F1 game license. Sony? EA? Microsoft?

Announcement was made today on IGN re: F1 2009 the game- won't be coming to Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 or PC, until 2010 - whereas autumn 2009 will see releases on Wii and PSP.

Fully realistic apparently, with Slicks, KERs 2009 rules etc, presumably a lot of races in the wet..

Some nice touches - In the Australia and China races, your monitor gradually darkens as the race progresses, plus there are entertaining side games such as "diffuser protest simulator" "Lewis Hamilton's truth or dare" and "What on earth is Flavio on about". A pair of dice are included to accurately measure out penalties.

At least the push to pass button has found it's spiritual home..

But can you create your own team, give it a daft-sounding name, turn up with no sponsors and two good but not great drivers, and totally dominate the early stages of the season?

The problem with such a strong driver field is there's no enjoyment from dominating the season in a crappy car.

Maybe they'll have a cheat where you can unlock Gaston Mazzacane. Y'know...like they do in Doom 3.

Upon investigation and quiet reflection, F1 2009 on the Wii looks completely balls.

Why do they keep pushing the casual aspect? There's a million road car games that do that.

The same reason we had a light show instead of a GP last weekend - we hardcore fans will never leave and so don't need to be enticed/rewarded for our loyalty.

Or so they think.

As I understood it, the Wi version was never meant to be the finished article.

Supposedly the Windows version is the be all and end all and the Wi version is just being used to iron out the creases.

I haven't played a racing game on a PC since GP4 in 2002.

The PS3 version should be the ultimate, really.

rF has the computer sim market cornered. I wouldn´t expect them to release something that great for the pc because simracers are very used to cutomization and having that ruled out is quite a bummer.

Wii isn't able to run better graphics?

Colin McRae 2 is goddamn old and still looks better than that Confused

It's also hard to justify £50 given modern warfare 2 rocks all the balls in the universe, apparantly.

I got a wii like a year ago and all I've done is play nostalgia games like Goldeneye Confused
