F1 2015 Teaser Trailer announces delay

Codemasters released the first gameplay teaser video of the upcoming F1 2015 game, and also published a new set of impressive preview screenshots.

The teaser video showcases the car and track models and their texture quality. Furthermore, the video also shows us some of the in-game weather conditions.  The newly released screenshots you can find on the bottom of this post, reveal that the models of the drivers, mechanics and team staff have been texture mapped with recognizable faces. By the looks of it, Codemasters did not just focus on the actual racing, but will also entertain us with grid walk cut scenes and podium animations.

As a bonus, F1 2015 will include the full 2014 F1 grid. The 2015 content at launch will be based on the winter test/pre-season liveries as revealed by the teams before the season started. As the season progresses Codemasters will continue to deliver content based on the full season liveries and enhanced performance data.

Last year Codemasters stated that the new-gen hardware platforms would enable them to improve both the physical and graphical aspects of the new installment of the F1 Series game. These latest preview screens show us that they pretty much succeeded in doing so. The development team stated that the console versions will run at a solid 60fps. As usual, the PC version will most likely need a beefy graphics card, to run at full detail.

There is also some bad news. The title was supposed to be released worldwide on June 12, but Codemasters now announced they had to postpone the release until July 10th in the UK, Europe and Australia. North America will see the title released on the 21st July while Brazil is scheduled for the 24th .
