Hi.

It is getting to that time of year again where the guys at Codemasters bring out another stunning game (based on F1 2011) and by looking at these two videos it seems as though they will succeed again.

It seems most things at this time are still in the development stage but looking at the video's it appears that you can set where you want the brake bias which is a great feature. It still has DRS & KERS which is a subject that has caused conflict and debate in the past but real Formula One cars have it so I think it should stay and it something else to play with. I wonder if it will be a closer race for the championship like this years.

The release date is September 21st 2012 so who will be buying it, bearing in mind a couple of games like Forza Horizon will be out around that time aswell.

I agree - online did become boring and I very rarely go online now for that very reason.

How do you adjust brake bias then? I have all aids off and hardest setting? Am I being stupid or is it hidden?!

That would be good. I think F1 2010 was the most glitchy though, and improved vastly with F1 2011.

Ah I understand now. I will have a play later. In the video it appears you can adjust it on the move in 2012.

Thanks - I cannot wait till September 21st now!

Looking forward to it. The developer forays look awesome especially as an improvement on my beloved PS3 graphic wise.

For now I'll leave with this image of bedlam on F1 2011 that happened right in front of me (who says the AI don't crash!). You can see my Force India neatly nipping up the inside.

Needless to say Petrov was found up a tree 3 miles from the track. See'ya!!!!!!

Lol.

I'm no Cock-a-Naldo! Petrov lost it across the gravel came back onto the track where Kobayashi collected him at full pace and launched him into the Monza sky.

Very very funny incident as it appeared that Kobayashi just carried on after it.

This incident brings me onto my biggest gripe with this F1 series. Lack of replays and more importantly lack of replay from the other cars. I would have loved to have seen the view from Petrov's car. The other benefit this could bring is being able to ride on board with Vettel or Alonso who is actually nailing a lap and seeing where they are making their time up. What gear they are in, speed into corner etc.

Sadly because of the way the game is made I doubt this will ever happen but alas I'm still looking forward to it.

Racing online the other night Some bellend passed me by completely straight lining Della Roggia, tried cutting Ascari too but totally lost it and flew into the barriers, loved it!

It doesnt seem like a whole lot has changed for '12. I wont be buying until I've read others impressions of it.

Sweet. I will download the demo later. I had a great race last night at Monza. I was Button will all assists off (as usual) and had close racing with many drivers.

Looking forward to this one.

I had a quick play earlier before I popped out. I like the graphics, small details that they put into certain off track parts. I also like some new additions.

I dislike the size of the rear wing while looking back (McLaren) and in the short amount of time I had it took an age to get the wheel-spin without any aids on - that may change with time though.
