F1 2011 - Codemaster

[beckham7]

2010 was too buggy. I hope Codemasters get it sorted this time around.

It's confirmed - NO Safety car again.

Oh, FFS

[Peruzzi]

Wouldnt surprise me one bit if all the bugs were still in, and it just had new liveries.

I really dont care if the Safety Car isnt in. Not a big concern for me, but i understand that for authenticity, it should be there and many sim racing games have it in. So its unfortunate.

According to what i've read on the Codemasters forums, safety car hasn't been ruled out

According to what i've read on the Codemasters forums, safety car hasn't been ruled out

This is what i found on a german site:

Earlier this year, the Safety Car was in the game F1 2011 still in prospect, now comes the rejection of Codemasters. Stephen Hood, lead games designer of F1 2011 to:

quote:
"First of all: It is not too difficult to integrate the safety car, because we could quite easily accomplished, however, it is about it the right way to integrate goes for us it does not matter on the package back of a long list of features.. to have, but rather to consider things that bring out something more playful perspective. Just what concerns the safety car, there are some complex things that many people do not understand, for example, restrictions in the licensing and how the system works in a variety of scenarios. "

"We will not integrate the safety car as a video scene, but the safety to make car segments playable, which in turn raises a number of questions. What happens when the safety car is used? What divides the Renngingenieur the drivers in such a case? how do you keep the tires up to temperature and how you save gas? how do you approach the resumption of the race? There are a lot of things in mind you need and that takes time. We are the safety car at the time in the game when integrated, we believe that it feels right. Sooner or later it will be in the game with it. "

It's not definitely in but it's also not definitely out either

[Arsenalisti]

Fingers crossed then.

[beckham7]

It would be nice (and official) to have the Safety Car in 2011 especially as last year they stated that they wanted to put stuff in that they didnt get around to doing last year.

However I do remember a Racing game from the past which had a Safety car in it and it got boring slowly trundling behind the Pace car and weaving to keep Tires up to temperature. Might have been Newman Haas Racing from the PS1 days.

I think also on that game you could SKIP the Safety Car period UNLESS you wanted to pit in during this time. From a strategic point of view the Safety Car could spice up races and make them more interesting. I also hope its easy enough to activate/deactivate DRS and KERS.

Id like to ask them a Question. Is the game going to be in Stereo 3D? I have a 3D TV and not a lot of 3D Games
