I expect the game to be a port of the 3DS game and developed by Sumo Digital

We're racing RIGHT NOW - I'm typing this from the Steam browser, haha.
Crumb is down under though? I'm in Euroland as well, so that sounds good. Perhaps US gaf isn't into F1 to the same degree as us in Europe?Foliorum Viridum said:We're mostly Brits, so the evening

Yeah. Last year we took the AI behaviours from DIRT and from GRID. In slower series it works pretty well because the drivers are just making a key decision at any point in time. In F1 it doesn't work as there is so much going on around you and because you are going so fast and things change so often. Now we've almost got an AI driver with 6 brains. One's just looking at deploying KERS or DRS, the other one is thinking about overtaking, one about slipstreaming and one's thinking about blocking the guy behind. All of that ties into so the driver knows where the best place is to position his car on the track.
We had driver personalities last year but we've moved on so drivers like Hamilton and Alonso look for smaller gaps on the track, smaller little spots, so you can really begin to notice them. In the latest build at the moment, it's still the early stages, so they are all really, really fast and they are all super aggressive. They are always looking to deploy their KERS and to get through but we can refine that back now.

Interesting stuff. I like the admission that the AI in F1 2010 was..well, not up to the task really. I hope that F1 2011 brings with it a true AI model and one that works in Qualifying as well as racing.mclaren777 said:
This will not be acceptable, you'll probably end up winning races in F1 2011 if you drive as well as you can do.Orgun said:Woah woah woah, hold your horses. That's my position.

Also can't wait to race with my new wheel this weekend with you cheeky assholes.
I'm the same boat. I have pre-warned my boss that I may need to run away next Wednesday but some confirmation either way would be greatly appreciated.Lucius86 said:I'm not sure if I am about this weekend for gaming - going to a gig Saturday and then Sunday is sure to be recovery and then a meal out at night.
When will we know if we have been invited Helios? Need to make up an excuse from work I need to leave a few hours early if I'm in!
They had this available for hands-on during E3. The visuals were really nice for a portable, even the latest iPad games, but the frame rate was a little iffy. The Codemasters dude told me they still had a lot of work to do, and that they'd have it up to 30fps by the release date. Personally, I'd rather they sacrifice some of that quality and at least match Gran Turismo PSP's frame rates (somewhere around 40ish, I'd guess) instead.RavenFox said:Hmm lot to see some Vita vids or screen shots.
It's £13 now on the Steam sale. It might have a daily deal, but if not that's still a pretty decent price.f0rk said:There's a Steam sale coming up right? If it's less than £10 might pick it up.
Lucius86 said:Right, so I am in for trying out F1 2011 next week. Thnx Helios.
Anybody have any questions they would like me to ask the dev team whilst I am there? I will post as much as I can on the game, NDA permitting, when I return.
I am hoping to record some bits from it, but Codies have not decided yet if they will allow any filming at the event - they will decide when we arrive.
Coldsnap said:Since f1 fans are here I ask this question (made a thread last night and no one replied). I want to get into watching F1 racing although I know absolutely nothing about it. How often are races? Which ones should I watch?
NihonTiger90 said:The races are generally every other week. British GP is the next one, and that's next weekend, July 9. Practice starts on the Friday before the race (three sessions) and extends into Saturday before qualifying.
Also, feel free to mosey on over to the F1 thread in OT. We're a pretty knowledgeable crew there and we'd be happy to help get you up to speed as well. We also have, I think, a list we just came up with of races to watch to get into the sport. If not, feel free to ask and we can come up with one for you.

Foliorum Viridum said:Ask about stuff that's important to us, Lucius, in online play.
Eg:
League support? Online replays? An option to prevent cars ghosting so we can have more competitive races? Spectating after DNF/DSQ or crossing the line first rather than staring at that goddamn leaderboard?
Everyone will be asking about single player and the driving model, etc, so I say try and get some details nobody else will ask about... even though they probably won't comment.
I'll try to ask as many questions as I can about plans for community support, because while the back end of F1 2010 wasn't great for online play, the driving itself was so good it made the efforts we made worth it.Foliorum Viridum said:Ask about stuff that's important to us, Lucius, in online play.

Edit edit: Ah, the HUD. I will try to collar the UI designer with a picture of the current FOM graphics and say "Do that, please".AcridMeat said:Ask if the AI exists on the track, after you've hassled them about replays and everything else our league wants with multi.
edit: Also let us know what HUD they're using, if you can. As in, are they using the graphics from the actual race broadcasts this year or not?
Pizza Luigi said:Wooh! I won the game in an E3 Pre-order contest. When it is released somewhere in September I'll just get it for free. What an amazing surprise!
I would've bought in anyway, obviously, because it's up there with my most wanted games for this year, but still, I can save the money for something else. Yay!
Oh an Lucius, ask them two things. First, if they'll finally put my name in there as a voiceover (It's Bob, one of America's most common names (not that I'm American), so why the fuck is it not in there? I know Codies is UK based but still). Second, it has probably something to do with licensing issues, but the name of the normal driver is still on your own car in the career. For example, I was racing alongside Buemi in the Toro Rosso car, but Alguesari's name was still on it. It would actually add something to the experience if your own name would be plastered on it.
EDIT: Oh, and will they incorporate Vettels finger?
Lucius86 said:Ha, 2 of those things I was going to raise myself! Why the fuck is Luke not there either, but 'Lady' is, and the Vettel fingering everyone was going to my my last one of the evening
Wow, I watched that earlier today based on your post. Crazy S going down, some moving imagery too.isamu said:OK, after watching "Grand Prix: The Killer Years", I really REALLY hope CM will throw in some vintage tracks. Man, the footage of the old Spa and Hockenheighm were AMAZING!!!!
Helios_CM said:Sorry to disappoint but F1 2011 on consoles will be 720p and 30fps, the same as our previous racers this gen.
Dan27 said:Thank you Helios - I'll be passing on F1 2011 then.. I personally think a locked 60fps should be at the core of modern racing games, especially with regards to a game based on Formula One. Turn 10 have been doing this for two years with Forza, and I dont use my PC enough to warrent spending ££s on the graphics card to do F1 2011 justice.
Here's where I bow out - I hope the rest of you enjoy the game.
There weren't many noobs and he got dominated?Foliorum Viridum said:Lucius just sent me a text. The words 'dominating' and 'noobs' were used.
Dan27 said:I think the smoothness of Forza turned me into a framerate snob with regards to console racing sims.. it just feels ugly to go "back" to 30fps, and personally I didnt enjoy F1 2010 because of it (and other racing games). I like the smooth feel that 60fps provides in racing sims, it just feels *right* to me. All my personal opinion though - I am sure the game will be great for everyone here who are not as concerned as me about specifics!
Pretty much. The king has been dethroned.Kyaw said:There weren't many noobs and he got dominated?

Still no Steam sale for 2010

If any other GAFers are on the fence, a lot of us are still very active and will be welcoming to new racers (You can't be worse than Orgun)
