Game "Formula 1 2014 Codemaster"

Welcome to my Blog, especially to game lovers. In this opportunity I bring you this publication where I will explain about a sports game, Formula 1 2014. F1 2014 is a game made by the Codemaster company, which I can tell you in terms of graphics the game is excellent, the best I've seen, but its gameplay is arcade. In other uses, the term "arcade" refers to classic video games or that remind the machines of the same name. It is also used to differentiate simulators. Arcade, in this sense, usually refers to games relatively easy to play or that do not respond faithfully to gravity and other real physical forces, which was what dominated as a genre in the machines.

One of the best things in the game, is the animations of the pilots celebrating in the park closed in the pit after the race, the effects of the rain on the track, pit stops, the effects of sun shine, wear on the the tires, among many other things that I will explain in the analysis.

Path Mode

Another game mode is the trajectory, in which we will start as a rookie driver and the team we select. This mode is very interesting, since in it there is a total of 19 races, that is, each circuit of the calendar of the real season of Formula One International. We can change teams between seasons and also improve our performance with the help of tests done in this mode as we progress through the season. Equally, it is still important to overcome our teammate in classifications and race to win the favor of the garage.

Trajectory Mode (Capture done from the game by myself)

In Path Mode we find Evaluation Test, World Express and Path. Test of Evaluation allows to determine what degree of difficulty suits us more, and apart a new option is integrated for the most novice, which seems to be quite demanded. In the World Express we have a reduced schedule with one qualifying lap and fewer races, which is ideal for those who have little time. And finally, in Trajectory we can find three modes, a short of 7 races, an intermediate of 12 and the complete championship of 19 races.

Within the Online Multiplayer Mode we have the option to choose Fast, Medium and Cooperative World respectively.

Test Zone

In Testing Zone we find Recreation Mode, Medals Cronos and Time Trial. In Recreation Mode we have to face a series of simple situations, with which we can win bronze medals for each one that is exceeded. The situations are struggles for the victory in the grand prix of Australia, repeat the triumph of William and the Venezuelan Pastor Maldonado in Spain or take advantage of the misfortune of other riders to snatch them a position in the podium of pilots. Then there are the laps of Cronos de Medal and the Time Trial, which as its name says, consists of timed laps and obtaining rewards such as medals.

My F1

In this game option, we find the Data of our pilot profile and adjust the settings of the game. Among the adjustments we have the Pilot Controls, where we select the type of devices used to drive the car, whether control, keyboard or steering wheel and assign each of its functions. In the difficulty we can configure the piloting aids,such as traction control, predictive direction, ideal layout line, type of route, gearbox, help in boxes, among others. HUD options, are each of the graphics that appear in the race, such as lap times, circuit map, car status, Proximity arrow, name of drivers, race position, among others. The details of graphics and the different sounds of the game. The sounds of Motors are like the 2014 season of F1 and we also have engineers' sounds through radio communication that help us in practice, classification and mainly in the race, providing important data.

Game Options (Capture done from the game by myself)

One of the most interesting things about the graphics of this game is the presence of the realistic reflection of the cars. In addition to the objects, public, particles, tire marks on the asphalt, distant cars in the circuits. But, the most impressive thing is when it rains and the effects it looks like if it were real.
