Still no safety-car or warm-up lap?

r0gueZA4714d ago (Edited 4714d ago )

Doesn't look like it. I dont know why safety cars are never implemented. It would bring in a whole new dimenssion.

DiffusionE4714d ago

It's one of the reasons why I felt F1 2010 was very incomplete. Someone crash and stops in the middle of the track, yellow flags are waved and the car/debris disappears after a few seconds.

I wonder if it's sheer laziness on the developers' part or it's just too hard to implement. Because RFactor had a pretty decent safety-car feature.

Daves4714d ago

Safety car would be welcome, but I have been in some races where the safety car would have been out for the entire race :)

Needs careful consideration.

Not including the safety car is making it hard for me to buy the new version. Sure they have lot of nice improvements, but its still essentially what they previously offered.

Though I would like to try KERS and DRS....

Pintheshadows4714d ago

2010 was really good. I like everyone else though was surprised at the lack of a safety car. It is kind of a big thing to leave out. As with the previous game it looks stunning.

A Look at All of the Racing Games Available on Vita

VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "The racing genre has always felt like a perfect fit on handhelds, thanks to offering bite-sized sessions and being able to hide technical flaws behind blistering speeds and enclosed environments. It provides a large amount of variety too, from immersive sims to light-hearted kart racers (and my personal favourite, drift-heavy arcade racers!), meaning there’s usually something for everyone to enjoy.

Anticipation was high that the Vita would follow in the PSP’s footsteps as a handheld offering an unrivalled selection of racers, from muddy WRC titles to the clean racing lines of Gran Turismo. Beyond the initial months things didn’t quite pan out like this, but there’s still a nice spread of games available to cater to anyone’s tastes – and thanks to the addition of backwards-compatibility with PSP and PS1, the Vita ends up with possibly the largest selection of any console in the last 10 years, even if it's not all running natively on the hardware."

F1 2011 vs F1 2015 Singapore comparison

TeamVVV writes: "We put F1 2015 up against F1 2011 in our very latest side by side comparison video.

F1 2011 is running on the Xbox 360 and F1 2015 is the Playstation 4 version. We take a couple of laps at the floodlit Singapore, one of the jewels in the Formula 1 crown, and we are using the now dominant Mercedes.

ShottyGibs3088d ago

F1 2013 is the pinnacle of the series. They newer ones are arcady and watered down

Bass_fisherman3088d ago (Edited 3088d ago )

i had no idea that codemasters did a F1 game so that explains why it was so ahead of its time.

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."

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.
