Whats this game like?

I have just bidded for one on ebay its nearly impossible to find one in stores even 2nd hand.

Also Codemasters are making the next formula 1 game, ive heard that its going to be SIM like, but in your opionion what is the best F1 game made.

I do not have a PS3 right now but i will soon. Most likely will get a MGS4 pack.

Tell me your thoughts please

the current one on PS3, is the best ive ever played, and somehow I dont think codemasters efforts are going to be as good, im just doubtful for some reason. I havent played it in ages, but now that I got a big 47" samsung LSD screen, its gonna get some more playing time. definantly worth buying if your into F1, using the PS3 sixaxis controller as a steering wheel is pretty sweet too.

Well... mr impatient... as long as you have a decent HD tv and HDMI cable it LOOKS absolutely amazing. The sun glare is an amazing effect (especially at Monaco). The sound, if you have surround sound is very very good, not the extent of the graphics, but very good none the less.

The most impressive things are the little things you hardly notice that make up its realism. The pit stops are great fun, as your fully interactive with them, so if you fcuk up, it costs you. The most impressive thing about it is the very responsive controls and drivability.

If you muck around with the cars settings it really does have a massive effect on how the car handles. After a awhile you discover you have a particular driving style and how you want the car to react in corners. If you love the technical side of F1, it’s a geeks paradise. Conversely if you just like honing around, its really good fun too with damage on. Beware, the Mclarens are prone to losing the front wing VERY easily. The Renault... is like god on in car form. Awesome car.

oh and LOL you really do have to watch out for taku... dangerous kent

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again? 
    • I haven’t yet cut the chassis, maybe I switch to a reverse flow. I’ve got the Intercooler mounted as I already had it but not cut yet. Might have to speak to an engineer 
    • Yes that’s another issue, I always have a front mount, plus will be turbo plus intake will big hasstle. I’ve been told if it looks stock they’re fine with it by a couple others who have done it ahahaha.    I know @Kinkstaah said the stock gtt airbox is limiting but I might just have to do that to avoid a defect so it atleast looks legit. Or an enclosed pod so it’s hidden away and feed air from the snorkel and below Intercooler holes like kinstaah mentioned. Hmm what to do
