F1 2011 F1 2011 - Developer Diary #1 video (merged)

[F1 2011 Rocks!]

This is the first dev. diary. It's disappointingly short - but I had a sneaking suspicion that would be the case - not a great deal to go on. The lighting does not look as good as the Race Dev mods, but that could be down to early build.

I cant wait for 2011. Great video finds.

2010 was great even though ive not touched any mods clocked up a whopping 617 hours now and will still be going strong up to the release date.

Would have given my right arm to get to test 2011.

 

[Christopher Brown]

wtb the f1 wheel shown in the videos. any idea what its called / where you can buy 1?

 

[Dan Holland]

You'd have been pretty useless as a tester without it... I mean I know you're good but surely not THAT good?

 

[Richard Alexander]

Judging by previous comments in this thread, it's obvious some people can't read.
"WORK IN PROGRESS" in the videos... I'd be surprised if everything you're complaining about was final.
Also, no game is bug-free. No game.
Until someone either plays the released game or sees the final final final development footage.. I feel all complaints are void

Well,in the dev diary,you see schumacher turning right,and he holds the wheel differently in real life,will they implement that in the game? arrot:

 

[Boby Kim]

I like it, in this short video you actually get to see the drivers doing opposite lock, Twice!!!!!
That's more than i ever saw in the many hours i've logged of F1 2010.

Indeed, that was the first thing i was looking for. As far as i can judge from the vid it seems that F1 2011 actually has rear wheel driven cars and that oversteer does exist. Although the Ai cars are still way and way to arcade nervous. I dont mind about the graphics, its all about the ingame options and car physics. Lets see if CM has learned...

 

[wrcstreet]

does anyone know when the next dev diary will come out?

 

[Leonardo Chaves]

Listen from 23:37 onwards - and you'll hear F1 2011's true engine audio. Listen to the depth in the sound, the sheer grunt, the 'crackling' sound as downshifts are made - the sound in the dev diary, along with the rest of it, is clearly a very old build.

Nicely noticed, the new engines scream nicely!!!

Agreed, that one moment with Schumacher looked more natural than anything i have experienced with F1 2010.
That looked like a real single seater.
I hope we can make the back end "dance" in this one.

does anyone know when the next dev diary will come out?

According to T4RG4's tweet of today:

No, Safety Car isn't confirmed and no, I can't say when the next Dev Diary is out. Getting a lot of questions about those!

 

[Timberr]

What a liar if the Safety Car won't be in the game. It was confirmed by Stephen Wood himself along with mechanical failures.

 

[raphaelnariga]

WHAT?! there isn't safety car?! they are kidding me!

that's the new one: "a liar company!"

 

[Wynterdust]

How can anyone say they're liars when they never even confirmed it was in the game in the first place?
The only thing they stated was IF they could get it to work properly they would add it.

They did confirm it, along with mechanical failures in an interview a while back.

 

[Wynterdust]

If so I havn't seen that one and I have looked around for any I can find, whats the link?

 

[Marcus Lindblom]

 

[Wynterdust]

Seen that one meant the one where they said mech failures and safety car is confirmed, if there really was one

 

[Marcus Lindblom]

I have not seen that one.

 

[Timberr]

I believe it was this one:

[wrcstreet]

on this site stands that the safety car is included:http://www.simracingworld.com/games/316-f1-2011/

 

[Wynterdust]

Nowhere in that interview does he confirm its included :/... and in no interview with either developer do they say its confirmed so cant really call them liars..
and simracingworld isnt what codemasters themselves have said, so a small description on an unofficial website is a very small thing to cling to.
