F1 2010 'riddled with game-breaking bugs'

Gamers are reporting a whole host of nasty bugs in Codemasters' otherwise-brilliant F1 2010 game.

Chief among those bugs are:

* AI drivers not pitting at all in a race, or too many times.
* Times that are pre-determined by cpu in qualifying rounds don't relate to actual race pace set by ai in the race itself.
* Pit lane exit/entry lines can be passed over without penalty during a race.
* Fuel Sim Mode has little or no effect on AI drivers.
* Random lockups and game freezes, notably during any interaction with the Live Dashboard on Xbox 360 / XMB on PS3.
* Race results not actually being shown accurately for the proper race itself.
* AI cars unaffected by weather conditions even in rain on slicks.
* Pit Limited on regardless of setting.

I guess most people got fooled by the shiny visuals. I certainly was. Didn't even know there was no safety car, for the first two days. Lots and lots of bugs and/or inconsistencies with a real F1 race, on closer inspection. Codemasters are gonna have to do a LOT better than this for the next game to convince me to buy it.

sounds like a lot of problems with the AI. this is the one area that should be rock solid. i just don't get it... AI seems to be a problem in every racing game for the last 20 years. how can this not have improved by now. f@#$ the visuals, get the damn game right before you make it pretty

don't forget the floaty cars...

Not sure with this game haven't got yet but totally agree about racing games AI. Used to love racing games but now they all cheat, if you're doing well they all speed up & iff you're doing rubish they wait for you. The test i do now is at race start wait 30sec to 1min after rest set off, then go if at end of race still finish above last i don't buy (sometimes given 1min start & finished 1st)

F1 2010 vs F1 2011 vs F1 2014 vs F1 2015 comparison

Team VVV writes: "To follow up on our recent F1 2011 vs F1 2015 video, we decide to go one step further and put four iterations of Codemasters' F1 titles side by side for comparison purposes and for a little fun too.

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."

Gonna have to be a big f1 fan to purchase, as PCars has f1 racing?

ABBAJESUS3252d ago

There is career mode and all the teams, tracks and drivers so yeh this gets my money cos im big f1 fan

deklore3252d 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.

ABBAJESUS3252d ago

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

jay23252d 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 ..

Akuma2K3535d 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).

mattritchiegspresso3535d 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.

memots3535d ago

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