F1 2010 Impressions (PS3, 360, PC)

[bluengold34_OS]

We are still racing the heck out of this game online right now. Obviously the patch will make a big difference, but this game is still getting a ton of playing time. I'm not blind to some of the issues, but there are plenty of ways to enjoy this title, while we wait for the patch( at least for our group) On the PC version, they are already starting to bust out new mods on a daily basis. New car textures, 85% tire grip mod, new lighting mod, new skins...etc...etc.

I'm on the 360 and get no mods. What are the textures you're getting? Just curious. Also, I haven't found career mode to be unplayable with its current flaws. You guys do?

Well, right now they have released new textures for the cars theselves. They have also found a way to re-do all the track signs and lighting. As far as Career, we have not touched it yet, as we are only only doing MP and TT. They have released new FOV and race view cams also.

PC Version:

I'm not a huge fan of any single player mode anymore. My last attempt was on Forza 3 and it got boring quick. F1 2010 single player sounds cool if you're into the answer this question right and do this next, type deal. (I used my North Carolina accent there. LOL)

I'm really just looking for some online fun against other humans and that's pretty much where I'll stay. Unfortunately, I only have two fellow OS drivers on my friend's list.

I had the honeymoon feeling for about 3 days because the car is so fun to drive and the physics engine is very nice, but when you look at the obvious shortcuts Codemasters used and the obvious bugs and flaws they chose to ignore in order to get this game to press it leaves me very disappointed. AI cars not pitting. Timing and scoring jacked the eff up. No sector times during the race. It's too much. Race strategy is null and void because you don't know if the guy behind you is 20sec or 30sec behind. As F1 fans we understand that that 10 second gap means a lot when it comes to pit strategy and race pace adjustments. This game needs a huge patch but I'm not sure if the patch will fix so many glaring issues. So now it's on to FIFA 11 and NCAA 11.

NCAA 11 feels even more rushed and flawed IMO. Can't play a football game in which the defense is nonexistent among all of the other issues. You say there's no strategy in F1, but there's no strategy in NCAA either because the AI play calling is so terrible. You're also very restricted in what you can do strategy wise anyway. No shells, no shading inside/outside, no matchup assignments, can't bluff formations, etc. But, hey people still enjoy that appearantly, so the same can be said for F1 2010, it's all a matter of perspective.

The game is a lot of fun online, but unfortunately it doesn't seem populated at all. I've yet to get a race with anymore than 6 drivers. I don't get it because a lot of the bugs are strictly SP issues, so you'd think a lot of people would be racing MP instead.

I think all people see are the negative post about the game, and that has a lot of people holding off on buying the game until they see what type of patch CM releases. It's doing pretty well as far as sales go, but I think it would have done a lot better had the game not had so many issues obviously. This title may not be perfect right now, but if they patch it correctly, you will see a lot of people coming back to it.

Once they patch it, and you start seeing these incredible mods rolling out, you will start to see a large community racing this title. I am literally blown away by the mods out already( yes I keep talking about them ) and it will only get better.

Hey Lakers 24/7 What platform are you on? If you are on the 360 leave me your GT so I can link up with you online or anyone else who plays on the 360 can add me or leave your GT here.

On a different note, this game is far from unplayable...One thing I have learned is to stay away from the Codemaster forums(that place is one big negative mess right now).

It seems like guys are just looking for the bugs instead of finding ways to enjoy it (especially if you plan on keeping the game).

I'd be up for some online although I am horrible
