…one more thing: Make Schummi a choice of driver (If he replaces Massa)
This would boost the game as well as the general interest of the game too

A game as close to an F1 simulator as possible.
Plus please make this the best ever online racing game too. (Please not like GRID where a lot of silly players ruins the game by driving stockcar race)

im not sure that codemasters will be able to recreate the realsim that sony created with f1 06 but we’ll have to see. the good thing about codemasters gaining the rights is that they can make the game playable on different formats, and i would love to see this game on the wii. we will just have to wait and see….

realistic damage
more failures rather than just engine
realistic tire wear
realistic performance when relating to the amount of fuel carried

i dont want a game where a car carrying 17 laps of fuel laps at roughly the same time as a car carrying 30 laps of fuel,also a car with more fuel on board should wear out its tires faster than a car with less fuel.

realistic race marshal animations,plus all the marshals and race flags
safty cars
different stratagy options,dont have all the bot cars piting on the same lap.

options to change pit stop stratagy.ie being allowed to change from say a 3 stop to a 1 stop during the race

I would love to see three main things:

(1) Realistic graphics, e.g. damage
(2) Brawn GP have to be included
Finally…
(3) A design your own Formula One team, including
the graphics stage of designing your car, helmet and
driver…

i think taht they should base the game on just f1 , all the new teams and drivers like brawn gp, that would be a great game if they added the kerz system to make you go faster if you want it like in the real f1 09 season.

the game needs to have a really good career mode with job offers and pit stops where you can change your tires even if your on a 12 lap race also it needs to have your race engineer talking to you during the race. finally there needs to be some interaction after the race in parc ferme.

dont forget being able to be ur own driver or even having your own team dat would be a plus.

i think the ego engine will be massively improved for f1 2009 as they improved it a great amount for race driver grid when they re used it from dirt. so in conclusion it would also only be using one discipline aswell as the name is in the title F1 and i cannot wait for it to come out. get in!! lol

The new F1 2009 game should have all the circuits of the 2008 season and also the the 2009 season and you can select your custom circuits when you want to play a full championship season.
The TV GRAPHICS should spot on like the 2008 season or 2009 season and also an editor for editing them and also
updatable CARS CIRCUITS and OTHER EDITORS which you can get from the internet. MOST IMPORTANTLY A PIT assistence
key and when pressed the car gets controlled by the AI,
the car SLOWS down before entering the PITS, makes the stop and exits the PIT.
ALSO the PIT CREW ANNIMATIONS should be REALISTIC like
(changing tyres, refueling, changing damaged parts like the GP4 series which is a spendid and best F1 game till date)
ALSO ABSOLUTELY SPOT ON REALISTIC SOUND like the awesome FLICKERING ( not cracking ) SOUND which happens
just after every GEAR UPSHIFTS ( love to hear it ).
AND also I forgot A SAFTY CAR.

I am so glad that codemaster are publishing an f1 game for 360. What i mostly want from F1 2009 is everything exactly the same as the real-life f1 season such as, being able to fine- tune your car exactly how you want to drive it with extreme detail and a realy good carrer mode that will last for years. Most of all however I would love for this game to have car handleing like Progect Gotham 4 or Forza 2 which is realistic and you must be on your game to handle your car around corners and follow the raceing line not the Race driver Grid sharp turning un-realistic easy turning which also features in Codemaster rally games. So please Codemaster BE REALISTIC. JH – England.

what i want is an f1 game that will let me change my strategy mid race eg if bad weather happens etc.In the last game also if you knocked your front wing off in the first corner and had to pit for a new one the team instead of just putting on a new wing they take it as your first scheduled stop and fill you to the brim with fuel and change your tires after 1 lap.

I have only purchased my PS-3 because of the impending new 2009 version. We the users require a realistic handling set-up capability when completing pre-race tests. We don’t expect all the differing race play,A1 modes,Race play etc to be perfect on this first installment, however as has been said there are many previous versions and current race Sims to work from and better.
The following is a MUST LIST/not wish along with the above blogs that must be surpassed to entice and retain ALL the F1 family :-
1. Safety car.
2. Challengers/pressure for your seat.
3. Achievable and realist aims.
4. Podium upon race completion.
5. Changeable wings for differing set ups.
6. More errors on drivers put under pressure.
That will do for now as this is only the first installment. P.s Do not RUSH it out. Get it right, if you want our cash.

Still to date the only F1 game worth looking at is Geoff Crammonds GP4.

Since that time which is over 6 years now, Sinbin has been the only other developer to have made a worth while & realistic racing car game called GTR.

I have tried the od F1 game on the PS2 & PS3 but they just frustrate me and are a total waste of time.

I hope to god that codemasters are serious about designing this game for the real F1 fan in mind.

The most important thing is that this game needs to be realistic. If its not then it will have the same response as all other F1 games over the last 6 years. It won’t even make it to the top 10 game list and will be a total waste of money to Codemasters.

So my wish list:

1. REALISTIC.
2. All drivers.
3. All tracks.
4. Complete race weekend.
5. Complete championship (Ongoing career mode with pre-session changes would also be nice).
6. Realistic pit stops with different race strategies.
7. Detailed car setups.

Simple:
GP4 game from the PC with the graphics and career mode of F1 Championship addition on PS3.
