A bit off topic...but related to the AC F1 AI discussion... someone was kind enough to send me the PC version of F1 2020 from Codemasters. I have the game for consoles but you can't buy it for PC anymore. It's not available on Steam anymore.
It's light years better than the new Codemaster titles that came after it (the only one I didn't buy is the new 25 so can't say about that).
Why it's not available on Steam anymore?
I think its reputation would hamper the sales of the new EA F1 titles because it simply puts them to shame. Sure its FFB is not nearly as good as AC, iRacing, RBR or RF2 but it's ok. And of course the steering is a bit "numb" and it doesn't have much of tyre feel.But I'm the first one to admit that the AI is pretty amazing compared to AC (proper blue flag/outlap AI, etc).
This game is the reason I never bothered with modern F1 seasons on AC. Sure the driving is not as good as on AC but the rest of modern F1 stuff (DRS, ERS is so flawlessly implemented) F1 2020 was actually a good game. I wonder what made them to lose this quality in their later releases.
Just imagine this game with AC's physics and moddability.
