Formula One games are back!

Well isn't that the same as what drivers do in real life. They just drive round a track a tonne of times, and yet they and us find it exciting. Therefore your point is just completely invalid...

The Digital Spy article:

Damn.

Because GRID is not an accurate simulation, its an arcade game pretending to be a simulation. Yes you might enjoy it, but that doesn't make it the best sim going. If you want to play a game thats still better than most modern games try GPL the only real flaws are the lack of front grip and general lack of grip at low speeds. GRID is just about looking fancy and not producing.

True. This engine worked ok for DiRT: rallying is all about slinging the back of the car out all the time, but F1 certainly isn't!

Who says spot on is boring? The fact that you can go around corners at unrealistic speeds without the rear of the car even threatening to step out is just silly. If you go too fast the car shouldn't just plough off the track, it should spin, having to find the balance where you're on the limit of having the rear step out on a fast sweep and controlling it, now that's fun.

Its not clogging the thread up on who won't buy it, it's just a discussion on the merits of the game.

That's the truth, if you can just catch it just before it goes into a spin, that's satisfying.

If it's going to be a mix of those two it'll be like a NFS F1 game. Whatever floats your boat.....

Ugh.

Edit: If new F1 game does turn out too arcadey, are there any ( even remotely recently released) F1 games for PC?? Ones that have proper physics and so on.

If you ask me, GP4 and mod it.
