F1 2014 Launch Trailer

Same game as last year, and still nowhere near as good as Formula One Championship Edition

I've never loved the handling of Codemasters' F1 games ... can you give me an idea why you like F1:CE better? Never played it ... .

The handling is great. There is a ton of flexibility in how you want to play it. You can go arcadey or super sim. Graphics are great (even now).

Manly though it's the handling. In codemasters F1 games I feel like I'm driving a truck. In F1:CE responses in the car are lightning fast. You don't have to drive perfect like you do in codemasters, atleast not at the lower difficulties. It's just a faster, better handling racing game. I feel codemasters is a driving game, if that makes any sense.

Cool. Thank you. I think I will try it out.

I have just not been able to get into the Codemasters F1 games. I'm enjoying Grid Autosport, aside from the grind of career mode, and I feel like all of the intuitive handling feedback of the open wheel cars in that game is completely absent from the F1 games. I agree that it is essentially a "can you hit every precise braking point precisely perfect" driving game. Which, of course, might be a more accurate representation of F1, but I like to feel the tires under load and about to give out so I can feather it through the turns, not just have every single lap be a battle between dump truck push in some corners and snap-it-around looseness in others.

I'm just terrible at being that precise, and can almost never really sit and enjoy a race (although I did like the handling on some of the classic cars last year).
