As an interesting aside, going back to the 360 and playing F1 for this review also revealed to me how unsubstantial the force feedback in the Xbox OneвЂ™s controller triggers really is. A review copy of F1 2014 for PlayStation 3 was provided by the Codemasters PR team and is released on the 17th October for PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

While F1 performs its own assessment of your skill the first time you get behind the wheel and recommends a difficulty setting, there are plenty of assists to customize your racing experience. The almost surreal sensation of speed and twitchiness of these cars is immediately apparent and even on lower difficulty levels this isnвЂ™t sacrificed. This isnвЂ™t necessarily relevant to any review score I assign here but an interesting fact nonetheless.ДЄfter playing a lot of Forza Horizon 2 recently, returning to a game like F1 is almost like a slap in the face. New circuits this year include Sochi, Russia and a return to Austria and the expanded and renamed Red Bull Ring. F1 2013 was an attractive game that looked lovely from some angles and just okay from others, but itвЂ™s safe to say that 2014 is pushing PS3вЂ™s dated internals to their utter extreme. The development team needs the time to integrate all these new things into the game, including any new circuits. This is due to the fact that teams, liveries and cars arenвЂ™t introduced until sometimes weeks before the new season begins. Different than most every other annual sports game, F1 releases at the end of its season rather than at the beginning when one might expect to take advantage of bigger sales.
