I thought that was a live shot at first, wow.

We've seen F1 the cartoon (F1 22), this looks like the real deal.

It does look good. I'd expect it to though, it's had quite a long development (couple years maybe more) and they can focus almost solely on visuals, no driving physics, AI etc. The Codemasters engine is very out of date though and if it actually looks this good in motion then questions will naturally be asked.

This looks like it may be a good game especially if they are able to accomplish everything they talk about in the video.
 
What does "See you next week" mean? A gameplay trailer, maybe? A release date would be nice too but maybe I'm asking for too much. :lol:

I wonder if there's been an agreement in place where they've had to limit what they've shared as it's been the time for features announcements and trailer rollouts for EA's title.

They have been pretty quiet up to the last couple of days when you think this thing should be ready to go at this point. Looking forward to the new info!

A release date is likely given it's slated for a summer launch. I'd be expecting an in depth gameplay video and release date to be honest.

Looks excellent, the in race visuals look very pleasing to the eye, looks very in depth. Should get more info now.

August 25th release date.

Ah man that's a long way out, I was hoping for sooner but I guess they can't be in competition with EA for release dates.

I really need a game as well right now to get heavy into, oh well.
 
I wonder if you are able to speed up the race or make the races shorter?

Yeah mate if you check some of the gameplay footage now on youtube there's a pause and speed UI at the bottom during the race

I don't know about changing the race length though, you'd think it would be an option but if we can speed up I'm not too bothered.

thanks I did not see that. I agree with you if you can speed up the race The length won't bother me too much
 
Yeah I'd be surprised if we could change race lengths when that's an option. Would be a nightmare development wise to scale everything to different race lengths. When it's so strategy heavy.

I'm still amazed at the visuals for the races, it really looks quite excellent, I wasn't expecting a 3D depiction at all, nevermind one of that quality. Right down to the broadcast overlays and styling, very nice indeed.

PS5 pre-order price is currently £46.99. Versus £62.99 for F1 22, big gap in price, there's a real risk for EA and F1 22 that they could lose buyers to this game. F1 22 really needs to pull it out.
 
I still want to know more about what the game is like once you really get into it. One or two seasons of fun is okay, but what happens after that? Are there regens? Can you actually get different engine deals? What happens if you take over Alpha Tauri?

"Thankfully, F1 Manager 2022 will be an extremely long experience. As stated in the Twitter Space there is "almost not a limit" for the number of seasons you can play.

In short, as long as you keep the board happy and achieve your targets then you can keep playing on and on and on! This means you'll also have to think ahead, manage budgets for future seasons, and develop long-term strategies.

Regen drivers & staff
Part of this is because as drivers and staff members retire, a pool of "regens" is created that enter the game. This will be in the form of new F3 drivers and up-and-coming members of staff. While there are real-world personnel and drivers, these will be replaced by fictional drivers and staff after they retire."

F1 Manager 2022 won't limit the number of seasons

F1 Manager 2022 will last for as long as you stay in the job!

Very Football Manager in its approach there. No mention of engine deals or anything yet, I'd imagine due to licensing this won't be possible. Perhaps for the next iteration with a custom team it will be. Or even managing an F2 or F3 team to F1.

Interesting, but worth noting Football Manager has taken many iterations to get to a point where regens work well (enough) and its world can technically go on forever.

How F1 will do it first try will be the test of its longevity. I do wonder with the photos and likenesses of the real drivers and staff (which is awesome!), will there be 3D model equivalents for regens, as there is in FM, or are we looking at blank spaces once we move past the point of real staff retirements which would be disappointing and undermine their otherwise excellent attention to graphics and visual quality.
 
I enjoyed the gameplay video. Graphics look very good. Management options look in depth. I will definitely be buying this. Maybe not at launch but I think I will be getting this.

The game will feature detailed red flag scenarios.

You can change parts as well under red flag conditions as per real life, so there's a real strategy element to these as well as just being accurate to real life.

And a taste of some of the depth on offer.

Getting very hyped for this now. I'm impressed every time I see the visuals but honestly as F1 22 gets closer the desire for something different to the yearly CM experience gets a lot higher, I'm almost already disappointed in their effort (or lack of) and really appreciative we have something brand new to dive into in a couple of months. And it looks the business.
