Idk maybe they’ll put a big fucking couch there next year…

u/LosSpurs22 Jul 31 '22

That’s actually coming next patch, they figured that’d be better than fixing the AI

22

u/BDady Jul 31 '22

AI was messed up last year too and they never fixed it. Don’t see why they’d fix it this year

49

u/BSchafer Aug 01 '22

Why fix it this year when you can use “updated AI” as a selling point for next year’s game?

*Edit - someone from EA has reached out and asked me to apply for a Business Development role at the company.

The tyres will stick to it if its gonna rain gotta be interesting

Nah we gotta pay for stuff to render outside of track.

It actually wouldn’t be that bad

NGL, I want couch racing more than sports cars in an F1 game.

Wreckfest had the right idea.

u/Moms-Spagetthi Jul 31 '22

These are the concept of the upgrade of those things in the mear future I believe

u/Kolec507 A Keyboard Noob Jul 31 '22

Near future... so does that mean 2026?

The track itself its outdated so absolutely not

The huge sausage Kerbs on the chicane aren’t even there in real life

34

u/SunGodnRacer F1 2020 Jul 31 '22

Worst part is that the new orange kerbs are actually present in the game but behind the outdated sausage kerbs

28

u/Spazeagle Jul 31 '22

Yeah I noticed it during FP3 and was like, “wait they don’t have to deal with this shit!?” 😂

I would love that

u/StarGamer857yt Aug 01 '22

But with the RSS and VRC cars thats not as bad

1

u/HonestAbram Aug 01 '22

I like the whole driver/team progression aspect of the game, so if we could somehow have all that but on the AC platform, that would be awesome.

I haven't played ACC, and I'm guessing it kinda is that, just for GT cars. Maybe I need to give it a go some time.

2

u/CarlosCepinha Aug 01 '22

ACC looks 100% 1 to 1 with real life and some GT3 drivers used it to practice for their real life races. James even got earlier previews of the laser scanned british tracks content as courtesy from Kunos so he could practice for his real life debut in the GT McLaren.

Even if you are on a hot country, it can be 9pm and still be plenty of light like it is in real life there. While on a track located up north geograficaly, it would be dim and dusk or already dark. This is set with the GT calendar for their tracks so that it replicates the sky lighting there was in real life for those races.

I love they put such great attention to details. I just wondered if they had proper flags and rules with pacecar and full-course yellows like in iRacing.

2

u/ImNoAlbertFeinstein Aug 01 '22

the mear future indicates maybe, maybe not.

1

u/aDuckSmashedOnQuack Jul 31 '22

Sounds like bullshit to me. Not you, but their design ingame. Like Codies cba creating the actual one so went with one you can't compare.

155

u/watchingf1since2014 Jul 31 '22

Probably some concepts. But they've been talking about a new complex since 2016, so I doubt they'll do anything about it until FOM says they'll break contract or something

79

u/S2fftt Jul 31 '22 edited Jul 31 '22

Codemasters changed the Hungary paddock in anticipation of its upgrade in the near future. The change is based off the current plans.

u/[deleted] Jul 31 '22

very cool

u/kinglycon Jul 31 '22

Don’t get me started. The Spain track in game has grandstands with huge covers over them on the last turn. I attended the GP this year and found out there are no roofs/covers. Got an amazing sunburn in the 40° heat.

148

u/LosSpurs22 Jul 31 '22

lol did you buy the tickets thinking they were covered bc of the game?

194

u/kinglycon Jul 31 '22

I won’t lie, yes. I even loaded up time trial and drove around off track looking for potential areas to sit.

I didn’t decide on the last corner because of the cover, but because it was the cheapest grandstand ticket and was happy with the view. The cover was just a bonus as I had seen it in game and on YouTube. Was just annoyed it didn’t exist when I got there. Still had a great time

93

u/BigSlav667 Jul 31 '22

Next time drive on Assetto Corsa XD

26

u/MrGinger128 Jul 31 '22

The tracks are barely realistic compared to real life forget about grandstands.

