Gaming F1 2011

[Bushi]

The game looks really good and to have a safety car in is pretty awesome. The suspension model seems so much better than 2010.

Press preview:

I'm sorry the trailer has just ruined the game for me.

I'm not gonna go anywhere near it. All because of that damn finger!

Hilarity ensues

Here is another preview vid - basically a load of screenshots.

I've been watching live streams of people testing the games. It's looking good and hopefully should have my copy in a few days time!

4 days to go! My missus will basically be a widow for the next few weekends!

I wonder if there is an option to deploy the safety car the sudden moment a drop of rain falls...........

You have to be in a Ferrari for this to happen

Just got my copy, the handling is completely different. Will take some time to adapt!

How much better is it than F1 2010? And how does the red flag work?

the red flag ino is a cut screen it just gives you the option to restart or end the race

Ive not seen a red flag yet, plenty of safety cars online. The usual lobbies are shocking as normal.

DRS is fun, just don't activate mid corner!

I just been Youtubing some f1 2011 videos - if the Indian circuit looks like it does on the game, we could be in for a real treat.

Red flag
EDIT

Engine failure

 

[F1Yorkshire]

I've not managed to trigger a red flag yet but its quite tricky to bring out the safety car so a red flag must take some doing!

As for the India circuit, I've only done one race there and it seems ok so far. Not quite flowing but a nice challenge.

Thanks everyone for the videos and comments posted re the red flag.

Well I got the game on Xbox 360 and I have to say it's certainly different from 2010.The suspension and handling are a lot more sophisticated. One thing I don't like is the xp system in multiplayer, if you cut one corner you lose a ton of xp, same goes if you just accidently tap a car...
