Ex-Swordfish Studios outfit, Codemasters Birmingham takes on development responsibilities for Xbox 360, PS3, and PC...

Following the release of last year's F1 2009 for Wii and PSP, Codemasters has just announced F1 2010 for a September release on Xbox 360, PS3, and PC. Unlike F1 2009 though, which was developed at Sumo Digital with a casual audience in mind, F1 2010 is in production at ex-Swordfish Studios outfit, Codemasters Birmingham and has been developed specifically for the HD platforms.

Utilising Codemasters' EGO Game Technology Platform, which powered the likes of Colin McRae: DiRT 2 and Race Driver: GRID, the development of F1 2010 has apparently extended the scope of this tech to, "accurately recreate the unique aerodynamics and handling of 200mph+ Formula One cars".

As well as promises of a damage modelling system, dynamic weather effects, and "extensive" multiplayer options, Codematsers also aims to ship four separate modes with the game: Grand Prix, Championship, Time Trial, and a full Career mode as well.

F1 fans can also rest assured that Michael Schumacher will be in the game at his new spot in the Mercedes GP team, and this year's new addition to the F1 calendar (the Korean International Circuit) will also be present and accounted for. Codemasters is promising the "introduction of several new teams" as well, so we'll go ahead and presume that the Lotus, Virgin, and HRT teams will all make the cut.

F1 2010 marks the first F1 licensed game to appear on the PS3 since the F1 Championship Edition launch title in 2007, and the first Xbox or PC F1 game since EA had the license way back in 2003.

great game, photorealistic graphics and it's fun to play, but i'm disappointed about the fact that there's no split screen multiplayer!! 4/5.

I'm going to have to disagree with you on the handling. With a steering wheel, it really is the best attempt at F1 handling I've played in a racing game and that includes the Geoff Crammond games.

Nowhere near as good as the review suggests.  I tried playing it on a 42" 1080p TV and thought it was amazing.  I then played it on a lo-res non-HD TV and it really allowed me to concentrate on the gameplay, which is actually plain awful.  Yes, it's pretty, but if you want a racer that responds like a F1 car you're best off looking elsewhere.  Forza 3 offers a much better experience and doesn't patronise you with a ridiculous career mode.

get a driving force GT or a G27 wheel from logitech if youve got it on 360 im sorry there isnt much choice it terms of wheels either the madcatz wireless wheel thats not wireless (unless it has a hugely powerfull battery for the force feed back) its powered by the mains or the official wheel for the 360 (just be careful with it as i hear it can catch fire, is that why microsoft stopped making them ???).

Yeah, the lack of reliability problems and the fact that those engine temperature readings don't really amount to much are a bit dissapointing. This was Codemasters Birmingham's first attempt though. I think you'll see the studio tackle these issues in next year's game.

the game is really great and very technical, so you gotta keep your concentration levels at their peak especially in the more aggressive tracks.this does convey a great gaming experience and winning a race makes you jump up in jubilee.My only real problem is the damage modelling which could have been far better and the greatest of my concerns is there are really no engine failures that i have experienced or gearbox issues at all.i even revved the hell outta the car for a good 5-10 min and nothing just high temp level.this is really dissapointing cause it means you can race on manual sequential like a complete novie ameteur and still finish the race....Anyone agree with me here????marco xbox 360 RSA
