EA Sports: Here's the final 'F1 24' gameplay deep dive ahead of the big drop
May has finally arrived and while we’re weeks away from EA Sports’ F1 24 reaching the masses, it’s all eyes on the new final gameplay deep dive focusing on the circuit and driver improvements plus more enhancements designed to level up the in-game realism and immersion.
In other words? It’s all types of must-see with F1 24 dropping Friday, May 31.
The development team significantly reworked fan-favorite tracks like Silverstone and Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps for authentic circuit accuracy. Fans will now feel every bump, kerb, and elevation change at the home of the British GP, and enjoy the new reprofiled sections of the Belgian track. Updates have also been made to the Lusail International Circuit and Jeddah Corniche Circuit, bringing them in line with their real-world counterparts.
F1 24 will also feature enhanced realism with the introduction of new in-race driver audio taken from real-world F1 broadcasts, and more varied cutscenes. In addition, the cars of all 10 teams have been meticulously recreated using detailed CAD data, coupled with Ray-Traced Dynamic Diffuse Global Illumination technology to enhance lighting, shadows, and reflections. Advancements in 2024 also include improved driver appearances, thanks to full hair rendering and improved eye and skin shaders. More Icons are available than ever before, including Pastor Maldonado, Jamie Chadwick, and, exclusive to F1 24 Champions Edition, 1976 champion James Hunt, and 7x race winner Juan Pablo Montoya. Plus, for the first time, players can embark on a full Driver Career as one of the Icons or hire them as teammates in My Team mode.
