LugnutUSA Member Registered: 08/11/08 Posts: 1089 Loc: VA, USA	Part one of an interview with Steven Hood: http://www.videogamer.com/xbox360/f1_2012/news/interview_with_f1_2012s_steve_hood_part_1.html Q: On a technical level, what have been the big hurdles for F1 2012? SH: I'd say there have been two big hurdles, one of which is the updates to the physics engine that we wanted to do… Q: You mentioned that. What's going on there? SH: Well, we closed 11 out without a physics programmer, which is a bit of a problem on a racing game! _________________________ Active Sims: rFactor, GTR2 Inactive Sims: NR 2003, RACE '07, F1C, GPL, GP3, GP2 citizen059 on Steam citizen059 on Planetside 2 (Waterson - Vanu Sovereignty)

And, this coming from a company that recently announced it was only going to do racing games. I sure hope they get a physics programmer before they start. _________________________ "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on, or by imbeciles who really mean it."

LugnutUSA Member Registered: 08/11/08 Posts: 1089 Loc: VA, USA	Oh, no worries, they have one now. Which led to this absolute gem just a few sentences later: The wheels are in contact with the ground a lot more and you suddenly get a lot more feedback. They're doing the right things, which means when it gets sent off to other departments, like the audio team, they're getting the correct inputs to their system. When you start to slide we can play the audio at the right point and you think, "Ah, I'm pushing the envelope here now". Previously, it wouldn't [work like that], they'd get these weird numbers and go,"When do we start putting in the screeching noise?" _________________________ Active Sims: rFactor, GTR2 Inactive Sims: NR 2003, RACE '07, F1C, GPL, GP3, GP2 citizen059 on Steam citizen059 on Planetside 2 (Waterson - Vanu Sovereignty)

Agreed. The games had enjoyable moments, but certainly weren't without their share of quirks. Now I kind of understand why. _________________________ Active Sims: rFactor, GTR2 Inactive Sims: NR 2003, RACE '07, F1C, GPL, GP3, GP2 citizen059 on Steam citizen059 on Planetside 2 (Waterson - Vanu Sovereignty)

Wedge Member Registered: 02/13/06 Posts: 1210	I have F1 2010 and I still enjoy it very much. Last year I thought about getting F1 2011, but kept putting off that purchase. I am pretty sure I will purchase 2012 upon release in Sept.
