gaggle64 Posted September 3, 2010 Author Share Posted September 3, 2010 Here's what I suggest - Each GP weekend we follow the calendar with our own parallel championships, a PS3 and an Xbox. 20 lap races on each circuit with realistic weather settings, or whatever setting most accurately resembles the actual weather faced. Points awarded as per the real F1 system. At the end of the year the winners of each championship go head-to-head via a Time Trail challenge on a randomly selected circuit. Winner takes all (ie. nothing.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goron_3 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Retro is undecided too... And gaggle that's a great idea. I really hope the multiplayer allows you to go through an entire season w/ qualy and practice, that would be epic. And gaggle as a fellow xbox user I hope you're up for frequent races!!

Ramar Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I'm thinking of picking this up, if I do it'll be 360. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retro_Link Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 (edited) Hungary at 23secs?... looks lovely! 1:30 onwards talks a bit about multiplayer. Does he say 8 or 80 laps?... because neither are appropriate! Edited September 4, 2010 by Retro_Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retro_Link Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 I hope so! I want the option to do full race distances online in this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald Emblem Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Fact we can do Quali online just sweetens the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaggle64 Posted September 5, 2010 Author Share Posted September 5, 2010 I believe he said 8 laps, which would make sense as I understand that's about the length the "Grand Prix" online mode will be (a Q3 session followed by an 8 lap race with at least one pit stop, damage, track evolution & tyre wear turned on). You will be able to host your own custom games privately or publicly with whatever sessions you wish, presumably including the full real-life race distance. Personally I think the basic Q3 + 8 laps will be enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Link Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 But with just 8 laps you wouldn't get any chance for the race to evolve... weather to change/things to go wrong... and there's no real reason to pit. Also, I presume that in multiplayer all teams/drivers are equal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I presume that in multiplayer all teams/drivers are equal? Well from what I've understood, the teams are still at the level they actually are, but you get extra xp for outperforming your hardware, say beat a Sauber with a Lotus you'd get some extra xp. The bigger the gap in hardware the more bonus xp you get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDog Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 If it's only 8 laps, that'd suck. It'd be like playing Need for Speed. You should be able to have a proper Grand Prix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicktendo Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 I'd rather Murk a few people to finish 16th in a Hispania than Win in a McLaren or Red Bull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you'll be able to set it so you can choose to either do like 8 laps, half race distance or full distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganepark32 Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 The issue I see with doing a full race distance online is that with the Q3 qualifying on top of it, you could be playing a single setting for around 2 hours, or even more in some cases. That's really not going to be the most enjoyable experience as it'll just drag and attention will drop with players if they're constantly driving the same route for that amount of time. Still undecided on what platform to get this for, if I'm able to get it. Pretty evenly split between the two, so getting some decent N-E championships going would be easy enough. Doesn't really matter which I pick to be honest as it'll be the same game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDog Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Full distance will probably be too much, but 50%. 30ish laps sounds good, under one hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goron_3 Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Yeah a 30 minute race sounds about right to me tbh. On Forza I normally do 8/16 lap races, but then again it's easier to control those cars. Just under 3 weeks left guys!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Link Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Yeah a half race would be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
