As for me, I enjoyed the game for what it was, but I enjoy 2013 better.

It could be considered a great first step into the world of F1.

If you are new to the sport, and are interested in checking it out, F1 2014 is the most accessible and easy iteration of the game that Codemasters has ever produced. If you own F1 2013 and love it, I see very little reason to upgrade to the new game unless you just really love the sport and want to experience the new turbocharged cars. Overall this still just feels like a filler game to satisfy a contractual demand until the next-gen F1 2015 arrives early next season. The game still looks great for being a last-gen title, the cars are faithfully reproduced, the new handling and performance models feel on par with the new cars, and the addition of Sochi and the Red Bull Ring add some extra excitement to the calendar. There have been a lot of changes to make the sport more accessible and entertaining to new comers, but often at the expense of the old guard. What that means is that F1 2014 is little more than a re-skinned version of the 2013 edition, but with less content, and less reason to continually play.į1 2014 the game is a lot like the actual 2014 season of Formula One itself. Rather than sink tons of money into F1 2014, Codemasters seems to have given up on current generation of consoles to focus their efforts on the upcoming F1 2015 game. Rather than dump more money into a non-competitive car that has no chance of making any serious headway in the championship, teams will start focusing all their money and effort into making a better car for the upcoming season. After more than a week of playing the new game, I can understand why the choice was made, and it’s not really a good one.Ī common practice in Formula One for losing teams is to give up on the year, and start working on their car for the next season. The team at Codemasters gaming studio made some waves when they announced that their latest iteration of the yearly racing->ke447 series, F1->ke190 2014 would only be released for the old consoles, leaving next-gen gamers sitting out in the cold.
