you can't treat us like idiots by saying that you modify the physics etc. with a game that must also run on old consoles there's no way we're not stupid at least you didn't invent the double version which is unlikely... you can't expect us to spend 80eurp for an f1 23 with updated liveries...we are passionate but not stupid the community must react by not buying the game stop
@Nellix82Relax.
We have been given a teaser trailer, nothing that gives clear details. That's quite a heavy reaction to virtually nothing; allow the details to come out, allow news to trickle down, allow the beta to come out to guage the gameplay.
It's admirable being passionate but try to keep a level head especially when all we have is a short teaser
UE4 is not a "new" engine. It was released in 2014 and PS4 in end of 2013.
They are the same age ... so it's not that a "new" engine overstrains the poor old console.
I am not even sure that the switch to UE4 will result in better graphics in F1 24. You see that in WRC: that graphics are not really better than in the old games (to my perception they are even worse). So may be F1 24 is a compromise for the future. Switching engine (and possibly sacrifying graphical improvements for now) allows/forces to rewrite a lot of code form ground up (not only graphics wise - an engine does much, much more), and may be is strategic to be able to do the step to UE5 in F1 25/26 ?
Time will tell.
That's what I guess (and hope), too.
But there are so many rumors and clues that I would not rule it out completety.
At first I was: "New engine, YEAH, new chances for a better game!"
Now I am: "PLEASE keep EGO and just fix those myriad of bugs and other annoyances in this game".
I think the idea came up because they switched to UE4 on WRC. But the reason was simply because EGO could not handle those huge stages in rally anymore.
That reason makes no sense in an F1 game with fixed tracks.
The only reason of using UE4 in F1 24 would be that they plan to switch to UE5 in the future and this is the first iteration. In this case it could make sense to first use UE4 and not go to UE5 directly as they currenlty have the knowledge at hand in form of the guys that code WRC.
Of course: only speculation ....
My guess: they keep EGO
My fear: they use UE4 and mess it up BIG TIME......
For goodness sake people, put your pitchforks down. If you're complaining about a lack of engine switch without any information being released and a lack of the promise of previous bugs being fixed in a 34 seconds trailer, your expectations are too high.
You can presume as much you want but it's all moot until solid features and details are released by EA/CM.
I understand it's your hard earned money being spent in the long term but currently, nobody is forcing you to pre-order, you are not contracted to buy this because you have purchased a previous version, you have spent no money yet. There is very little point claiming that the developers are making you out to be stupid. Maybe it's better not to expect anything to begin with, then your disappointment will be miniscule.
Better graphics is a long way from to top of my personal priority list for how the game could be improved...
