That was until I began to violently spin around and veer into the dirt field against a fence just outside the track. Eventually I found myself near the front of the pack. I was slowing when the guides turned red at each sharp turn, accelerating when they went from red to yellow to green. While driving on course, I was following along the augmented guidelines that laid over the track, minding my own business. This is specially harder if you are coming off from F1 2018 since the driving there was exceptional. Without being assisted or being told what new features are built into each car, the average player likely wouldn’t be able to feel a whole lot that’s changed. What improvements have been made over the driving this year as opposed to 2018 is, again, another tough call. There’s almost a surreal variation of how I’d imagine real life driving inside an F1 racer would feel, and it matched up to my ideals almost instinctively.

You can feel the give and pull of the asphalt below your wheels as you make that sharp turn, or cut ahead of another driver in the straightaway. However in F1 2019, the handling of these cars is superb and the traction feels incredible stable. For some players, F1 cars are overly maneuverable due to their slender frames and light weight designs. The backdrops of the realistic environments, the glares and reflections off of the cars is still a sign of artistry from the developers.įrom a gameplay perspective, I can say that F1 feels just as fresh as ever before. It’s going to be hard to siphon out what few drops are still left in the bottoms of these game engines to really make anything appear better than they already do. Let’s face it, we’re at the end of this console generation. F1 2019 looks just as stellar, but to really notice any major improvements is going to be a difficult job even for the best eyes. F1 2018 was a gorgeous racer that still looks wonderful.
I didn’t notice any drastic graphical changes or modifications to the looks of the cars, tracks, or environments. Talking about the game itself, F1 2019 looks same as F1 2018. When starting up my E3 demo, the first thing I noticed, and what I think most everyone will notice is the beauty of being behind the wheel of this magnificent race car I found myself sitting in. Of course this isn’t a game for the faint of heart, so you’ll want to perform relatively well if you want to have a better spot when being placed in the F1 series.

Your placing in the F2 series will determine your positioning when you move up to F1 later on. For those who are unaware, F2 cars are usually slower than their F1 counterparts, have less power and aren’t as flashy.
F1 2019 will finally feature Formula 2 cars and races which should make the game beefier than it already is. To my surprise, Codemasters have finally listened to its fans’ feedback and complains.
#F1 2018 demo details simulator#
I had a chance to sit down in a racing control simulator to find out what’s under the hood of the new F1 2019 and see if the annual series still has what it takes to compete in this growingly crowded genre. So what sets F1 apart from the likes of Forza or the upcoming Grid? Not a whole lot. F1 2019 is shaping up to be another beautiful racing game in a generation seemingly swamped with racers.
