作为一个要交50美元年费的游戏系列，Codemasters 已经算是很有诚意的了。
2013 赛季的 F1 规则相较 2012 赛季无甚变化，没有新赛道，还少了个车队，Codemasters 终于可以从 FOM 繁琐的授权许可中解脱出来，专注优化游戏。
评测前先说明，我的设备是罗技 G27，一款比较亲民的设备，性价比不错。以前我用 Xbox 360 手柄也玩过，但由于键程短，需要开少量驾驶辅助。

本作的优化点包括但不限于：
1）视觉整体提升，赛道和赛车从未如此真实，晴天的光照效果生动无比，去除UI后几乎达到照片级，阴天和雨天仍然有提升空间；
2）FOV 优化，无论车手视角还是 T 架视角，都基本与现实相符，在16:9的屏幕比例下，美国1号弯和印度4号弯终于不再是 blind corner；
3）handling model 优化，赛车在无辅助情况下的操作容错度进一步缩小，想在出弯时一脚油门下去吗？等着 spin 吧；想在发车时像以前那样一脚踩到80%吗？等着空转吧；
4）赛道细节优化，有些路肩终于修低/修高了，新加坡终于修成了现实版；赛车线外部的橡胶颗粒会随着比赛进程逐渐增多，过去压到的话，抓地力会受到少量影响；
5）AI 提升，想开着一辆玛鲁西亚血虐四冠瓦二吗？在 2013 里是没可能了（高难度下）；Legend 难度下的 AI 也不再像以前那样毫无挑战；
6）Classic 内容，体验完全不同的赛车驾驶，V10 的澎湃动力和超强扭力让人印象深刻，再听听 90 岁耄耋之年的 Murray Walker 铿锵有力的旁白，整个人都融化了；

当然，我不会说这个游戏是完美的：
1）某些路肩可以让游戏过程非常恼火，比如新加坡和阿布扎比的某几个慢速弯路肩，吃得多+稍微给油就会直接造成 spin，并且连救车的机会都没有。而只要看过 onboard lap 的车迷都会知道这几个路肩的容错度是非常高的；
2）高难度下的 AI 作弊太过明显而且间接影响了难度。什么超软胎在雨天依然火星车的事情就不提了…光是 AI 车辆过度加速、换挡和刹车在地面上蹭出来的黑色印记，就直接让每个弯角的刹车点、转向点暴露无遗，这还算高难度吗？EXPERT 以下难度无此问题；
3）网战的无效游戏时间依然非常长且无法跳过，这是持续了 4 年的老问题；且由于亚洲玩此游戏的实在太少，如果没有好基友跟你一起玩的话，建议 Steam 下载地区可以选择欧洲一些国家，可有效提升找到房间的数量。

整体上说，把所有辅助都去掉，这一代游戏离 simulation 更近了；如果把辅助打开，对新手玩家来说也是不错的体验。毫无疑问，作为 PS3/Xbox 360 时代的倒数第二作，F1 2013 是 Codemasters 的 F1 系列到现在为止最好的一代。

F1系列游戏不同于NFS、DiRT等赛车游戏，更侧重于Simulation（包括赛车、车手、赛道、规则等等），推荐F1爱好者和hardcore玩家入手本作。

游戏性
F1 2013的游戏系统跟前两作相比没有太大变化，主要有Young Driver Test（新手教程）、Grand Prix（单场大奖赛）、Proving Ground（计时模式）、Career Mode（职业生涯挑战）几种游戏模式。多人内容方面包括双人spiltscreen以及16人的online multiplayer模式。
对于新手玩家，Young Driver Test可以帮助你快速入门，而F1的详细赛制与规则就需要靠自己去搜索了。
至于Season Challenge模式，是一个“浓缩版”的赛季，只有十场大奖赛，感觉比较鸡肋。
本作的亮点在于新模式：F1 Classics（需要购买经典版或者DLC），重现了80'~90'年代的经典赛车，游戏画面也很有怀旧气息。美中不足是只有五种赛车，希望以后能加入更多的经典赛车与赛道。

视觉效果
画面与前作基本相当，在细节上的处理更胜一筹，特别是雨天时的画面表现，以及反光镜的细节。
在车损效果方面有所改进，但碰撞检定仍然不是很真实。F1赛车的悬挂是很脆弱的，但是在游戏中一般的碰撞基本不会损坏你的悬挂，要么就是直接撞掉一个轮子Orz。

