Title: F1 2011
Post by: AlanD on 12 September 2011, 17:12
The new seasons F1 game allows you and a buddy to become team mates and race a whole F1 season. So, who fancies being No.2 with me in a team? :D

I really want it but I've only just started my 2nd season on 2010 (doing full race weekends, 40% races). Plus I have Gears of War 3 on its way. so wont get any time. Will finish 2010 a bit more then wait for a price drop I think.

I might have to get this version, will make good use of the steering wheel then. Plus having a mate as a team mate is a big plus.

I ordered it from the website you suggested for the new Batman game Nick, going to order from them more often as they are cheap and from the looks it sends games out early. I downloaded there app for my phone and got update notifications of when my game was being dispatched, delivered etc. Very impressed - http://www.shopto.net/

I wouldn't worry too much Nick, I won't get it till end of the month, and I need to buy another live subscription yet. :laugh:

Well so far its been brilliant. Didn't have 2010 to compare it to though so not sure how similar / different it is. The handling took some getting used to buts its brilliant how your tyres degrade over time and you can really feel the lack of grip on a set of old tyres. You lose grip if you go offline and pick up marballs.

Played some quick (3 laps) online play last night that was brilliant, real wheel to wheel stuff. You get penalised (time penalty) for causing accidents so people actually try and avoid accidents, obviously they still happen as people out break themselves etc. I can see some real good forum races coming from this if lots of people get it . . ?

Jeynesey my brother from another mother, Im game for that, no one else has offered :D (Id always choose you anyway sweetheart :kiss: )

just picked a copy up from asdas  :smiley:

gota say i think its better than 2010 but as alan said the handling is a bit erm strange
Title: Re: F1 2011
Post by: AlanD on 23 September 2011, 17:41
Got used to the handling now. Took a while though. I do really well but my biggest problem is staying on the track. You go offline and hit the marbles and you lose ALL grip and just understeer off the track :angry: :angry:

Monaco is easier than last year and toke a while to get the difficulty right, but all in all it is an improvement on last years, do miss the winners press.

My missus surprised me last night when i got back from work with a copy of the game...and the GT steering wheel (ps3)!!

Started with williams. The difficulty is that you try and drive like you did in 2010 which you cant as the handling is completely different! its took me a while to get use to it. All my drivers aids are off apart from abs, and AI is set to pro. Overall so far so good

Anybody fancy a co-op champ? on ps3

I am considering going to my local 24hr tescos and buying this game now as I have bugger all to do tonight...who says what about this game? Worth it? I have NFS shift 2 unleashed and a few of the other NFS track racing games and enjoy them both. Is this the type of game where you make upg to your car say like NFS or a game like FIFA where your player/driver develops?

PS have looked at reviews just wondering what you guys think!

Online is way better in this one. Just had a good hour or two playing randoms and was a right laugh.

Alan - Fixed my problem with online, installed a firmware update on my router and it's sorted.

Downloaded this and been playing for the last 2 hours. Good game so far. I've got it set on hard, came 12th at Melbourne and was about to win at Malaysia on the last lap last corner when the game crashed. FML.
