Fuuuuuuuuck
Did the first week-end in my Career (went with Sauber)...
Qualified 11th and finished 11th (playing on Expert). Pretty happy with that.
Did all the stuff in practice so got the maximum ressource points/xp or whatever it's called.
I was 9th with Button right behind me on the last lap but ended up running out of gas on the last turn of the last lap...sigh...
Really loving the game so far. I bought the weight reduction upgrade which will be delivered on the next race week-end.
I really like all the RPG stuff.

Nope, do not believe.
Shame I do not have the time I once had to give this a shot in the league. Oh I miss F1 2011.
Interest piqued.......
Is 2016 more to Dirt Rally, where as 2015 was more to Dirt?
What I am getting at, has Codies taken the stance again for realism over accessibility and bells and whistles?
How does it perform on consoles?, any major differences between PS4 and XBO?
Giant Bomb's Quick Look has sold me.

Now I just need to find a way to fit my wheel on my desk.

Going to pick this up tomorrow.
How are the graphics on PS4 this year?

Even they are beating on poor Daniil....
At least they didn't treat him in the same way they did Ryo!
OH SHIT, this does look good.

Just seen that quick look.
Yes, this looks great.

Don't you just screw it on?
I'm all ready, counting the minutes until I can leave work at 5... Game is preloaded, wheel is hooked up, all I have to do is feed the cats and start playing.
(game in picture is Project Cars, in case you're wondering)

How's the "feel" of the handling? Do the cars have weight behind 'em?
Tempted to grab this on the PS4 today, but would like to know opinions from wheel users on how it is to drive.
Also, how's the MP side of things?

Wish they'd introduce VR support. PCars and Dirt are great (though they need to do official Vive support on Dirt yet). Dirt having VR support makes me hopeful that F1 will eventually get it.
Now I have to place my raceseat/stand in front of the TV again (with VR I was able to put it into the corner
)

Ah, then I'll go for the regular career for now, thanks!

How are the controls with the Steam Controller and Dualshock 4?
you'll play it for a day, force me to buy it and then never been seen again
Being a complete F1 nerd and having purchased every F1 game since F1:CE (yes I even got F1 '09 on the wii)...I was just not even remotely excited for this one at all. Was kinda getting bored of the same thing every single year with the last two games having the least amount of content.
But some of the stuff in that preview video actually kinda blew me away especially when he understeered into the wall and the crash physics were really well done. Also loved the formation lap and VSC.
Now I need this game.

It's only 17go to download on steam actually.
Some captures :
Everything maxed out (there is two greyed options), 1440p. Pretty solid framerate with a 1080.
Just tried it for one hour. Only tried custom race and "against the watch".
The UI is really polished. The graphics are top notch (and not blurry like the 2015 version).
The control (with a xbox one gamepad) are really good, a bit stiff at first but it gives you more precision.
Seems a really good version, but there are bug. Sound in race is buggy, the interface before launching a race don't refresh, so I had to press all buttons and moving in all directions to start the race.
I'm pretty this will be quickly fixed.
Holy shit, that looks gorgeous.
Yeah, definitely.
I'm also seeing white 'digital snow' while racing now, like there's a low bitrate... Really weird.
This will make or break if I purchase or not. I really want it, but the black bars will kill it for me.
Mmf. On one machine (3570k, Windows 10, GTX 1080, Gsync monitor) the game doesn't load the menu for race settings, setting the number of laps, time of day etc. It just loads the background graphic but no menu or anything. If I press enter to basically confirm the settings even though the menu doesn't show up, the game starts loading further and crashes immediately. Benchmark works fine though.
On another (pretty much identical) machine I feel like the game constantly loses connection to my wheel (Thrustmaster TX) for milliseconds at a time. My car suddenly goes straight for a fraction of a second in a corner, changing gears doesn't always register, the car twitches ever so slightly on straights etc. Also sound issues, other cars around me have this odd stuttering sound.
Hopefully they can figure out a fix for that crash issue today because that's a complete show stopper. The other issues I can live with for few days.

I had the same issues with my wheel on F1 2015. It was constantly losing connection (fanatec CSW V2). I ended up giving up on the PC version and got the xbox one version and never had anymore issues.

yes there is and its 60fps locked on my 1070.
if you own 2015 buy the Bundle and you get 2016 for 10% less to 'complete your collection'
Awesome. Increases the FOV properly and doesn't cut off the top and bottom to stretch?
Great quick look, shame they didn't show off career mode as that is where the meat of the game is. With some cutscenes, team management, R&D upgrades, practice session mini-games. Just something that allows the game to be more than just the racing and ties even closer to the sport than even the Quicklook shows off.
I love Drew's enthusiasm though

This sold me on the game, not bought one since 2011 (and the free 2013 from xbl) but seeing someone who enjoys the sport and racing games say good thing about F1 2016 makes me happy.
Made a video of it:

(You can see the 'low bitrate'' stuff when I make a turn)

Yes, everything seems to be fine. I would prefer to pull the camera forward, but I am sure multiple camera modes will be available soon.
I don't like to sit so far back

I was playing 2015 on legendary AI (mostly keeping up pace)...started this one on expert got my ass kicked. Cant keep the car on track (using Xbox one controller pc)
Having a lot of trouble with the handling, got AI down to hard and still a bit slower than my teammate
I feel i cant really maintain the race line, really hard to get into break time, gonna need a lot of getting used to and practice, maybe even putting my pride on hold and a médium difficulty with full traction control
Edit: running smoothly on a gtx970 1080p high settings, havent tried maxing it out, will try tonight.

Are you OCing your graphics card? I got artefacts like that when I pushed it too far before.
It's on PS4.
But as mentioned, I just restarted the game and continued the same qualifying session and it's gone it seems.