操控
这一类游戏对于键盘、手柄一类的非线性控制器来说简直就是灾难。辅助全关的情况下一些高速弯用全油门根本过不去，这时只能采用不停按油门键再放开这样的方式，包括方向的微调也必须这样。在起步以及出低速弯后给大油门也很容易spin掉。
对于新手来说，可以在选项里开启辅助驾驶，主要有TC（感觉不开牵引力控制就是作死）、Gearbox（调成自动档）、Dynamic Racing Line（打开赛道线路、刹车点提示），Braking Assists最好不要开，严重影响圈速。
而关掉所有辅助，使用方向盘会给你带来不一样的模拟驾驶体验。

AI
AI作为这款游戏中非常重要的一部分，却很不尽如人意（至少我不满意）。虽然AI们的圈速很快，但是它们的智商太低。大部分时间里它们只会执行自己的线路，你会发现正赛中AI们在弯角一个接一个地排队按赛车线过弯，基本不会去尝试超车，而你能在另一侧轻松超越它们。AI们基本不可能再把你超回来的（除非直道速度落后太多）。
尽管F1 2013的AI看起来更快了一些，然而从F1 2010开始AI就存在的这个根本的问题却一直没有得到改进。

Summary
如果你仅仅是想体验飙车横冲直撞的快感，已经习惯了一些赛车游戏一脚油门踩到底的操控方式，很遗憾这款游戏不适合你。
如果你是一名F1的狂热粉丝，想驾驶自己喜爱的赛车在赛道上一展身手，或是想挑战F1赛场上的圈速纪录，或者是壕，那么你绝对不会后悔的！

好东西永不打折!

写在前面的话----如果没有f1 2013，那么就不叫玩过f1系列游戏。。。
要凑齐f1 全系列都玩过才有发言权吧，而我正朝着这一目标努力，第一款f1游戏就是f1 2013。。。。
当然看人如果只看外表，那的确是非常肤浅的，但对于一款我并不了解的游戏，画面就是抓到我目光的第一重点。比起《极限竞速4》来说，也许画面并没有那么的优美，但仍然不逊色。尤其是车体，细节可以说是完全呈献了F1赛车工艺的精髓，从车体的反光、轮胎的转动以及仪表板上的按钮灯光等等细节，绝对都是吹毛求疵的极致。而车辆高速行驶的反光，轮胎打滑空转橡胶燃烧时的烟雾，绝对是不会输给任何强调画面的游戏。尤其值得一提的是雨天，由于方程式赛车的车子是没有车顶的，所以下雨时雨水将会直接打在驾驶的头盔上，在高速下的雨水飞散所造成的动态视觉模糊，都能完整的呈现出来，让玩家体会真正的车手在雨天中竞速的艰困环境。
我通常将赛车游戏分为两种类型，一种是强调模拟真实赛车的操作与节奏，另外一种就是比较强调赛车的气氛与爽快。而《F1 2013》来说，我真的很难分类它是属于哪一种，因为在练习时虽然很强调油门的控制，过弯与出弯的速度跟角度都很计较，一个不小心就会轮胎打滑空转。但在这强调真实操作的画面与控制来说，《F1 2013》也提供了辅助路线与辅助煞车，以及我最爱的倒带系统，让玩家可以从错误中学习跑法。所以说在拟真与操作体验上有尽量去达到平衡，整体来说上手难度并不会太难。
但由于有“KERS动能回收系统”以及“DRS减少空气阻力尾翼系统”，让操作的丰富性大大的加强了。 “KERS动能回收系统”是一种动能回收装置，主要是将煞车所产生的热能回收之后，将机械能转换成动能的一种系统。简单来说，就是一种小型的推进器（相信大家都有看过闪电霹雳车），每次比赛中每圈可以获得七秒的KERS能源，主要是用来防止对手超车或者直线上想要加速超越对手车辆时使用。而“DRS减少空气阻力尾翼系统”就是可以透过改变尾翼的角度来减少空气阻力，只有在赛道的某些路段才能启动，主要是用来直线时超车。
游戏中提供精典方程式赛车模式，玩家将会有机会扮演不同时期的传奇车手，并且重新进入当年的Grand Prix大奖赛。除了完整重现经典的方程式赛车车辆之外，也重现了当年传奇的车手与赛事。想要亲自体会舒马赫的冠军之路，就可以利用这个模式来驾驶法拉利F1-87/88C这台经典方程式赛车，体验舒马赫夺冠的荣耀。当然除了完整重现赛事之外，玩家也可以自订赛事的细节，创造属于自己的方程式赛车纪录。
在游戏一开始，玩家必须先从三支车队中选择其中一支车队的车手来进行游戏。我左思右想，总算看到一个有在看方程式赛车的朋友提过的名字，隶属于法拉利车队的Fernando Alonso。当然一开始会有教学课程，玩家可以先完成这些教学课程，先行一步了解游戏的操作方式。之后可以进行不同的赛事，以及时间挑战等等模式。而游戏中也有提供车辆调教的功能，喜欢F1的玩家一定会爱上这种功能，因为你可以亲自改装在车队中的传奇车种。
可以选择时间挑战赛等不同的游戏模式，当然也有经典的赛事重现模式，让你挑战某个车手在某场赛事中所遇到的挑战。
如果你跟我一样不太习惯开时速三百公里的怪物，游戏中也有相当优秀的辅助路线、辅助煞车以及加速路径等辅助功能，一样可以轻松完成一整轮的赛事（但名次就因人而异XD）；而有接触F1的朋友，除了每年能在赛事转播上观赏之外，透过游戏也能亲自下场体验最真实的一级方程式赛车魅力！喜欢F1的玩家朋友千万不能错过这款为了F1打造的专属游戏。

