F1 2016

[NJK44]

I actually started a career mode on F1 2013 yesterday for a laugh and it's actually an incredibly good game!

I have each codies F1 game since 2010. 2015 has been the worst for me so far. OP are you using a wheel or a controller?

How come you think that? I think 15 is far and away the best one.

I'm using a controller unfortunately, will upgrade to wheel eventually

xbone?

Dunno just seemed a bit less involved/immersive can't quite put my finger on it but the game felt rushed and a backwards step. If I am honest 2014 felt similar, 2013 was the peak so far for me!

PS4 mate.

Oh yeah, definitely rushed. No immersion at all. But graphics and handling are fantastic.

Graphically it is great, but the gameplay with the logitech g920 is pretty poor, no FFB or feel to the handling etc it just doesn't pull you in. Controller is better for feel and feedback which should just never be the case IMO of course..

Haven't experienced it with a wheel so can't comment but it feels fantastic on a controller haha and I'm pretty quick on it without a wheel

Will the drivers change teams as the career progresses or will Button be at McLaren until he's in his late 40s? Probably a licence restriction but it hurts the realism for me.

I imagine we'll see a 41 year Hamilton at Mercedes after the 10th year unfortunately

Shopto says release date is 31st August.

It has a time slot of 11:40PM GMT at E3 on Thursday so updates then!

I thought 2015 was tragically bad. Anyone who thought this was good obviously doesn't like driving games. I bought it played it once and it's lived in its box ever since......I hope 2016 is a major step up from that.

2015 is easily the best game in the series from a driving and handling point of view. Lack of features and lots of bugs messed it up, but racing online with friends is great.

I don't think you can really form a realistic opinion after playing it once...

F1 2016 will be released on 19th August 2016! Woohoo!

So, this is out on Friday.

I got it yesterday and so far I'm up to Spain in my career, a solid 18 hours of gameplay in 30 hours, it's a great game!

Cars handle like a boat until you get used to it!

Have to say I think that so far this game has been brilliant. Started my career and did a 50% around Australia on Legend, I started with Renault.

Struggled with the tyre wear and lap time tests, but nailed the track acclimatization. Qualy was tough, started 19th behind my team mate in 18th. Race was just brilliant, ended up finishing 8th after switching my strategy to a 2 stop which worked a treat - most of the AI tried one stops and fell off the cliff 3 laps from the end promoting me from 12th up to 8th.

I'm up to round 9, 50% races with practices and full qualy.. I've grinded about 32 hours if game play since Tuesday!
