"Only" a transition game anyway slight deterioration!

From the outset I must say that I have not hoped for much of the game. Since this version quasi only a temporary solution until the release of "Next Gen F1" or F1 2015 to be in the coming spring to the "new" console.

I play Codemasters F1 Games F1 since 2009, and had until now each branch always the release, go well for years online Seasons, so I am quite well versed with the games and these usually then a whole year to use new.

Much new there for the game not to say - only that a lot has deteriorated!

The acclaimed on the package "evaluation test" proves to be a small version of the already unnutzen Young Driver Test. Once again comes Codemasters against the newcomers.

But here comes the point: Who wild restless turbo cars like in the real F1 season suggested here Nope! I'm usually always driven with traction control, but left it in this game from the start off. I initially thought that I would have provided me: The car without traction control is almost exactly the same as with.

That should probably hang by a fault along because wheel drivers apparently feel the issue of TK clearly. Codemasters is currently working, but first there is a big minus point.

For this really shocks me extremely few little things on which they had eliminated so beautiful in F1 in 2013 and let the game now somehow turned into an F1 2011 2.0.

In front away: I'm not a graphic Fanatist!

But general graph has deteriorated repays. Who looks exactly in the background, who sees there already negative differences to its predecessor. Antialiasing is partially non-existent. In the mirrors the cars act behind a totally pixelated again as it was in 2012 the case.

This reduction in the graphics options by Codemasters reason that has moved to the limit of the console and "take away" the new steering wheel with LED display as much.

Here we are then that is the next point: steering wheels. They're in the game namely only available in two versions:
1. LED
2. 2013 steering wheel.

Thus, the Williams, who in reality this season had a similar steering wheel as Red Bull, with the speed indicator at the upper edge of the cockpit, a steering wheel that the car had in 2013. Just as the Force India.

All other cars with displays on the steering wheel have any 'a 0815-steering wheel.

These provide the setting of ERS what was actually recruited before missing. Clear the driver can no longer even really push a button to get a boost as 2009, and from 2011 to 2013. However, it should provide the opportunity here the ERS as in reality before the race in the garage at certain points of Setting the route permit. Then especially online every driver would anywhere else a morning or an adverse. So affects the whole totally boring and really notice you're doing from the auxiliary power nothing.

The AI ​​is again significantly stupider than it was even in F1 2013. Brakes again well ahead of the curve when it comes to strategy and can the "fooled" clearly even on Legend when it rains for example the Safety Car still.

These are certainly the one faulted points as diehard F1 fan on the console.

The question of all questions: Can I recommend this game different?

Clearly JA-ON! For diehard fans of the series or of F1 who want reenact every season, that's a good transition.

For everyone else, I can only say that they should wait for the coming year.

There ("new") is for Codemasters with the new generation of consoles offer many more options, and then maybe we'll finally get the podium scenes introduction rounds (which we all wish since 2010) and a refreshed career mode as in F1 2010 and 2011 where you was still in the Paddock and even interviews or gave press conferences. Especially the point annoys me to this day why it has taken out this great feature, because thus would have been as much as possible. For this you can take out of me from the superfluous Scenario Mode, which is generally too easy anyway.

From me the game gets 3 stars. Extremely bad I did not find it, but I have known points that need to be better next year. Because then you have to now more 5 years no more excuses.

If something about the graphics "error", the KI or the like to improve with a patch, I'll edit this Rezenzion course!