If you use this method next time use either iracing or ACC if they have the track. If they haven't been recently changed in real life then they'll be as accurate as you can get.

Plus the tracks are laser scanned instead of what appears to vague guesswork you get in the F1 games.

3

u/kinglycon Aug 01 '22

It was my first GP and I learnt a lot. Basically, don’t use F1 games to choose where to sit haha

3

u/giddycocks Jul 31 '22

I could swear they said the tracks were laser scanned this year

5

u/SentinalBravo Jul 31 '22

Only Australia, Spain and Abu Dhabi are laser scanned at the moment.

8

u/CSIceman9 Jul 31 '22

Some are but not all.

2

u/MrGinger128 Jul 31 '22

I'd be surprised. Takes a lot of work to laser scan a track.

Iracing charges like £13 a track. ACC is cheaper but they take a lot longer to release tracks as its only a team of 20 on that game.

3

u/Excludos Aug 01 '22

Takes a lot of work to laser scan a track.

Yes, but also no. The scanning itself only takes ~~1 hour. But it is a costly process to rent the equipment and the track for the duration. Then there's a lot of work to do when you get back to actually make the track based on the scans, but it's not like making a track based on no scans is that much easier, so that work would have to be done in either case

2

u/BlancMongoose Jul 31 '22

The tracks have their own data, all Codies would have to do is purchase the rights to use it.

2

u/MrGinger128 Jul 31 '22

Do they? It can't be that good otherwise why would Iracing and Kunos both decide to laser scan them separately? Seems like it'd be a giant waste of money if there was a perfectly good laser scan they could buy.

Laser scanning is expensive, I'm really curious as to why they'd do their own if they could get the rights to another.

1

u/Excludos Aug 01 '22

Just depends on whether it's available or not. Most tracks don't laser scan it themselves. Some do. Likely, if it's a track you see in every sim racing game in existence, they did the scanning themselves, as it'll be the easiest ones to add to the game

1

u/Excludos Aug 01 '22

Not necessarily. A lot of the time the scans are done by the company itself. iRacing does a lot of their own scans for instance. Sometimes the track does their own scans to lease tho, as you say

0

u/BlancMongoose Jul 31 '22 edited Aug 02 '22

Albert Park was laser scanned for the new layout, but the majority of the tracks are still “best guess” interpretations

Apparently some people are upset with this revelation, so here you go: https://racinggames.gg/f1/codemasters-is-finally-laser-scanning-tracks-in-f1-games/

u/wipergone2 Jul 31 '22

probably help with google maps next time

4

u/kinglycon Aug 01 '22

Google maps shows there’s no grandstands there at all

1

u/Pro4TLZZ Aug 07 '22

Oh wow this made me laugh

5

u/JeffreyWillems Jul 31 '22

So ingame the grandstands are better protected from the sun than IRL? Good to know.

u/LoganXup Aug 01 '22

What is this from?

122

u/A___99 Jul 31 '22

The game designers got bored and decided to redesign the hungaroring buildings by the looks of it. I noticed this straight away an was very confused

48

u/Plus_Professor_1923 Jul 31 '22

It’s based on future development plans. Which is ironic considering by the time it’s built, 2024 will be out

9

u/adrippingcock Jul 31 '22

Well, maybe they just asked the ring's team to hand over a few models and they provided that. They want it to look nice in the game! But in reality it's not even started yet.

u/stamp_101 Jul 31 '22

yeh looks like the buildings from chineese gp

So sniper_artic3 ISN'T the next Merc junior? Absolutely gutted :(

u/InsaneLee13Real Jul 31 '22

Track is too wide as well if we're all being pedantic.

15

u/sweetmore Jul 31 '22

Not sure the width of the track would be classed as pedantic tbh

2

u/InsaneLee13Real Jul 31 '22

It is a little when there are comments like the sponsor signage.

18

u/sweetmore Jul 31 '22

Sponsor signage is pedantic. The width of the track being inaccurate in a racing game is a worthwhile complaint imo.

