Daniel Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Demo is out on Xbox live now. Thoughts? Did anyone play 2011? Played alot of 2011 and if you can get a few friends together it's a fun game. The online is kinda ruined by people who smash into each other on the corners.

AVFCforever1991 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I'll download it in a couple of hours.. Would be quite fun to have some kind of VT thing going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laivasse Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I found the handling on F1 2011 way too hard to wrap my head around. I'm kind of worried with the direction Codemasters are going what with Dirt: Showdown and now the news that they won't be bothered to model the car interiors in Grid 2. Even Dirt 3 which I liked was a bit of a step backwards from Dirt 2. I doubt I'll be checking this out unless everyone and their granny says it is absolutely mindblowing.

AVFCforever1991 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Downloaded it, and am quite impressed tbh.. Will probably get the full version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyClarke Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 How does it compare to 2011? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Played both releases a fair bit and the improvement between 2010 and 2011 was so vast I don't really see how they could improve *that* much this time round. The only addition I'd want there to be would be maybe formula 2 as a starting point but I doubt that's included. I'll download it tomorrow and see but I can't see there being too many changes.

No they haven't changed too much.. Its quite hard to I suppose to change much with F1 games. Didn't really play much of 2011. Overall not a massive change from 2011.

The series has been split i think, so you've dirt showdown, with all the american extreme sports, buggies, all that bullshit, which i don't really like, and the another game for the proper point-to point rally. I think Codemasters have got the official WRC licence now aswell, so hopefully we'll see the series go back to its roots. I've downloaded the demo for F1, whilst Codemasters have said they've been working to make things easier for those that use a controller, it's still quite tricky, especially when cornering. Good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 it's still quite tricky, especially when cornering. Good though. Yeah I found that as well. Takes a little while to get used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 I think the car is very twitchy down the straights. I also think the car's a little understeery in slow speed corners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 The corners I struggle with are the long, raking ones when using using a pad. Struggle to keep it in a steady motion throughout the whole corner. Obviously not much they can do about it but still. Oh, and my only real complaint about last year was the step up to the hardest difficulty. On the one lower I was top 6 in a Williams then if i moved up I'd be battling with the HRTs etc. Found the spectrum of difficulty too broad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm conscious of the split, but I still find it worrying that the sequel to GRiD - which is no less of a serious racer than DiRT, really - sounds like it's only going to have Need For Speed style camera options, ie. no cockpit cam or car interiors. Also Codemasters' PC versions have been quite bug-ridden and technically wobbly since DiRT 2, with F1 2011 and DiRT 3 definitely being culprits. I just hope they're not getting into a habit of half-arsing stuff. Oh, and my only real complaint about last year was the step up to the hardest difficulty. On the one lower I was top 6 in a Williams then if i moved up I'd be battling with the HRTs etc. Found the spectrum of difficulty too broadMaybe that was my problem with F1 2011. With the DiRTs I can pretty much stick the difficulty to Extreme straight off and be guaranteed of a podium place within a couple of attempts, but with F1 I did the same and got slaughtered to the extent I was totally discouraged from playing.

Milfner Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I don't think they are necessarily trying to achieve that, I just think the sensitivity is just way too high and for some bizarre treason you can't adjust it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Surely there will be a way to change the sensitivity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 Yeah, i think it's a problem with the game. The Codemaster forums are full of complaints saying the same thing. Pretty sure it will be sorted in the final game or with an update after release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOTTI-THE-GOD Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 When is this due for release by the way ? I have 2010 and had a quick go on 2011 and pretty much hated it , thought graffically it was naff compared to 2010 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
