F1 2012 F1 2012 The Game: Monza and Yas Marina Circuit Videos

[Bram Hengeveld]

Shaun Cole of InsideSimRacing had the chance to test an early version of F1 2012 The Game for the Xbox 360. In the following two videos he takes us around Autodromo di Monza in Italy, where this weekend the real Formula One Italian Grand Prix will be held, and participates in the Young Driver Test at Abu Dhabi's Yas Marina Circuit.

The video is done picture in picture and switches from In-Car view as well as the TV camera view to show the game off best. This is our first race in the game and some of the driving is not the best. The driving is being done in the 2012 Red Bull car driven by Sebastian Vettel. The AI drivers are the real drivers from the F1 season: Hamilton, Alonzo, Webber and Raikkonen.​

When you first start up this game it has integrated a nice driving school and tutorial into a section called Young Driver Test. It is divided into 2 days with the first day teaching you about the car and its controls. After completion you are ready to move onto day 2 and then start your Formula One career.​

F1 2012 will be released on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on (depending on your location) September 20th / 21st 2012. A demo is expected to be released a week prior to the launch of the full game.

**** I hope the damage settings was set to "only visible" because the way hamilton took Ascari and parabolica without a frontwing is not even possible to imaging for a person who knows f1. although He did loose some positions after those turns, so that propperbly means that you dont loose any downforce with the lost front-wing

It does look like the AI take more risks and are more competitive to overtake this year. Just wish we could see a gameplay video of a track like Malaysia or China to see how fast the AI are at the first turn complex because you could gain a clear advantage of a few seconds in pole last year.

Looks like the mirrors are usless again.

"... and you're at the brakes at just the right time."
Whaaaaa? They HAVE GOT to be kidding... With braking like that the most you'd get in the good ol' Gran Turismo 2 would be a bronze medal.
