So, if you're like me and bought the WiFi more expensive PS3 and a PSP for this, Sony / SL is saying "too bad", we never said "EVERYONE" could use the feature shown here !!
http://www.gamespot.com/ps3...
here's the video, about 7 minutes in.
And, what happened to the Safety Car Graeme talked about ?
Hey, where did FFB go, too ?
UGH. we need a new Developer.
It said "with the driving assists ON, F1 Championship can be an Arcade Game. With the assists turned OFF, F1 Championship is a TRUE SIMULATION"
only 20 laps online
No FFB like PS2
no marshals like PS2
no Safety Car as advertised [apparently]
No PSP mirror as advertised [apparently]
yes, the F1 License has to be "open" again.
NASCAR 2007 on PS2 has 100% Full Distance Online races with 20-43 cars.
F1C on PS3 has 20 lap races with 11 cars & 11 "ghost" AI cars.
F1 '06 on PS2 has FFB [it's GREAT].
F1C on PS3 has NO FFB.
F1 '06 on PS2 has trackside flag marshals [very realistic].
F1C on PS3 has NO Marshals.
Why is this series going BACKWARDS ???
They advertise a Safety Car -- then it's gone ?
They advertise a "PSP...
No FFB on steering wheels.
Only 20 lap races online.
AI cars online are "ghosts" [not solid]
Missing trackside Flag Marshals from PS2 version.
Now F1 C looks to ONLY support 20 laps Online .....
UGH.
VOID your warranty on a $600 item !!!
Don't look for more reviews on F1C until 1 day before release .... No IGN , no GameSpot until the 26th.
Wonder Why this would be done ??!!
"Oh, bad review .. well, they aren't "Hard Core" F1 fans, or they are American, so naturally, they'll rate it low"
Did you hear G. Ankers [SL] say "It's not 'Formula One', it's 'Formula EveryOne' ... anybody can pick it up & race & have fun right off !!"
They did NOT make this game geared towards "Hardcore F1 Fans" .. so to say that "Casual Gamers" can't appreciate it is nonsense, according to SL themselve...
... they never mention what the driving "feels like" <-- #1 Aspect of the game
"Gamepro: "F1 will really show off your PS3 to your friends, and thanks to a smart A.I., intuitive control scheme and wealth of in-game options and modes, they'll have plenty of fun helping you play it, too!"
the never mention what the driving "feels like" <-- #1 Aspect of the game
Despite being helpless fans of the real sport, even in its current state - we're being generous calling it a 'sport', for instance - playing Formula One Championship Edition quickly becomes a chore. And that's a shame.
hopefully we'll get FFB, as this "next gen" version's driving stinks compared to the same title on the "Old Gen" console !!!
and there won't be [at least not for now] on the Us / Uk version.
I have the Japan version.
"One of the key challenges you face when developing a game for Playstation 3 is making sure everything in the game consistently hits the high benchmarks you've set yourself ...."
so they removed the 3D Flag Waving Trackside Marshals and Removed Force Feedback for Steering Wheels
The "High Standard" of this game on PS2.
Shameful.
nobody has done F1 "Right" on console. Hopefully we'll get Force FeedBack added after Sony and Immersion finalise the appeal.
If done correctly, this could be a SMASH !
February 27th in US
"Also, even if your car is damaged severely, you will be respawned on the track after a heavy time penalty."
I hope this is some "Arcade Option" !!!!
You can't choose your pit strategy ??
this Can't Be Correct !!
I had NFSC and a FFB wheel day 1 & it's always worked [FFB] 100%
how about the guys here, that have the US retail version:
