Codemasters! Be this will be game of the year!

A Codemasters racing game? I'm in.

Can't wait for this on PC. Ego Engine 1.5 is glorious to behold in DX11 (Dirt 2) and this will only improve the situation.  Hope it's got a good sim feel so I can hook up my wheel for it.
