Really cool news, didn’t see this coming! Can you already tell a bit more about a global release date or is that too early to tell? Can’t wait to see any gameplay of it!
Are you able to further discuss the free to play model? What are the IAPs, are there timers involved? Thanks
I have to admit, considering I think that F1 2016 mobile is one of the best games out there which I still play regularly, i'm disappointed that the newest game coming out doesn't seem to be bringing more of the same but but fixing the main issues (premium pay model, new cars, updated AI, mfi controller support) - I do admit however that often games dont have to be PC/Console clones to be excellent, infact often games excel when they embrace being on mobile so I am interested to see more about this game - anyone able to access the soft launch and post photos/feedback?
Nice to meet you all - glad you're excited as we are about F1 Mobile Racing! It's really cool to see. From IAP deets, to launch dates, to screenshots and trailers, as soon as we're able to release more info on the game, I'll be letting you guys know on this thread. Stay tuned What are you all most excited to see? I know we've had a lot of chatter about the ability to customise your own F1 car...
Hi Chris, great to have you here! Changeable weather for me.. that would be excellent.. Will you be expanding the soft launch regions before release? Perhaps Australia
I saw this last night, which prompted my question regarding if it’s online multiplayer, or if you can still race off line.. If it’s online only , I probably won’t even bother..
Yeah I prefer offline racing also. One reason why is because some drivers are really dirty in multiplayer
Its still kind of beta, but I was able to launch a single race and raced a few laps. Even with all assists off it feels very arcade for me. I can’t even spin car 180 degrees in turn... no penalties, no car damage. 100% arcade, nothing compared to simulator. You just race like a child and pay money for iAP.
Hey all! Glad to see you've spotted that F1 Mobile Racing began its soft launch phase in a handful of territories this weekend Of course, as it's a soft launch, the game is still a work in progress and everyone here is hard at work refining the game, taking on player feedback and charging towards a full launch, so it's best to take anything you see/play with a pinch of salt there's lots more to come!
