Just like Sebastian Vettel is dominating the 2013 FIA Formula One (F1) World Championship, Codemasters reigns supreme in the genre of racing video games. Their long list of successful titles within the sub-genre are all among the best racing series ever produced. The F1 series is certainly part of that virtual lineage.

F1 2013 is the newly-released version in the series, and its visual excellence has already created a stir. Beauty is just one piece of the puzzle, though. Is F1 2013 just a pretty face with no substance, or the total package?

 

Graphics and Animation



If you’ve seen any of the images or even video prior to release, you already know how good this game looks. Considering we’re at the end of the life cycle for current-generation systems, F1 2013’s visual achievement is noteworthy.



With Xbox One and Playstation 4 set to release in a little over a month, F1 2013 is perhaps the only sports video game I’ve seen to make a marked improvement in graphics. Part of this is due to the fact that the game renders very few humans on screen for an extended period. We always tend to complicate things.

The human models are good, but not presented in any level of detail you haven’t seen before. The place where F1 2013 excels the most visually is in its lighting and vehicle renders. Contemporary and classic cars like the Ferrari 312T2 couldn’t be recreated more accurately.

Since the cars are the featured attraction, the stars appropriately shine bright. Other highlights of the visual package include beautifully recreated tracks from today, as well as classic courses. As eye candy goes in a video game racing title, F1 2013 can compete with or defeat any other previously released title in the genre—even Gran Turismo 5.