这个游戏很好玩，可他妈的不适合我

刚开始玩的时候力反馈相当脑残，居然会自动转向，前面左弯力反馈自动左打死，右弯右打死，调了半天才正常。手感娱乐偏模拟，驾驶技术要求不算高。想要赢比赛更需要进站策略，战术制定等考虑。一场比赛15圈，有点需要耐心。总的来说还算有趣，Codemasters的赛车游戏中感觉做得最好的一个。

冲这赛道与车模就能给赞！

After having clocked up a fair old number of hours, I think that I've reached the point that I can write a reasonable and considered review, but before launching into it, I'd like to make the point that I've never played F1 2012. As such, I can't make a comparison, and a feeling that has been concurrent amongst many previous reviews, that it's not worth the purchase if you have the last iteration, is one that I can't make a comment on. Now onto the review.

First of all, I've enjoyed pretty much every single of the 370 hours (at the time of writing) that I've played. That's quite an achievement - even the ultimate in open world RPGs, Skyrim, has only got 280 hours on my account. And that's across three playthroughs. There are negatives - of course there are, what game doesn't have them? But they are on the whole overshadowed by the numerous pros.

Singleplayer
I got my wheel at the same time as the game, and it took me quite some time to readjust. Thus, Singleplayer played a large part in my experience of the game - and it's pretty good. The Career, I'll be honest, is uninspiring - just five seasons around the same 19 tracks against all the same drivers in all the same cars - but when you consider that this is an F1 game, that's not surprising. I'm still only up to Spa in Season 1 - that's Race 11, I believe, after having some difficulty with Corrupt Save Files, and I'm not really eating up the miles in the same way as I used to.
Admittedly, to begin with, it's addictive - intoxicating, to an extent. Especially with a wheel, it's a very engaging game, and once you begin fiddling with the strategy, and the setups, even with a very average AI, it's great. I managed to clock the equivalent of a full 100% season before I started tiring of it.
And then after that, Codemasters have done a very decent job of fleshing it out with some excellent stand-alone features. There's the stock standard Time Trial, and Time Attack (For which you are awarded medals based on how fast you go), in addition to the Scenario Mode feature, which is good fun - placing you in a range of - you guessed it - scenarios, and then assigning you a score based on your performance. Throughout all this are the leaderboards, which is a nice touch, especially when competing with friends (I'm in a battle around Brands Hatch currently), and the only slightly saddening touch is that there are some people out there who aren't racing honestly, and ruining the very top of the leaderboard.
All in all, the singleplayer section is initially exciting, but this fades with time. Nevertheless, it was worth the £8 I payed on Amazon all by itself.

