F1 2010 Received (Xbox) - Who's online?
 

I'm going to be playing it tonight, just wanted to see if anyone else has it yet on Xbox and fancies playing online later?

Probably from about 10:30 pm for me!

Live ID: anythingcarsuk

you sod! im stuck in germany...hopefully be buying it on the way back and play some tomorrow night into the early morning :)

You won't be disappointed - i just had a quick 20 min go at lunch and it's awesome!!!!

It was default to Expert mode with all assists and stuff off so i just went with it, and my god it's hard after playing Forza for so long but very cool indeed!!!

How did you get hold of it? Not released until tomorrow

Paul

Most games tend to come out a day or 2 earlier if you pre-order or buy online...

I guess it's just that Shops won't be stocking them until the official release date.

I bought from shopto.net £31.85 incl p&p

Thats a good price too, am taking a trip to tesco after racing tonight to buy it :thumbsup:

I'm not sure any shops will have it out on the shelves until tomorrow so maybe call them first....

Already spoke to them about COD black ops when that comes out, they said they go on the shelf at midnight, so fingers crossed.

i hate you all :x

I'm getting it, just not sure if it'll be this weekend or next payday.

Got it. Loving it. Proper great game. Really lives up to the hype. Add me if you like. sime46 on live. I've just joined torro rosso. Let the fun begin. Lol

i am so jealous -.-, waiting three years for this!

i can be a real f1 driver now :D

Fastest in first practice at bahrain. Set up changes and option Tyres. Living the damn dream. It's better than I dared hope it'd be. Yay.

I want I want! Now where's that credit card... :drool:.

Haha excellent, have you got any driving aids on??

I put the driving line on after a while (corners only) as i just couldn't get used to the track and wanted to try and learn it. I turned it off for qualifying and ended up getting through to the last stage and even got Pole....

That actually annoyed me to be honest as i thought the Lotus really should be 4 seconds off even with the best possible lap :thumbdown:

Maybe there's something else i can turn on/off to make that part of it a bit more realistic but i tried to do a 20 lap race, i must have spun 5 times and also hit a couple of cars from behind causing me to get drive through's, but it was just a bit annoying that i could go sooo much faster then the cars around me as i really hoped the whole speed of the cars would be realistic as in i'd have no chance of catching the Red Bull's, Mclarens etc.....

I think the only real way of getting realistic results, is driving against other real people. All the driving games I've ever played, the computer drivers, have all either been way too easy to beat, or way too hard, and pretty much nothing at a level I can properly compete with.

I think the right drivers were going fast, but it's the Cars i have an issue with - the Lotus should be way slower, that part of it would be easy to get right i'd have thought?

I think the performance of the cars may be a legal thing. I know it sounds stupid, but if THEY show one car to be better or worse than another car, that's THEM making an official judgement on that team / car etc. I'd imagine that there'd be a patch at a later date, either official or unofficial to have a more realistic feel to the cars, but I do remember on GP2 passing Ferrari's and Williams and McLaren in a Pacific F1.

I suppose that makes sense really, but the fact when you start out you HAVE to go in either Virgin, HRT or Lotus already suggests they rank these teams lower anyway??

It just means to me that there won't be any benefit in doing well, and getting signed up by a bigger team you know? It would have been nice to race your a$$ off and still scrape 16th or something in the Lotus - Then when you get a mid-table car you can start hopefully getting in the points.... then obviously challenging for a title with one of the top teams.

just take off all downforce from the new cars, then they'll be realistic :P

Nah. All aids off except a little traction control to begin with. Thats all off now. Manual gears is a must too. I wanna feel it all. Loving it so far. Qually tonight and race if I get time. :thumbsup:

May look on getting this game.. however theres a wealth of new games coming out soon, black ops, MOH, assassins creed 3 and plenty more. I'm sure my girlfriend wont mind one more title on my list ;P

you guys playing on the XBOX controller or a wheel?

