IMO the game F1 alone is worth the 1.2 Billion dollars to EA. Formula One IMO is a Universal type game that potentially could appeal and be acceptable to a wide range of ages, countries. With Cross-play, new HDTV tech such as The Wall TV, pin point audio being developed, the game may become a Worldwide Electronic Gaming Sport.
Not sure if you are aware there is already a F1 ESports.
No I wasn't aware (I'm am old fart) F1 esports is already up and running. Did a search and guess what Software they are using?
So EA probably sees the potential of F1 by Codemasters.
Purchased F1 2020, this is a racing game for serious drivers. Doesn't have the fun factor of Heat but you'll need to learn how to drive better and race according to F1 Rules. I'm not very good at it yet but at least I am able to finish a race. Biggest challenge is learning to drive in a crowd of cars, because crashing will get you disqualified from the race.
Works on my PC but I had to lower Frame rate to 60 fps. Need to upgrade graphics card but that is out of my price range at the moment. Graphics are excellent on 4k TV, but to optimize performance I believe you need a 4k graphics card which is expensive.
