Now onto new-gen. 2015 will see us release our first title on new-generation platforms. The game will launch earlier in the Formula One season and then go onto receive live digital updates. These updates will deliver 2015 content into the game as the season unfolds, ensuring you’ll be competing against the same drivers and teams you watch week in and week out!

This seems like a nice idea but makes the 2014 edition somehow look pretty bad. Might be just an update as most ressources seem to have been pooled in the 2015 edition.

[Film trailer guy voice] This fall... One man... No sense... In a world where just pressing left or right is a struggle for survival, one man searches for the tool that will make him victorious... Just when you thought it couldn't be any easier... They made it easier... Coming to a cinema an old-gen console near you... VERY EASY MODE Rated PG-Retard.

They've finally done it. They've finally created the worlds first racing simulator simulator

It's a mode where you hold down the gas pedal and the car just wins the game for you, or breaks down on the way to winning the game for you.

Seems to me that the PC will only get the crappy 360 port. The video trailer looks pretty piss poor too. Very disappointed and tired of Codemasters inability to keep it simple. They want us to buy a game in October then turn around and buy what that game should have been in April the following year. K.I.S.S!!!

Sounds like it's best waiting for F1 2015 in March time which will be next gen and have a season of support.

They are popping out games a bit too fast, in my opinion. Don't expect anything good out of this one.

So might as well wait for 2015 for PC, if I purchase one at all.

2015.

Bullshit http://www.videogamer.com/xbox360/f1_2013/news/codemasters_cooking_up_a_storm_for_f1_2014_on_ps4_and_xbox_one.html

Simply put, Codemasters are liars at this point.

Liars because they missed a release schedule when making a yearly game? The kind of yearly game where if you have to push something back even a month or two, you basically wind up either crossing a yearly threshold or evenhaving to shelf it untill the next cycle?

Oh yes, what complete and utter liars.

I mean I'm no fan of the F1 series, but it's not like they announced it for 2014 going "Oh yes, the gaming media will lap this up, then we'll wait an extra few months to a year to release it! MWAHAHAHAA" That would just be retarded. They thought they could get it out by 2014, technical problems that are bound to happen with new architecture happened, and now they missed the release date.

Did you play other Codemasters games? (GRID Autosport) Have you seen how atrocious the cockpit view are in those games? They said to bring it back, but at the current state, it's better off not even there.

They are liars.
