F1 2016 – Should you buy the PC, PS4 or Xbox One version?

Two weeks ago, Inside Sim Racing’s host John Sabol took a first look at a demo version of F1 2016 by Codemasters. Now John is back with a new review of the PC, PS4 and Xbox One version.

John tries to find out what differences the various platform versions have in store. During the testing, he compared the graphic optimizations, AI behavior, physics improvements, and other aspects of the title in order to draw a conclusion as to the best platform to use for this game.

The latest installment of the official video game of the 2016 FIA Formula One World Championship continues where its predecessor left off. The new F1 game is built around a brand new career mode that spans 10 racing seasons. Its multiplayer support accommodates up to 22 drivers.

The 2016 iteration of the game also introduces the return of the Safety Car and scratch-build Virtual Safety Car system, and a Formation Lap. The level of immersion has been further enhanced by the inclusion of manual starts and manual pit lane entry and braking. Furthermore, the latest iteration features the Baku, Azerbaijan street circuit which hosts the 2016 Formula One Grand Prix of Europe.

F1 2016 is available on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC. (DVD and via Steam) There is also an F1 2016 Limited Edition available including the ‘Career Booster’ DLC pack, which will give you a head start in your career, as well as exclusive Career Helmet and Laptop designs.
