    Re: F1 2015 Available Today For Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC

    Thanks for the impressions Brandon. My copy arrives tomorrow. My eyes are open on the lack of some modes and features, but most of that doesn't affect me. I have never completed an F1 season in the previous games anyway lol.

    I'm just a bit bummed about no create a driver but I'll bet that csreer mode makes the cut next edition.

      Monaco... Looks amazing.

      Monaco... Destroyed me. Lol

      I skipped 2014.. So I last played the 2013 game if I remember correctly. I remember Monaco being hard. But I got the hang of it. It's harder this time for me. I adjusted setups and stuff and finally found my way around in the time trial mode. But once I tried to race there. Oh man...

      Some of the walls.. The way they are angled just eat up your car, cut corners too close. Catch the rear wheels on the wall. You're done. Even some of the long sweeping turns, the walls are unforgiving on those too. Ha-ha.

      It felt good to get the hang of the track again. But I was in no way ready for a race.

      The race into screens and computers are cool. When ur in the garage during a practice or qualifying session, you can watch the other cars on the track on the screen. Pretty neat.

      There's not much to the season mode either. A few team goals. But nothing special. Just race. Standing etc. That's about it. So that sucks, but the gameplay itself to me I enjoyed without noticing any glaring issues.

      That's all for tonight. I have to work tomorrow...as usual. Lol

        Enjoying this game on PS4 a lot! I must say that Codemasters is the new king of the race replay. Man, they really upped the ante on this. Broadcast quality and multiple camera angles per lap. Better than Polyphony Digital in the replay department. Right now I am trying the Professional mode, and it is a killer. You play from the cockpit view only, with no assists and Legend AI difficulty. Just testing this out and I am no match against the ai. I like F1 2015. It's a nice game.

          I'm going to check out that video later, but for now, I want to spend my time tonight racing. Going to run one more race, then watch, ill report if I saw any of the issues. If they're online issues though, I can't comment, I'm playing offline, and usually only do.
          Thats cool. I didn't mean to sound so negative. I am glad you are enjoying it. I am a huge F1 fan and was just really disappointed this year, I think that came thru too much. This is the only game I actually play online with, I am in a group from Europe that races the entire season online with a full field. It is huge fun. A lot of us were hoping for the console versions to work better for online stability but such is not the case.

          I might have picked it up for single player but 2014 is good and all of my friends are sticking with it until we see what the 2015 PC version is like.

            I've had the game for 2 weeks now (Europe Credit Card) and I'd have to say I love it. I'm a big F1 fan, and was excited for months. The game looks amazing. I think it plays better than the previous F1 series. I'm loving the competitive AI even though i'm already on Legend. You will not win in a lesser car like a McLaren so that is realistic but tough as well as you can't develop the car in season.

            Now the negative, the game is so so buggy. Every day there is a new one. This ranges from being stuck in 2nd gear after a pitstop and blowing up your engine, to starting your championship season with a driver and all of a sudden being switched to Hamilton mid season. The AI always pit on the same lap. So if Hamilton and Rosberg are 1 and 2 with 1 sec in between it will be 6 sec once the stops are done (Unless one of the cars just freezes in the pits which happens as well). The choices are limited as you only have 3 race weekend lengths during championship season and you can't mix and match. Race goals are unrealistic, if you qualify 5th in a lesser car with the goal being (10th) then all of a sudden the race goal is to finish first.. On PS4 replays sometimes crash out. There are more bugs but whats the point of me going on.

            I love the game, even though it's buggy I love it. I'm just going to have to be patient to when the next patch will be released. Game mode wise it reminds me of NHL15 just very limited. For me it's playable and enjoyable, but if you're not a big F1 fan I'd might wait till next patch.

              Brandon, I am on xbox one as well and am loving this game so far. We'll have to get some racing in. Add me - gamertag Chunt04

              The AI is great in terms of realizing where you are on the track and being fair in terms of backing out of moves. They are very good at being aggressive when needed. The visuals are great and with all of the assists off the car really seems to come to life. The driving experience really is good in this game. The lack of career mode is unfortunate, but at least you can play the 2014 and 2015 seasons. The race day track atmosphere is great in this game, may even be the best that I've seen. This is a very solid base to build upon in upcoming years.

                For those looking for a good view of the game, watch aarava's videos on youtube. They're very entertaining.