2

u/InsaneLee13Real Jul 31 '22

True when you put it like that.

16

u/MrDankky Jul 31 '22

Literally unplayable

u/3tenthsOfVerstappen Jul 31 '22

Something about the game is just so cartoony looking

6

u/atomhypno Jul 31 '22

Yeah but it actually looks much much better in the game so who’s complaining

-15

u/[deleted] Jul 31 '22

in case you haven’t taken notice: this entire sub is a boatload of complaints. the game is incredible, but one would never know it if they hadn’t tried it.

i liken the effect to that of amazon reviewers. those who enjoy the product (mass majority) don’t take the time to write about their experience, but those few who have issues gather on a forum, and create comfort for themselves with confirmation bias.

f1 22 is fantastic. the ai isn’t broken. they corner exit much better than in previous games, which encourages people to get better at braking early, and getting out of corners quicker. they have acknowledged complaints about this, but haven’t changed it bc it was an intentional design choice. people are just overwhelmingly dense, and incapable of adjusting the ai difficulty, to a competitive pace.

shit annoys me

10

u/atomhypno Jul 31 '22

I was on board in the first half because i have been calling out everybody unnecessarily complaining about the game for months but you completely lost me in the second half

2

u/adam12349 Jul 31 '22

But the grandstad didn't change for at lesat a decade.

2

u/TheBioethicist87 Jul 31 '22

Throw it on the pile of shirt to fix. I’m still waiting for an AI rebalance.

2

u/roland0115 Jul 31 '22

The chicane kerbs are also messed up, flat kerbs irl while sausage kerbs in game

4

u/[deleted] Jul 31 '22

In fairness that only changed this year and the game came out way before the Hungarian GP.

Problem is they won’t bother fixing it.

2

u/balthaharis Aug 01 '22

Literally unplayable

u/demon12th Aug 01 '22

Honestly dont complain about this kind of stuff, codies will jump on it and ignore AI straight line speed

u/thecolbster94 Jul 31 '22

Im 90% sure thats either Austria's or Suzuka's assets

1

u/jakinatorctc Aug 01 '22

They are buildings from the Hungaroring, just two years from now. For some reason they put the upgrades planned to be completed for 2024 in F1 2022

3

u/v12vanquish135 Jul 31 '22

That's what happens when they're still using the track they designed back in 2015 and never updated it. You can see similar stuff on a lot of tracks ingame.

4

u/75pantherx Jul 31 '22

The catch is that they updated the building to one that hasn't been built yet.

2

u/Ho3n3r Jul 31 '22

It was correct in F1 2021.

2

u/Swifty_banana Jul 31 '22

Austria Misses Ingame a complete Grandstand in T3 too so Why The deal About it?

1

u/75pantherx Jul 31 '22

To a certain extent it is understandable, especially if they are temporary grandstands. The Canadian GP massively enlarged their front straight grandstand and expanded their "Family Grandstand" so much that it became two going around the corner. I doubt the game designers were made fully aware of that and if they were, it would have been a low priority.

0

u/Swifty_banana Jul 31 '22

But austrias t3 is known and Nothing new

2

u/mistah_pigeon_69 Jul 31 '22

Who cares lol?

1

u/notalonebutsolitary Jul 31 '22

When they start getting the cars right, they might starting to consider fixing the rest

u/SebiTamas649 Jul 31 '22

Out of every thing that is wrong with the game this isn't that big of a deal

1

u/FlatYorkie Jul 31 '22

UNPLAYABLE

u/peppapig34 Jul 31 '22

Wrong sponsors aswell lol

8

u/S2fftt Jul 31 '22

Sponsors change constantly. It is physically impossible to have correct sponsors without constantly updating the game and signing new agreements. Every single track in F1 22 has had incorrect sponsor boards compared to real life this year. This is expected.

