A great start to the franchise on the new consolesy - I’ve been looking forward to this ever since it was announced, and it has lived up to my expectations! There are a few minor flaws which I will get out the way now. Firstly although the safety car is in the grid ore start I’ve yet to see it come out of a crash and don’t think it’s included this year. Secondly there are no longer marbles which collect on the side of the track during the race this is minor but adds to the realism. The last thing is the crash dynamics with that being said you can get some fairly spectacular incidents but the damage seems limited wings break off wheels come off but that’s it not even the nose cone comes off this time round. For a next gen title is expect carbon fibre flying from every bit of bodywork imaginable. Now on to the stuff that really makes the game shine firstly the handling there is definitely some satisfaction having to fight with opposite lock to keep the car straight on cold or worn tyres. It really does take concentration to keep these cars on the road and one small mistake could end your race. The visuals are one again stunning and some screenshots that I took could be mistaken for TV cars look great tracks look great and the weather will blow your mind. While in the subject of weather I must say the way clouds build and rain can gradually start of there can be a cloud burst out of the blue like I had in Malaysia on the last 5 laps,makes it very interesting. I would say the visuals only lack on the drivers. They are by no means shocking but not as polished as everything else. This is understandable as there would be a huge amount of work for them to facial scan every driver. Presentation wise they have finally gone for the broadcast approach which is a real nice touchable adds to the atmosphere. The new feature of being able to interact with your race engineer through voice it actually pretty good and sometimes is very useful. Some will say it’s a gimmick but when your tearing round the streets of Monaco and want to know who’s behind or if there is rain imminent asking the engineer is very helpful. My brief online encounter was very buggy but this will no doubt be fixed in the next patch. All in all of your an f1 fan you can’t go wrong with F1. 2015. There are a few annoying things which is hard to believe they’d missed. But it’s still the best f1 yet - 13th July 2015
