The Ultimate f1 game

[Lucag120]

should have:

-awesome graphics, and cars that exactly resemble their real life counterparts
-SAFETY CAR!!!! and crashes that resemble real-life!! so tyre bundles getting tossed and fences moving from impact.
-The warm up lap should also be apart of the game.
-DRYING racing line in WET conditions. Ever changing track conditions.
-AI that is REALLY quick for people that will play this game 24/7. Try to make it unbeatable, like in REAL LIFE when ur driving mid-field cars that arent as quick as Ferrari's and McLaren's.
-AI that wont make random errors, and that wont hit you from behind.
-Also, penalties should be given out like in real life, so if you overtake a car under the safety car, u get told by ur pit crew to give the spot back and the AI should be treated the same, then, if you dont, the offcials give you a drive through after the saftey car has pulled off.
-MAKE THE RACES AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO REAL-LIFE!!. So no random glitches like the f1 games on the PS2 that ruin races, ie. the AI getting stuck behind lapped cars and pitstops that put on the wrong tyres in changing conditions(we want to make this call! and pay for the consequences if the wrong decision is made)
-locking up brakes realistically, especially in wet conditions, this is an important part the game as it will make it harder to master-I'd love this.
-get the physics of the f1 cars as good as possible, anything less than a simulation on par to GRAN TURISMO isn't good enough,(We want the best and can you blame us after years of sub-par console f1 games?) I think the physics in GP4 and f12002 on PC comes close!
-I like your philosophy on GRID, "ITS ALL ABOUT THE RACE" thats what we want, we want to be abole to choose a race stradegy on the fly thats easy to work with, we want to fight with AI cars as if they were real people and we WANT A SIMULATION OF DRIVING a REAL F1 CAR!
-In a race weekend, during practice you should be able to watch the cars go round and do laps in HD like in real life, it would be cool to watch the T cam of various cars and laptimes as the track gets more rubber down.
-Try to add the loss of downforce as you follow another car!!
-Make the game compatible with steering wheels, so we control the steering rate and opposite lock ect. So that different driving styles are cattered for and we can drive the cars as though they are real f1 cars!(ie Alonso vs Button)
-adjusting the car via the sterring wheel,(diff settings, fuel mix ect. -like the drivers do in real life)
-Also, the hardcore fans want challenging AI so make it VERY quick.
-And the true test of this game is how it performs online, how close is it to a real F1 race when your playing a full grid of human opponents? We want to race each other and see who's the best in the world! NO LAG!
-REMEMBER, a simulation that emerses the player in the real f1 race experience. That means Real PHYSICS that resemble the cars!-Thats the most important!

So good luck codemasters!!! I know you can do it!!!!

anything you want to add?? add it and ill commment.
(ive got the PS3 and 360 in mind for these suggestions)

One thing that i love to see in this new F1 is to get the aerodynamic upgrade very week. accord to a real thing. accord to each circuit

[pariimn]

oh oh oh, one more thing, can you make it look as good as F2007 in GT5P. please no more over saturation, or too much bure and specular.

[SFF1 hollis]

great list
1 thing i would add is if you stop in gravel you get stuck and race over
and mayb engine blow ups and punctures every now and then

Hi all!! Sorry for my english in first place, im write from spain, and i stay in course with all luca said, i want to see a real simulator, if codemasters make a game like TOCA Race driver but in F1, the game will be perfect (no include GRID, that's a little arcade).

But i want to question one thing to all, i wait for answers, what do you think codemasters adds in the game one option for career game, i explain, you start driving in a low team, per example, toro rosso, honda, etc... but if you driving good, little by little you goes signing with othes teams, like renault, mclaren and ferrari.... you won prices and money for your team and you could put money to make a better car.

Maybe for this first year not, but for the next year???

Regards for all!!

not to keen on money thing. I dont agree with one thing on that list and thats the AI not making mistakes i quite like that add's to the realism. Id also like to be part of pre season testing so depending on your preformance the car could make that stepup to front running or midfield or take a step down like honda or renault have been doing. And thank you luca ive been saying it over and over again about making it harder i dont want to beable to win in a torro rosso

i agree with both points. money thing would be a waste of production time and the AI needs to be more realistic, so they should make mistakes.
i hate it in f1 04 i get t boned by AI cars all driving in a straight line and they get no front wing damage and theres no such thing as rear wing damage in the entire game!

[Lucag120]

yeah, i agree with the mistakes thing for sure, like rookie drivers should probs make mistakes more and drivers like rubens and fisi not so. And i just also wanna say the graphics just have to be AWESOME, but physics would have to come before this. And pre season testing is also a fantastic suggestion.
that should definetley be there, they should include tracks like paul ricard, jerez and valencia, oh and muggelo. I just am so excited that an f1 game is coming to ps3! its gonna b too cool, theres only one problem, i need a ps3, lol. ill get it though. Another small thing is, if an AI car crashes, the safety car comes out and while you are warming up your tyres and saving fuel, the crane or pickup truck should carry the smashed off the track. how cool would it be to drive past behind the safety car and see poeple hawling the car onto the truck or the car getting lifted by the crane as the marshalls stand by in a race like monaco. The graphics thing about no motion blur and crap like that is a good point, we just wanna see the race as it should be, like in GT5 Prologue, no real efects as such.

Don't real life drivers make random errors? Thats one of the things I like about Grid is the random errors drivers make. Racing games where the AI just drive their lines is kinda dull. Although in TOCA 3, I was playing full races in like a full season of V8 supercars, and I must admit, it really sucked when you get taken out of the race when an AI driver nails you going into a corner with a few laps left.
