Last year I planned to buy the F1 title, but ultimately skipped it because I wasn't exactly convinced that it was worth the money. Reading this, I'm not exactly convinced to buy it this year either. Guess I'll enjoy myself with going sbinalla in Assetto Corsa with the Race Sim Studio F1-like cars instead.

this whole idea of needing to buy a whole new game because it's another season is ridiculous.

[–] Gerryflap 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah exactly, I'm definitely not planning to buy one every year. But maybe every 2nd or 3rd year just to get the updates. Or at the end of the year when it's 10 euros or something. It's the same as with Fifa and other sports games. Enough people buy one every year, so apparently some people want to pay this fee.

I don’t think I’m gonna end up getting it unless they add PSVR2 support. Going back to flat from VR just isn’t even close to the same experience

[–] Beardy 4 points 2 years ago

Agreed, though the VR support in the previous release was real poor. Can't imagine PSVR2 would actually get supported well.

There's also no triple monitor support

I played for an hour or two today (50% career mode race) and really enjoyed the new handling model. It's now possible to counter steer even with a gamepad. Another positive thing is that floor damage doesn't occur all the time, as it did last year. That drove me crazy. Graphics also look nice.

So, the driving itself is more fun. The AI also put up a fight (I play on AI 100), without doing anything stupid like steering straight into you. Only nitpick regarding the AI: they are super slow off the line. I can make up way too many places at the start.

Unfortunately, otherwise the career mode has no big changes or new features at all. They only tweaked some minor things ("discounts" on development parts seem to be much higher than last year) but otherwise it's the same as it has been in the last few years. I initially wanted to play MyTeam but it's the same as last year too, so there's still no proper livery editor. And the base liveries all look terrible in my opinion. So regular career mode it is for me.

I hope they've got the handling sorted. I barely played F1 22 because of how the cars handled, it just didn't feel good to me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Haven't played an F1 game properly since 2013! I was quick at that one. We need c/simracing for sure!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

TLDR: its F1 2022 with some new liveries, upddted physics and some new bugs

[–] TSMKFail 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes but the updated physics actually make the game fun. When You spin or slide it feels more like your mistake than the game deciding F You. You can also correct slides and the game is now playable on controller, fixing the steering direction change lag.

22 was wank. 23 is the best in terms of driving since 17/18. The graphics are also massively improved if your on PC with all the Ray tracing features.

[–] riotrick 2 points 2 years ago

Curious about the control updates. Always found the f1 games pretty difficult to drive with a controller. Much more difficult than games like grant turismo, forza motorsport/horizon or grid, which are perfectly drivable with a controller.

[–] iamgamerman 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I wish Codemasters would focus on improving the core gameplay, co-op mode, league features, new animations, or returning classic cars over expanding the braking point drama styled story.

I need less couch customization and more substance to be motivated to hop back in to a yearly release.

[–] iamgamerman 1 points 2 years ago

Do you mean the co-op mode I referred to? That’s the online career mode you can do with another player they introduced in 2021.

If couch customization was confusing I’m referring to how they literally had a battle pass to give you more couches to decorate your virtual room lol.

I've been eagerly waiting for the announcement to see if this one will have motion control using the dualsense controller. GT7 has spoiled me

But sadly, it looks like there's no motion control this year as well

Xbox really held back the industry on motion controls which is crazy since they had so much investment in Kinect
