F1 Manager 2022 from Frontier Developments invites players to step into the shoes of a Formula 1 team manager – a role that will require hard work on and off the track. It’s not the first Formula 1 management sim, but it’s a first for a long time and players used to other sports management sims like Football Manager may think they know what to expect from this New version. This is not entirely true. Although there is an option to simulate and fast forward races in F1 Manager 2022, players will want to spend most of their time watching the races in real time, surprising even the developers.
Speaking to The Loadout, Andy Fletcher, game director for F1 Manager 2022, said the development team believes many players will experience most of the game’s races in “map view” at increasing speed – a perspective which reflects the layout of the track and all driver positions. . . shows and important data on one screen. However, Fletcher and the team at Frontier Developments were “surprised at how well you play the game in a quick-release sight.”
“You always come back at a punctual pace because there’s so much to do at any given time,” says Fletcher. “It was very satisfying to see the commitment to management from moment to moment.”
We understand that F1 Manager 2022 is truly unpredictable, but when Frontier Developments shared its first gameplay footage, one thing that surprised many Formula 1 fans was how graphically it looked. Asked about this aspect of the F1 Manager 2022 gaming experience, Fletcher said:
“It’s the main thing because we want it, if the payment is real – you know? It’s part of the excitement of watching the sport, and we wanted to match that.”
On top of that, Fletcher said it wasn’t just because they were making a Formula 1 game, it was something that was core to Frontier Developments’ values.
“I think we should try to get that element of spectacle and reward in all of our management games: amazing roller coaster parks and dinosaur escapes, all that stuff. It’s not about the numbers and data from the simulation, it’s about how it turns into something exciting.”
Regarding F1, Fletcher explained: “You can develop a rear wing that will give you a great delta DRS boost in numbers, but you want it to beat your closest opponent down the straight. It’s about that. Price.”
With intense on-the-fly micromanagement as essential to your team’s success in F1 Manager 2022 as research, development and race strategy, it’s clear that Frontier Developments’ plan has always been to try and maintain graphical accuracy. of the game. Match the details of the game. But given that your average Formula 1 race takes no more than two hours, the surprise players might want to sit down is understandable. Although, with a game that looks this good, why not?
If that doesn’t get you excited about the release date of F1 Manager 2022, maybe it’s the fact that F1 Manager 2022 will feature real racing sounds of Formula 1 teams. It will be one of the sports management simulations the most authentic on the market and we look forward to it.
