F1 2010

[DFUSIONITE]

I just been reading the manual and i must say the online modes look amazing! You gain online xp too which contributes to online rank. You earn xp in qualifying sessions by completing flying laps or finishing in the top 3, or in races by finishing in the top ten, completing a lap without incident and per lap finished if you finish the race. If you don't finish the race, or are disqualified all xp earned is declared void. Really looking forward to playing this online as well as career mode now.

Attacking pre-owned market is futile - F1 dev
Make games worth keeping says F1 lead designer

There's no point in trying to destroy the pre-owned market, instead developers need to make games worth holding on to.

That's the opinion of F1 2010 lead designer Stuart Hood. Talking to CVG, Hood said it was a developer's job to make a game entertaining in the long run.

"I think the pre-owned market is maybe denting the tail of a title," he said.

"People who didn't plug into the hype or didn't follow what was going on, when they are looking for the game and they find a pre-owned one, they'll probably go for the pre-owned. Let's face it we're not making any money from that."

Hood pointed out that games were getting more and more expensive to make but the onus is on the developer to create keepers rather than restrict re-sale.

"I don't think it's enough for developers to go round whinging about cutting that market up because you get rid of a game when you're tired of it or you want to move on to something else."

"So first and foremost it should be our attempt to get the game more entertaining over the long-term."

Dead Space 2 producer Steve Papoutsis appears to agree with Hood's outlook, he hopes Dead Space 2's multiplayer will stop gamers from trading in altogether.

Totally agree with that, I have a few games that i've completed ages ago but would never dream of trading in just because I enjoyed playing them so much (Soul Calibur IV, Fallout 3, Lego Star Wars for example). Hopefully F1 will be another one then

I am sure it will, you can choose how many years your career is gonna be and the online modes looks amazing, so plenty of reasons to keep playing!

I gave F1 2010 a blast for about an hour and a half last night, and I wasn't disappointed. It looks amazing and feels very realistic. I tried time trial and a three lap race playing as jano trulli, and played as always with the realistic cockpit view. The feeling of speed was quite intense and I found my head cocking to one side when I was blasting around corners, something I haven't done on a racer for years. The race itself was great fun and even though I had some of the assists (but not all of them) like traction control turned on and the AI difficulty was only at medium it was still very difficult, but not frustratingly so and it's still definitely something that anyone should be able to get good at with plenty of practice meaning the game so far seems to be fairly easy to play but quite hard to master, which is the perfect way to be in racing games. The feeling of joy you get when you overtake someone is incomparable as you have to battle for every overtake with drivers in front trying to block you off at every opportunity. There are a wealth of options to make the game as difficult/realistic as you want so everyone will be able to adjust the game to suit them perfectly. The time trials are very addictive as there are two leaderboards for each track (one for dry and one for wet) and even though it was the day before release there were still just under 3000 people with posted times on the Bahrain track, and I kept saying to myself 'just one more lap', eventually managing to climb to 1,300 and something on the board which I am proud of considering I didn't play for long. I can't wait to get stuck in to career mode and online play now, and I imagine me and Marty are gonna have tons of fun with it. Expect a full review from me in around a weeks time, but so far I couldn't be happier with my purchase!

Just finished work and got back from town with both Dead Rising 2, & F1 2010, plus £13 left on my Gamestation trade in card. Gotta love the fact they give you an additional £5 off a new release if you trade in any game.

Gonna have a blast on F1 once I've installed it to the HDD. Gonna try and ram that German c*nt off the track.

Me and Marty are playing for a couple of hours tonight (early evening) if ya fancy joining us. We may also play tomorrow night. I might install it to the HDD myself, but having said that I did that with gears 2 and it kept freezing so I am a bit cautious about doing that now!

Just finished my first career race. Qualifyed 22nd and came 17th. Fucking cunts put me back to 24th though as they gave me two 10 second penalties for knobheads driving into the back of my car.

Lol, just like real F1 then, especially the lower teams, i am sure you will get better as the season go's on and then move up to a better team, that's what it's all about after all!
