Graphics card gets a lot of work with Codemasters F1 games (hence the graphical bugs on console versions, for example), and most of the time graphics card is fully used (easy to check on PC).

F1 2015-2016-2017, meanwhile, are both CPU and GPU dependent - CPU for all calculations, and GPU for showing a lot of details for that immersion - and I'm talking A LOT of details, even small ones (moving people in pits, moving crowd, flags, moving trees, pitboards, various 3D models, plus high-quality textures and stuff). Codemasters F1 games use their own gam engine, also known as EGO game engine - since 2015 the game uses an updated version of that game engine, which is being constantly improved still.Įvery game engine works differently with the resources they get - for example, rFactor (2) or Assetto Corsa don't require a good GPU since they're mostly CPU-bound, they don't have THAT many details to show on the screen at once, so they can have VR since they're not really giving Graphics card a lot of work. The only racing games I know which have VR but are not based on gMotor are PCars series. Welcome to the game development - every game uses different "base" code, so it's nothing like "oh but it's in older game".ĪCorsa IIRC was based off gMotor game engine originally (engine of rFactor), currently - probably some custom made game engine, not sure Raceroom is also based off gMotor game engine if I'm correct. How is it that a Assetto has VR and its 4 years old ? what about Raceroom just got VR and it 5 years old ? I'm sure they can put it in F1 2018 if they want to. I have to imagine regular players would throw a fit if they have to play in an off-centered or out of proportion Tcam or cockpit view that we cant fully adjust to fix. Just the range of a couple of clicks it does have isnt going to really help.

I point that out because those games have a full range of camera adjustments allowing regular TV players to easily fix those issues adding VR causes and these F1 games do not have full range adjustments or USB keyboard support for camera adjustments. Thats why most of the cars in pcars 2 and AC are not totally centered on a tv screen if you really look at them and why GT has just one separate special mode for VR with very limited VR gameplay in it. Which means it will cause things like camera views to not be totally centered on a tv screen, dashes and steering wheels sometimes wont line up properly from one side of the car to the other and things like that for TV players.
Adding VR to the game effects how the cars are modeled and look in the normal camera views also. With consoles involved, Its not just a matter of adding VR to a racing game.

In the end, F1 2018 is a racing game that puts you at the heart of the action and which ever team you choose to start your career with it will be a unique and tricky experience. You can be a team player like Lewis Hamilton and keep signing with the top team, or you can follow Daniel Ricciardo's recent path and take on a new challenge at a lesser team.Īll of this goes out of the window if you have a particular affinity for one team over all the others though.
Remember, with the new contract negotiations you have the opportunity to jump teams at several points during the season too, so you aren't making a decision straight away and having to stick with it.

You are able to create performance gaps by continually increasing the AI difficulty and removing driver aids so that the challenge goes on for season after season. If you are new to F1 games then jumping into a Ferrari or Red Bull will give you the best immediate experience and make the game much easier to learn. However, if you start with a backmarker it can be years of hard work and grinding before you step onto a podium, making the achievement that much bigger. Without much to differentiate season from season, F1 2018 can become a procession if you start with a top team and develop them away from the rest of the field. Seasoned players should take the biggest challenge and take a seat at Williams, Sauber, or Toro Rosso. However, it is a long, long road to making them competitive.
British players will feel a huge draw to Williams due to their heritage, while newer players may want to take the reins and partner Leclerc or Pierre Gasly and take those teams to the top of the grid for the first time.
