Makes with the working
Venn-
- Aside from having to manually set my video card on every, single, start, no issues.
- Holding a solid 60 (with the occasional 50) @ 1080p with EVERYTHING on 11.
- Low to mid 50’s @ 1440p
- It’s full-metal 30s ville @ 2160p.
- Does seem to have the slightest bit of Vulkan herky-jerk.
Jordan-
- Got it to crash. Run it on 1080P ultra on a laptop
- Still a little borky on laptop hardware

Shiny / Sounds
Venn-
- The human models in this game are horrifying.
- Also, anything that is not on the track looks like it was textured and rigged by an intern.
- That said it looks a lot like F1 2015.
- Everything has that slightly plastic look.
- Nothing wrong with that but they could really stand to up the visual realism.
- But at the end of the day (and what you’re here for) I did not notice a single graphical glitch during playtesting.
Jordan-
- I’m pretty sure they settled on one audience model and have just been reusing it for the past however many f1 games
- That said, the stuff you do care about IE: Tracks and cars look great
Pedro-
- I can finally play the game on turbo graphics and hold over 60 for the most part.
Total-
Control
Venn-
- Worked fine OOTB with the Steam controlla.
- I, guess it controls like a F1 car driven with a joystick?
Jordan-
- Right trigger accelerate, left trigger reverse. Pretty much all you need

FUN
Venn-
- Before you spool up your ReEEEEeeEEeE drives hear me out.
- I’m not a fan of simulation games plain and simple.
- City building, driving, dictating, you name it.
- Why? It feels like I’m doing work and if I’m working I want to accomplish something.
- Also, I don’t have a racing setup and a good one would cost as much as the new studio.
- That said.
- I SUCK at this game.
- Seriously, 2+ hours doing laps in space-australia and the game is still telling me to get good.
- I tried a few one off races with predictable results.
- Even in the most extreme training wheels mode F1 2017 will skull FK you for blinking at the wrong time.
- Some people get a raging clue when presented with this level of realism, me? Not so much.
- I don’t follow F1 (I get it, just don’t follow it) so the career mode didn’t really add anything. BTW this season is almost over.
- With driving games (Distance, Mad Max, Rocket Cars) I require the ability to dick around because I find that fun.
- So if you are into the F1 you have already left a comment stating how WRONG I am but for the rest of you, hear this.
- If you are looking for a “”sim”” to dip your toe-organ in pick up Dirt Rally.
Jordan-
- Predictable, amirite?
- The fact remains, that I’ve never really seen the appealof f1 aside from as an excuse to get trashed with your friends
- I have no friends, and getting trashed makes me play even worse at this game, so you just lost two points there brad
- Once again, this seems to be a game purely targeted at f1 enthusiasts and people with driving wheels into simulations
- It’s like trying to peddle McNuggets to an anorexia meet. You’re marketing at the wrong people
Pedro-
- F1 2017 is better than F1 2015 but it still isn’t the F1 game that changed my mind about racing sims
- Much like Venn, I suck all manner of dangly bits at this game, which isn’t really something that affects my enjoyment of a game.
- It’s just that I can’t seem to enjoy F1 games at all.
- That said, I don’t think this is a bad game at all.
- The fact it uses Vulkan all the time and it shows by how smooth everything is, helps me recognize how good it is on a technical level.
- I just don’t find it fun.
