Erm... oh dear, graphics look very poor, especially trackside detail, AGAIN.

pirenzo · 23 Jun 2006, 18:28 (Ref:1639935)

They're not that bad really. Not up there with the best of racing games, but for a title that is essentially recycled year on year you can't complain too much. I'd hope they concentrated on other things like better damage, more accurate representation of actual track layout than what's on the other side of the barriers...

Knowlesy · 23 Jun 2006, 18:40 (Ref:1639947)

It's no different really, which is to be expected.

I shall pick it up, just so I have all the games in the series.....though I don't expect anything at all pleasant.

ASCII Man · 23 Jun 2006, 18:53 (Ref:1639953)

Err, it looks just like F1 05...

andy_b · 23 Jun 2006, 20:07 (Ref:1640004)

the biggest problem that F1 games have compared with other racing games, are that you need to be able to show the full grid sometimes, even with five or six LOD's that really screws poly counts. Plus all the extra track furniture for hordings, grandstands etc.

it looks OK though, nothing really new

Down F0rce · 24 Jun 2006, 09:28 (Ref:1640214)

Well, it looks utterly terrible.

carsreunited · 24 Jun 2006, 13:01 (Ref:1640267)

It looks the same as a Nigel Mansell game that I used to play on a Super Nintendo in 1993!

shambles · 24 Jun 2006, 13:21 (Ref:1640275)

I think they're concentrating more on the authenticity of the PS3 version.

Knowlesy · 24 Jun 2006, 13:38 (Ref:1640281)

The worrying thing about those pictures is the fact that Super Aguri drivers are on the top step of the podium!

pirenzo · 24 Jun 2006, 14:45 (Ref:1640303)

Yes, I think that's possibly the most worrying thing about it. By that evidence it is still as easy as ever to win in the slow cars. The damage doesn't look particularly convincing either.
All in all then just F105 with the cars repainted...

safc_fan89 · 24 Jun 2006, 15:39 (Ref:1640320)

Did anyone seriously expect anything different though? It's a shame it looks like there will be nothing new, but at least I can race online now.

I'll still be buying the game, and I can't say I'm too downhearted because it's always the same with F1 games on the PS2!

That's why I stopped buying them.

nickyf1 · 24 Jun 2006, 16:04 (Ref:1640331)

Are you sure thats not the PSP screenshots?

Knowlesy · 24 Jun 2006, 16:07 (Ref:1640334)

I must admit, that crossed my mind earlier....there are some textures and shapes that tend to suggest that.

dazbaz_99 · 24 Jun 2006, 18:14 (Ref:1640419)

If they are the PS2 graphics...

marcel82 · 25 Jun 2006, 00:33 (Ref:1640595)

it says PS2 top right...
are they still using the '96 engine?

Down F0rce · 25 Jun 2006, 08:41 (Ref:1640700)

I hope so, then the game would be good.

Rockmunky · 25 Jun 2006, 09:23 (Ref:1640709)

Yeah, i thought it was PSP too, but just look at PS2 F1 games before, graphically. The same.

Anyone noticed the flashy menu's in the game? It seems as if they spent more effort and money on those than the actual game itself..

Rockmunky · 25 Jun 2006, 09:53 (Ref:1640728)

Hang on a second...
I found a more reliable source, Gamespot.

Knowlesy · 25 Jun 2006, 12:35 (Ref:1640815)

I can't wait to play this game. I love a shocker now and again.

It's gonna be weird going from MotoGP 06 to F1 06!

shambles · 25 Jun 2006, 12:37 (Ref:1640817)

I seem to remember the F1 05 screens were rubbish, and then graphically I thought it was really good for a PS2 game, a giant leap in the F1 series at least.

Knowlesy · 25 Jun 2006, 12:39 (Ref:1640819)

That's true, actually. F1 05 turned out moderately pleasing to the eye, if you discounted the slightly incorrect car models.

safc_fan89 · 25 Jun 2006, 15:01 (Ref:1640866)

Graphics aren't everything, you know. The game could turn out to have excellent gameplay and be a pleasure to play on.

Or is that being a touch optimistic? ;-)

ps. if anyone ever goes on F1 05 online, I have just joined and go under the name 'chrisgoodall'. I'm surprised that there are still a lot of people using it online, as it is a year old now.

JABWOA · 26 Jun 2006, 07:18 (Ref:1641317)

Eye candy isn't the be all and end all. Gameplay is what is required (and F105 was good, but way too easy when against the AI.) After all the best F1 game (IMHO) is still Geoff Crammonds GP series 1-3(2000), not the greatest graffics but way fun to play and mod... (ps-I mean modern F1 sim...)

Rockmunky · 26 Jun 2006, 14:28 (Ref:1641677)

That's true, but graphics really help give the game that authentic feel, by looking like real life, it adds to the sense of realism.
