An OT's OP in which I don't have to scroll in order to read everything?
Not sure if nice little compact OT or if sequel is just bad...

Well, it really looks like the game could have been a simple DLC expansion to F1 2011.

If you go on the fact sheet for this game, they list all of the features I have including "race 24 real F1 drivers" and "race on 20 real world tracks" etc.
There has hardly been anything added this year it seems. The bugs etc have HOPEFULLY been fixed but we just don't know.
Also, downloading the demo now. It's going slowwww.

I preferred it before the edit. So indecisive, that's why you'll never be GAF champ.
What's your excuse then?

*clicks on trailer*
"What a liiiiiiiiiiii-"
*closes trailer*
Is it just me or does it look like they brought back the piss filter?

I'm trying the demo. First time playing F1 on a console lol. Really just let me get on with the tutorial. I've bought your other F1 games and my nice little reward is an unskippable
Alright you can just quit to main menu
And then do a season challenge I think.

Hahaha, also a good suggestion! 2011 + 1 gets across how little they've seemingly done as well, though!
And yeah, I always thought the piss filter looks back a little bit, too.
Demo nearly downloaded

Grabbing the demo now, will try it with a 360 controller and the wireless speed wheel.
What a contrast in |OT| to F1 2011......
and this is all because of the lack of marketing towards the game. It's crazy, really, last year we had so much to get excited about - this year we really have had sod all.
I do believe Foli did win the first league......

That was for Phleg, do try and keep up darling.
I did, throughout all of F1 2010 and 2011 if I remember right.
BOOOOM!
Sounds interesting, what does that actually mean in terms of features?
Not much, as for the rest of the game, we know next to nothing but they said that by tying it to their new gaming hub they want to achieve similar features as for Grid and Dirt :
- achievements / statistics
- comparison with other drivers and friends list
- updates and challenges (they mentioned special leaderbords for each real life GP week end, etc..)

Where the hell did they even announce this Racenet thing?
I don't think any of us had heard about it!

LOL nice, doing my first race and I already wasted all my flashbacks.
If I touch a car and then overtake it I have 6 seconds to hand the position back or get a penalty. I had 2 wheels off the road in the first corner after the first chicane and overtook 2 guys and had to handback positions as well.
Rules are much stricter. I do everything and anything in F1 2011. Maybe now I gotta race a little bit cleaner which will make the races a bit harder maybe...
Edit: I guess that means I can't just easily overtake 10 guys in one corner, which is good I guess. That usually involved a little touch here and there.

In a Gamescom interview and on the RaceNet twitter.
They tweeted some screenshots of the UI tied with F1 2012, it's actually pretty nice and has some informative stats :

Codemasters RaceNet ‏@CMRaceNet
So what does everyone think about F1 2012 coming to #RaceNet so far?
3 replies, haha. Right, my demo is done. Will be interesting to see what the handling and new penalty system is like. Will be weird not playing with a wheel on PC, though...

You have to do some of the driver training first before you can freely race, so far I like what I see but damn are the car's a bitch to keep straight at speed, it's like they oversteer just by touching the analog stick.
That does look pretty slick

Will download the demo as I arrive at home after work. This will be my first year playing it on a gaming PC, so I hope I'll finally be able to play with you guys.
Please, Codemasters, don't screw this game again. F1 2011 was a clusterfuck of bugs :-(

I like how they tweaked the cars grip, you can feel the loss but you won't instantly just spin out like in 2011, so there is a little more traction there like in 2010, I just dislike the oversteer down straights.
X360 demo is today, PC demo is tomorrow.
I kinda remember they announced it a while back.... dunno where i saw it.Where the hell did they even announce this Racenet thing?

On the pad, which I haven't used since 2010, I can barely control the car. So twitchy and understeering like hell. I won't be able to judge til I use my wheel tomorrow.
I like the new menus.

Is there an achievement for crashing into Maldonado?

Is it just me or does this look quite a bit worse than previous games?

Graphically, and I am used to the PC version, it's terrible.
The wet lap at Abu Dhabi drops to about 20fps, if I had to guess, too.
I feel sorry for anyone who can't play it on PC.
The OT that this game truly deserves.
This has the potential to completely ruin the online mode. If the system determining the penalties isn't perfect (in F1 2011 it was broken) it will end up penalizing people that are victims of idiots weaving around the track trying to avoid being overtaken or brake testing you before a corner.
So one of the big improvements for F1 2012 doesn't even work? Steve and Lee tweeted non-stop about how the game finally handled great while using a controller and then apparently it's still shit? At least this game got 88% on GamesMaster where they call it "The Dark Souls of the racing world". Hilarious.

There is one when you crash both into Hamilton and Alonso.

I am out of town for a week when this comes out, not going to pre order but buy it in the first 'sale' someone does for it, I don't see the reason to spend £35 on it this year.
I only have 2011 on pc but there is a mix of better and worse imo, the new lighting can look real nice and realistic at times but also there is a brown/yellow hue on everything again like 2010 which I hate. Looks like they improved whatever light bloom they use too.
Thing is, on my pc capture card if I up the contrast by 4% and the brightness up about 6% the game looks really nice and the colours are a tiny bit stronger, why the game doesn't look like this in the first place is beyond stupid.
