The F1 series of games is a great success when it is released at this time every year as an annual release coinciding with the launch of the Formula 1 season in the real world, and has received praise from players who love the world of Formula 1 sports with the best artificial intelligence and a whole range of classic cars for players to use in challenges and races Internet and other activities.
Codemasters, the famous development team for car games, is looking forward to more successes with this part that comes with more classic cars, even more race tracks, the return of the Split Screen and some major additions to the career mode that will make it more in-depth and unique, as well as the My Team mode The all-new, which is one of the most important additions to this part.
Play style
As an annual game, the changes that occur to it are not significant, which is normal with all annual games, especially sports, including Formula, which depend more on the passion of the players with the start of the various sports seasons in order to play with the latest players and crews and keep abreast of the changes that have occurred to them such as transfers, sponsors, etc. of these matters .
In F1 2020, it seems that things have not changed much in terms of gameplay, we still have the same style of control in the car, which tends to "realism", but the realism here is not boring, but it is realistic calculated as it is not similar to Project CARS in its strict control that punishes you for the smallest A mistake and turns into boredom with time and also of course you do not have the easy arcade gameplay for the NFS series of games, as it is something in the middle that tends to increase realism and is suitable for fans of Formula Racing.
If you are not familiar with and not a fan of the world of Formula and just want to play a car game, then this is definitely not your place where you will never like that you get a Penalty penalty every time you try to Cut Cross to one of the barriers, the game also has a special system for the interaction of the car when you get off the runway and exit About hurdles, which will force you to respect those yellow bumps in the ring a bit more than any other game that tolerates these matters.
In this year's edition Codemasters has added the Casual mode, which simplifies the overall driving experience, makes it easier, and adds some extra help for players who do not want to focus too much on every detail of the car, especially if you are not familiar with how to drive Formula 1 cars, and of course you are too, So another saying goes that you can now customize the difficulty to your liking which is great for new players with a special person.
In fact, I or you probably have never driven one of them, "I mean Formula Cars", it probably will not happen at all, but at least if you want to simulate that, we feel the players, we can do so through simulation games, which fortunately F1 2020 is one of them and it does. Excellent for the opinions of some real Formula One drivers.
For a fan of the Formula 1 series in particular, if you expect many changes from the release of last year or even the year before, do not put many hopes with this version as the changes are limited and slight and almost unnoticed from the ground up, but fortunately you will not lose any of the fun with regard to The gameplay style that I liked with this part also, especially with the complex Sim Mode and full of details.
Also in this part is the player-managed energy recovery system known as ERS as this system harvests energy from the car and stores it to increase the speed at certain points on the path and in the game there are modes that multiple players have to choose from, the matter is really dispersed at least For me, focusing on the road and commanding and controlling these systems while it takes time to get used to, but it is beneficial and without it the chances of winning are few.
The game also simulates the temperature of the chassis as well as the surface of the tire as well as the temperature of the brakes, and all of these things appear to you in real time while driving the car and the voice assistant alerts you with all the instructions that need to be taken about it and all these factors affect how quickly the tires reach the operating temperature and duration Which can last and thus is effective for the overall racing experience of the game.
My Team Mode - The most profound in series history!
It is undoubtedly the biggest addition in F1 2020, well the career mode also has a Career Mode, but it has not undergone any changes this year, and the differences between them are that instead of joining one of the ten teams in the game in the career phase and start your journey to glory, it is the phase The new My Team puts you in the role of a new team owner and also an F1 racing driver at the same time where you can choose the team name, design the crews, the team logo, customize the driver's celebrations, their looks and all those things, find the main sponsor, choose your car and engine supplier as well as choose a second driver for the team And then start your professional career.
There are many options when you start your journey in My Team, first and foremost is choosing a sponsor, as there are many sponsors who offer different amounts and weekly salaries for your staff, for example a sponsor who offers a large sum of course will ask you to achieve greater goals at the end of the season than the sponsor who offers an amount Saghi, whose only goals are to completely finish the season.
Therefore, all of these things must be taken into consideration so that you do not go out of the sponsor's budget and you cannot start purchasing the second engine supplier and driver for your team.
As is the case in both of the past two versions of F1 in Career Mode, the press interview system has been transferred in this phase as well, where you will in the game hold press interviews with the media and how your answer affects the morale of the different sections in the team as well as your position in general among the players Others, just like an RPG where your answer affects your character in the game as each team has an indication of sportsmanship, so I can say that the media image is no less important than the importance of your performance on the track.
The split-screen feature is back and nothing new on the fees
It is also good to return the split-screen feature in this version again after its absence, which is the feature that allows you to share with your friend or family member on the same device playing in a race by split screen, and thus is a pattern that the series was missing in past releases despite It is not new to it.
Regarding the graphics, unfortunately nothing has been updated from last year's version, the game graphically looks exactly like last year's version, perhaps even before the past .. Codemasters use the same engine without any modification or addition to the lighting and interaction of the characters, and the graphics can be said to be average, fit the game Overall, however, it doesn't rank as some of the other car games that offer stronger graphics.
The dynamic weather system is also not the best thing I have seen in car games, and playing in the fog and rainy weather is difficult to see, especially when using the camera from inside the car and at the start of the race in particular.
F1 2020 is the same experience that we saw last year and the year before last in terms of gameplay, graphics and general atmosphere of the Formula 1 world, but this version shines with the presence of the "deepest" My Team development in the history of the series as well as the return of the split screen feature and a lot of cars and circuits from the season F1 2020 featured.
In the end, you will like the game if you are a fan of the world of Formula and want a game that simulates driving F1 cars and it will take a long time in the new phase trying to reach your team to glory, but as a video game for the average player, the experience will vary from one person to another.
In my personal opinion, turning this series into a game issued every 3 or 4 years, for example, with its support of annual updates with each season, Formula will be better in the long run than being an annual game that comes with changes that can be included through "patch" instead of launching a full game in every General, the same opinion I prefer for sports in general.
