F1 2010 – Developer Diary Q&A Answers

Following the second F1 2010 developer diary video, Codemasters has given it’s forum members the chance to submit questions for the title’s development team.

Now, the answers have been posted, revealing some interesting details such as a sneak-peak of the radio communication with the race engineer, setups in online mode, wet-weather physics and more.

Perhaps most interestingly, Codemasters also comments on the color balance issue that has been a point of criticism for most of you:

Are you still thinking about changing the colour balance, it seems this is the only thing people are really negative about.

One of the last things that we do is ???fine tune??? the way that the post and the lighting work together. This is something that is still very much ???live??? and doesn???t really start until after Alpha. We???ve certainly toyed with different effects; because of the relatively contracted production time and resourcing a lot of this growing up has been aired in public. That???s a good thing though because it???s allowed us to gauge the sentiments of both the hardcore F1 fan and the broader audience we???re hoping F2010 will attract. As we close out the project we???ll now be able to combine that feedback with the vision we have for the game backed by the experiences learnt on Dirt2 and Grid before it. The Art Director has been passed all the feedback on the forum so far and will take this onboard during this final phase of the games development.

Following their maiden Formula One title that was released only for the Playstation Portable and the Nintendo Wii, Codemasters will be bringing the 2010 Formula One season to the PC, the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3. F1 2010 has been confirmed to be released in September 2010.
