If anyone is interested, race replay of the European GP in Baku. 50% length

started 2nd, managed to hold off and finish there. the rain segment at the end was mostly me running all alone. It's an interesting track. some of the camera angles at the end were pretty cool looking though.

I think it's still processing the higher quality versions. it was recorded at 3440x1440.

Is there an option to do in car view on replays as it is easier to follow?

in replay you can do all driving views plus the TV style view.

Got into career tonight. The improvement they made there is worth the purchase alone. Meant to just check out career tonight then switch to Madden... Ended up playing f1 all night

My only complaint... The practice programs to earn the r&d points seem a bit lengthy and tedious to do for every race weekend.

Great game though so far. Loving it

So, I won my very 1st race for team Red Bull, in amazing fashion. I was running 3rd in the Bahrain GP, with just over a lap left about 2 seconds off the pace. Hamilton and Rosberg were duking it out for the lead, then the unthinkable happened, they took each other out, and I went on by for the win. Serves them right lol.

So lifelike! I am sure that Rosberg took out Hamilton.

I agree, those replay angles are really cool.

Any of you guys using controller on console? Want to know how it is feeling with controller before picking it up.

I use a controller. If you're capable of feathering your triggers, and stick for steering, you'll be fine. I'm sure I could run better with a wheel, but you're should be capable of running with a controller.

I play on PS4 with a controller and it handles better than any racing game I have ever played with a controller. Obviously, you will not be doing as well as with a wheel, so to compensate, I don't play on the hardest difficulty level and I use TC, which slows me down a bit, but in order to be lazy and sit on my couch to play, it works great!

How's the framerate on the PS4 version, is there any noticeable drops while racing? Thanks.

I use a controller and love it, drives great!

Frame rate from everything I've done so far is smooth and solid, including replays.

Ok thanks, thinking of picking the game up soon.

I don't think you'll be disappointed.

As I said, I play with a controller, on X1. Forza 6, I find is a bit difficult with a controller. This game for me, is a breeze with a controller. You just have to be aware that you can just mash the gas coming out of a turn if you have the traction control off. You've also got to have the ability to be gentle on your left stick for steering. Don't just slam it left or right, you'll have lots of long, sweeping turns that require more touch and finesse with it.

However, as others have said, there's lots of options, and difficulty levels to adjust and compensate. For example, turn traction control to full, you can mash the gas and basically never spin out. Turn ABS on, you can mash the brakes, and not worry. Or you can turn them off, and be more cautious trying to find speed. Traction control also has a "halfway" setting too.

I do have a wheel the thrustmaster T80. I know it's a lower end wheel but it's still fun to use. No force feedback is one of it's downfalls but I knew that before buying but it was on sale so not complaining. Looking forward to getting the game tomorrow.
