    @Nellix82 dear friend, relax a bit and try to think straight. I agree with you, I understand the anger and frustration in seeing the graphics engine that has now had its day, continue to move forward. I want to make you reflect on a very simple thing: switching to a new graphics engine does not automatically mean a huge improvement. Just look at how many problems WRC is having with Unreal engine and I want to reiterate that it is a game only for the new consoles. New consoles that are clearly better than the old ones but that struggle to cope with particular graphics engines, difficult to use and fine-tune and very poorly optimized. In addition to this, it doesn't seem like a much more graphically beautiful game to me than the f1 games, despite the old consoles having been eliminated and it running on unreal engine. This shows that old consoles don't limit anything, it always depends on the developer what he intends to do, you can go even further and there are many obvious examples. Red dead redemption 2 runs on ps4 and xbox one, but after 6 years I have not yet seen games with similar quality, despite the fact that we have made great progress with the hardware, especially on the GPU side. Object physics never seen in any other title, we can say the same about the last of us part 2. The message I want to get across is that old consoles are not the cause of problems or lack of innovation, because it is precisely the whole video game sector not to propose innovations. And trust me when I say that f1 24 can really improve a lot even with the old consoles, when it comes to physics and much more. The ego engine is a well-proven, lightweight and easy to use engine. Throwing ourselves into another engine would double the bugs that already exist, further worsening the situation. My advice is to wait for some more information and see some gameplay to draw conclusions and judge Codemasters|Ea's work. Take care friend!

    @mikyesposto1 I'm also very curious, not because of the engine problem but to understand if you offer me the same game with the slight modification of the physics as they have been doing for years or if they surprise me, April is almost here

    @Nellix82 that’s odd I could have sworn today was March 1st, April doesn’t seem that close imo.

    Also your imposing your own personal expectations onto codemasters as they never said there would be an info drop/ reveal on April 1st, they just said stay tuned for more info in April. That could mean April 30th, which is basically 1/6th of a year from now.

    given that the infographic encouraging people to preorder the game says to preorder the game by April 24th my guess would be the info drop happens on the 25th cause they want to get peoples preorder locked in before they can be disappointed by the reveal on the 25th lol.

    @TheRagebeard given the lack of trust even in most of the videos I've seen, if I were them I would release some information much sooner then if they have had a positive response in the pre-sales then we will wait....

    @Nellix82 You absolutely right, more information sooner, is better, especially when we are discussing a company like Codemasters/ EA with a shaky history. I'm just merely pointing out the fact that your making commitments for them on their behalf that they never agreed to. Don't be disappointed when April 1st comes and goes and the crickets are chirping.

    I think the earliest we get any more information is April 17th and that's if they decide they want to do one final big push a week before the pre-order cutoff on the 24th, otherwise it'll be the 25th, or later, as I alluded to earlier.

    @Nellix82 I'm sorry, did I miss something, as far as I'm aware there's no published date for when were getting more information. I tried to be nice and give you credit for where credit was due. Regardless I'm doing a poor job of following my own advice and letting the fire burn out on this repetitive thread, so I'll be moving on now.

    Hey there,

    I've seen this thread derailing enough so I am closing it. I also had to moderate some messages that I didn't appreciate on our boards. Remember, AHQ is for players helping players and engaging with players. We are not going to tolerate baiting, trolling or general rudeness.
