F1 23

[Stockman14]

Out next week. Is anyone bothering this time? £65 seems a bit steep

[CT05 Nose Cone]

I'll just wait for Game Pass, it's bound to be broken on launch, and still the same basic game just with more monitisation.

[Stockman14]

New/updated features:

- Updated vehicle handling & physics
- The return of red flags
- 35% race distance
- Precision Drive™
- Las Vegas and Qatar
- Updated Catalunya layout

Hopefully it'll include a lot of bug and gameplay fixes and not just focused on the EA pay to win formula.

As I have F1 2017, 18, 19, 20, 21 and 22, I suspect I might get this... BUT I will do so as I usually do, once the price comes down to 25-30......

[Stockman14]

I'm the same, I'll get it, but not sure when!

[anonymous-user]

Probably not.

I purchased 2019 nearly two years ago for £5 and have played it to death. I saw 2022 for £7.95 recently so purchased it thinking it would be brilliant.

Absolutely hated it as soon as I played it, I have tried to persevere but I have just gone back to 2019.

If you can't wait a few months for the price to drop, then the Windows version is £44.99 (£59.99 for Champion's Edition) on CDKEYs or £59.99/£71.99 on Steam.

Enjoying it so far , just playing the story mode for the moment, more feedback through fantac wheel and the ai seems a bit more intelligent

Following this thread.

I say the same thing every year, I'll wait until its down in price, then generally cave in and pick it up at full price!!

From early reports I've read/ seen, it's an improvement on F1 22, although I didn't have many issues on that one.

[Stockman14]

I ended up getting this as a birthday present and spent a few hours playing.

Initial thoughts:
- Cars are a lot more driveable, but maybe a little twitchy.
- The pay to win element is massive
- Braking Point is fun for a change of scene
- F1 World is going to take over

[Stockman14]

Small update, it's very broken, so don't rush to buy it!

[CT05 Nose Cone]

What are the pay to win elements, do the affect the single player?

[Stockman14]

Pay to win doesn't affect my team, career mode etc. Not yet anyway!

[gotoPzero]

I see this is on "sale" @£48. I still play F1 2018.....

2 questions... I have a 6700K and a 1070ti / 32gb ram. Will it run ok?

Is the online mode any good?

[Stockman14]

I play on PS5 so not sure but...

Hmm was thinking about getting this the other week.

Always dubious for full price and then inevitably don't want it when it's out of date haha.

[gotoPzero]

I went for it - had it a few days.

Overall, pretty good. The AI are very aggressive though. Way beyond what is realistic they will just drive straight into you.

Online, well seems ok. Cant figure out how to get PTT to work though even though its mapped. Quality of the racers seems ok, you do get the occasional idiot. I am well down on the fast guys though, 2-3 seconds behind. I also have no real clue where the new tracks go.

The graphics are nothing special but they are a small improvement over the last F1 game I had (2018), the 1070Ti does not seem to struggle at all.

I will probably get another 5 years out of this version

[Jasandjules]

Still too expensive for me right now......
