they announced a demo? last year the demo saved me cause i was able to try it with the wheel and verify it was unplayable.
However it's incredibile how bad wheels are supported, except for gran turismo, wheel setting is always a pain in the ass... so bored.
thanks

I play it with a DFGT just fine... best PS3 F1 game to date IMO.

good for you, maybe the game is different from the demo cause we are a group of friends with 3 different logitechs and nobody can set the wheel to work properly, doesn't brake and doesn't turn, with an insane amount of understeer. i asked on codemaster forum and there were many members with the same problem. everybody asking for help, i kept f1 2011 which works fine like all other games and that's a pity. However i think i'll wait for ps4 f1, enjoying wrc 4 e gt6.

The understeer "issue" was a typical gripe with the game. You either got used to this or you didn't. As far as I know, it was Codemaster's attempt to highlight the difference in aerodynamic grip, i.e. the loss of aero grip at slower speeds. I never had an issue with it. The game was nothing like the demo and it's strange this is still a point of comparison.

The game has the best PS3 wheel tuning of any PS3 game I've played, especially after the update. You could actually set the car to have a realistic steering ratio. Unfortunately, you needed to learn Codemasters formula for translating the in-game scale to steering lock in degrees. T500RS was the only wheel I ever used.

i've read about the patches in codemaster forum ( and the formula) personally i tried just the demo and i found it to be unplayable. i'm not an hardcore player but i can enjoy games like rfactor, richard burns etc but a wasn't able to steer the car in f1 2012 so a skept the game. Thanks for the answer however.

I remember I had to ask for help here because of the major understeer issue for 2012. I then read a bunch of steering wheel info and tried multiple setups. After that, I was good to go. No more under steering like you're driving a car with power steering fluid leaking.

I still find the idea of censoring tobacco logos (and alcohol ones for that matter) in games just completely stupid and nonsensical. Exactly what sort of harm is there in having them present? That to this day is one of the great mysteries I have yet to figure out.

Eutechnyx claimed they tried to get the beer logos in their Nascar game but the beer companies wouldn't give them the license to do so. So I guess it's probably the same with Codemasters. Mystery solved.
 
Sorry if this has been posted earlier but it looks like PS Plus members can buy/pre order F1 2013 regular/Classic Editions for a discount on the PSN Store.
 
So I look around, but I can't seem to find a PS3 copy of F1 2013 for pre-order. Is it Only available for purchase on PSN?
 
Just saw the trailer and loved it:tup:. Only thing I hate so far is this part:

The Ferrari 312 T2 is available to all players of F1 2013 who are registered to RaceNet, and the game itself is out for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 on October 4

So I basically have to be signed on to this whatever the hell thing (which wouldn't work for me last I tried it) Just for one car :ouch:
 
Well no one on the Codemasters forums is :P. The constant whining and complaining about this not being in and that not being in is just silly now. I have stopped going on the forums now because its ruining my anticipation for the game.

So for me its a positives list!

- Classic cars!
- More classic cars!
- Race the classic cars on any track!
- Race modern F1 cars on Brands Hatch!
- Murray Walker!
- Better lighting system
- Improved Safety Car frequency
- Grand Prix mode back!
- Improved young driver test!
- New Singapore turn 10!
- Imola!
- Some cool little effects I have noticed in videos, sparks and dust being flicked up by cars in front on big bumps, noticed this particularly on Monaco. The front wing flex looks more pronounced on big bumps and kerbs. The movements of the driver look more real, noticed the helmet bouncing and moving more and even looking left and right in the mirrors and moving up and down under braking as per G forces.
- Improved wing mirrors. You can even see the rear wing in the mirrors now.
- Its F1 baby!

:)

EDIT: Achievement list.

So Season Challenge is definitely in, presumably in the same format as before. Scenarios sound new? Could perhaps be like the Champions Challenge in 2012 but with new challenges? Interesting stuff.
 
I wonder which console version will have a better frame rate? So far, based on internet reviews and forum posts, XBOX seems to have the upper hand in that department since the 2011 and 2012 releases.

I'm not sure anyone caught this, but over on the CM forums they posted the supported wheel lists for all platforms and they list the Fanatec CSW. I wonder if this is native support or do they just mention it since it emulates a G27 at the press of a button. Very interesting to find out :)
