Formula 1™ 2010 - Game (PC/XBOX360/PS3)

Sounds like there are a lot of problems.

 

I got my copy this afternoon for the PS3, so far I'm enjoying it but there are some issues.

 

Sold out at all our Best Buys

 

I agree, it's a fantastic game but all the little things really seem to add up, I hope they can patch it easily.

 

yeah the tire puncture thing is outta control.

 

They must take steve matchett seriously about the shards of carbon.

 

Got the game and ive played it for a few hours. I havent got one tire puncture yet! Dont know if im lucky or what.

The game is great, seems like you may spin just a little to easy but thats how it is with race tires. Theres no give in race tires, even autocross rcomps like kumho v710s. The give level of race tires is little to none however I would like a tiny bit more give for the game.

The game overall is great, the handleing is fun and if you put the race line on it really helps with eliminating spinning and whatnot.

BTW im playing with no assists and AI on legendary. The game is difficult thats for sure. Its very hard (with my lotus) to qualify above 20 or so. However im still learning.

The one thing about this game that is just great is the atmosphere. Being in the pits in your garage watching the live timing of the quali session with cars flying by on the main straight and cars rolling by in the pit lane. The game is just great, adapt to the handling and get really smooth and this will be a really great game. Just a blast.

Go buy it! If anyone wants to have a Fchat race somewhat soon post it up lets find a time that works for everyone!!

 

I had my biggest complaint a few minutes ago. I was at Catalunya and in 1st, which wasn't easy. I pitted at the last chance and went from 1st to 16th. The Kubica ended up winning, but he never pitted, he was on options the entire time. These little things are really starting to get to me.

 

Glad I'm not alone with some of the issues. I've never had a tire puncture, but I am only playing on intermediate. I lack the simracing experience you guys have. It's mostly been Gran Turismo for me.

I hate myself for doing it already, but I can't keep myself away from the game. When it's good, it's awesome!

Let's definitely get an FChat race going. If nothing else, it could be a fun demo derby!

 

I can't believe it but I was playing from about noon until just now. Way too addictive, and I'm there with you on the intermediate side, though I've noticed the Professional AI is actually easier than the Intermediate AI.

 

Getting on full throttle too soon. You have to ease it up consistently coming out of a corner (especially if you miss the apex). I've only had a couple of spins when I first started, but haven't found it to be overly unforgiving.

Lot's of tourque+instant throttle=spin. Regarding the graphics, they're clean but I wouldn't necessarily rate them above the F1 game that came out at PS3 launch. I'll have to look at them side-by-side.

 

No tyre puncture issues yet. I haven't played the career mode, but nothing seems over-the-top unforgiving to me....YET!

 

Ok now after playing longer I realized that putting medium (the lowest) traction control on, it makes the whole spinning thing good for me. Makes a great balance of a little give while still being capable of a spin.

Im having a blast playing this game, just having a hard time finishing a race not in dead last. (AI on legend with only medium tc). Im at my first race in the career and I have the track down now, but I cant help but have one spin in the race that puts me out of where id like to be. Ill play a lot tomorrow and get things sorted out.

This game is soooo awesome, im loving it.

It seems to have quite a steep learning curve. I never use the race line in any other game but it helps me a TON in this game to get used to the track. I highly reccommend using it in your practice session before each GP.

 

LOL It was 3am and I was tired...it's only midnight now and I'm still having issues with it. My spins are when I'm still very low speed and low on the throttle. I've been practicing with easing onto the throttle, but nothing has been working. I don't have a prob with it in other games. I just can't get past Shanghai, where it seems to be happening worse than anywhere else. I'm using a Logitech Force GT wheel with a Playseat.

I'll just keep practicing until I rage quit again, then start again the next night. I turn the racing line on for the first 10 or so practice laps, then turn it off and do another 20 or so. Thanks for the tips, guys!

 

You gotta be *$&#(#ing me. I decided to just put it on easy for a while to learn the game better. I'm running 3rd at Shanghai with 2 laps. I spin out, my own fault for cutting too early, and drop to 10th. Then, last lap, I reach the turn just prior to the "Made with China" sign. I straighten out, 2nd gear, ease slow onto the throttle....magic spin, 23rd place. I don't know if I got hit or what, but there is no way even Hawking could describe the physics of why I spun.

So, on to Spain. 4th practice lap and no matter what I try, I always spin out at the 2nd to last corner. I decide to pit, get hit from behind while on pit road, BAM! 5 grid spot penalty. I think I woke my wife up with my "WHAT THE HELL!?!?"

I'm glad you guys are having better luck with this than I am.

 

What platform are you on?


I'd love to have a race or three for Fchat guys that have the game for PS3.

 

I stayed up until 3am racing people online at random. Some folks have some skills. others just want a crashfest. One thing that is irritating me if I'm doing well or winning during a three lap race, other drivers will quit & leave the session. I'll be playing again this evening so let's get some races going!

 

Just got my copy now, gonna have a nerd night in.

 

GameStop called me Thursday at 6pm. Got the game.

Plusses and minusses. . .

Those low speed spins - WHAT THE HELL !!!

Also, got hit from behind during practice -- 5 grid penalty.

Picked Sauber, my mistake. Meant to do Lotus or STR. Oh well, only 3 seasons!

Wife's going to be away this weekend. Delivery pizza and beer!

 

Been playing on and off for around 2 1/2 hours and I have no problems.

 

You can't be full on the throttle and have the wheel turned from a slow corner. Brake early, easing on the gas through and when it straightens up hit it.

Got the game last night, was finally able to sit down this morning and run the first race. I like the layout. First thing I did was turn T/C to limited (medium setting). Qualified 7th, finished 5th. I chose the short weekend, I guess that's why it didn't do a proper qualifying session? I'll do a long weekend tonight to see if it's different. Over all I'm extremly satisfied. I didn't realize how many times Bahrain changed elevation, and apparently they've changed the layout since F1CE.
