Wow! Look at this!

They have recreated all of this seasons biggest moments so far in the new trailer. It has everything in it, Hamilton hitting Button in Canada, Petrov doing a jump at Sepang, Hamilton passing Vettel in China, Alonso winning at Silverstone.

Dirk Meuller (sp?) did a Vettel finger after getting the ALMS pole today.

by **Matt** Sat 20 Aug 2011 - 9:14

by johnnyboy360 Sat 20 Aug 2011 - 12:50

I'll make sure he don't get on the top step to use that finger...

Plenty of gameplay and info.

by nickyf1 Wed 7 Sep 2011 - 11:03

Lots of detail about Red Flag's, Safety Car periods, how to trigger them, restarts. Lots of detail about what the procedure is, how you have to drive, etc. It also sounds like the Safety Car will be available online. Also talks about fuel mix settings. Proper steering wheels. Brake Bias adjustments in race. Lots of tools to use while racing! Lots of great detail here.

Both fantastic videos Nicky! I am so looking forward to this!

Pre Ordered my copy yesterday! Zavvi, £31.85! Orginally £34.85, but I found a code which took off £3 for spending £30! Good deal! Last time I ordered from Zavvi, it came on the day!

by **Richy59** Sun 18 Sep 2011 - 6:37

I really want to get this asap but I can't play the F1 games without a steering wheel, so until I get my Fanatec I'll have to miss out.

by **Matt** Sun 18 Sep 2011 - 8:18

@Richy. You're spot on right! Mine's on the way now. Will take some getting used to but I have a cunning plan for a semi-realistic F1 set up Wink

So are ppl actually going to buy this when it goes head to head with forza 4? Rolling Eyes

I have a reason to buy it over Forza 4. I am running GPWC. The forgotten championship. And I hope next year I am running it aswell! I will get Forza 4 but not yet. I have no reason to buy Forza 4 yet for TORA championships because they will happen next year. I need more chance to get to grips with F1 2011 multiplayer options.

Anybody else get this yet? I can't tell if its just me or is it WAY harder to pass people in this game than it was in F1 2010.

Also, I really wish they would have had the engineer give you some idea as to where KERS and DRS will help you the most around a lap.

by silentalarm42 Thu 22 Sep 2011 - 2:18

Ive found it quite easy to pass but harder to stay infront after it. Ive also found it quite hard to get the most from kers and drs especially drs as i keep trying to use it too early and keep spining out. Ive also tried my first wet race around the new India track. Its so much harder and better than '10. Ive yet to get a safety car though. Also i might join the GPWC next season if i get good at it.

by johnnyboy360 Thu 22 Sep 2011 - 7:32

:O How have you guys got this already? SOOO JEALOUS!!!!

by narboza22 Thu 22 Sep 2011 - 7:34

Didn't it come out yesterday?

by johnnyboy360 Thu 22 Sep 2011 - 7:42

Nop. 23rd I thought? Unless its earlier for pre-orders? If thats the case then, maybe I'll get mine today, if not then it will be tomorrow. Did you guys pre-order it?

EDIT:

North America: 20th Sep
Australia: 22nd Sep
Europe:23rd Sep

So unless you guys live in North America, then you are very very lucky!

EDIT2: Sorry Narboza! I forgot you live in the USA! But slientalarm, your in Glasgow!?

by **Matt** Thu 22 Sep 2011 - 7:52

If you pre-order from Game you'll probably be getting it today. Sadly I kinda forgot so will be picking it up tomorrow on my day off Wink

by johnnyboy360 Thu 22 Sep 2011 - 7:54

Ahh ok, I got mine from Zavvi, they are usually good with their pre-orders, I don't think I got F1 2010 the day before though when I ordered that with them. We'll see! I'm not too bothered really! And Matt, that means you get to spend a whole day with it!!

by narboza22 Thu 22 Sep 2011 - 8:15

Yea, I completely forgot the game was coming out yesterday until I walked into Gamestop today and it was on the shelf.
