In April, Codemasters changed their plans, and delayed that title until mid, opting to base it instead on the season. The decision was made to allow more time to develop the next-gen version which Codemasters felt required more time than previously planned in order to get it right.
On the 11th of December , an iPhone version of the game was announced by Codemasters, and it is currently listed as coming soon. Despite moving the game to less powerful hardware, Codemasters maintained the release is a "full-featured comprehensive racer".
To that end, the EGO physics engine, which was touted as a premier feature of the originally intended Next-Gen version, is retained as the physics core of F1 The game has been called an "authentic recreation" of the sport, but the developers stress that they wish to make an accessible F1 racing game.
To this end, there are 15 Driver Aids that players can enable or disable depending on their skill level and confidence. Commentary does not come via the TV Commentary teams as in the past, but instead via drivers' race engineers. Whilst the use of Pit-to-Car Radio is not unheard of, TV Commentary has been in all major F1 Releases over the past decade or so, making its sole use a change in style - reflective of the developers' desire to mimic the experience of the race driver over the weekend.
Modes include a standard season play-through as well as smaller, more manageable modes including challenges Such as standard checkpoint or eliminator races and scenarios - The obligatory In-Car view is supported to enhance immersion.
Shown here is the Brawn GP of Jenson Button which allow players to take the wheel in certain situations and try and mimic or alter reality - for example, recreating Lewis Hamilton's final lap in Brazil or taking the wheel of Timo Glock and denying him the chance to win his title. Additionally, the game features a Career Mode which has proved popular amongst F1 fans in recent releases As well as being a staple of Codemasters racing games in recent times, albeit in slightly more extensive forms than here , this one allowing players to guide their own driver from the back of the grid to the front over the course of three seasons.
The iPhone version features two modes, Time Trial and Endurance. The former is an attempt to set the fastest possible single lap and the latter is a 6, 9 or 12 lap Run in which players attempt to set the fastest average lap time. This wheel is designed to resemble a Formula One Steering Wheel, and hence is shaped and detailed accordingly. Tweet Clean. Codemasters is far too polite to say it out loud, but it's obvious that getting anything to do with F1 approved is teeth-grinding agony of a magnitude far greater than anything the studio has experienced with its rally games.
But that's not to say the F1 teams haven't been helpful. Codemasters says it's visited every team at least once on research and data-gathering missions, with "cars up on cradles testing engines so we can get audio for them," as Waters puts it. It's just so, so noisy. In-game, all this is reflected in a vast and comprehensive set of options to fiddle with. If you care about such things as front anti-roll and spring strength, there are status bars for you to adjust to your heart's content.
If your appreciation of mechanical engineering extends no further than "Ooh, that's a pretty car! To bridge the gap between ignorance and expertise, we're told your pit crew will explain in real terms the difference any fiddles and tweaks actually make.
Which, if handled correctly, could offer valuable insight to the less tech-savvy F1 addict. This also has a wider impact on presentation.
For example, when you're driving along, instead of hearing commentary like you would on TV, the main information you get about the race is from your race engineer. We've had a number of the real F1 race engineers who put their hand up and said, yeah, we'd like to be involved in that. The easiest way to look at the game is that F1 is there in as much or as little detail as you care for. You can choose tyre types, and change your fuel stop strategy, for instance.
Or simply let the game take care of that for you. There are 15 driving aids, each of which can be manually applied, from a racing line indicator, to vehicle damage. And this being the Wii, concessions are of course being made to the yoga hardcore. Sometimes we include links to online retail stores.
