How this will be split we do not know yet, but split it will be.

so, anybody that says CM either don't read / reply or care about the SIM fans, think again !!!

Thanks MS7XWDC

don't thank me, CM get the major credit for replying here. this interaction sets them apart IMHO.

OMG ... Now we can quote Uncle Chewy and he is in the firing line

They know better than us what and how the game should be which can please F1 gamers and racing gamers also to some extent. I think Codies can make a nice F1 game. Hopefully they will do the right thing

Excellent news !

Since you seem to have gotten his attention, maybe you could ask when we can expect some new news MS... ?

MS7XWDC · 07-07-2008, 09:26 PM

I didn't get CM's attention. the Community on the forum did

PulpzillA · 07-07-2008, 10:27 PM

what thread is this from?

There was never any doubt that the game would be sim, it was simply a question of the assists and options the game would have to allow casual players to pick the game up and enjoy as well.

Niceeeee. Finally some good news !

A SIM

Ahhhh.
I was waiting for F1 game with the newest team roster, and with obeying the whole rules, like just one "defending" move when someone is overtaking us, or penalty pit stop run for making some accidents on the track, and whole that things that making the game real challenge.
Cant wait for F1!
