F1 2015 Coming to PS4, Xbone & PC in June

[Parker]

F1 2015 will launch on the PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One from June 12 2015.

Unlike previous releases, the latest instalment of the racing franchise will arrive much earlier in the F1 season, boasting an all-new handling system and game engine.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“F1 2015 marks an exciting new chapter for Codemasters and Formula One; it’s a shift in direction for the game series, on new formats and our brand new game engine, with the game set to be released earlier in the season, launching this June,” said game director for Codemasters, Paul Jeal.

So what's new for F1 2015? In addition to the "spectacular visual fidelity", Codemasters' believes this is the best game yet for physics-based handling.

“The handling is a vast improvement from our previous games. In particular our new tyre model is a superb step forward towards realism, letting you explore where the limit is and allowing you to instantly feel much more connected with the car," adds Jeal. "You can now experience the changes in grip caused by temperature changes, wear, car set-up, debris and weather conditions."

"Our improved vehicle dynamics much more accurately convey the difference in performance and the feel between mechanical and aerodynamic grip. The new Force Feedback system adds to the feeling of connection with the car and track surface. The more natural and realistic nature of the game physics also serves to ensure that the racing experience is more accessible, enjoyable and rewarding for players of all skill levels.”

 

The Crew Review

Can't wait? Racer The Crew recently introduced the Vintage Live Update which features two classic examples of American cars, the Corvette C2 and C3. In our review of The Crew, we thought it was okay, deserving credit for "the frankly staggering size of its open world, and the fact that it’s absolutely filled to the brim with racing, challenges, a fat multiplayer offering, and exploration potential" despite the fact "the racing itself is too often hamstrung by AI prone to unfair bursts of speed that do nothing but frustrate."

I can't wait for this game, I was disappointed that F1 2014 wasn't available on current gen but if that was what was needed to give them the time to make a fantastic and stable experience, it will have been worth it.

I'm very much not a fan of racing games, especially the endlessly "left turn" ones, but those graphics are so amazing that I just might have to reconsider.

I've never played a F1 game but man those graphics look nice. I would consider it though. I don't mind playing a racing game every now and again.

[ARIXANDRE]

Finally making the jump to the PS4! I love the sport and will surely get this.

[Mdrizzle3]

I'm pretty excited for this because I still don't have a racing game for PS4. In the past, I played F1 2010 and before that F1 Championship Edition. I'm also a big Gran Turismo fan (particularly 4 and 5). Hoping this will be a solid game.

[Jello]

I enjoyed F1 2011, I might look into getting this one sometime

[Sikatiiker]

I'm pretty surprised it's coming out this early. I'm only wondering if it offers a chance to play local championship/career with a friend.

I hope they had enough time for discovering the possibilities of next-gen and this will be a good opening game to next-gen consoles.

I may pick it up.
