F1 2011’s Stephen Hood Talks Multiplayer, Community Feedback & F1 2011’s Upgrades

For a first step into the current generation gaming limelight, the official F1 game from Codies last year was a triumphant return to form. With sublime physics, stunning visuals and a gameplay engine that boasted most, if not everything, you wanted from an F1 racing game, it’s a tricky hand to try and beat.

More substance seems to be the way forward for F1 2011 then, which could turn the title into one of the best racers out there, with the 'Live the Life' mantra being fleshed out, more gameplay refinements, new rule changes being implemented and an added focus on multiplayer.

We caught up with F1 2011’s Chief Game Designer, Stephen Hood, last week to talk about all this and more. Do Codies listen to community feedback? How do they add value to a yearly title? Will they run out of ideas any time soon? We find out all that and more.

F1 2011 is scheduled for a September 23rd release.

let's hope they fixed the way peoples would kamikaze first corner in multiplayer and most of the time not even get penalized...

i wouldnt say the multiplayer was a disaster, it's just the retards that purposely crash into you that ruin it.

i race in a small league (the one in the f1 2010 forum no less :D) and the racing is clean and entertaining. :)

Meh, I`m not gonna buy this. There will be too few changes to warrant a 60 buck price tag. New skins for the 2011 cars, minor updates to career mode, and the lame-looking Indian circuit aren`t gonna cut it.

And I do very much hope they won`t include online Trophies this time around. I hate being forced into online modes like that.

EXCELLENT video, gives a REALLY good insight into the mindset of a developer for what will undoubtedly go on to be an amazing franchise. Really reassuring to hear that Codemasters, the true masters of driving games, are so passionate about developing games and are so in touch with the gamers who support them.

Go Codies! :)

would love to see the commentators back like in the old games instead of just listning to your race engineer all the time.