                  I picked up the latest version Day 1 in the US yesterday. Brandon's done a great job on detailing the game. PS4 got a US Day 1 Patch and that fixed a few problems from it's initial release. Been driving F1 since 2013 and they really have it down this year. The game is missing features galore and I couldn't find a game online Day 1 but they have the core fairly solid. Right now I'm very happy with what I've got and was certainly worth the cost since Best Buy gives you 20% off in their Gamer's Club. If you like F1 and driving without all the bells and whistles then give it a go. If you need all the other modes to get your engine running...well hopefully there's always next year.

                    I have this game on xbox one and I absolutely love driving the car. I use no assists and am using a wheel. It is so fun to drive. I have not done much actual racing yet. Just practice laps on different tracks and I have not had issues with bugs so far. The little bit of racing I did do seemed much improved over previous versions. True the game has less features than previous versions but this really is a good base for them to build upon.
                    This is not a game you can judge until you get yourself behind the wheel and I consider it a must have for any F1 fan like myself.

                      Re: F1 2015 Available Today For Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC

                      Been logging a good bit of hours on the ps4. So far I've been having a blast. The lack of features is not a big deal for me, however a career mode that lasted more than one season would have been great. On the track the game plays great. Cars are responsive. The sense of speed is great and the race engineer providing updates is very immersive. My only complaint so far would be the AI. While beside you the AI are great at either attempting the pass or backing off based off the situation. However when trailing directly behind your car they are too slow responding to deceleration. I've had extreme bumps from behind that don't make sense unless the AI is unaware of me. My teammates seem to be the worse at it then anybody. I'm at the point of just trying to spin Raikkonen of the start because I know he will eventually do the same to me at some critical point in the race. Plus the pit strategy does not seem to concern teammates. Far too often we pit at the exact same time which is strategically stupid in F1.

                      All in all I'm having a blast. Unless it's an arcade racer I typically don't care about having a ton of game modes. The AI is great for the most part however with some tweaking to pit strategy and AI braking response while trailing I see myself enjoying this for a long while.

                      Edit: A career mode that lasted several seasons with changes in car engines and aerodynamics would go a long way with encouraging people to play with other teams other than Mercedes, Williams, or Ferrari. While technically accurate with Mercedes domination the past two years there is little incentive to play a struggling team like McLaren without the hope of R&D development making them a contender again like in the past. Basically if you are content with no podiums an entire season with no chance of that ever improving there is zero incentive to play as anyone other than the big three.

                          I was initially bummed about the missing career mode but once i heard that my fanatec csr was being supported I just couldn't resist.

                          The lack of modes is disappointing but I'm much more confused about why they chose to limit your options within those modes. In order to run full qualifying in championship season you will need to do 100% races.

                          The driving feels good but wheel users will be disappointed with the force feedback.

                          The AI is the best in the series. You can really go wheel to wheel with them into corners and they hold their lines well while giving you enough room too. It is great stuff and, to me, worth the price of admission alone.

                          The damage modeling is much more detailed and it is much easier to get spun out by opponents this year. You will need to be much more careful going into turn 1 so moving up the field by nudging cars out of the way on the opening lap is not as effective.
                          I've never used the flashback feature in the previous titles but you will need it if you do longer races. Lapped cars don't know they are lapped and will race you through every corner. I've had three races where the race leader (AI controlled race leader) was taken out by a backmarker and I was caught in the madness. There are no blue flags anywhere to be seen so hopefully codemasters can get this fixed.

                          Overall I'm enjoying the game a lot. It's helping me cope with the pain of what patch 1.07 has done to Witcher 3.

                              I don't agree with this. Maybe it's an issue for the AI leader and AI lapped cars, I havent experienced that yet, but I've been in the lead, coming up on lapped cars, there's definitely blue flags and lights along side the track waving, or flashing. The AI cars I'm about to lap usually also move out of the preferred line. Not as much in the corners, but in prime passing area's they sure have been for me.

                              One things I'm a bit tired of... Mercedes finishing 1, 2 almost every single race unless I get my nose in there, but they they just go 2, 3. I know they're strong, but a little variance would be nice.

                                I've yet to lead any laps but I've come across lapped traffic and they have either raced me down long straights all the way through the next turn or they will brake hard mid corner on the racing line.

                                On the replays I'm watching a lapped backmarker squeeze Hamilton's Mercedes to the wall on that long straight in Melbourne right before the quick left-right heading into sector 3.

                                Blue flags may be in but, in my experience, are not properly obeyed by the AI. I'm only a few races in but not seeing it at all. Glad you're having better luck with the backmarkers. Nico Rosberg could've used some last night trying to get around Kobayashi in my race.

                                Those Mercedes one-twos are getting boring in real F1 but I love the fact that Mercedes is as dominant in the game as in reality.
