F1 2012 Screens and Video Released

F1 2012 Screens and Video Released

Also, some details on the newly released demo

Written by Matrarch on 11 September 12 at 15:54

Yesterday, if you happened to take a look at our demo wrap-up, you might have noticed that a preview of Codemasters' F1 2012 landed on the Marketplace. To celebrate this fact, a new video for the demo has been released.



In case the blurb for the demo didn't give you enough information, here are some more details as to what you can expect in the 1.49 GB package. The demo features two game modes: The Young Driver Test, and the Season Challenge.

The Young Driver test allows players to "learn how to handle and get the most out of motorsport’s most exciting and responsive racing cars with a series of tests and videos". The Season Challenge introduces a whole new game mode wherein players participate in ten races in an attempt to be F1's number one driver. The demo features a five lap race at Monza, and Codemasters has provided several screens and a video of the track to try to encourage you to give it a try.

I liked the demo, but I thought the cars were way too twitchy.

The demo was good a little tricky but I liked it. I tend to buy most racing games anyway so it a buy for me.
Play for achievements. Play for fun.

The screens look to be incredible quality, it's been several years since I had a racer so maybe I will invest.

The only problem I have is the handling, cornering is ok, yet turn 2 at Monza is shite, always end up hitting the kerbs even while making the tiniest of movements. It was clearly made for steering wheels with standard controllers thrown in at the end. Unless, grip has been turned up FOR the demo to entice people in. High speed twitching is awful.

AI wise it seems vastly improved.

The demo is fantastic. The new menu is much better. Easier to navigate and looks brilliant. Both game modes are fun. Playing hard was a good challenge and agree with the above, AI is improved. I think the handling is good although I agree that it's difficult to be smooth with a controller but then name one game where that isn't the case. My favourite feature is the hotlap videos believe it or not. I really got some great advice and I'm a seasoned racing pro. Tips like using the bridge above the second chicane as a braking point gained me those extra fractions. On other tracks I feel they'll have an even greater effect.

Also that asshole Rosberg forced me off track and didn't even recieve a penalty for it lmao !! angry
I found my cars were pulling to the left. It was annoying.

If you're from the UK, you can pre-order this from Asda direct for £29.97! Way cheaper than most other places. Just throwing that out there for everyone. Still, I won't be buying just yet. Having 2010 and 2011, I feel no need to buy this just yet.

Gahhh there's just too much that it's really frustrated my driving style from the past 2 year's games.

I can only hope handling improves in the main game for those with controllers.

I've managed to do competitive laps in all those games plus the new demo. However generally speaking those with wheels who know how to use them are faster.

Completed both F1 2010 & 2011 & this game is pretty much the same as 2011 but way more twitchy. I will buy it, but hope theres a sensativity scale to dumb down the pad response or else doing this in expert will require a steering wheel & I ain't paying for that.

I love racing games but the demo wasnt the greatest. The cars were way too twitchy to the point of making it painful to play and it looked exactly the same as the others. I will probably buy it anyway though lol