Multiplayer
The Multiplayer aspect of the game is the one that I now live for, and play pretty much exclusively. It's also very contrevsial.
I suppose I should probably start by adressing the really major problem, and that is the strength and consistency of the connections. I race in a competetive league (link at the bottom), yet each race, of the 12-16 player grid, around 2-6 players lose connection - even those with a strong internet service. This is irritating, but it doesn't happen all that often, and it's easy enough to work around on a small scale.
Now onto the praise. It's great. I mean really great. True, in terms of variety, it's not fantastic. You can only do races. But again, that's what F1 is about - racing. So no complaints there. But if you can find friends who play - or better, make friends out of like minded players - and you have some way of communicating with them during the race (e.g. Teamspeak, Evolve or Skype), then it's fantasic, more so if you're equally matched, because you can really relate. I won't delve into all the good things about multiplayer gaming, but it's a wonderful escape from reality.
Quite possibly the best thing about the Multiplayer is the number of Racing Leagues out there. While the quick race lobbies are usually scarcely populated, and frequented by intentionally dangerous drivers, the community aspect of a small league is very attractive, and it means that you can race regularly against player of a similar ability to you in an attempt to improve. Again, I won't wax eloquent about the merits of Race Leagues - but they are fantastic fun.

Classics
I'll be honest, the Classics section does feel like somewhat of an afterthought. There are a small selection of cars, with a slightly less small collection of Legendary drivers, which you can race as, but it's definitely not a game in it's own right - there is no career, the addition tracks are beautifully done but there are only four of them (two without the DLC), and though the cars look and sound gorgeous, the small selection and obvious performance gap means that it's hard to have a really decent race. A novelty, but a nice one, and it serves to refresh your enthusiasm for the game occasionally by doing away with the repetition that is running round a track like China 50-odd times.

As a Sim
If you're looking for a Sim, then sorry, you're in completly the wrong place. Though harsh, F1 2013 falls probably half way between Grid 2 (Ultra Arcade) and Race 07 (Total Sim). The tyre wear feels scripted. There are limited setup options, and most of them don't really make a difference to the way the car feels, or drives. Even without any assists, with a soft suspension you can absolutely floor the throttle mid way through a corner, and be on your way without any drama, even around a low grip circuit like Hungaroring. It's not a sim. It doesn't feel even remotely feel like one, and if a Sim is what you want, then go buy Assetto Corsa or Race 07. That said, it's good for a casual gamer looking for an experience that's more Simmy than normal.

The AI
One of my few major complaints about the game, the AI are average at best, and for a premium title that suggests an Intel i7 is the way to go, average disappoints me. They're overly aggressive, and yet they struggle to overtake. They are also poor at defending - you can dive it up the inside of pretty much any corner in the calender, and they'll leave you room. On the lower difficulty levels, they're little more than fodder, though admittedly, it takes some time to get up to speed.
However.
Similarly to F1, overtaking isn't a massive aspect. It's more about flawless consistency and excellent pace - and in those category, the AI shine. There are few enough races that I notice the AI in gravel traps or barriers (Monaco being the one exception), and even after 370 hours, in the Sauber, I'm only just fast enough to win on Expert (level 4 out of 5). So while not engaging in terms of their racecraft, they do what they're meant to, and the do it well, and it doesn't spoil the game in the same way that the first half of this section suggests it might.

Noticable Absences

-Free Practice Sessions 1 and 2. It only allows you an hour per race before qualifying to do setup and R&D work.
-Formation Lap
-Cool Down Lap
-In race settings. You can't adjust, for instance, you're diff while on track, and even Brakes and Fuel only have three settings.
-Variety of in game clips. Even if you win a world championship, you only get to see your typical 'I've one a race' fistpump shot.

Conclusion
Buy it.



It's a very good game. It's solid all the way through, enjoyable to the core, and if you put the time in, rewarding. You will see yourself improve. Trust me on this. If you're a fan of racing games, it's a must. If you're a fan of F1, it's a must. If you're a fan of both, I don't know why you even bothered coming here and reading this. But even if you're not, it's still fun, and it's the best way I've found (Except for reading) of passing two hours. Best of luck in your racing endeavours.
