We're not stupid
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 ...

@Nellix82 Relax.
Yes Is possible to do it, if they have the tech. Believe me they do have tech. I know the talent in that team, and they could have very well done it.
I know nothing (believe me this makes me go crazy 🤣) but the know how that they have which started with F1 23 is huge, so I have high hopes, and genuinely can't wait to try it!

- @DavidGG53 Love you, sweetie 💖
I'll bring requeijão and pao de queijo next time I'm around.
On topic: the number of people that simply conflate "game engine" and "video game graphics" is staggering.
A game engine goes way beyond just visuals.
Even general, catch-all engines like Unreal and Unity, with all their modularity, still cater to a certain gameplay style and will not necessarily offer advantages over a (good) dedicated engine.
It's common for devs to fork their engine to get their code and toolset up and running, and once that is done a subsequent update to the general engine may not be that easy to merge.
To keep with UE, ACC is made on it and though I adore that game, there's still a certain wonkiness to the way cars move when looked from the outside. Plus it's a headache to set up on VR - for more than one reason. Even the portability to consoles is notoriously troublesome, with versions prior to 1.9 usually taking months and months to hit PS5 and XSX. It is widely known that, despite all the accrued knowledge over years of ACC support on UE4, Kunos chose to build ACC2 on a proprietary engine again.
iRacing as well. Their development is well documented over the years and you'll often find devs mentioning how extensive their code is made as to intertwine network capabilities into their engine. From the way they render frames and load assets, it's all custom to their intended gameplay.
This is not throwing shade on general engines like UE, obviously. ACC is a statement that good racing games with rich physics and gameplay can be done. But it ain't a coincidence that many titles look and feel similar since UE and Unity became so ubiquitous. - @DavidGG53 if I remember correctly, in an interview you said that it was complex to bring a dynamic weather forecast or a rubberized track and other small things especially on oldgen......if you fix the physics I'm fine with it but in the end if you don't you can't even call the rest a new game and charge 80 euros for it....not to mention the omnipresent bugs, I could make an absurd list, especially for the increasingly neglected online game....if they make 2 versions I'll be the first to compliment only fools not they change their minds but it's been 10 years of the same sentences, words, etc. at every launch, don't you think we're rightly fed up?
- @Nellix82 I said it was complex, not impossible. Also, dynamic weather system and rubberised track is technically not handling. I see no hint in their release video about all that, nor I see it in their steam page. They explicitly talk about handling.
There are/were many things to improve in the handling before even starting thinking about weather system or anything that contours the handling.
They could have done it already, but I have no idea.
Also, having been in that team for 9 years, no I don't think anyone can be rightfully fed up. I've seen yes bad decision at times, but I have also seen a continuous improvement on many things. People don't know how hard it is to make yearly release game and on top of that, a sports one.- @DavidGG53 We players don't ask that we release the game every year, forcing people to copy and paste.....if you just manage it differently and distance yourself from what the real F1 is then you can't charge an updated game at the same price. if it was new you do half for an update....instead you codemaster propose the same game as if it were new. but new of what? where are the formula 1 things if everything is a preset? in my opinion they have to sit down and say where shall we start? from what is missing, not from what he knows how to fix.....I appreciate that they make an effort to deal with everything but you declare new things when it isn't new, it's just tweaks....I'm not confident nor am I disappointed, I'll see the reviews of those who it's not the goal of pimps and I will decide but currently 40 drivers in our championship we don't buy it stop.
- @DavidGG53 Ciao Bello 😍😁
