I still remember how hyped I was for F1 2010 and playing it for the first time feeling like a kid again playing an official F1 game on console (I never had a PS3) so its a shame to see the state of the franchise now. Features removed, older games delisted. It just seems like the passions gone. I can only hope that Codemasters/EA lose exclusivity in the future in the same way EA lost exclusivity for Star Wars and FIFA. I don't want codies to stop making F1 games but I just want other studios to take a crack at it like how in the 90s/2000s we had the hardcore sims from Geoff Crammond and the arcade F1 games from Psygnosis and ironically, EA.

[@siloPIRATE]

I remember being hyped for the F1 games too when F1 2010 was coming. Since then my interest dropped and EA taking it over killed my interest. I did buy F1 22 (on sale I think), just to see if I could win the championship in My Team (I didn’t have enough time to find out in the free trial)

If there's *ever* a game that warranted going live service, it's F1. Iterative updates year over year with no fundamental changes is the perfect candidate.....so long as EA wasn't in charge. Charge me for the base F1 experience, give me seasonal updates. I can almost 1000000% guarantee you that they are not re-scanning tracks every year. Look at the length of time it takes iRacing to get a track from scanned to release candidate. Ain't no way Codies and EA are achieving that.

[@Spider-Man62]

Codemasters never ever ever claimed to be rescanning every track every year. Matter of fact they don't even scan them. But for 22 we had a couple tracks updated (3 I believe and a brand new track with miami) for 23 we had 2 brand new tracks (Vegas and Qatar) and Jeddah was updated, For 24 They rebuilt and updated Spa and Silverstone.

EA sports subscriptions generally restrict the number of ours for new game titles. Plus, if you cancel and it is just one day after they charge you, you will NOT get your money back. When you cancel, it will stop at the end of the month. My general rule for annually produced games is to buy them bi-annually. It also depends on how often you play the game.

[@Lacoste9277]

I think all sports games should be on a 3 or 5 year release cycle. No reason the devs of these sports games can't add updated driver rosters, liveries, and track changes in an update. Give the devs more time to make a more complete and better overall game and actually try to implement new features rather than take some out and then put it back in a year or so later and call it new.

[@CrazyEnzo03]

Steam seems to auto-apply the discount if you own those previous games on it, so there shouldn't be as much issue with "forgetting" it in what's probably the biggest user base. That said, this kind of pricing for yearly titles is why I do not buy every new yearly release.

[@ricobrown6630]

Electronic Arts strikes again. I'll stick to my Dirt Rally 2.0 and my F1 2020.

I don't need to and can't see how next year's WRC will be but only a tiniest bit better. WRC and Wreckfest are my "relaxation" games. 😊

[@kirkselbrede2179]

I also like that iRacing let's you get rid of your wheel on-screen completely, so I wouldn't have to position my TV. I love the cockpit view, and it's really distracting looking at 2 telemetry screens with double the flashing lights.. unlike some "un-named" f1 titles that shall remain enormous that don't allow that option.

[@kukuc96]

The iRacing comparison is especially interesting. A 1 year sub there is normally 110 USD, but take 25% off that if you buy during Black Friday (as most people do, because the Black Friday sale is common knowledge) + tax, and you are looking at around 100 USD/year, depending on the VAT where you live. And 100 USD is almost exactly 80 GBP. So the asking price of EA for the premium edition is almost exactly the same as iRacing, the sim with the reputation for being expensive.

[@LoongYawLee73]

The fact that EA jacked up the price from 2020 to 2021 alone was enough reason to not buy them. I guess for this one, regardless of the "features" (especially career mode) getting improved and added, I'm quite unlikely to buy it. I'll at best give it a try on Xbox Game Pass, and then maybe if I like it, I'll instead...

[@_chex]

I’m not saying I enjoy expensive games. However, calculating inflation - N64 games were $59 when released which would be $119 today.

[@StretchDaily]

Your argument for why it is overpriced is either inconsistent or ideologically not aligned with the reality of how the gaming industry works. Would it make you feel better if their sports games were advertised as a live service with a mandatory subscription and "micro"transactions? Does that sound familiar? It's similar (read as, nearly identical) to iRacing. While I disagree with how much money is made off of gamers (specifically sports gamers) for often subpar products, that is the justification for our hobby and no major studio is innocent in this. A sweeping change of how games are monetized is not going to begin in racing games and certainly shouldn't be led by someone whose job it is (and will continue to be) to perpetuate this business model. This isn't a defense of EA Sports, the gaming industry's monetization model, or live service games. Making a blanket statement that anyone that disagrees with you is defending a scummy, greedy business does not change the fact that you are wrong or being unrealistic. This is like fighting the rise in the cost of eggs by pushing for them to be sold individually instead of by the dozen. And also you've bought more dozens of eggs than 99% of the human population.

