While waiting for F1 2015 game official release for this year, German Grand Prix unlikely to pursue this year when Nürburging confirmed that they cannot host the scheduled event by July 19. On the other side, Codemasters promises gamers a glitch-free gaming with higher frame rate.
Nürburging recently confirmed that they cannot be able to host the German Grand Prix by July. Thus, the 2015 Formula 1 is now officially cancelled for this reason.
Based from their previous announcement, there was already a clear hint that there is a possible problem on-going that resulted to the final decision - no Formula 1 for this year. The venue, when it was first announced, was merely listed as "To Be Announced." As mentioned, the host faced some financial troubles at the Nürburging circuit.
In response, F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone said that the said race will be set to Hockenheim again, however the latter said that they're unable to host the race because of two reasons: lack of time to organize the event and predicted low ticket sales.
Circuit spokesman Pietro Nuvolini said through in an interview, "We submitted an offer to Mr. Ecclestone but have so far not been able to come to an agreement ... Seeing as no decision has been taken in the past weeks and months, we have come to the conclusion that for reasons of time, organization and economy, it does not make sense to wait any longer."
He expressed his sentiments over cancellation of the F1 race for 2015 as it would be given to another organizer, by saying, "The time slot during which it would have been economically viable to host a Formula One race at the Nürburging is now closed. We deeply regret this. We would have liked to welcome the pinnacle of motorsport at the Nürburging. In the interest of planning certainty for all parties involved, however, we have decided to make the July date reserved for Formula One available to another organizer."
If the cancellation of the said event will be true to German Grand Prix, the race will shrink down to 19 races. Then, the Hungarian Grand Prix to take place in three weeks right after the British Grand Prix. Belgian Grand Prix will come after a month-long summer break.
Meanwhile Codemasters recently said that they might feature hybrid cars of 2014 and 2015 model cars in the HD-quality racing gameplay. They also mentioned about their plan to increase the frame rate available for F1 2015 from 45-55 per second in PS4 platform to 60fps.
"The ongoing quest for 60fps continues. On PS4 we're hitting around 45-55fps at 1920x1080 ... there are still plenty of optimizations to be made on both the CPU and GPU side and this is on-going."
With regards to the 2014-2015 hybrid cars to include in the racing game, the game developers responded to these claims through saying that the cars that they will be featuring the game will still be under the approval of the Formula One Management as well the featured teams.
"The work in-progress images were taken from a confidential internal development email. At this time, all content is subject to approval by Formula One Management and the teams." They also added that they are working hard to give the best race for gamers with an assurance of bug-free, too.
