F1 2011

[games-area]

Codemasters has already started work on F1 2011, according to F1 2010 senior producer Paul Jeal and lead designer Stephen Hood.


Speaking with Eurogamer ahead of F1 2010’s launch in the UK this Friday, the duo said while most of the staff are taking a much needed break, Jeal and Hood are already looking at ideas for the next installment.

“Paul and I have already started on ‘11 now,” said Hood. “There are some exciting things that we want to play around with.”

These ideas do not include title updates for F1 2010, as Jeal said the yearly release of the series doesn’t leave the team much time to produce extra content. However, a content update is something Hood would “love to do”.

“Yeah, it just would have taken too much development time… the dev cycle for a yearly iteration is so short when you factor in the sign-offs and all that stuff, anyway, that we just want to get our teeth stuck into it,” said Jeal, while not confirming if F1 2012 is in the cards as well or not.

“Certainly for 2011, that deal’s done and dusted. I think the 2012 deal isn’t a million miles away, it’s not signed yet, but I guess it depends on the sales, review scores, that type of thing.”

Jeal and Hood also admitted the team plans to work harder on the “Live the Life” mode of F1 2010 along with the multiplayer options in F1 2011.

“[We have the most work to do on] Live the Life and multiplayer, just because we’ve had to invest that much time in the first one on the career, the meat and bones, the driving, the pit-stops, the weather,” said Jeal. “We had some great ideas which have been fairly well stripped back in development for both Live the Life and multiplayer.”

“Sometimes Paul and I can go into those interviews and it’s hard for us, because we know how it’s meant to be working. It’s disappointing for us when we haven’t quite reached that level,”added Hood, who said the developers will “take a more focused approach” on F1 2011’s features and aiming for more consistency.

“We’re saying these are the core features, these are absolutely essential, the game will hang together if we have these things in. Everything else will be considered a bonus. That’s what we haven’t done in ‘10.”



Codies already working on F1 2011, has “exciting things” planned for it

Prefer sa apara F1 2011 dupa pauza de vara de F1 cu reale progrese decat sa apara devreme si sa lucreze numai la masini, eventual sa adauge o casca noua si Circuitul din India.
Ce-i drept, cred ca va fi doar atat, dar si asa, sa zicem ca merge F1 2010, cel putin jucat cu gamepad daca nu, si mai bine cu volan ( tastatura iese din discutie ) insa ar putea sa se chinuie putin sa bage un Safety Car, setari macar pe la nivelul lui F1CE la care Liverpool a ajuns dupa vreo 4 jocuri lansate. Nu zic sa scoata Quick Setup pentru cei care n-au chef sau sa fie optional SCul dar pot sa puna putin osu' pentru cei care vor asta. Eventual sa puna si alte circuite cum ar fi Jerez, Valencia Ricardo Tormo, Imola/Imola 1994, Fratii Rodriguez, Silverstoneul ante-1990 de superiviteza sau LAGUNA SECA.

Eu unul sunt foarte incant si de f1 2010 se misca foarte bine si destul de real, dar cum a zis si cipry sper sa aduca ceva imbunatatiri f1 2011

am jucat si aceasta versiune din 2011, nu sunt un fan inrait al genului dar dupa ce termini un sezon pe locul unu ce ar putea sa te mai stimuleze sa joci si urmatorul sezon ? din cate am vazut am atins cam toate targeturile inca din primul sezon, asa ca urmatoarele nu mai ofereau nimic in afara de cursele in sine. Tin sa precizez ca eu am jucat pe easy. Poate cu vola se schimba si experienta de joc si nu mai da ocazia sa te plictisesti :P