[@gaza.primera]

depends on the player, 1st group settled (mid to high tier equipment) f1 simracers will surely buy, 2nd group casual players (low tier or gamepad equipment) will wait for sale, and lastly the 3rd group newcomers (controller to keyboard users) will try and like then elevate the following year or try and shelve will touch the game again after a year or two. You can not have different prices amongst the group hence either you buy it at that price or don't buy it at all.

[@virtualawakening2299]

If you own a previous version, then the 2024 version should be a mere $15 DLC. ACC, RF2, AMS2 don't require you to buy a new game each year. Only EA Sports. Only diehards will buy full price every single year before they realize they could have even subscribed to iRacing all these years for maybe 4 times the cost.

Fantastic video mate! It was really good of you to at least make all of your viewers aware of the EA annual subscription. I for one did not know about this, so you helped save me a bunch of cash! EA's pricing model is a moral issue in my opinion, and I do believe it will eventually catch up with them. It would be great to see a third party come in and make a new F1 style game, even if they didn't have any of the copyrights. There's a sizable appetite within the racing community for an F1 style game with more depth and a better engine (no pun intended).

[@tommacdonald9677]

Purchasing any new release has turned into a mugs game it’s like buying a new car and having to wait 2 months for the wheels to arrive!

[@ldplays9431]

The deeper reason for this is that the higher ups don’t want you to own anything eventually so they’re punishing you by making you spend obscene amounts of money to own the game. Ubisoft CEO said gamers need to get used to not owning games and now Star Wars Outlaws is the most expensive game in history I believe. This is their way of moving you away from private property and ownership. You can still own but you’re gonna pay a ridiculous amount and feel like an idiot.

[@virtualawakening2299]

You're just renting a licencing fee for the year.

[@felipoliveira95]

As we understand F1 licence is highly costly that still doesn't justify the price. They would profit even more if more people could and have interest into buying the game.

They also delist all previously f1 games to force you to buy the last 2... they just delisted f1 22 with the start of f1 24 preorder phase. Also the last year f1 game will never go on sale so if you want f1 23 (maybe you want to play the story mode idk) you will have to pay full price. Sales of the f1 games are dropping showing that this tactic is stupid but EA doesn't care.

[@ymav100]

This is why you don't pay full price for these games, you wait untill they either go on sale down the road or get added to either GamePass or given away as part of the free monthly games for Playstation. I haven't purchased an F1 game for years now, and year after year I still manage to play n enjoy these games down the road.

It's just short of 1 year by 2 weeks. This is the first F1 game since F1 2014 that I won't be getting on launch. The differences aren't enough. As you rightly put, wait for a discount when the game will be complete. It's £70 on PS5 & Xbox! They need to drop last gen in these games so they can improve the game engine. It's a sad state of affairs that shareholders are dictating how games are made now. They just want a quick profit but in the long run it's damaging the franchise.

[@cdnpunk2270]

how do they release an f1 game every year? what changes exactly?

[@virtualawakening2299]

Basically who is in what team. Drivers get fired and hired and switch teams and such. And maybe a manufacturer or team gains an advantage over others. If you're like me, and "Who cares? How does that affect how I drive?" then you don't need to get the new game until they make real physics changes. But if it's EA Sports, it will always lean towards the arcade and away from hardcore sim racing. So it's basically about balancing the power to each manufacturer in the current season and having the correct names in each team for that year, if that matters to you. They do smoke and screens to try and fool you into believing there some kind of revolutionary change when the tracks are 3 or more years outdated...

[@antmax]

No one is talking about it because it costs about as much as a nice meal for two with a drink plus tip.

From 2018-2022, I bought the F1 games at release, always the 'champions'/complete edition, and often preordered.

I eventually bought '23 several months after release at a sizeable discount, and I imagine I'll do the same for '24, if I even ever buy it at all. Their greed, lack of innovation (worse than 'lack of' tbh, they remove content and features, it's the opposite of innovation), and increasingly poor value for money has completely killed my interest in the franchise. The complete editions of the older games at least came with worthwhile additional content in the form of certain classic cars... what premium desirable content does F1 24 offer, 'VIP Rewards' and PitCoin? Hard pass.

