Steve Hood Answers 50+ Questions about F1 2011
The official PlayStation blog played host to over fifty questions asked on Twitter by F1 2011 fans. Steven Hood, Codemasters’ chief game designer, stepped up to the plate to field the questions. The questions run the whole gambit. Here are the answers to a few of them, some of which RSC readers have asked previously.
The team clarifies that while there is a local split-screen co-op mode, the co-op championship is only available online. Get your VIP pass ready for that! Hood stated that the save system is the same as 2010 but the Quick Car Setup allows Dry-Adaptable-Wet bias. The engineer and pit crew personnel change when players switch teams.
Codemasters considered the podium but said “that’s been done to death in Formula One games so, for this year, we’ve included Parc Ferme which is more immediate and personal.” While readers were hoping to add some customization to their helmets, unfortunately players can’t design their own.
In F1 2011, players can now view the cars as they wait via the all-new Spectator Mode. With an all new pit system, players can forget getting stuck in the pits like last year. “The pit-crew won’t let you out in dangerous conditions, though,” Hood explained.
