Developer Codemasters has announced significant updates to the upcoming release of F1 24, boasting revolutionary gameplay enhancements and the largest-ever physics update with EA SPORTS DYNAMIC HANDLING. Set to launch on May 31, the game offers two editions: Standard for $70 and Champions Edition for $90, with a 15% discount for owners of previous F1 titles.
Codemasters emphasizes gameplay improvements, including reworked tire and suspension systems for enhanced realism. Collaborating with Max Verstappen, the dynamic handling system aims to provide a true-to-life driving experience, reflecting the nuances of F1 cars’ performance on the track.
The new suspension kinematics system offers improved weight distribution and center of gravity, influencing the car’s handling dynamics. Additionally, the enhanced tire model considers temperature variations, track conditions, and driving styles, affecting performance and durability.
The aerodynamic model receives updates, utilizing Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for realistic downforce effects and slipstreaming dynamics. Players can customize performance settings, including aerodynamics, transmission, and suspension geometry, enhancing personalization and immersion.
The inclusion of features like the Energy Recovery System (ERS) and Drag Reduction System (DRS) adds depth to gameplay, allowing players to fine-tune strategies for optimal performance. With improved throttle response and ERS management, players can maximize acceleration and energy efficiency on the track.
Despite ambitious claims, players will ultimately judge the game’s quality upon release. The Standard edition includes the F1 World Starter Pack and 5,000 PitCoins, while the Champions Edition offers additional content and early access privileges for avid fans.