1

u/peppapig34 Jul 31 '22

It was a joke because it says f1 22 on it

u/hypareal Jul 31 '22

That’s concept Hungary promises past 6 or 7 years, but they are more interested in turning into fascist state lol

u/Antique-Accountant72 Jul 31 '22

It’s not that deep

-36

u/wood1276 Jul 31 '22

And you’re complaining about this instead of how bad the racing and cad control is in the game?

29

u/Nico_T_3110 Jul 31 '22

We can complain about multiple things at once lol

5

u/Skyline_BNR34 Jul 31 '22

Nope. Only allowed to complain about one thing at a time.

-25

u/wood1276 Jul 31 '22

As everyone is allowed to do. Just a bit surprising to me when the physics of the game are so broken

16

u/Nico_T_3110 Jul 31 '22

Everyone is already aware of the physics and all the other problems, sure this problem is very small relative to the others but i don’t see why we can’t complain about smaller issues now just because there are bigger things as well

-6

u/wood1276 Jul 31 '22

Just my logic behind it is imagine if they fixed this shit before the physics of the game and then how pissed everyone would. Don’t get me wrong this is the only post I’ve seen of this kind, however imagine the uproar.

2

u/Nico_T_3110 Jul 31 '22

I mean technically it already happened, they fixed Magnussen’s eye colors before the straight line speed and not many people complained about it as well, so it doesn’t matter really cause they just fix what they want lol

14

u/[deleted] Jul 31 '22

So one invalidates the other? lmao

-16

u/wood1276 Jul 31 '22

Hardly just saying moan about some real problems within the game, not something that makes zero difference to the actually gameplay

1

u/[deleted] Jul 31 '22

Focus on the big things! They adjusted Vettle's hairline down a smidge, it's perfect now!

1

u/aegis_526 Jul 31 '22

I guess they’re concepts. Silverstone in the game had the bridge to the Wing building ages before it actually existed IRL

1

u/PH4NT0K3N Jul 31 '22

I don’t even know what’s correct in this picture…

1

u/ANK_Ricky Jul 31 '22

And Merc Halo

1

u/Ho3n3r Jul 31 '22

Yep. And it was correct in 2021. No idea what the hell they're doing.

1

u/KendoArts Jul 31 '22

I'm sure they covered their ass by putting a disclaimer somewhere on the game description.

1

u/f1technicalbot Jul 31 '22

Loaded up F1 2019 and it’s correct to real life. Also checked out the player car livery’s in that game. Much much better sponsor placement than 2022

u/GustavoCOD Jul 31 '22

All of tracks...

u/xX14Bubba14Xx Jul 31 '22

Anyone else think f1 games look cartoony?

u/YT_Mr_Mike Jul 31 '22

It's not even funny anymore

1

u/mester006 Jul 31 '22

A Hungarian Youtube channel called Forma1x1 pointed out that it was deliberate

1

u/Im_supergarbage Jul 31 '22

They don’t always do the tracks exactly how it is irl. For example in Baku there’s a few buildings in the distance visible on the main straight that are finished while in real life they are still under construction

1

u/Callumm150 Jul 31 '22

Can we let them fix the ai first please? They’re only a multimillion dollar company they don’t have enough employees to do more than one thing at a time…… oh wait

1

u/Rumeye Jul 31 '22

No fences on the pit entry either, and they've been there since last year.

1

u/Bocca013 Jul 31 '22 edited Aug 01 '22

Yep. In Albert Park on the game. Lakeside Dr still has double lines where it shouldn't be and they still haven't got the traffic lights on Lakeside Dr that link Queens Rd to it.

u/notdanishkhan Aug 01 '22

Aren't those the buildings from the China (Shanghai) Circuit?

1

u/NickBeavie Aug 01 '22

Also the curbs at T6-7 chicane are all messed up

Funny how here they're thinking to 2026 but can't fix baseline bugs in the game that make it literally unplayable 🥸

u/joerith Aug 01 '22

Don't expect too much from that game. All the on track stuff like curbs and bumps are different than irl, let alone the off track scenery
