Good impressions Pappy and I agree with you on your comparison to PCars. F1 2016 really nailed it this time and I hope it continues to improve for 2017 and beyond.

Sounds like codemasters is investigating a PS4 Pro patch in the future. http://www.videogamer.com/ps4/f1_201...r_f1_2016.html

I don't have a 4K tv sadly, so no need for the pro

I was ready to buy this game on Friday the 2nd but I fell off a ladder and broke my darn arm and sprained my wrist. Definitely picking this up when I'm healed up. I can do some light gaming now but no intense racing yet.

For those that haven't tried it you should at least get it when the price goes down. I had it since launch and its still my favorite game.




Bye

All the pre-release buzz about Nascar Heat got me itching to try a deep racing game career mode. With its lackluster reviews and seemingly shallow career, I decided to skip Heat and began reading about alternatives, which landed me squarely on F1.

I'm glad it did.

I grabbed this over the weekend and I am loving it. I am by no means a racing game veteran, and I'm definitely not someone who follows F1. But this game may change me. Everything about it is deep and polished and a ton of fun. As a newb, the number of driver assists are great, and the tutorials, while short, do help introduce a few basic concepts.

The race weekends and their practices are what really work well. They turn a single race into something that really feels like an event, which leads to a much deeper-feeling career mode. I'm only 2 weeks into my first season, but already I feel like I'm invested. The entire thing feels alive.

Anyway, I know I'm preaching to the choir, but I thought I'd leave this here in case any other folks like me came stumbling in. I like this enough that I'm not just recommending the game, but I'm looking forward to learning more about the real F1 (which is the true sign of a great sports game: making you more interested in the actual sport!).
