F1 2016

With the clock winding down until F1 2017’s release, we’ve decided to take a look at last year’s game. Particularly, what it did right, what it could have done better, and how this year’s game goes above and beyond.

Xbox players aren’t the only ones that get to enjoy savings on racing games this week. The latest North American PlayStation Store PS+ sale brings with it big discounts on two of Codemasters’ more recent offerings and more.

With the start of the 2017 Formula 1 season a little over a month away, Codemasters has finished the post-game development on its latest official Formula 1 video game with a small but important patch.

Gamers looking to get behind the squared-off wheel of an F1 car have just had another option added to the list. Shortly after releasing F1 2016 on PS4, Xbox One, and PC platforms earlier this year, Codemasters announced plans to bring the title to mobile platforms. That day has arrived, with a catch: so far, only iOS users have access to the mobile version.

A new patch for F1 2016 has been launched, mainly focusing on polishing technical aspects of the game. The patch introduces significantly fewer changes than the previous update, but the importance of improving the game’s stability are no less important.

We’re pleased to present another interesting video comparison, this time taking place at Autodromo Nazionale Monza. Youtube user Andrea Candini has taken two modern driving simulators — F1 2016 and Assetto Corsa — and put on a trial of technical capabilities using Ferrari’s SF16-H and SF15-T F1 machines respectively. We can’t stress enough how much we love these kind of skirmishes, where even exceptionally minute details are uncovered.

With this year’s game out in the wild and receiving plenty of critical praise, it should come as no surprise that Codemasters are hard at work ironing out issues reported by the community.

The wait is over. F1 2016 is now available on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC platforms, releasing just in time to perfectly align with the sport returning to Spa-Francorchamps for the Belgian Grand Prix in one week’s time. Of course, should players choose to do so, the timely release allows the remainder of this year’s season to be raced using the same event schedule.

With the retail release of this year’s title merely hours away, InsideSimRacing’s hands-on impressions of the pre-release build of F1 2016 comes to a close with a 5-lap race at Sochi Autodrom, home of the Russian Grand Prix.

F1 2016 is a mere day away from launch. Codemasters’ latest iteration in their long-running franchise promises the return of features in previous games, whilst bringing in some new additions. Here at GTPlanet, Micheal Leary (you’ll probably know him as Terronium-12) and I have bashed our heads together and listed the top 5 features we can’t wait to try out when the game releases. These are listed in no particular order.

The clock is ticking; four days remain until the release of this year’s title, and InsideSimRacing’s hands-on impressions of a pre-release build of F1 2016 continues with yet another detailed look at the much-talked-about career mode.

Only one week is left until the worldwide release of F1 2016. To ensure loyal supporters can prepare all the required equipment for their first drive, Codemasters has released the full list of compatible controllers and steering wheels for the game. Hopefully you’ll be able to find your beloved product in the list below:

With just shy of a week until release, InsideSimRacing’s hands-on impressions of a pre-release build of F1 2016 continue with another look at the much-talked-about career mode. Still behind the wheel of Manor Racing’s MRT05, this time ISR showcases the action that takes place at the Bahrain International Circuit.

With only several days remaining until the release of this year’s game, InsideSimRacing were able to get their hands on a preview build of F1 2016. Their hands-on previews delve into the expansive career mode — one of the game’s most touted features — and compare the pre-release builds of both the PC and PS4 versions of the racer.

With the Formula 1 circus officially on summer break after last weekend’s German Grand Prix, Codemasters is taking advantage of the lull period and is showing off a new trailer for this year’s upcoming game, and are announcing a new championship — all with 14 days left on the clock until its release.

This is a special guest post by GTPlanet member Alex (haitch40) who participated in the game’s closed beta period earlier this year.

The fourth and final scheduled race weekend of the month featuring the F1 circus is upon us, and Codemasters are once again taking the opportunity to pair it with an in-game look at their upcoming title. With F1 2016 set to release in three weeks’ time, this will be the final onboard hot lap before the sport’s summer break and the game’s release.

With a little over three weeks until the release of this year’s official game, a selection of hands-on gameplay previews have begun surfacing that show off various features of the upcoming title. Chief among them is the expansive career mode, one of the game’s most touted features and a return to form for the series.

On the weekend of the third of four scheduled races from the F1 circus this month, Codemasters have once again taken the opportunity to provide another in-game look of the upcoming F1 2016 game set to release in less than a month’s time.

This month is going to be packed with four races from the F1 circus. The second of those four feature races, taking place at Silverstone, home to the British Grand Prix, is set to kick off with the qualifying session in an hour’s time.
