Right, so I got back into the game last night after a bit of a hiatus vacationing at the Forza festival and going to ancient Greece. But also because, after the second season, I wanted to restart my career and take on a more challenging role.
You see I won my second season extremely comfortably. I won the WDC at Japan, after completely dominating the whole season with a car that were way too far out developed. It does seem like the AI teams struggle to keep up with the player if you do all the practice programs and score purple every time.
So my new challenge is in the Torro Rosso team. And this time I am limiting myself to only do 1 practice program per free practice day. So I only get 3 practice programs for each racing weekend. Also I am bumping up the difficulty and starting the season already on a back foot.
And so, I went into the Australian GP with little to no expectations of getting a good position. And you know what, it was the most fun race ever!! All the fighting, overtaking, defensive driving, strategy needed to participate in the race was something I only experienced in the first few rounds of my first season. It was extremely enjoyable. Also coming after a totally dominant season, it was nice to have to try hard to race other drivers.
So my first race I ended up in 12th place, which is absolutely amazing for me, seeing as I only qualified in 17th position on the grid. I had the most terrific fight with Ocon for about 5 laps, before Grojean started to pressure me. He unfortunately overtook me, but not after a fierce fight from me.
I feel like I’m back into this game now.

Project cars arrived in the post on Monday.
So far it’s the game I have been missing!
I wanted to do a racing career and PC2 lets me start as low down as karting.
I dont enjoy the karts so I have started in formula rookie.
The driving line is almost non existant so i turned it off. It takes me 6 laps to get the hang of which corner to enter where, but i must say its flippen awesome.
It’s really an amazing game! I am so in love with the LMP1 cars. Just the way they drive and sound gives me the chills!

Great!! Enjoy dude. Yes, PC2 is a much more simulation game than F1 2018. F1 is very good at its handling model, but PC2 makes it feel almost like an arcade game.
I’ve actually also been into PC2 more than F1 as of late. The handling takes a lot to get used to on a wheel, but it’s much easier than with a pad. I found that I’m much more comfortable with the wheel. And it makes sense, seeing as PC2 is built to be more of a sim racer.

It took me about 4 hours to get used to how twitchy everything is in the game.
As the FR cars max out at about 180 you can tap the accelerator through corners as opposed to f1.
With us pretty much on the last step of the move i will get a wheel once we have heard about our move to Brunei.
Everybody is different, but to me PC2 is exactly what I wanted and smacks Forza 7 on the bottom

(I’m not sure if it deserves its own thread or if adding to this one makes more sense? Mods call to keep it here, or split it off into a new thread)
We are very happy to announce that F1® 2019, the official videogame of the 2019 FIA FORMULA ONE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP™, is coming a full two months earlier into the F1® season and will launch worldwide on Friday 28th June 2019! To whet your appetite (just a little…) and celebrate today’s announcement we’ve released a trailer, which showcases some of the game’s brand new look and feel. You can check it out right here:
For the first time ever, you’ll be able to get behind the wheel of a 2019 regulation car specifically designed in collaboration with F1®’s technical team, headed up by Ross Brawn and Pat Symonds. The car, which will be available in Multiplayer, adheres to the 2019 regulations and comes with a range of livery designs offering you a new level of personalization.

Despite the bold “Pre-order Now” banner at the end of the trailer, I haven’t found any sales pages for the game yet. So no pricing info available just yet. Will add them in when I do.

DUDE!!! I am so happy about the early release date!! I hope this game is a departure from the other titles in the past. While F1 games have been good, it needs a step up to the next level.
Couple of things from the press statement:
- Stock 2019 cars - this means we’ll get to play with the engineering car that Ross Brawn and his team develops as a guide for teams to base their 2019 car off of. A stock standard 2019 spec car with no liveries, and possible customization!!!
- F2 most probably confirmed!!! In the very short announcement trailer, there is a shot of the outline of a 2019 F2 car. There is no denying that is an F2 car. Will we see F2 races in our campaigns?!
- Codemasters for the first time is working hard WITH F1 and Liberty Media in building this game. This might mean better graphic overlays.
I am so excited. I’m definitely pre-ordering this today

Still no sign of digital pre-order pages for me, so if you do find any hook a brother up. The Twitter account said it would be “coming soon” about 16 hours ago. Only thing I’ve found so far is physical Anniversary Editions at Game UK:
At least gives an indication of pricing. Hopefully Steam Regional Pricing helps us PC racers out again a little more…

Still no indication of digital sales pages for XBox or PS, or on the Codemasters Digital Store, but the Steam Store page is up. No pricing as yet, or mention of the different versions either, but you can Wishlist it.

Steam pre-orders are now active. And yay, it looks like we’re getting solid benefits from Regional Pricing.
Anniversary Edition @ R329
Legends Edition @ R379

This makes things very difficult because I was thinking of getting it for the XBox One but wow, it’s a lot cheaper on Steam.
I have barely played the previous one so I really don’t want to get this one
BUT
How realistic is that

Its not out yet though, I’m pretty sure the gameplay from 2018 looked similar before it was actually released

The Steam version of F1 2019 is 62% cheaper in South Africa than in the US. So tempting.

Any publisher that gives us a favourable rate on a game is deserving of support - that’s for sure.

If they want to make a killing they should add a “pay to win” option for Ferrari fans
