That was my first thought, yet another year on this outdated engine. Doesn't give me much hope for the gameplay.
I think you were expecting abit too much with that. Codemasters aren't ditching that EGO engine anytime soon.
Looked like a 720s to me
2020 is probably the most polished of the PS4 / XB1 era, solid handling, good stable graphics, classic cars, working multiplayer and the introduction of MyTeam the team management mode that is much loved.
This pretty much sums it up. I put some 400 hours into 2020 and barely scratched up 50 with 2021. 2020 was excellent, especially with My team, 2021, aside from what was mentioned above, just didn't push this forward enough, felt like too much of a rehash. Also not having all the circuits from the start somewhat blunted the experience.
Ok, not the first thing that'll come to the mind of many. Is that what you were actually expecting? Honest question.
(V8)Supercars have been a support category to F1 for many years and at some overseas events with F1. Same as Carrera Cup. Seeing how Codemasters made past V8 Supercars games and the rebranding of V8 Supercars to just plain Supercars, it’s not without merit.
Support category being used in the very thinnest possible term here. The odd race here and there does not a support category make. The Porsche Supercup, exclusively races on F1 weekends, V8 Supercars does not. Not even 1 a season and when it does go alongside F1 at Melbourne, it isn't even a championship event.
Umm, Supercars at the Melbourne GP IS a points paying championship event. It’s been for a few years since 2018.
Despite whatever markets. Then, what’s this say on the cover? I think I see “Codemasters” at the bottom. Did they make it or not?
Ummm, that's exactly what they were talking about. That's TOCA Race Driver 1, which has multi-discipline racing in it, and isn't just focused on the V8s. The name changed depending on the region; we got it as just "Pro Race Driver" in the US, "DTM Race Driver" in Germany, and ^ for Australia.
Was there any mention of Codies moving to Unreal for the F1 games? I have a hard time seeing how they'd be able to keep up the yearly F1 schedule if they switched to a completely new engine.
I still remember the studio heads being interviewed for F1 2015 to be released on the (then) brand new PS4. How they were hyping up that it was such a huge step-up, almost photorealistic & defining all the incredible improvements we'd see.
I just said that and acknowledged the markets. I bought all the Toca Games since the first. My point is Codemasters made the game. And to add to the point, this F1 game is adding cars that are not F1. So, it’s the same as they’ve done in the past with the TOCA games… again, adding cars that are not F1.
That would be correct. It was NASCAR 2005, but the cars drove exactly like the Cup cars so it didn't change things too much. I don't think the team at EA Tiburon bothered much with it rather than it being licensing issues.
I haven't seen anything about it but it might have been in the rumor mill. If going to Unreal is planned, I don't think it will happen until the PS4 and XB1 versions are dropped, so next year at the earliest but I think 2024 is more plausible.
