For me the most important thing is at the end of the video. When Steve goes wide and leaves the track with 4 wheels he gets a warning for that!
It looks like we say bye-bye to the corner cutters.

The sound is very good imo.

Well, looking at the "work in progress" laps I checked out it seems the graphics are exactly the same, let's hope the bugs are not...hmm ?

Only cornercut which hasn't been warned was at 6:50 but against that I've seen much improvements.

Some slow, conservative promotional laps, far away of streching the boundaries (yet a corner popped up wich were cut by both guy). I can t make a positive conclusion after that.
We should see for example a Montreal lap with an expert driver to see if its better or just the same.

I hope that the brake bias adjustment is a little more than just the 3 positions shown in the video.... but if it is just the 3 positions it would be nice to know the degree of the change when you move it form front to neutral to rear. iykwim

The new cockpit cam looks awful! I can't believe they did it like that!

hmmm. it does look a little odd now that you mention it. Looks like i higher view than it should be.
Compare this

to this

they are both miles away from this though

Personally I like that one. Even going to try it when the game comes out. It should be a bit lower but it's good (for me at least) that you aren't that close to the wheel.
Anyway I can't reall describe why but Tcam looks worse then in '11.

They have implemented a much upgraded weather system, localized weather, so it can be raining on one part of the circuit and dry on another part.

 

[Victor Ivanov]

Hmm from the videos it looks like the curbs again are only visual part of the track and don't affect the handling. I hope I'm wrong.

Cockpit view is like you are sitting on a normal chair in a F1 car so high up. I would get motion sickness from the tower feeling. If you know what i mean.

 

[Victor Ivanov]

And the input lag...again...

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

So basically only new is the young driver challenge and the weather system plus a later to be revealed game mode?

 

[Victor Ivanov]

And bb

Yes that is some serious controller input lag on those videos.

If only the technology existed to be able to adjust seat position (up, down, forward, backwards) whilst in the cockpit and adjust FOV in the menus - oh, wait.....

Or remove the steering wheel so it's not so annoying when it it's not synced with your wheel...

Are we still talking about this game or Sci-Fi?

Yeah sadly I think I entered the realms of fantasy there! Codies doing testing lol.

I wont be too down on the game, as has been said already its too early to be overly critical or simply a hater, but this something we can all see, therefore can comment.

Mind you, when they say, 'sorry we cant recreate the issue' we have video evidence that they flaming well can!!
