[boffey]

Just put my review up.

[sneeks]

I traded my PS3 version of this today and bought it on the 360, it is a definite improvement. Graphics are still not great but are better than the PS3. Also bought the Microsoft wireless speed wheel and it works well with this game.

 

[GarethM]

Yeah my brother has it on the 360 and the graphics are a lot better. But he has a newer TV than me and mine is 4 years old.

 

[Goodj]

PS3 will always be boned for multi-format releases.

Too much effort and cost involved to code things to the maximum potential of the console.

Shame, but hey ho.

 

[dunganick]

Ive just tried to play this online, but the game crashes (ps3) at the start of the race. Pretty frustrating! Any fixes known?

 

[Matthew]

Anyone else had a transparent car? My car was see through for a few laps around Monaco, did a lot stop and went back to normal...

Weird stuff...

 

[Snakey]

Yeah had that before, were you coming out of the pits?

 

[Matthew]

Yeah it was after a pitstop, came out car went see through, did a few laps, had to go back in as I had a puncture and it went...

Also coming out of the pits the camera stuck on cockpit camera instead of going back to the tv cam.

Annoying but still think the game is quality.

 

[GarethM]

I've had the transparent car bug coming out of the pits at Spa, hopefully will be looked into with the 2nd patch.

Sorry I havent read the whole thread but does anyone know why the replays are so short? or why you cant view the replay from another car?

You can watch the whole replay on a 20% race.....only from your car though.

 

[Snakey]

Owner what what the pc free to play one will be like

[coatesy1]

wheres the option to turn the safety car on?

 

[GarethM]

You have to do 20% race or more ^ and it gives you the option under the race distance etc.

Just done a league race and when the race started we all ended up in random grid positions so we had to do a rolling start it is rediculous, codemasters need to sort it out!

For a serious race like that you would have thought traction control and racing line etc would all be disabled to make it realistic

 

[sbridgey]

different league tiers with different rules

Having just started playing this I actually cant stand it! Graphics and off track bits are good but the way the car drives is horrible in comparison to F1 2010.

I thought the same at first, you just need to give it time. I love it now and think its an improvement over 2010

 

[GarethM]

The handling is far far better this year. No more spinning out when attacking the kerbs, and you dont get sore fingers trying to get the car round the corners this year. Plus you can actually catch a slide this year.

 

[Matthew]

Is there a CS online group for the 360?

Just renewed my gold membership....

 

[Ja5on]

bored of it tbh

 

[Matthew]

It's actually ridiculous how dirty other gamers are online. Get behind you ram you off and you get points off for colliding...

Nobbers

 

[Ja5on]

hence you i've got to iracing to play online

 

[Daz.]

After going back onto 2010 last night I realised how much better the handling package is - it was also wierd not using KERS or DRS!

Even though I think the graphics are technically better the overall effect looks poorer, some of the tracks looked gorgeous on 2010 and now have zero interest about them.

I know. Was playing the Montreal track last night, coming it to the hairpin before the long straight adn got shunted from before... which sent me into the crashing into the back of the leader.

Then continued messages of abuse calling me a drity b*****d etc... I tried explaining but he didnt believe me lol

I think unless you get a gmae with people who are level 50 or your own mates, its not worth wasting your time TBH.

Question.

[Damo_Sport]

[Goodj]

Is there an button that lets you wave angrily at other drivers? Like the Taunt button on Streetfighter and co.?

Seems to have become part of the real F1 2011, so it should probably make it into F1 2012.

 

[Snakey]

I know what you mean, nothing worse than the back markers ignoring the blue flags

'Get out of the f**king way you tarmac hogging b******s!'

Probably waste at least one flashback smashing into one of them out of sheer rage

 

[Goodj]

The AI doesn't need to react in any way, just have an animation to have your driver gesticulate wildly (maybe a special move button combo that has them flick the bird?).

What platform do you play F1 on?

More patch details released today. Glad to hear there are graphic and frame rate improvements for the PS3.

Wait until the end of the season mate, I ended up with 38 points in my 1st season with Lotus and got offers from Virgin and HRT. But after Brazil I got an offer from Force India.
