… ExpandĪ beautiful looking and sounding game has once again been ruined by Codemasters' insistence on catering for the lowest common denominator.

#F1 2013 pc fullscreen Patch
Codemasters, if you’re reading this, please take some time, patch this up, add the proper textures (or even the ones from last years game), fix the steering, fix the grip and give your customers value for money. I hesitantly say that this was released before it was ready. The only improvement, graphically, is that the from-driver perspective is lower down, and so more realistic. However, this time it isn’t even a polished example graphically.
#F1 2013 pc fullscreen series
In conclusion, this game shows the sad progression of a series that started out as a challenging simulator-style game where the rough edges were forgiven due to the excellent racing, into an arcade style “easy-for-everyone-regardless-of-setting” point-n-squirt game which presents next to no challenge. There are other gripes, but I think that a side of A4 is enough for a review. None of the other textures seem to have the clarity of the previous iteration and all I can hope is that F1 2013 is opened to the Steam Workshop so that someone competent can make a HD Texture pack. It’s unacceptable for an official game to slip backwards this dramatically in terms of graphical quality. Melbourne springs to mind the second to last corner is just one bit swathe of green from the kerb to the top of the tyre wall whereas in the 2012 game there was detailed grass shown.

The textures are AWFUL and I play on a PC capable of maxing every setting.

Graphically, there have been some changes (hard to tell whether they’re for better or worse). Great for the visuals, no challenge to master what should be a very challenging car. Not in this game no spins, no spills, huge downforce (unrealistically so). Cars from the 80-90’s were on the edge, cars that you had to muscle around the tracks. A quick note on classic mode: other than gear ratios and the cars revving faster, the classic cars don’t feel ultimately different than the new cars. The first time out on this game, no setup done, no prep, I got pole in a Force India in Melbourne (hardest difficulty).

Having recently lent my F1 2011 game to my dad, I had another go on it and found that it was so much more realistic (and difficult!) than the previous two generations, and would recommend this as the most “simulation” style of racing game. This is a game to avoid if you are after a simulation. For a game that is supposed to represent the cutting edge of motorsport where cars are constantly held on the limit, this game is far too easy when you want to dial it into the hard setting. The steering is horrible and vague, the tyres offer more grip than is ever viable and attempting passes that would sent a real F1 car smashing into a wall are pulled off without a hitch. As other reviewers have stated the steering controls in particular for this game are awful, as is the massively over-played traction and an almost inability to mess up, even with all assists off. The steering is horrible and vague, the tyres offer more grip than is ever viable and attempting As a fan of the series since the F1 2010 game, this is a huge disappointment, as was F1 2012.
