The September launch will see F1 2010 become the first official FORMULA ONE game to appear for Xbox 360 and marks the return of FORMULA ONE to PC after an eight year absence. The arrival of the HD editions of FORMULA ONE follows Codemasters’ extremely successful launch of F1 2009 for Wii and PSP, which became a top five best seller throughout the past holiday period.

In F1 2010 gamers will take on the full, expanded grid in a variety of game modes including GRAND PRIX, Championship, Time Trial and an extensive, innovative Career mode. F1 2010 will also feature a highly advanced damage model, fully dynamic weather system and extensive competitive multiplayer options.

In production at Codemasters Studios Birmingham, F1 2010 is being developed using the EGO Game Technology Platform, Codemasters’ proprietary tech that powered the critically acclaimed, million-plus selling Colin McRae: DiRT 2 and Race Driver: GRID. The award-winning technology has been further developed to accurately recreate the unique aerodynamics and handling of 200MPH+ FORMULA ONE cars. The tech combined with Codemasters’ unprecedented access to FORMULA ONE teams and drivers will ensure that F1 2010 delivers the most authentic FORMULA ONE racing experience yet. F1 2010 will be released September 2010 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.

I'm happy that they won't hurry up to release it earlier. They will release it after seeing the true performance's of the cars and lots of testing.

Really looking forward to see it :smile:

That screenie in rainy conditions looks mighty tasty! Preorder time already?

 

[Konrad Stanczak]

Screens look yummie, but ill be happy to see it on my PC working first before i get overexcited :wink:

 

[Pieter Theron]

Dev time on this game have been quite long so I hope it is not only eye candy at the end of the day with physics from the 70's :lol:

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

I wish it had physics from the 70s. Best F1 era

Well I waited for F1 2009 for PC last year (since Dicember 2008) and I did not got what I was waiting for so to wait for a F1 2010 game for PC won't be so hard to do BUT I hope they release the game for PC or I will get mad like I did last year. (and I hope the game is not connected to steam (I just dont like the steam function IMO))

 

[Michael Herrmann]

i dont think that this are real ingame shoots my bet is on some nice artwork
and without a demo to see the physiks i wont by anything of Codemasters anymore

 

[Ivan Mills]

there is a demo of the game on youtube isnt there?....it looks really bad..the physics of the car are awful,but i could be wrong

 

[Simon Smith]

Now can we have DLC for the f1 seasons we've suffered without a yearly update? pweeeeease?

 

[Mark O'Connor]

I'm sure it will look good but, I bet the physics will let it down

No, you must have seen F1 2009 for PSP an Wii, those are not the most powerfull platforms at this moment

If they had done a good job with the PSP Version then we could at least hope for a good PC version, but Codemasters F1 2009 for the PSP is pretty poor. There are much better driving games for the PSP. So it doesn't bode well for their PC version. It wont even get close to Simbin's stuff.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Lets hope it doesnt get close tbh. You can say about codemasters what you want, but at least they release a finished game without a ton of bugs that need to be patched every month.

They did an amazing job with DIRT2 and if they continue down the same route they can make a game that appeals to everybody, regardless if they are arcade or simmers.

Any idea's on the physics? ie. compared to MMG F1 Mod?

Or will it be a typical 'great graphics, ****ty physics' game?
