Annual deliveries have a not inconsiderable handicap, the basis of the previous year. These past experiences act like a double-edged sword acting as the configurator of the new game, and usually there can’t be too many changes. If so, the developer runs the risk of losing part of her community because she will find out about it NBA 2K21 and the modification of his firing system. But If there are none, how do you justify the purchase of the new rate beyond the licenses when we are talking about an expense that can easily be around 80 euros? He knows a lot about it 2K, and also Electronics artthat has long since started to imitate its practices. The modes are the ideal haven and the start of a story mode that has a plot and backdrop to play with in future episodes is a sea of appetizing candy. We are with them F1 2021, a superb Formula 1 video game on the track (like the 2020 edition) almost all of their novelties on the expansion of the options of their modes and on the addition of. based Braking point, the dessert designed to satisfy the customer after a series of delicious, well-prepared dishes. Of course, Telling a story is not the same as having to tell a story, And this is where the problems begin.
The sequences introduced in the races act as triggers for the plot that Braking Point develops
Braking Point, an interesting starting point
Braking point He is ready to tell us in principle the trajectory of a young driver who has just landed in Formula 1. After a short prologue, which gives us a background about their performance in the competitive F2, the system invites us to choose between one of the five available teams. In my case, I chose Racing Point because I could see the team transform into the Aston Martin F1 Team. That means right from the start, We know we will live in Aiden Jackson’s shoes for more than one season, The protagonist.
The first approach is interesting. He greets us at the Racing Point Facilities Point Brian Doyle, the liaison with the team manager and the person who will act as the direct manager. It is used to place the player both in the paddock and in the game environment and to present both the team’s situation and its trajectory during the season in each grand prize. It also has its weight in the plot in which we’ll see how attempt to act as a balm to ease the strained relationship between Jackson and his seasoned teammate Casper “Cas” Akkerman, the third leg of the bench.
The characters’ faces are of a high standard.
Akkerman is a living F1 legend, an elderly pilot at the twilight of his career. The admiration that Aiden has for his teammate doesn’t prevent the competition between them from ultimately leading to some insane rivalry that he puts on the table the big theme of the story that is supposed to tell us; the clash between the vehemence of youth and the experience of years, the friction between whoever just arrived and the consolidated number, something strongly reminiscent of what happened in 2007 between Alonso and Hamilton at McLaren.
F1 2021’s Story Mode proves that more is not better
From this interesting starting point we live the development of the season, through the various great prices, without taking all the tests every weekend. As soon as we start a race with seven laps to go, the aim of which is to catch up with our teammates, how they get us into another one in which we have just damaged a bike and we have to come to boxers to change it and, in the next they allow us to complete all the laps. We are now seeing this rivalry grow inexorably.
The rivalry between the two drivers on the same team is the big theme in the new F1 2021 story mode.
In this sense, I like the way the game puts us on the track, but another thing is what is said when we leave it and as they say. The dialogues are without a doubt the worst not only in that regard but in the entire game. The surprising technical power that the title offers in its video scenes, both in those related to the competition and those built with close-up shots of the characters, your text is blurry. The initially very attractive conflict, which has some pleasant surprises in store for the future, is tarnished by a text full of clichés, useless advice, incoherent phrases and personality profiles that range from incoherent to absurd. An example of this is Devon Butler, a pilot whose only function is to badly touch and touch his nose, something he goes through some childish and childish arguments and manipulations to say enough, destroying any possibility of generating real participation in the player.
It all made me wonder How far can adding a story mode be positive in this type of video game?. It may seem that their mere presence is already news to celebrate, and I think this is a dangerous attitude that leads us to results like the present. A boring story that totally misses the excellent material it has because his raison d’etre, his ultimate goal, is not to tell us anything about the steering wheel of a spectacular Formula 1, but to appear in the banner advertising as the main slogan for buying this new edition. It shows too much, and this claim should meet minimum values that have not yet been achieved here.
Beyond this year’s main claim, Codemasters continues to rule the wheel
If we ignore the bad news regarding Braking Point, we will encounter the quality that Codemasters usually shows year after year. Technically very similar to what was seen in the previous issue, the first major contribution is the Expert mode, the counterpart to last year’s casual mode, which makes it even more difficult for experienced players. With an interface that allows us to see and manage parameters that were previously neglected, the complexity increases to an unknown level. Its impact isn’t as big as the casual mode that brought the series to all types of users, but it does it is a good incentive for the player looking for greater complexity.
On the other hand is that Career mode now allows us to play with a friend, and does it with various variables. We can start our professional career in the company To be part of the same team and fight for the Constructors’ World Championshiphaving to share the strategies and attitudes. Or we can sign for different teams We not only contest the positions on the track, but also the contracts that we can vote for based on our performance.
The sensations behind the wheel are still good as usual in the franchise. Cars are pure nerves when you deactivate the steering aids.
For his part, Real-Season Start proposes us to fully enter the current F1 World Championship. This modality invites us to replace a real driver on the grid and inherit his accumulated points and to be able to start from every Grand Prix that has already taken place. Our game will be involved in the events and results of the royal championship and we as luxury guests will have to fight to surpass the results of the selected pilot. Without a doubt, a very interesting way to approach the competition.
The last big news has to do with the mode My team that receives the “departmental events”, should make our work as team manager a little more difficult. These are critical events that affect different areas of the team during a Grand Prix and force us to make important decisions about the team’s drift. A complement to that brings a distinctive touch compared to what has been seen last year, but it’s not capital.
The routes look spectacular both in the panorama view and from the car itself.
More can be less
If you get an overview of the product, it cannot be denied that his great contribution, The Trojan horse that the developer is using to bring this new edition to players’ homes is Braking Point, its story mode. And that is a claim that will certainly work at the sales level. It’s very cute (in my case, for example, I received it with great enthusiasm). But it’s so far removed from the rest of the video game sections that it doesn’t go beyond that, it’s going to be a mere promotional statement that tells us a predictable story without mercy. Otherwise, the game performs as well as before, which is remarkable but also expected. The basis was already there and it shows again When it comes to the slopes, the Southam boys are still kings and in addition, they make them available to us a range of options that allow players of all skill levels to step into the complex world of F1. For all of this, we should die. Add Great job done to take advantage of DualSenseundoubtedly one of the most pleasant surprises.
The additions to each annual series should have a unit that goes beyond mere advertising. So i hope so Braking point improve for future deliveries. At the moment it is a novelty, one more element to add to the F1 2021 offer and that is the only value, has not existed before. Personally, if it has to be done this way, it better not be done.
F1 2021 is once again crowned as the best way to approach F1 the video game has given us so far. At the wheel, it delivers sensations practically identical to last year’s, adding several novelties to its main modalities and delivering Braking Point, a story mode that this year is its great asset to conquer the players, however does not meet the requirements of the quality levels achieved by the rest of the game. The history modes of sports games have to start taking the stories they want to tell us more seriously, if not, they better not come.
