F1 2012 To Launch Worldwide in September
Ahead of the first race of the 2012 FIA FORMULA ONE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP in Melbourne this weekend, Codemasters today announced that F1 2012 will launch worldwide in September for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PLAYSTATION 3 computer entertainment system and PC. F1 2012 is the next game in the award-winning, multi-million selling series from Codemasters as part of an exclusive multi-year deal with Formula One World Championship Limited.
To mark the announcement and introduce one of F1 2012’s new headline features, Codemasters has released a video following F1 2012 Creative Director, Stephen Hood, as he meets the next generation of drivers at the Young Driver Test. Filmed at the Yas Marina Circuit, home of the FORMULA 1 Abu Dhabi GRAND PRIX, Stephen asks if their experience with Codemasters’ FORMULA ONE games has been of benefit as they prepare for a career in the world’s most exciting motorsport in real life.

In the video, rising star Sam Bird, testing for Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team, says, “I think Codemasters have done a super job of giving regular people a proper insight into what a FORMULA ONE car is like.” In F1 2012 players will feel the unparalleled thrill of becoming a FORMULA ONE driver with a host of new features, wide-ranging technical and gameplay advancements and extensive competitive and co-operative multiplayer components. F1 2012 will feature all of the official teams, drivers and circuits from the 2012 FIA FORMULA ONE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP, including the debut of the 2012 FORMULA 1 UNITED STATES GRAND PRIX atAustin,Texasand the return ofGermany’s famous Hockenheim circuit to the calendar.

Why launch it in September? The F1 season is near the end at that time, IMO it would be far better if the game would be launched now when the season just started...

They can't because they don't know the design of the cars for the next season + drivers switching teams.

games F1 2011 vs F1 2012 - same bugs, same crapy carrier mode, same lamenesses and same graphics. only two new F1 technicaal "must have's" - kers and drs. why they just could not offer DLC right NOW with those 2011-2012 few driver changes, team name changes and minor calendar changes?

GRID was so awesome, well it still is in a way, right? I still play it anyway.
So yeah, definitely GRID 2 would be awseomesauce. I understand about doing a new game every season for the F1, but frankly, I feel this should appeal to a narrower bunch than a game like GRID. Plus, every year? Seriously? They aren't going to sell millions of those. I have F1 2011, I guess it's good if you are really into F1, but it's both too difficult and narrow in terms of gameplay for casual racers. And someone else made a valid point about the season being almost over. I think the real F1 fans would want to race the cars on the track of the next upcoming track in the actual F1 season, but what good when the game is released near the end of it? They can drive on the track in the game, but with last year's cars... ![]() I'm not sure I like it, Codemasters...

this - a thousand times this ^

I got 2010 and it was a broken bag of fail. releasing a game yearly is an excuse not to fix game breaking issues with the game and they know it. they should have released a game and given it regular and healthy seasonal updates. this model would attract more longterm players and community development |

die hard fans play iracing, live for speed, c.a.r.s., or rfactor f1 mod and don't bother with boxes that have codemasters stained on the outside, especially after the poor treatment of 2010, why would anyone give them more money? it just encourages this shitty behavior from more devs. |
