The best and worst F1 games ever

Ойындар

Formula 1 racing games have been around for decades, and even in the early 2000s it was possible for multiple developers to get a licence to make a game, rather than the exclusive deals we have become familiar more recently. More competition among F1 games could be a good and a bad thing though, as Nathan Quinn explores with a trip back to visit the best and worst F1 games that have ever been produced.

    But technically speaking it didn't have an F1 license, first and foremost because FOM doesn't hold such rights for that era. It's the same reason why you can see multiple cars from the same classic season in some games that aren't connected to F1 at all.

    @@Mandarin9900 I've heard that, but GPL is in fact a licensed game. The developers just didn't have the convenience to buy the license for a complete season from one source. (from Wikipedia: Licensing could also be difficult. Papyrus co-founder Dave Kaemmer commented, "It's not a pleasant thing to call someone on the phone and say that you want to license their dead son's name, but people have been very helpful.") I guess the creators of this video simply only thought of modern era F1 games, otherwise they would have explained why they left GPL out or at least included it as an honorary mention. After all, it's one of the most important racing games (not only speaking about F1). It was actually recommended to us by my driving dynamics professor at a time when sim racing wasn't as common and taken seriously as it is today 😉.

    Thank you for this video. Really great to see GP4 on the list of best games. I was one of the developers in a small team at Microprose who developed both GP3 and GP4. Myself and a colleague wrote the entire graphics engine for GP4 using C++ and directx. Geoff looked after the physics (using assembler) and we interfaced the graphics engine with the backend physics. We also developed an XBOX version of GP4 but was never released (it was close to completion). So pleased that people still like it and that it has great support in the mod community. Thank you

    As a former modder on the GP4 scene, let me tell you how awesome the game was and still is to this day. I used to mod sounds and steering wheels. Even though both techniques were radically different, once you're used to them everything flows. Although my most recent work is from almost 6 years ago (I had to stop when my graphics card blew), you can catch a glimpse of how good GP4 felt and looked at that time by looking at my videos.

    The F-1 World Grand Prix games on the N64 were really solid for the time, and were the first to introduce scenario modes based on the 1997 and ' 98 seasons. The late 90's and early 2000's were an awesome time for F1 games because multiple studios had the license to make official games, and you got so much variety. I'll happily take the odd bad game in exchange for risk and innovation, which it's taken far too long for Codemasters to do, due to the fact that they don't have much in the way of competition. F1 Arcade for the PS1 is probably the weirdest F1 game, if not the worst. Think F1 race stars by way of Sega Rally, with crazy power ups and a time limit you have to keep extending.

  • @simonbrunner3062

    There's two that I miss on the top 5 list: - Grand Prix Legends. For years it was simply the most advanced simulation out there. Besides the amazing physics model, its premise and track selection was unique. Racing on the original 14 km layout of Spa-Francorchamps is just something else, and until the modern era of mods and DLC you could do that exclusively in this game. The fact that it came out in the same year as the two most awful looking entries in the video is just astonishing. - Grand Prix 2. While GP4 is objectively the best edition of the Geoff Crammond series, I would rank GP2 higher in terms of being ahead of its time. It came out in 1995 and both its damage model and its driver AI put every Codemasters F1 game to shame. And although there is no career mode, the immersion aspect is pretty impressive for 1995 as well: You could do full race weekends with every single practice session including Sunday warm-up, you had full control over your pit stop strategy and could adapt it during the race to your actual fuel consumption and tyre wear, you could do all kinds of setup work and the car would react to it. And all driver and team names were customisable, which is a nice feature I missed in many of the later F1 games.

    Nailed the best list. Had all these, and didn't have one of the ones on the worst list, thankfully. I can only imagine what a Geoff Crammond F1 game would look like today. Played GP1 when I was 6, and there started my 30+ year addiction with F1 games. F1 2020 is the best, though. It's everything I've ever wanted in an F1 game since GP1, but there are still things that you could do in GP1, that you still cannot do in any other non-Geoff Crammond F1 game since, like, take control of both drivers throughout the course of a race. This would work incredibly well on F1 2020 My Team, if it were a thing. Drive the first half of the race with one driver, then swap mid-race and take control of the second driver, and for more than one stint (if you want to). That used to be so much fun. Great video! :)

Unlike it's prequel "Monaco somethingorother" it was fully licensed, and the handling model was similar to PS1's F1 '97, meaning you could bin it at any moment if you lost concentration. The World Grand Prix series was much more fondly remembered by N64 players (I loved those too!) but this game was far more realistic, and for a console playing kid in the 90s it felt like almost a sim of sorts! I still boot it up every now and then for a few laps! Anyone else remember that?

    What a lot of people might not know about, is that F1 Challenge 99-02 has a lot of pretty awesome stuff hidden in the game files. For example, you can have formation and slow down laps, unlock the camera at pitstops, add more screens to the LCD on the wheel, add driver tags, even have that 2x15 minute period of going out to the grid, and probably many more. These were probably cut from the in-game menus because they didn't get finished in time, but the only issue I've seen is the AI unable to handle the swimming pool section on the formation lap, which can get very frustrating

    I have a soft spot for F1 2009 (the Wii version) as it was the first F1 game I played, having been introduced to it by one of my school friends and then got it at home for Christmas if I remember right. With the wheel it's a lot of fun to play, even though as I gained more experience with it over the years the ai became too easy to beat even on hard difficulty! For instance, at Monaco the fastest lap they'd set would be in the 1:19 bracket, while I'd end up lapping it in the 1:13 range! That and also at Monaco the ai would keep damaging their cars, so during a 25% distance race where you'd normally do one or two stops they'd end up having 4 or 5 trips through the pits while I kept my nose clean and stuck to the strategy (I preferred to do two stops; less pressure on the tyres). So I'd sometimes end up lapping the entire field at least once! Hot lapping the circuits in Time Trial was fun and the scenarios were a nice diversion from the normal racing as well (and some of them were genuinely challenging e.g. two laps to defend a lead at Spa; the ai are on full wets or inters, but you're still on slicks). So all in all I'm probably biased, but I don't think F1 2009 is as bad as people make it out to be.
