Today, EA SPORTS has released its third and final Gameplay Deep Dive video for F1 24. The game will launch on May 31 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC via the EA App, Epic Games Store and Steam. Today’s trailer showcases both the circuit and driver improvements along with the enhanced realism features coming to F1 24. The Deep Dive trailer can be viewedhere, and more details about F1 24 can be viewedhere. The aim to provide a more authentic F1 experience starts with these circuit and driver updates, as quite a bit of attention to detail will be noticed by the player.
Attention to Detail
F1 24 is aiming for the most authentic experience possible. The trailer showcases circuits such as Spa, Lusail and Jeddah as the developers sought out to replicate the track at 100%. Changes to curbs and items on and around the track have been updated for 2024. Players will notice Spa now has a sandpit that wasn’t there previously. This also means a more drastic update to elevation changes on individual tracks, including Spa. Players can also expect circuit updates to Silverstone.
The developers have also completed a CAD scan for every car and a new facial scan for every driver. This will ensure both the drivers and the cars will look as realistic as possible. The cars will include Ray-Traced Dynamic Diffuse Global Illumination technology to really improve the lighting, shadows and reflections during both races and cut scenes. Speaking of cut scenes, there will be more cut scenes in between races than in the past. The car updates will also roll over to F2, which will receive the 2024 roster in a future update. Lastly, the team is taking racer specific audio commentary and putting this into race day. These are borrowed from real F1 broadcasts and feature hundreds of lines.
