Has anyone seen the release date for the new F1 game...September. Great, just about the time we hope to see GT5. For us F1 fans this could be a short lived game as I for one believe that GT5 will have alot more appeal. However, can I resist not owning the latest in F1 gaming. Don't think so.

same here, i'll be grabbing it when its released. i know there are concerns about how the physics will be seeing
as its mode by Codemasters, but if the graphics are up to GRID standard, that'll be a good start

I was keen on purchasing this , until I heard it's release date was in September and that GT5 could be with us in October.

I don't think I could seroiusly give F1 2010 enough time, what with GT5 so close on the horizon.

"We're tailoring the handling to a very different market than that of Dirt 2 & Grid..."

I bloody well hope so, they have Anthony Davidson onboard as a test driver, sounds good so far!

This was my thoughts exactly Craig, but I think I will probably cave especialy after the vid that Martin posted.

ohhh damn i cant wait , i shall be getting that!!!!

Just found this official website for the game: http://formula1-game.com/ There are 3 videos on there; Weather, Handling & the one I already posted above. I'm still in 2 minds about this game as codies are known more for their arcade style games & poor FFB/wheel support, Hmmm.

I know I started this thread but I am verging more and more on the side of not buying this game. Everything I see and hear makes me think it will be very arcade like.

just like the psygnosis games, it will be a sim with an arcade option like every other racer. codemasters can do sims and have done

and wouldnt want to ruin the feel of the previous games by changing it to arcade as most of the buyers will be looking to a follow on from the sce games.

they wouldnt risk loosing a franchise buy doing a poor arcade racer, especially with money involved in the licensce.

ill buy and hope they dont ruin it, but im also pretty sure they wont

I think this looks realy good and i shall Deflantly be getting this when it is released ...
