First details for Codemasters' F1 2010 game have been disclosed via the Official Xbox Magazine.
The article includes first-ever preview screenshots of the upcoming game. There are also first previews of the game’s impressive wet weather effects.
The previews show 2009 season cars as placeholders because the brand-new cars of the upcoming 2010 season aren't ready to be shown off yet. It’s unknown whether or not the title will only contain the 2010 season or if the 2009 cars will be included as well.
Instead of just racing, the game’s career mode will give players the ability to influence off-track parts of the career such as speaking to the media, their team and their team-mate with the choice of words affecting the outcome of the career and the relationship to the team. This adds a new and realistic element to the experience as a Formula One driver’s career doesn’t end with stepping out of the car.
Main details:
- Released for the PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. No release date confirmed yet
- Will feature the upcoming 2010 season, including all cars and tracks
- Laser-scanned tracks
- Using Codemasters' EGO engine known from Colin McRae DIRT 2
- Comes with an extensive dynamic weather system, including weather changes, puddles and drying racing lines
- Career mode will include interaction with co-drivers, the team and the media – objectives will differ on whether you're driving for a backmarker team or a championship-contender.
