F1 2009 positioned on November grid News
Wii PSP News by Robert Purchese
Codemasters has slapped a 20th November date on PSP and Wii racing game F1 2009.
The announcement arrives as real-life driver Jensen Button attempts to seal the real-life F1 2009 title this weekend in Japan.
To mark the occasion, Codemasters has raced around F1 2009 on the Japanese Suzuka circuit while recording a film and taking some pictures. Those you can find in our F1 2009 gallery.
The Wii version of F1 2009, remember, comes with a plastic Wiimote-holder peripheral. It looks authentic.
F1 2009 is Codemasters' first attempt at the official licence since acquiring the rights last May. We had a go with the Wii and PSP game earlier in the year - check out our hands-on piece for a full analysis.

Shame we have to wait until next year for the 360 version... Specially as a lot of the racing regulations are gonna change next year and the game will probably only include the rules from this year. Be great if they could do a 2010 edition with all the new rules and with the drivers/teams correct for the 2010 season, instead of being out of date by a year. Go Jenson!! :)

Strange how the Wii version has been given priority over the PC, 360 or PS3 versions. Somehow I find it hard to believe that that many Wii owners will be that interested in F1 and that it will only sell in large numbers on the more powerful systems. Did DiRT 2 do very well on the Wii? I know it got some scathing reviews but Wii owners don't tend to pay much attention to those anyway.

This game could really push my Button.
Alonso be interested to see how the PSP and PS3 version differ, or Webber the PSP is a 'lite' version? I Vettel Codemasters make a good job of this. They're legends, and GRID was ace. /Expects lots of negative Karma :) |

OP the majority of rule changes were last year. Next year is more of the same with no re-fueling at pitstops (they are still stopping for tyres) and FOTA opting to abandon KERS. Throw in a few driver moves and new teams but otherwise it's as you were.
Can't wait for next-gen F1 on 360/PS3... *drools* |

With only 3 of the 13 teams keeping the same driver lineup for next year it's all change really.

Regarding the no fueling at pit stops, the cars are going to need to have a longer wheelbase to accommodate the larger full tanks, which means a new car basically, so major change. It could end up replicating this season with regards to some teams making better design choices than others and bending some rules to their advantage. It also means that that first corner pile-ups could be interesting with all that extra fuel/weight being carried.

It's got a game destroying bug that makes it crash and it's most noticeable when cornering. Apparently a patch will be released just after launch to correct the Piquet bug.

The F1 game released on the PS3 a couple of years ago still gets played by me on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Didn't review too well at the time, but I think its a cracking effort.
An F1 game using Codemasters awesome graphics engine, assuming its the same one used in Dirt and Grid, will look gorgeous. Just a shame real life F1 is so shit these days. Lewis Hamilton - wanker extraordinaire. |

/reminisces about F1GP on the Amiga and hopes for an F1 game he'll be sinking as much time in.
Or, better not actually. I'm pretty sure I lost a year in school due to F1GP. |

Wii owners are average joes and those LOVE racing, especially F1. Did DiRT 2 do very well on the Wii? I know it got some scathing reviews but Wii owners don't tend to pay much attention to those anyway. They do pay attention to their friends saying a game sucks or rocks though and that appears to be a strong influence on Wii sales. One casual buys Dirt 2, sees that it sucks, tells all his friends who tell their friends and so on. |

An interesting prospect. Odds of Codmasters slipping in their 'rewind' feature into the new F1 games? Could ruin it but there were manys a time in previous F1 games that I wished I could retry a corner after an overly ambitions overtaking manouver.
Also, hope they do something to level the playing field in 'wet' races. I've always found myself lapping much faster than the AI in them. Oh! And some good damage moddling would be nice. |