I've managed about 3 hours with it today on xbox, with STD controller. First few laps were worrying with the car twitching about everywhere but once you get it, it's so awesome! You have epic battles with the ai cars, the starts are great, really battling to hold position. You have to start off in a lotus virgin or hrt, so you spend lots of time getting overtaken on the straight.

The handling is really good, just a decent balance of arcade and sim. Bahrain is a good example, there's a few hairpins, some of them you can just sling the car at the kerb whilst the other two you have to avoid the kerb mid corner bump or else you spin out.

Love it!

I have this on the PS3.

Awesome

Matt

I'm getting it either next week or the week after, but I'm getting the Ferrari wheel with the flippy padels. For extra realism, I'm gonna put my bike helmet on and wrap myself in clingfilm so I can lose some pounds of water during the race, maybe go outside and kick someone in the shin to simular running into one of the pit crew.

Just bought it. Not played it yet, probably get on tonight.

Anyone wants to add me I'm telboy322 on xbox.

Was going to get this on PS3 as I think the graphics would be marginally better, but all my friends are on xbox, so it was a no brainer really. :)

Looking forward to playing this. The last decent F1 game on a console was F1-98 I think. since then theyve all been toss.
Toca race driver 2 showed what CM could do with single seaters when they had the Formula Fords on that. So when I heard that they were doing it, I couldn't wait! :)

F1 2010 this month and GT5 next month. Gonna be struggle to get all the painting etc. in this next month or two....or should that be years?!:lol:

got it myself today also:thumbsup:
add me wraggy1972

might need to practice later though when the lad get of COD:(

I Take it you never unlocked the F1 Indy Racers on Toca 2then??
I been playing the latest Forza on Xbox but its still not a patch on Toca 2 especially in a much higher resolution than any console can match.

I might have to have a look at this F1 though :)

Add me on Live : Bennn I 16 I

Had two races for Virgin Colsworth started for one of the races 12th and the other 17th but won both!! :D

Loving the game :thumbsup:

Add me and we`ll get a online lobby going :D:thumbsup::thumbsup:

I started with Williams :thumbsup:. I got the option of about 4 or 5 teams. Might be something to do with me owning GRID and DIRT2 :confused:.

Could be 'cos you're a "proven driver" with your other games, which makes me think, do the people with GTA experience get to pop a cap in the asses of car's they're passing?

What difficulty is everyone playing on?

I've got the PC version, I think I'm going to have to try expert - on hard I was on pole in the Lotus at Bahrain by 2.5 seconds :lol:

The physics can do some strange things too, if you slam on the brakes if you start to spin at low speed it pulls it back straight. You can get it back from some very weird angles doing this!

i got it yeserday ..

my xbox tag is .... nr3 coops

add me :thumbsup:

Just had a look in Asda, and it's just under £35 on ps3 and Xbox (although they'd sold out on xbobx)

Got mine from Asda last night. None on shelves so I asked at the counter, she looked and there were two left in the draw so me and the guy infront got a copy. Just as I paid another staff member ran upto her and told her not to sell anymore as the draw was for reserved pre orders. Oops. Asda are gonna have alot of unhappy pre order customers :o.

What are people playing this with? I'm picking up mine tomorrow but never really got on with the xbox's controller as i much preferred the transmitter style you could adjust the playstation too. Can you do that with this game for the STD controller?

Also was looking at a proper steering wheel etc anyone got one they could reccommend?

Ta

Is the PC version OK Rich?? thinking about d/l it from Steam.

I'm playing mine on the expert level with a normal controller.
Racing for Virgin, Finding it very hard to get laps in without spinning the bloody thing!
Had to go to automatic, just so I could concentrate on getting round cleanly.
It just doesn't seem to have any get-up-and-go! All the other cars, including my team mate are just getting out of the corners soo damn fast. I try to match 'em and just spin out.


does everyone have little problems with it freezing for a couple of seconds?

i keep getting the freezing . i googled it, patch beeing made for it apparently
