F1 2013 vs. F1 2012 vs. F1 2011 vs. F1 2010 - graphics & sound comparison

F1 from Codemasters is back. It is definitely not a revolution, but an evolution, which was to be expected.
With F1 2013, Codemasters have gone back to the more natural and colorful look of F1 2011.
I really like the graphics, and even though Singapore in the rain looks a lot better once again, the 2011 version still wins. Those water reflections were just epic. At least the vertical rain is gone, which was a terrible failure in 2012.
The sound seems to be just a slight polish of the 2012 sound, which is not a bad thing, but F1 on TV still sounds a lot different. Maybe one day.
The game is really well optimized. It runs at mostly constant 60 FPS with a Core i3-530 @ 4.2 GHz and a GTX 660, of course in 1080p, on Ultra settings with MSAAx4.
There are some slight drops here and there (when there are many cars closely together), but it seems to be my CPU that is the bottleneck in those situations. With a native quad core CPU there should be no problems.
The coolest thing about the new game is of course all the classic stuff - tracks, cars, and scenarios.
Nevertheless, I do not think it justifies the full price they are asking for the game. In case of digital copies, there should be an upgrade program. If you own the previous version, you would get a 50% discount. If you own the version from two years back, you would get a 25% discount. Releasing a virtually identical game at full price every year is not cool at all.
Hopefully next year we will get something a lot different, when next-gen consoles are the target as well.
I might do some other comparisons, maybe replays, or graphical presets. We shall see.

2011 colors are very good

[@albertdw98]

Best graphics,:2010. It was a great game In my opinion, F1 2013 is the best game, but these graphics in Singapure... This is my order: 2013 - 2010 -2012 - 2011

[@Dylantje151]

f1 2012 sound wins and with the graphics the f1 2013 wins.

[@LegendarySnipez7000]

I like 2011 better than all

[@Sean-if7rp]

2010 and 2013 are the best of them all

[@richardchaney7295]

The color saturation gets more with each version. 10 looks realistic to me, 13 is way too bright.

[@merbusa]

download sweetfx and take the color away -0.10 I found is the perfect color saturation to look like real life from the 2013 game!

[@Anon24052]

2010 doesn’t look realistic at all, it’s bland and colourless

[@ayaadjanjua2545]

@@Anon24052 I think f1 2011 is the right inbetween

[@hachidaime8154]

the camera position in 12 was better than 13.13 is a bit zoomed in.

[@avgoustisimo]

Sebastian Valencia i agree 100%

[@Wawawa60]

i dont know what he changed, but the "2012 sound" is not the one in my 2012 xD. if you listen closely it sounds like there is some kind of effect on it

[@rifatsyafri8896]

+Keno Fuhrken Yes, it's a wind effect

[@treturismo]

you guys are on crack, 2013 has almost the same sound as 2012

[@thisisfaka]

Why? The 2012 has the best sound, the most powerful, 2010/ 11 sounds like a screech and 13 it's a step back to it's predecessor

[@ZbigniewSiwiec]

🌎🇵🇱🍀👍👍👍

[@debibogosian421]

i perfer 13 too

[@justinpereira5000]

2010 is the best

[@Kasmuller]

I think 10 looks awful 13 is the first to get rid of the muddy yellowish brown tone

[@ShineStreet]

2010 and 2012 look gloomy.

[@MarichiChip]

2010 just looks awful, i'm sure the game would look great if it didn't follow the trend of games those days making sure that the graphics are as dark as possible