I use a sim called Race 07 released in 2000 to 2010 on Steam. It is based on touring cars with upgrade packs allowing you to run GT and F1 cars. You can run a championship in a RR1 car that is a old F1 from 20010. Back when you had V10's and i have mods off Race department website mods for F1 tracks and cars. (I don't recommend F1 cars as talent files make bad drivers run well and makes it harder to beat them. The Generic cars have fictitious names so it is more of a fantasy season. There are some famous names in GT cars. And it is simple to setup unlike my Rfactor 2 that makes it hard to calibrate season. Simple menu and you click on track's you want to run. It is that simple. Lots of mods official and unofficial to make it more fun. As for Codemasters i cant stand there games that i have run and i prefer Race 07. Older is simpler and better. I hate codmasters stupid animations and Arcade stile UI and how it gives penalties for track limits. Its like F1 1992 by Microprose just plug and play with better graphics.

[@JoeTiger44]

The price is high but I already pre ordered F1 24 and excited for it to come out

[@kyperactive]

Everyone's talking, its just drowned by the drones that will buy it every year. Like damn... at least I can say ive only ever regretted one purchase... these people feed off of pain 😭

[@TrickyDicky938]

the fact the EA made no attempt to include PSVR2 support over a year after the hardware came out speaks volumes of their laziness. The PC VR mode is also hideously unoptimized and feels like the same code from 5 years ago. Changing the tracks and tweaking the career mode and calling it a new release is one hell of a stretch

[@damag3plan]

Based on the last few games I'll wait til it's only a tener🤔

[@therickyflowers]

So if I have the highest tier sub from ea I can play the game early and no time limit? Just looking for clarification

[@BasilRacing]

The price for F1 24 is fair due to the amount of staff working on the game, the high end technologies being used and produced such as the F1 car model, driver models and facial scanning's. Not only that but also the services being provided towards these companies such as Internet, electricity, potential IT companies, Microsoft account licensing, and many, many more. Also the rise of percentage income. Steam makes 30% for each consumer purchase. This means to keep on track with the company's benefits, they would have to bump up the price by $10 or so and add extra for additional editions. Don't jump to conclusions thinking (This game has good graphics but poor content) and this is the stuff you're getting because F1 seasons only happens once a year, and to keep on track with the new seasons, developers need to build new games from recycled content to make it easier for the dev's to add more content. Otherwise, the community might as well wait for another 3 or 4 years to really get the quality content needed, but that isn't the real world, the community want's to play the newest game to feel immersed within the current season, and I am one of those. But try and give them credit on what they have within a year.

[@Mattissimo82]

Haven't touched games from EA since around 2011 - zero regrets.

[@4FiftyRacing]

The F1 games have stagnated since 2020 now. What I sometimes do is get one month of EA Play, play through the career until I'm bored and then stop the subscription. The online experience is terrible compared to iRacing anyway, so it's not worth keeping for longer than a month. I get why they release yearly though, these games live off of the yearly hype that their content creators build for them, kids and teenagers will never question this, their parents will buy it and that's it.

[@Ginnittowinit]

then you blame the content creators for blatantly lying about the game to try to stay relevant and not anger their overlords. Sad that they do that n not just be honest.

[@kingbob9128]

I wont be paying for it, its very expensive against other competition and its even worse in the online part with no race craft. £50 should be max just for the championship edition but EA are keen to rip off everyone and hopefully numbers drop to show their disliking to the pricing.

[@JPSchumacher]

I'm going to wait until it goes on sale, mainly because they made getting the platinum so fucking difficult in the last game that the only reason you would really get it is to play the driver career or team career (not a big fan of playing online) so it's only worth like $30 to me at most.

[@bradwelch6278]

The game is $90 or less. It provides solid entertainment for 360+ days /year. That’s $.25/day. You spend more on cheese/year. Quit whining.

[@UKBallYT]

Exactly

[@lolzlolz69]

It’s people like you two why companies get away with this shit.

[@UKBallYT]

@@lolzlolz69 yea but I'm not going a year without both new games. The EA one and the Frontier one. I enjoy all the new games a lot

[@MrDaleJE]

We will all still buy it though, wait until GTA6 is £150, i bet we all pay that too, Great video mate, great editing and research!

