whats this I hear about codemasters doing a free to play PC/online F1 game too?

Still only three races into my first season on 2010 and I've owned it since release lol

 

[GarethM]

Cant believe they have actually put the SC in - awesome!

 

[Lee]

A poor quality video of the attract sequence. http://www.gamersyde.com/news_gc_f1_2011_trailer-11706_en.html

Most of the driving done by me.

Not a great deal of info about yet, looks interesting

 

[Lee]

An pretty decent video of my boss showing he's not quite as good as the AI.

 

[sneeks]

Nice video, glad I don't have long to wait until this is released.

 

[Matthew]

Looks class, can't wait to get my mits on this.

Hope it's "pad friendly" though as I don't have a wheel

 

[GarethM]

F1 2010 is pad friendly to a certain extent. You need to keep the traction control on med/low to not spin at every corner. Also it is hard to fettle the throttle with the pad. Well I find it hard on the PS3 pad.

 

[Lee]

Pad controls are much improved this year. It will never look as smooth but you can be just as accurate as a wheel user.

 

[Matthew]

Nice one Lee!

Mather we need to sort out a beer once the game is signed off and you're allowed your life back for a couple of months before it all starts again.

Too right. Maybe around my birthday in November.

 

[Turkish]

Sounds good to me, you'll have to drop me a text when you know what your plans are/when you're free mate. Been far too long, another night of debauchery is required.

[Lee]

Latest video. It took ages to get some of those shots.

 

[mikey_172]

this looks epic way better than 2010 did i cant wait for it to come out good stuff lee

 

[2 live]

looking good. just got back into 2010 recently. the ability to catch and drift will be good....u know i like a bit of sideways motion lee

 

[Lee]

LOL, yeah. You love sawing at the wheel and hanging the arse end out. :approve:

I'm just doing a quick 20% race at Spa in full wet conditions. It's so nice to give it too much throttle, or throw the car in a little too hard and have to catch a slide. It's not good for the lap time or tyres, but I can't help but provoking the real out on some corners.

 

[2 live]

i always end up with penalties at eau rouge..lol.....just never seems to be able to take it flat.....

 

[Skeeter]

OMG that video is fantastic! Well done on some of those shots!

And the Vettel Finger is in the game

 

[Snakey]

The Vettel finger is worth the retail price alone... but thats a biased opinion.

Did I see a safety car?

 

[Damo_Sport]

safety you did

 

[Lee]

Myself, Steve and Paul answering some questions put to us by some of the fans on Twitter:

 

[dk]

just been to the cinema and saw an advert for this, was a digital screen and it looked amazing on the big screen, now need a 50ft screen in my living room....

 

[Lee]

Christ we got that out quick. We were only picking out the clips we wanted to use a couple of weeks back.

 

[Clart]

That looks so good, can't wait!

 

[dk]

Christ we got that out quick. We were only picking out the clips we wanted to use a couple of weeks back.

There were a couple of random shots in there, like one of a load of gaming stations, guess it was one of the journo events? It looked amazing on such a large screen, just wish I had the time to play it.

There's a few good games out in sept, need to choose one of them. Tough decision.

I think some were from a community day we held a few months ago and some were from a media day we held last month.

 

[Pearcy]

Can you not sort us out with some pre-release ones Lee?

 

[Matthew]

Anyone know where the best pre-order place would be to get this from?

Dont want to pre-order and it not turn up for weeks after the release day.

 

[GarethM]

Shopto.net are always spot on for me and come usually a day before release or on the day.

 

[sneeks]

I see Alan from TeamVVV already has a pre-release version of this, hopefully he will be able to post some more in-game videos soon once Codemasters allow it.

 

[Snakey]

Thought I'd crack out F1 2001 on the PS2 last night,

Jenson Button looks so young, don't worry if you dont make the corner the wall will bounce you round it

Also, see the lack of braking markers


...Good fun

 

[LIL B]

Tbf the car looks in contact with the surfaces better than in forza.

 

[Skeeter]

Lee, is this going to be available to Pre Order on Steam. Or at least buy on release day?

I'm totally done with physical disks.

 

[Lee]

I think it's up for pre order on Steam now.

The TV ad and Dev Diary 3 are now up.

I don't know if any of you use the Codies forums, but they've organised a community event at the Head Office tomorrow. I'm going to be there doing a brief presentation then answering questions on the game.

 

[Revels]

Co-op mode looks cool.

 

[Skeeter]

Thanks Lee! Pre ordered and ready to go. Will you be making an appearance as a member of any pit crews this year?

And did I spy a safety car in that TV ad. Dangerous to put that in there if its not in the game... you know how angry teenage fanboys can get

 

[sneeks]

The safety car is in the game. Looking good.
