'F1 2014 doet aan 60 FPS'
Alle toekomstige F1-games op Xbox One en PlayStation 4 zullen draaien op 60 frames per seconde. Verder zou de volgende F1-game verbeterde physics ten opzichte van current-gen games moeten hebben, zo liet Codemasters communications manager Andy Gray weten.
Volgens Gray kan Codemasters dit op de huidige generatie consoles niet voor elkaar krijgen: “[We] hit the peak of where we can go with the current-gen stuff, not only in terms of visuals but obviously physics and everything."
“Having more power, as you say, enables us to do a lot more. Automatically the skip up to 60 frames per second, for example, on next-gen will enable the handling to move on leaps and bounds, because the more frames you have, the more the contact points there are essentially.”
De volgende generatie consoles zullen veel betere physics ondersteunen dan de huidige generatie: “We’re talking to a couple of teams about sharing their kind of physics data, in terms of the way the car actually handles in their simulators, and we can more or less port that over to consoles, which wouldn’t be possible with current-gen."
“Next-gen it becomes more possible, not to the extent that the F1 guys do because they have individual, massive gaming PCs for each tyre, one [PC] for just the air, the way the wind flow works. They have like, 10 PCs per simulator whereas we have one console. But, the more power we have the more we can simulate what it is actually like.”
Hoewel er officieel nog geen next-gen F1-game aangekondigd is, kunnen we er zo te horen op vertrouwen dat F1 2014 uit zal komen voor Xbox One en PlayStation 4.
F1 2013 komt uit voor pc, PlayStation 3 en Xbox 360 op 4 oktober.
