F1 2010

as we know..codemasters is responsible for great racing games in the recent years..GRiD...DiRT..here's this year's title: F1 2010.

I didn't hear about this game until recently as i thought it was an EA game..here are some pretty astonishing info from wiki:

Quote:
F1 2010 will feature "the most complicated weather system ever seen in a racing game" [8] which is integral to F1. When rain starts to fall, the track will gradually lose grip, with some areas losing grip faster than others. "Overhanging trees, for example, will shelter the track, while dips and indentations in the tarmac will hold more standing water and provide a greater risk." [9]

When the rain stops, a "drying line" will start to appear which will provide more grip which will make it easier to drive. If a car strays from the dry line, the tyres will lose grip and it will be harder to drive. Evolving track will also be featured elsewhere in the game; at the start of a race weekend, the track will be "green" and therefore have less grip, but as the weekend progresses, rubber will be laid down onto the track, increasing the grip.[9]
game will be out in 3 weeks. with gt5 not too far from now..i'm not sure if i should pick this up as well.

I have those old-ass F1 games from the PS2. Solid games, and I'll probably pick this one up.

Bought a wheel yesterday. Played some Dirt 2 (WORST interface EVER in a PC game) and NFS Shift demo (that was pretty good!).

SO GLAD that F1 is coming out for PC, I HATE HATE HATE playing these console games in shitty 720p res

don't have a DX11 compatible PC to compare so i'm perfectly happy with racing games on the consoles...

can't wait for gran turismo ...60fps 1080p ..even though i know i won't be as impressed as i was back in 2008 with prologue's release...hopefully jaggies are minimal.

You don't need much of a PC these days to outpower a console. Consoles are DX9 level for graphics (PS3 even lower). I bet you could put together a $300 PC that outperforms a $300 console.

Also, GT5 will be upscaled to 1080p, not true 1080p. 60 fps will be nice though, that's for sure.

I go NFS Shift for PC, it's pretty good! I run it at TRUE 1080p with full details and 4xAA. Looks beautiful and runs at 60 fps

I hope they get the sounds right... Having the weird buffeting sounds of the McLarens' exhaust system would be so awesome

what? it's on their promotion for Power Trade (50% extra value toward the game).

I think I might take my Transformer WFC and PT toward it ($60 back).

Only question is, should I go PS3 or 360? I have wheel on 360 but I like the disc in Bluray so it won't scratch as much....
