"We split the elements that are most important, that need to be simulated at that rate, and it was very much a known thing that we wanted to get," Mather told Ars. If you're playing with a wheel-I used the Thrustmaster T-GT and a PS4-you'll notice there's really good force feedback, which you use to feel how tires and suspension are working and therefore just how hard you can push for lap time. On top of that, the way the suspension and chassis are modeled has been improved, and the relevant bits of the simulation are now running at 1000Hz-regardless of the platform you choose for the game. All of these affect how quickly the tires get to operating temperature and how long you can make each set last. F1 2018 boasts a revised tire model now simulating the temperature of the carcass as well as the tire surface and also the brake temperatures. New modes aside, the racing itself has been improved, too. In addition to ranking your experience (from rookie to veteran), you're also scored on a scale from "sportsmanship" to "showmanship." Some teams, like Ferrari, want a showman others prefer a more buttoned-down, less-cocky driver.Īnd if details like that have you looking at a worn copy of F1 2016 or F1 2017 and wondering, well this may be the game for you after all. We can't just try things and throw them away if they don't work." With such a tightly constrained dev window, we can't waste any time. The career added in 2016 was just the beginning, and we know where we wanted to take it, what features to add over time. "It's actually not the ideas that are the problem, it's purely the time we have to create it," explained Mather. I don't envy the task in front of Lee Mather (the game director) and his team at Codemasters-luckily, F1 2018 is proof there's genuinely a lot of thought going into that effort. Then again, persuading cynics like me to open our wallets again is probably an even tougher job from the developer's side. "It's just like the Game Name 20xx you love, but now with one extra year on the date" can be hard to spin out into a full-length piece. Reviewing the latest version of a yearly sports franchise game isn't always something to look forward to. Platform: Windows, PS4 (tested), and Xbox One
