F1 2015!

This is a must buy for me I think. Pre ordering a limited edition from game. I just feel like it's going to be a very very good game and they are simply keeping expectations low for their first next/current gen effort. Because let's not forget, thus isn't just the first current gen f1 game, it codemasters first as well. This will set the tone for things like dirt, grid and anything else they may use the new ego engine for.

Just got a very good feeling about this game and the people complaining and hating on codemasters on their official forums are gonna miss out on something special I feel.
 
I suppose. Just surprised that all we've really seen of gameplay so far are some dodgy off-screen E3 videos, especially since this is Codemasters first game coming out on the new hardware. Seems strange there's been no extensive previews from sites like insidesimracing or teamVVV. I feel like they're hiding something...
 
Looks excellent. Glad to see updated cars in there so nice to know it has a day one patch. The AI look like they will be a good challenge for once, and it looks visually beautiful.

Graphically, the game looks decent although everything looks a bit too clean and flat. Also, the wheels in some cars (Sauber for example) look too small in the cockpit cam. Still no details on pit stops, safety car, marbles, tyre temps, penalties, ERS etc...

Well obviously pit stops are in we have seen them, marbles and tyre temps are as it's part of the rebuilt physics model, penalties have been seen in videos for corner cutting st least so expect more there and ERS? Well unless this isn't actually an F1 game I imagine the cars power units are included.
 
Yeah game looks a lot better now, will probably pick it up after Project CARS, 60 FPS is a game changer will wait for DF analysis though.
 
60fps but it does drop on certain tracks in certain situations the devs have said. I would imagine back of the field in Monaco during stormy conditions might be one of those situations. Replays are 30fps which is disappointing I guess but they look so good in don't mind at all.

Can you switch cars in replays, if not then I really don't understand why the replays are 30 fps...
 
Not sure on that. Haven't seen any replay videos that have the controls on screen. Teamvvv will be uploading more videos over the coming days do maybe we can find out in some of those. Though I imagine it might have something to do with the TV angles having to squeeze in more trackside detail and stuff but who knows.
 
Hopefully those rain drops that sit on the screen can be turned off. Also, it would be better if the driver's hands don't go through the chassis when turning the wheel.

List of voice commands taken from the F1 2015 manual, not sure if its been posted yet:

VOICE CONTROLS
The Voice Controls system will allow you to directly interact with your Race Engineer. You can request detailed information about the current session or even request on the fly changes to your race strategy.
In order to use the Voice Controls system, take the following steps where the system is available:
  • Press and hold the Voice Controls button
  • A list of possible commands will appear
  • Speak one of these commands as it appears. When it is recognised, the command will be highlighted and the Race Engineer will confirm that he has understood
Certain commands will take you to a new list with more detailed commands. For example, in a race, the Box This Lap command will load a new list that will include commands to set which tyres and downforce levels to put on at your next pit stop. Remember to keep the Voice Controls button held until your Engineer has understood your commands, as this will ensure he continues to listen.

First time I see them, maybe they shouldn't have spent time with those cheesy TV-like cut scenes...

Knowing Codies, this will go wrong 60% of the time all the time.

Different team to the ones in the past though, new lead etc. I think, and indirectly Alan on Team VVV has mentioned, perhaps the lack of modes and stuff is an indication that they are working on making the game work, as in work properly. It's really the only reason I can see them having for leaving out staples like career mode. Just make a good game that works and build on that.

Mark my words, this game won't be broken, won't need many if any patches and 2016 will have career mode back as well as any other features we may have lost in this iteration.

Aww man, dont tell me things like that :P

I'll probably get pence for the game I will trade, F1 2014, grid autosport, fifa 14 and drive club. But hey, every little helps.

Not a chance, I accept your bet :D

@Classic you did WHAT?

I got rid of pCARS, was sick of waiting for the patches and dealing with the bugs for a lacklustre career mode. Just wasnt for me I suppose :)

It doesn't have a Career mode?! Is it just a single season approach then? If so, then that is pretty crazy. It is up to us to imagine our own career progress I guess - Start with Marussia and begin a new season with Sauber for example.

In truth we don't know much about how it will be structured. But yes it seems like a straight forward championship style affair with a few nifty things thrown in.

I'm honestly surprised so many people are this disappointed at the lack of a career mode. Admittedly, the last Codies F1 game I played was 2011, but they didn't seem to do anything revolutionary or interesting with it. You could move up to better teams which was cool, but the interviews seemed to have zero affect on anything, and otherwise it was just a standard season affair anyway (correct me if I'm wrong). I want to see an F1 game (or any series-based racing game, for that matter), with a dedicated franchise mode where the player gets to act as driver, technical director, owner, etc. and move resources around to build a better team. That could actually be interesting.
