games website "F1 2012" pilot version Preliminary review: core players' favorite

As we all know, the benefits of monopoly are not as good as breaking the monopoly, but F1's game is only suitable for ordinary players to see and play because of its narrow audience and its own gameplay. So those few Formula 1 every year, this is not, "Formula 1 racing 2012" (hereinafter referred to as "F1 2012") again.

To be honest, this is getting a little seedy.

When it comes to racing games, it is natural to mention the Dust series. Codemasters is really good at making racing games. Is F1 2012 no less impressive? Will the inclusion of a "novice test drive" achieve the production team's goal of "attracting new F1 players"?

So that those who do not play F1 car racing hobby players are also tempted to pay money? (I don't think you can win over people who don't race cars at all, no matter how hard you try.) So let my wife, who doesn't play F1, give us a first-hand test.

1,   Hardware configuration and graphics.

This game is very surprising, the minimum CPU can be pressed to 5400+ a few years ago, it is recommended to lift to I7. The graphics card has always said that the GT220 will do. Madam, my experience from playing games often shows that the next era of eating memory and CPU games is not strategy or simulation.

So no matter how much the official boast will "guide the novice" may not cover up the bones of this game simulation driving, the guide can also guide the simulation game enthusiasts... However, the game's $49.99 price is the same as those fast food and blockbuster games (well, pre-order $44.99, the truth is, but the F1 edition moderators have said that more than 40 dollars, who will buy expensive!). It can be seen that the core players are still to. But we don't have to worry about that, because Zhuang planted me games website!

I still bring you the low and high open picture contrast, the lowest picture is very smooth, but the highest picture has obvious frame drop, frame number between 30 to 60 jitter back and forth, it can be seen that the combination of 960T+460 is not his battle.

The contrast between the full low and high open (not fully open) of the picture, notice the places marked with circles in my drawing, the first is the rearview mirror, the high rearview mirror can reflect the situation behind the car in detail, while the low open is hazy, and the texture and reflection of the car surface are very subtle places, that is to say, in addition to the rearview mirror such a must-see place, Other high-detail places are rarely noticed when they're really played. But it's a matter of attitude.

2. Game content and operation

Let's first talk about the "novice test drive" that this game has been promoting, which is to carry out progressive novice teaching in the plot, such as "Need for Speed 15".

Too long animation screenshots, the number of frames is stable, it does not seem to be real-time calculus. Like many games, the custom hero is a "speechless man"... Plus, he's so cute with his finger on the staff.

Seriously, the simulation of driving class should have done so a long time ago, now the game is not better than the past, the past game chooses the player, now the player chooses the game.

This kind of simulation of the game is a set and then the real gun work, many players can not find the door to give up, more than a game and players to connect the bridge to play more players.

In addition, F1 is a global game, so there is a lot of language support (8 languages) and the number of character identity options (admittedly, there is still no Chinese), but you will be happy to choose a Chinese driver. There's also the view from the cab, plus the sound and effects are really good, it really feels like watching an F1 race on TV.

There's China!

Then I am very responsible to tell those who play racing will only SHIFT elegant and crazy shot Spaces over the corner of the players, away from this game, open the unhappy and then come to our page to scold two sentences you will only be more angry, but those core players should find something new.

I remember playing an F1 racing game a few years ago, although the track is very serious, but the car to drive up some light feeling, this time to play "F1 2012" is a lot heavier, but as in the past F1 racing games, want to open a good result must backplane.

Although it does not need to be accurate to the minute and second, when to turn what corner, how long to accelerate in a straight line can only have good results, these things are often simple evaluation can not do, feel very sorry. What is more regrettable is some subtle embodiment of F1, such as the fine tuning of the car body, and the feeling of cutting the shoulder and crossing the lawn.

Since I'm not a big fan of the series, my impression is that the cars do behave differently on different roads, with immediate changes in sound and speed. But is this feeling good or bad for playing the game... All I can say is it's hard for me to get back off the track...

This Angle of driving is the most feeling, not that there is a feeling of driving, but there is a feeling of watching F1...

For the game itself, although it is a demo version, for me to show a lot of things really, unfortunately, when I was preparing the official screenshot because of forced exit there was an irreversible BUG. As a result, the number of screenshots is not satisfactory.

Shortcomings and deficiencies

The quality of the game is good, but let me try to find out what a powerful BUG is. Forcing the game to close somewhere in the game (to be precise, in the option state) will lead to archive tragedy, I have chosen to reinstall the game, delete the archive files in my document and reinstall and so on methods for nearly half an hour without results. If the official version does not solve this problem, this is really a tragedy.

Which player has encountered and solved can you enlighten? !

There is the details outside the track, although everyone will say that I pick, but the fact is the fact, the audience is doing too bad, the character model is very few, the action is single, many competitive games are cutting corners on this. EA is also the first to bear the brunt, perhaps everyone feels that the game is hot up who still looks at the audience, but it is your business to see, do not do is a matter of sincerity.

Overall comment

In general, in the F1 game copyright expires this year Codemasters can make a fortune again, although "F1 2012" in order to attract new people to do a lot of efforts, I think the core to the game is the core to the game, you can not put him as a giant cash cow, but you hang yourself on the southeast branch also hungry.

There may be players who like F1 and feel like it because of the official novelty and join, but it still cannot become a popular game. In order to understand this game more objectively, I asked a lot of players who love F1 racing games in the edition area, and they said that although this game does not have a great degree of innovation, there are still many new details.

But they all said it was bad not to have Chinese (laughs). After a lot of talking to me, he still said that he was happy with the game.

Now that F1 fans are satisfied, what about other players?
