I'm hyped for this game, but this sounds fishy. =/
Yea, I trust Codies, specially after Grid Autosport and Dirt Rally. I just find it weird, as if there's something wrog with the game. We've seen this shit so mane times from other studios that it gets hard not to get suspicious.
Also, today is the birthday of this legend. Happy birthday, Nelson! <3
True. But if you're wary of this practice, look at Doom!
Also, keep in mind that reviews of racing/driving games by anyone other than simracing sites (and in certain circumstances, sites like Eurogamer) can usually be disregarded anyway because they're reviewed from the POV of a casual gamer. So we're not really missing out by not getting pre-release reviews.
Day after my birthday! Sadly, no-one famous in F1 shares my birthdayAlso, today is the birthday of this legend. Happy birthday, Nelson! <3
A Fish Aficionado
I am going to make it through this year if it kills me
Giant bomb is doing a quicklook of the game, so I'll definitely watch that.

Hah! Peasant!
I share mine with Max Verstappen.
OT should arrive today, 1 day before release.
True!
Well, Brazil's today is Australia's yesterday, so...Day after my birthday! Sadly, no-one famous in F1 shares my birthday
I don't share my birthday (September 1st) with any Formula One driver. :c
User impressions can be heavily misleading as well.
I already see a bunch of people complaining about level X AI being too slow/fast, as if their own lap times were set in stone on day 1 and their target AI difficulty has to adapt EXACTLY to their current pace. That's just pointless complaining. (Unless it's a real issue like the several seconds gap between difficulties back in F1 2012, for example)
The only person listed on Wikipedia who shares my exact birthday also shares my first name. Creepy.
Slightly younger than me happens to be a person I saw awarded his gold medal at London 2012. Who I didn't know shared my birthday until now. Cool.

Aw. I share a birthday with Justin Wilson. RIP.
True. But they are bringing new difficulty options this time, right?
Can't wait!Posting it in a few hours
Well there's Ultimate above Legend now.
The thing is, a handful of difficulty levels like that are never going to satisfy everyone in a racing game. If your best pace falls just 1 second above or below a certain difficulty level, you'll be frustrated at how easy/hard it is but it wouldn't be any better at the adjacent difficulty levels.

Project cars had a slider if I recall correctly. Nice way to gradually bump it up instead of jumping up a level that could suddenly make you like 2 seconds slower than everyone.

Great!
I thought about mentioning Project Cars as an example of how to fix that.
The funny thing is, the performance of the cars in Codemasters F1 games are, internally, values with a granularity far beyond where players could even feel a difference. You can change this on PC to perfectly suit your own pace (or at least could in the last one I played, 2012).
So the small amount of difficulty levels is just a conscious decision for limitation and simplification, but most racing games seem to do this.

I share mine with Bob Sweikert who won the 1955 Indy 500 when it was part of the f1 circuit. He never competed in a race outside of the USA and died a year later in a minor midget race.
I wish I had an F1 car as a wall hanging.

Shit Nelson Piquet says
The game has a minor screen tearing issue that appears now and then on Xbox One however my initial impressions are positive and I am enjoying the game so far.
Only done a few quick races so far but I noticed in cockpit view if you go off the track sometimes you get dirt on your screen, which is a nice detail that Iliked.

"For whom you'll dedicate your championship? I dedicate to myself, I won it. Why the fuck would I dedicate to someone else?" "Unfortunately people blamed me of some rumors that he didn't like women. For two years we only saw him with a 'friend' but it wasn't me spreading it." "Another day a journalist asked me 'Being honest who is the best? You or Senna?' I said, 'I'm alive.'" This motherfucker is comedic gold. Too bad this thing can't be updated with Nelson asking Lewis about Nicole from a couple of years ago.Always cracks me up. Nelson is the definition of zoeira.
Funnily enough so did the old EA F1 games. They were rubbish in just about every aspect, but putting the AI on a slider (where you could go up to about 150% if I remember rightly) was good.
stream dat ish!
Unfortunately I have to go to the hospital for an appointement. I did a quick time trial in Canada and so far so good.
Runs great on my PC (around 100fps with everything maxed out on my 1080).
I'll need to tweak my controls a bit cause my TX with the Alcantara rim is not really well recognized. I have button numbers on track (which is good) but Xbox buttons in the menu and they don't make sense.... Anyway I'll play around with that stuff when I get back.
Oh shit, it's out today! Hopefully should be on Steam soon (and it isn't unlocked in Australia at some ungodly hour).
Oh god, please don't run like shit on my 280X (or any AMD card).
Edit: This has Workshop support for car setups? Wow. Also, do we have a thread yet? Edit: Found thread, just had to read.

It's downloading on my Xbox, as I already have the elite controller.
Did MS just update their system to actually allow you to split a purchase between the account balance and another card or PayPal? Never let me do it before.

Official thread for the game, folks.
First reviews in, sounds like they nailed it!
Eurogamer (very positive)
