Codemasters have released screenshots from racing sim F1 2012 originally shown at this year’s E3.  The screenshots, although still a work in progress, look pretty good and it’s clear that Codemasters have been improving their Ego engine even more since last year.  However, as with all games, it isn’t just about the graphics and we’re still waiting on Codemasters to release more information on the game which is due for release this September.  Hopefully we’ll see something coming out of the pits in due course with the virtual racing set to start in less than 3 months.

Check out the gallery of screenshots after the break. Continue Reading

I’ve been playing F1 2011 for the past week and it’s taken a little getting used to all the different changes including the tyres, controls and new menus.  However, here are my thoughts in the video below which was taken in the 2011 Lotus F1 car and based at the Kuala Lampur F1 track, Malaysia:

F1: The game I’d like to see

With F1 2011 on its way on the 23rd September 2011 and with F1 just coming back from their summer break now seems like a good time to pick up on the series by Codemasters and highlight what I’d like to see in future iterations.

I’ve played F1 2010 now for 47 hours since its release which in my eyes is a staggering amount but just proves how captivating the series can be. I’ve put it aside now though as I wait patiently for this years game which will see the introduction of KERS, DRS and the new pirelli tyres. I’m excited about all of them after having seen how different the racing has been so far in the current season. Continue Reading

Today we have a trailer heavy Hot Press for you on gaming with two great videos for games coming out next year and a roundup of today’s best Steam deals in the Christmas sale.

Operation Flashpoint: Red River – Introducing Staff Sgt Knox:

In the latest video released by Codemasters we are introduced to Staff Sergeant Damien Knox who tells us that by using his experience he will protect his marines and accomplish the mission set.  Some great game play footage is shown in the trailer showing off various vehicles, environments which are set in night, day and in between and various weapons.  It will be interesting to see how much freedom you will have in accomplishing your missions but we do know now from Codemasters via their Twitter that the focus is on infantry in this game which means that there will be no flying around in helicopters this time round!