[@stuffeyy]

Thanks mate. If you see value in it and get enjoyment out of it then I can see why those will buy at these prices. However its the people who don't that should vote with their wallets more, not buy until it is at least reduced in price from sales to enforce changes. The champions edition is still a complete scam imo and should never be purchased.

[@Ginnittowinit]

nah, only people like you who hype it up when in reality its just the same shit that we had since 2018, having the same bugs in it is ridiculous. its license is up in 2025 n hoping someone goes for it

[@MrDaleJE]

@@Ginnittowinit Don't hate the player hate the game brother.

[@SlowPokeRacing33]

"we" ? Lol speak for yourself.

[@viniciusvieiracruz]

But rockstar delivers, the product is worth your money, gta v and rdr2 are great examples, and gta vi will surely be as well, I will gladly pay for gta vi, but full price for f1 2015 10.0 from ea mercenaries is an absurd

[@Franceee___]

Maybe this year I’ll finally be able to afford F12020💀💀

[@definitely_not_nick41]

I’d happily pay 50-60 USD for the standard edition 70 dollars for a standard edition game especially coming from EA isn’t worth it

[@Flamable85]

F1 games usually launch broken/buggy - this is why i just wait until the game goes on sale, by then the bugs have been fixed and its way cheaper.

[@xpndr0]

they said if you have F1 22, 23 you would get a discount but I don’t see it anywhere I look

[@martinzhang5533]

It should be one game every two years for full price, with a 10 dollar dlc for the updates on the in between years. Now the story and mechanics only change every two years already anyway, but they ask for full price every year nonetheless

[@Chidorin]

but you can buy previous versions with discounts, they are almost the same, Oh, EA deleting previous versions from stores 🤭

[@Dareful]

i can agree 100 percent. But if I’m an F1 game fan, I’m buying the game. If i don’t like the price, I won’t buy it! Simple!

[@PepGuardiola4805]

I would buy it if they had it for Nintendo switch as 60 dollars for a Nintendo switch game is a still as they cost upwards to 80 in Singapore

[@ZKN99]

Yeah i wanna play 24 looks like an interedting step in terms of driving mechanics, but ill wait 2 months and they will do 30-50% off like usual

[@nossy232323]

I used to buy each new release. But some years ago I stopped. Tired of getting milked for more and more money and getting less in return.

[@hoosierky21]

This is exactly why i wait until it goes on sale or it hits xbox game pass

[@MinatoNamikaze-ff9dj]

I would pay it if it was current gen only and actually updated it.

[@Novabeagle]

ill probs wait till its on a good sale cus i got f1 23 shortly after release when the champions edition was on sale for less than the normal one but like i dunno if ill get this one, plus with the new assetto corsa coming out this year gotta save my money fro that anyway lol

[@virtualawakening2299]

AC Evo will be worth the buy if you like AC. I'm so excited for AC Evo too. Even Max Verstappen drives iRacing instead of EA Sports Formula games. EA Sports is arcade. If you lean towards true sim, then AC Evo is the way to go. AC Evo will also allow community mods! 🤯

[@formulaguy2]

Mate just saying if you don't wanna pay full price wait till its discounted, cuz Ik people know the price and say its expensive and still proceed to buy the game.

[@stuffeyy]

I won't be thats for sure, but those who say it's expensive and still proceed to buy it shouldn't, its only through voting with your wallet that you will enforce either a reduction on price or creation of a better product

[@effinjamieTT]

Well, if last year‘s game is anything to go by, it’ll be heavily discounted within three months and on game pass and PlayStation plus within six to 8 months

[@soccersensation]

They probably keep the same pricing structure for persons "new" to the game. I actually give them credit for discounting owners of the pervious games, something they didn't have to do. Personally, I don't buy F1 every year. I purchased F1 23 and will skip F1 24. Back in the day, I use to buy every Fifa, COD, Assassin's Creed etc. Then I eventually realized it wasn't worth it. Maybe if the discount for owning the previous game was more, I would consider it.

[@Airyed]

Even the F1 manager has admitted that they were charging too much and have announced that the new game will be 30 pounds, not 50+

[@D3F14N]

This video needs traction!! Agreed on every talking point.🤞 things need to change

[@chrisayres7974]

This will be the first time I won’t purchase and will wait for sale.
