And with a new damage level that is appropriately titled “simulation”, small collisions with a wall that players would have got away with before are now a race-over scenario. The cars definitely have a better sense of weight and inertia, and so direct and precise steering input is even more crucial than ever if you don’t want to end up nose first into the tyres.
The handling and damage models have been tweaked and improved again too. These all work together to really immerse the player in a race weekend, and the fans of the sport will no doubt love this attention to detail. The virtual safety car system introduced to the real sport by the FIA last year has also been applied, and for the first time the formation lap and manual race starts have been added. Starting in one of the bottom teams and working your way up year-on-year is a reflection of the mechanics of the actual sport, and I’m really glad to see this back.Īnother returning feature is the safety car, but Codemasters wasn’t content to stop there. Giving the player a gaming experience that spans 10 seasons, it allows for some light RPG elements with rivalries, changing teams each year (or even mid-season), and an overarching goal of becoming world champion. Many of the features that were stripped out in F1 2015 have been resurrected, plus a few extras.įirstly, it’s a welcome relief to see that the career mode has made a return after it was inexplicably culled last year. In a similar fashion to what was done with Dirt Rally, they’ve taken on board the feedback of the community and set about crafting an experience that focuses on both simulation and immersion. After a very disappointing entry last year, Codemasters has gone back to the drawing board with F1 2016.
