Ny utviklerdagbok ser nærmere på R&D i F1 2018

Codemasters har nylig publisert andre utviklerdagbok i en serie i fire deler, og denne forklarer hvordan Karriere-modusen har blitt forbedret ved å gi spilleren flere valg og muligheter innenfor Research and Development. Dagboken avslører også at reglene kommer til å endre seg drastisk fra sesong til sesong i Karriere-modusen.

"We already had an extensive R&D system in last year's game but wanted to expand this for F1 2018 based both on feedback from our community and where we want to take the Career experience too," sa spillregissøren for F1 2018, Lee Mather, i en pressemelding. "We have made significant changes to the in-game pricing structure, added ERS upgrades, given each of the Formula 1 Teams their own unique R&D tree, and added a fog of war around the development."

"Probably the most significant addition is the introduction of rule changes, meaning that each season you don't know where the other teams are going to be performance wise. It makes every year unique and drives you to want to do season after season." fortsatte Lee. "The player will be notified by their engineer that a rule change could be taking place at the end of the year and they can choose to use R&D points to preserve upgraded items to protect areas that have already been developed. Doing so could see the player starting the following season in a stronger position. However, the other teams will also have to contend with the rules changes, meaning you take to the grid in Melbourne not knowing which teams are the fastest."

I F1 2018 får du leke deg med alle de offisielle lagene, sjåførene og banene fra 2018-sesongen, inkludert Circuit Paul Ricard og Hockenheimring, og suse rundt i biler som James Hunt sin legendariske McLaren M23D and Niki Lauda sin Ferrari 312 T2.

F1 2018 suser inn på PC, PS4 og Xbox One den 24. august.
