Whilst you’ll be spending most of the time on the track, Career Mode also has an extended emphasis on interacting with different people behind the scenes.
F1 2016 PC HACKS DRIVERS
You can select which Formula One team you begin your career with and which of their drivers you’ll partner with too, though the choice you make will affect what they expect from you – a team like Mercedes or Ferrari will expect you to be winning the World Championship within your first couple of seasons, but a lower team like Haas F1 will have a more long term plan for you. Those who enjoy spending hours fine tuning their character’s appearance will be a little disappointed as you’re only able to select your character’s face from a selection of pre-set appearances, though fortunately you’ll be spending most of your time behind a customisable helmet so it doesn’t matter too much.
F1 2016 PC HACKS DRIVER
The most enjoyable game mode of F1 2016 is the ‘Career Mode’ that allows you to create your own Formula One driver and set out to try and become World Champion. The real-life drivers have been re-created too, so you can expect to see the familiar faces of Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel, Nico Rosberg and Red Bull newbie Max Verstappen out and around the paddock. I especially loved the way that the heat coming from the backend of the car seemed to blur the air, with these minor details adding a significant amount of authenticity to the whole experience. The cars look fantastic too, with 2016 flyers like the Mercedes F1 W07 Hybrid and the Ferrari SF16-H looking impressive – sure, they can suffer the same weird shiny look so often seen in racing games, but they’re still visually stunning. The dynamic weather system of the game keeps things looking stunning too, with the sun scorching across the track and cars when the weather is kind, or the drenching puddles reflecting the course lights at a wet Singapore GP. Each of the twenty one tracks of the 2016 Formula One season feature in the game and they’re all perfectly re-created too, be it the tight streets of Monaco or the long straights of the Italian GP in Monza. F1 2016 not only provides the most authentic Formula One experience I’ve come across in video games, but one of the most enjoyable racing experiences too.ĭevelopers Codemasters have strived to provide an authentic experience with F1 2016 and they’ve succeeded in almost every facet.
F1 2016 PC HACKS SERIES
Much like the FIFA games, there often wasn’t enough change to justify anyone other than die-hard fans purchasing the latest entry in the series.Īfter a five year absence I’ve returned to the series with F1 2016, and boy am I impressed. I played it a lot and really enjoyed it, but the problem with F1 games is that each title is only marginally different – cars only change a little, whilst typically the same courses feature in a Formula One season each year. It’s been awhile since I last played a Formula One video game, with my last venture in the racing franchise being F1 2011.
