No gameplay in a game trailer = Trailer Failure.
What are we being teased with ? An intro ? Brilliant. Just what I buy the game for.

Delays are generally a sign of things being crap. Evidence: Daikatana.

Yeah, and a game with a yearly (or almost) release is a sign of top notch quality. Evidence: NFS.

I was a bit skeptical about this, and to some degree I still am, but the fact that it’s being delayed is, possibly, a sign that they’re actually going to do at least a reasonable sim. I had a hard time believing that you could get a *quality* simulator out the door that fast. A longer dev cycle gives reason for hope.

wow this is an mod for F1 2002 or something !?! I know the WII and PSP are less powerful but this graphics just look alike F1 2002 or F1Challenge mod.

Siggs: ^Wil, rfactor doesnt have poor tracks, in most cases it has the best. .

Despite not liking rFactor, I've got to give you that. It does have some stunning tracks. As for Codemasters... They've always been a pathetic joke, all the way back to their pitiful Dizzy games.

Wil: Why not make some bucks with 2009 season witch they got until now and develop this full blown mega 2010 further?

Probably because they don't want to waste such an important license with a rushed release, which would be "just another F1 game". In order to realize what they're aiming for, I suppose that the game engine needs something more than just a few changes here and there.

I’m getting the Wii version in the hopes that it will have the infamous blue shell.

I dont really got it. Grid already has a hell of good graphics engine: prety and fast, HDR, etc..

Grid´s engine just need some tweaked physics and dynamic weather to get the job done.
At my best estimate CTDP will take at least 2 or 3 years for their 2009 mod considering the state of art established with CTDP 2006.

And we still have to deal with the lack of weather and terrible AI and poor tracks from rFactor…

Sad, so sad…

I knew there would be a fair few people putting this down

Fact is, it’ll still be a good game im sure, not quite as realistic/large scale, but that’s not a problem for me, knowing the ‘works’ edition will be coming soon enough.

Also, there are some surprisingly realistic games on the psp, I can imagine most of the people complaining don’t own one. Juiced on psp has some compotent, and not too arcadey physics, and if you want the real deal, try SBK2008. It’s really very sim-like for a hadheld, its great.

The graphics aren’t the best I’ve seen from the psp (I assume those are psp shots, because of the resolution), but they’re compotent. The real shame will be the bad cockpit view, if there is one.

“seriously watered down” is a bit of an exxageration. I’m optimistic

F1Racer:
So whats with F1-2010 ? Is it called that because its being released in 2010 (which would be stupid) or because it will feature cars from the 2010 season ?

OFFICIAL FAQ
1: What formats will you be releasing the F1 Game on?
Wii/PSP – Autumn 2009
PC/PS3/Xbox360 – Mid 2010

2: Around what F1 season will the games be based?
Wii/PSP – Based on 2009
PC/PS3/Xbox360 – Based on 2010

3: When will the game be out?
See point 1 above
http://community.codemasters.com/forum/showthread.php?t=340638

For me, this is a great news: instead of rushing the game and release an unfinished product, they’re taking all they time they need in order to deliver the best experience they can.
Yes, I hoped to see HD versions in 2009, but if this meant a buggy game with less features than expected, well… way to go, F1 2010!
