Montreal has a rather curious line which allows you to miss one of the chicanes but god help if you so put a tyre off track at the wall of champions. I expect it during time trials but there’s some anomalies present on a couple of tracks. Track limits are always going to be a bugbear but F1 2021 takes a rather strict approach. There are still things about the driving experience I dislike. It’s a nice use of the new tech, although you might want to find a way to silence the team radio. The haptic feedback offers more fidelity in terms of the road surface. It did initially throw me off my stride but it’s consistent enough to get a handle on. Sometimes the triggers deliver resistance under braking and acceleration. Most notably, the triggers adapt depending on how much force is being enacted on the car.

It’s the same here but the DualSense throws in some sensory differences that can take a little time to adjust to. I remember last season’s effort being the first time I could confidently drive without traction control and anti-lock brakes. You could re-enact Crashgate and get away with it, probably. Operating as teammates can provide some strategy that a solitary player would lack. What is new is the ability to play career mode with a friend. The tweaks to presentation also show up in career mode, although that’s a framework that is largely unchanged from the previous outing. Anyone looking for a challenge might have to really crank the difficulty up but it does at least showcase where the EA influence probably lies. It’s very self-contained and has a tone set apart from the rest of the product. You’re nearly always chasing the pack down and they come towards you rather quickly.Īs a new mode, it’s decent. It’s worth noting you’re not really holding the pack off in these events. In my two seasons with Williams, I came away with six wins with some of them feeling rather comfortable. AI’s very accommodating and it feels like a mode designed to make you succeed. I played it on normal and found the challenges to be fairly trivial. Not that doing so is especially difficult. Part of that comes from the game trying to tell a midfield story but at least Devon’s an ever-present to chase down. Nobody should say “Let’s push for fourth!” in anger. There are some cheesy moments and I find Brian, the team principal to be kind of useless. Jackson might pull some moves in the cutscenes but, off track, he just sounds weak.

In reality, young drivers are exciting to watch and come with an aggression an exuberance that’s refreshing. They have character and motivations that Jackson doesn’t really match. Devon has arrogance and Akkerman has all the doubts that come with age. If you take your Formula 1 seriously, Braking Point might be too harsh in the other direction.

He fits the role well and he presents a driver who you want to take down.

Whilst I don’t chime with the other two’s acting, Devon remains an unrepentant, smug villain. Taking the antagonist role is returning irritant, Devon Butler. Jackson might as well be George Russell in his driven quest to find a stronger seat further up the grid. It’s a fairly easy way to force drama and you can make some real-world parallels with our two main players. Aiden idolises him but the inevitable preferential treatment rubs him up the wrong way. Casper Akkerman is at the other end of his career. Big things are expected of him, at the expense of his older teammate. You being as Aiden Jackson, a young prospect who quickly finds himself an F1 drive. There’s no slow burn to this as our cast all bang heads. As a result, the pace of the story is pretty breakneck. Rather than racing whole races, you’re tackling shorter scenarios in each chapter.

Taking place of over three abridged seasons, it presents a slice of the sport’s ascent from Formula 2 to the big leagues. As it turns out, F1 2021 feels very familiar, albeit with a couple of new tricks on show.īraking Point is F1 2021‘s new story mode. This is Codemasters’ first title since the acquisition and I think more than a few people wondered what influence, if any, the new bosses would have. You know, I’m not sure how long it’ll take me to get used to seeing EA’s logo on an F1 game.
