Does F1 2010 Cheat on Players? Video Proves Faked Times by AI Drivers

Another bug in F1 2010 emerged which proves that the game tricks with the lap results of AI drivers. Codemasters announced, that a patch is in the making that could dissolve this serious problem.

Didn't know about this. But I found it quite strange that in a very-damp track that still needed an intermediate-tyre for me, the AI was already posting dry-track lap times(ones that you'd only get using slick-tyres), and when I went out on-track all of them were still wearing intermediate-tyres. It was a big WTF for me.

This explains everything. Quite disappointing really. It's these kind of things that take away the magic from the overall experience. And without the safety car, I change my score from 8.5/10 to 7/10.

lol I already mentioned this in a comment before. it's a very bad bug when Alonso is running around in a wet race with slicks on and still manage first. another bug I bumped into last night is that the ai can go in pit behind me but never really stop for any changes (they'll just continue thru from entrance to pit lane to exit). another bug is that they can also go in pit without the limiter and suffer no penalties.

hazelamy4984d ago

alonso cheating? that's a shocker. :)

ProjectVulcan4985d ago (Edited 4985d ago )

Yup. I consider myself reasonably good at racing games. Was astounded when at practice at hockenheim soaking wet the AI managed to post 1.20s. I absolutely pushed my lotus to the edge on both wets and inters and only broke a 1.21.

Qualifying came around and it was bone dry. My very first lap on the option tyres was a 1.18 no sweat. However when i checked the AI times, they were struggling to break under 1.20. That the AI times were unbeatable in the wet but no faster in the bone dry on slicks is a glaring bug.

lol i traded this turd in at roughly 1635 today.

The childlike narrator's main problem is that he can't understand how a driver in second place can be faster than the driver in front. Has he never watched F1?
This is a badly formulated theory, if it was even thought out at all!
Children should not be allowed to pontificate as if they were presenting facts.

ultramoot4985d ago

It's not about who was in front or back. The problem was that the AI was posting an impossible time on the very first lap. The AI can't possibly be over 6 seconds faster on the opening lap than the player in that video.

Even Codemasters themselves admitted that the AI cars were there for visual purposes only, and that the AI lap times were more or less pre-determined by the game itself and not a proper timer like the player has. Go and have a look at their forums. No need to be a douchebag about it.

way to make yourself look stupid moviescouse...lol dam, id go spit in a mirror if i was you

Knushwood Butt4985d ago

Or go pontificate in a mirror..

ExPresident4985d ago

Without reading the article this reminds me of all those times as a kid I played games on the original Nintendo that made you scream, cry, and rage out of your mind about the AI being stupidly hard. Hearing that the AI cheats in a game does not shock me at all.

Knushwood Butt4985d ago

True, doesn't surprise me, but ensures that I won't be buying this.

alphakennybody4985d ago (Edited 4985d ago )

I don't see what people sees in codemasters, never liked any of their games.F1 should've been given to a sim dev not an arcade dev.

We have F1 2010 running at the top left for the Xbox 360, F1 2011 at the top right also for the Xbox 360, the bottom left is last year's F1 2014 for the Playstation 3 and of course F1 2015 running on the Playstation 4 completes the foursome in the bottom right video."

deklore3240d ago

There is no career mode. You get to play as one driver for one season as often as you like. I think its called championship mode.

ABBAJESUS3240d ago

@deklore, it's pro season mode or something like that.

jay23240d ago

Mate this is a proper F1 game, all the teams, drivers, tracks, rules etc. so get the real thing over the amazing porject cars for a true f1 experance.

The F1 Series Needs A Pit Stop

Steve from Gamespresso argues that it's time for Codemasters to stop releasing new F1 games annually, stating that they should either add new liveries and licences to existing games as DLC, or not release a game at all.

F1 2015 is going to be released Q1 2015. It is going to be "true" next gen game codies say. Over 2 years they have worked on that game. If it fails ..

Akuma2K3523d ago

The author of the article seems mad for whatever reasons that don't make any sense, the F1 racing series is a very popular which has had great success is sales from 2010 to now.

Can't wait to play F1 2015 in march/april if not mistaken (game is suppose to come out a month or so early before the F1 season starts).

mattritchiegspresso3523d ago

It certainly has had great success, and that's not surprising, but that doesn't mean that we should agree with essentially the same cash-grab being shipped out year after year, regardless of how good it is.

memots3523d ago

Got 2010, 2012 , 2013 , skipping 2014 just nothing new in there, 2015 is the true next gen
