Codies: "We've got the best F1 game ever"

The first details on F1 2010 have emerged, and Codies is already claiming "we've got the best F1 game ever".

"Literally nothing less will do. F1 games haven't set the world alight over the last decade and we think that the sport deserves a game which really captures its excitement and glamour," exec producer Gavin Raeburn told OXM.

Codies' F1 effort, which will be released when next year's championship is in "full swing", uses the impressive engine and tech behind GRID.

Raeburn promises to make "the drama and rivalry" of F1 part of the experience, plus the obligatory technical stuff like handling that changes depending on grip levels and weather conditions.

"The online component is as important as the single-player experience," he added. "Key to this is enabling people to find and play with the right people. If you're an arcade fan playing F1 online you probably want to play with like-minded players in shorter racers, rather than end up in a hardcore sim session."

More details and concept art can be found in the latest issue of OXM, on sale now.
