F123 new article

@TotosHeadphonesCan't think of a single instance where a "boost" feature would make my experience more enjoyable in these games.
Like, boost what? Pit stops? Repair time? Setup changes? ERS regen? Top speed? "R&D" progress? Driver development? My buffet and catering services' budget? My fictional employees' wages?

For real, spent 2min typing this trying to come up with a "hey, that'd be nice indeed" scenario.

I do have a strong impression of what "boost" usually means in modern videogames though 🥲

Nah, I'm signing off for today. It is not paying off putting this much thought over rumors and I am not one to voluntarily beat myself with a stick. I always ask @ScarDuck14 for that.

Theres a lot of stuff going down the wrong way in this article, what irritates me the most is the "winning races" to improve car performance.. This whole upgrading system sounds a huge lot like Need for Speed to me which really isnt what the game should be going for the only hope i have is them talking about "this mode" so maybe its just a new mode?

Even getting strategists and sponsors etc. will probably just be the same mobile game level of depth - reach level A to upgrade to strategist X - not really hyped about that and salvaging parts you dont need for something extra sounds so not F1..

For those scared of the boost id say its nothing directly related to the driving but more like boost your career/team progress so people who want to spend the money will get faster upgrades or such.. Maybe it will just be a F1 ultimate car boost though lol

@mariohomohAs somebody who spent a few years dedicating my life to Warframe, boosts were only useful when trying to beat RNGesus Loot boxes.

I'll now be the half empty guy.

Boost sounds like something RFactor2

uses.....they had 3 boost they could use in an hour race.

Just thinking outloud

Both off you stop being so childish and XP eachother 😝

@BadMayh3mthere's also the push-to-pass system on Indy wherein a driver gets a pre-allotted usage time per race to spool their turbo faster or something. We already have DRS on F1, not really keen on any new gimmicks to in-track performance 😂

I don't see a feature like that – or any other of those I mentioned in that silly exercise – making its way to the game. But as I said, can't really think of any sort of "boost" that would feel like a nice addition to the game, even among the possible out of track implementations I noted.

Edit: @TotosHeadphones you were supposed to cheer us up 😭

I know there isn’t much detail at this stage but if it does have an online mode, would it matchmake you with similar cars or just ramdon as that would put me off
