And what could be closer to the true spirit of F1 than that? Weather Report The Long HaulĬodies are promising an 'extensive and challenging' career mode, which will allow you to create a new driver (we assume) and rise from the bottom of the ranks, joining and switching teams and eventually becoming the guy who can't lose because his car's miles better than everyone else's. That means you can fulfil the wish of Formula 1 fans everywhere and drive Michael Schumacher's car straight into a wall, crushing his bones into paste and leaving him in a pile of twisted metal and wreckage. Meticulously detailed and accurate cars, the proper drivers, teams and circuits. Licence FeeĪs you'd expect from an official product, this'll have all the bumph, paraphernalia and gubbins from a licensed title. Expect the usual slew of challenges, time trials and that sort of thing for now, until we hear more. F1 2010 is going to have a whole raft of online options, although we don't yet know if there's going to anything out of the ordinary. It's all well and good busting the chops of AI drivers all the time, but real drivers take their skills online, competing against people who clock incredible, mind-boggling times after months of practice. Someone needs to take the dusty crown, give it a real good polish and bring FI gaming into the here and now.Ĭodies, using the EGO engine that makes other games like Colin McRae: DiRT and Race Driver: GRID look so delicious, are hoping they can finish in pole position with this one.į1 2010 certainly looks pretty and from experience we can also say that it's incredibly difficult when played with a wheel and with the in-game driving aids all disabled.Īt least, the sum total of PC efforts failed to make it round a single lap without all the wheels coming off.

If those games are still the nostalgic benchmark for FI racing simulators, it's a sad state of affairs.

Everyone crammed into the nightclub Codies were using to showcase their new Formula 1 game said the same thing: 'I haven't played an FI game for years, but I really liked those Geoff Crammond ones from way back.'
