F1 2011 - Who's ordered it?

[Nick Goodall]

My wife kindly ordered this for me as a wedding anniversary present so looking forward to getting it!

Apparently loads of updates & changes including safety cars, all bugs fixed and up to date cars / teams etc.

Can't wait to get it, I still enjoy F1 2010 to be honest even though the bugs got a bit annoying at times you just had to "play" around them haha.

Anyone else getting it??

[Big G]

tempted, but without a proper steering wheel it makes playing on a keyboard tricky.

I do wish they'd release a mac version too since you can buy it through steam now. just saves me using bootcamp.

Had mine ordered for months. Got a steering wheel for it too, but found the xbox controller was far easier. You can get console style controllers for pc's though.

Nick, when is it due? Was thinking about pre-ordering it for PS3 a while back, but forgot all about it!!

Should be out 23rd September so you may get it that day i'd guess??

I've got it pre-ordered for ps3. Traded F1 2010 in for Gran Turismo earlier in the year, so really looking forward to getting hold of this one!

Picked mine up today - PS3... after an hour of running (post patch) am wishing I had a decent pc now more than ever .... still playable, the feel has improved.... but not the PS3's finest hour by a long shot (low res,low fps) anyone else got it yet ?

[sldmodels]

I thought it wasn't due till tomorrow? You're the second person to say they've got it, but the first person was Lewis Hamiltons brother Nic.

Its being played as we speak, rotters, im at work and my mates are busy testing the game out Grrr! never mind come 5oclock I shall be there!!

I've got F1 2011 reserved on Xbox360 at Game, but I might just nip over to Asda at midnight to get a copy, tends to be cheaper there on release anyway.

[sldmodels]

I'm going to say it, I've played the game for 5 mins, done 2 laps of Montrel, I prefer F1 2010. Response is better on this one, but graphics we're better on the original.

[DaSloth]

Seriously? f1 2010 was ok, but so far this one feels much nicer and i reckon looks nicer too.

[telboy]

I've had for a day and there are two things to moan about.

1. The car just kicks into reverse whenever you have the brakes on when you spin. (ps3 controller)

2. .....am I right in thinking that they want to charge for online play?
I tried to go online and it asked for the redeem code in the case, which is only valid for one visit to online play? I didn't take it up because it started asking for all my account details when I put it up.

[deano261]

I'm absolutely loving it at the moment and its definitely a step up from 2010 but my only gripe is the Force India doesn't look complete without the Whyte And Mackay Sponsors

[sldmodels]

the brake / reverse thing sounds like a bug, but it does kick in a bit too quick on xbox too, but only when you've stopped anyway (I know that sounds daft, but you should have to release the brake before applying again to reverse).

I'm getting to like it now, got to first qualy in 12th place, but my bug bare is something that'll only be sorted with an update I doubt will come, it pressumes everyone playing the game is male and that's how it refers to drivers.

[rondoolaa]

i'm still playing F1 championship edition, owned F1 2010 for about 3 days then traded it in, wasnt that impressed with it, i hope 2011 is better ?

[wacattack]

Something they haven't sorted and really winds me up is cars on slow laps staying on the racing line when you are on a flying lap.

I'm finding the gameplay much harder than the last game. The last version I could get pole position with the lotus with all driving aids turned off bar automatic transmission. The new game I'm 3-4 seconds a lap off pole position in the same car.
