![]() Unfortunately you cant start this from a few seasons ago like you do with Breaking Point however it does feel that a lot of this mode has had a huge overhaul but not so that it is massively obvious. Of course Career Mode plays a massive part in F1 2021. F1 2021 PlayStation 5 Review – Career Mode/My Team This is a tactic that EA have incorporated before however within FIFA, so it could be their overall voice on it. It does feel like a springboard however to further stories with Jackson and his journey as when it does wrap up, it seems very rushed and leaves you wanting to know more about the future star. The cutscenes however did run beautifully. Whether or not it has been fully utilised I don’t feel that it has as I encountered some issues with scenes flickering when there were driver confrontations or chats with the team boss. ![]() They have definitely utilised the performance of the latest gen console to a good level. The cutscenes that have been used within the story are unlike anything Codemasters have ever done before and watching them play out on the PS5 look amazing. That being said, what we do get is a welcome addition to the franchise. OK, the story itself isn’t exactly fantastic and as I have said, they could have incorporated real world events into it even if a little as it is initially set when the pandemic hit. Once you have achieved that another scene will play out. There are moments when you join the action and have to make up places on the grid. Races within Breaking Point vary from full race sessions to joining the race after a beautiful looking scene plays out on track and you have to achieve certain goals. You do get the chance to race as both Aiden and Casper, so see each drivers point of views as to what is happening within the team. This story spans over a couple of seasons, so at the end of the first season a lot of changes come into place including driver changes in teams as well as the likes of Renault becoming Alpine. ![]() The story does start with the beginning of last years season, so all liveries are from last season as well as the drivers that haven’t been unseated by you and your team mate. You meet you team mate, Casper Akkerman, a Dutch journeyman with an illustrious career that’s mostly behind him and find here is a rivalry between the two from the start after an on track clash. When you get to the Formula 1 stage you get to choose between 5 teams to race for – Williams, Haas, Alfa Romeo, Alpha Tauri, and Racing Point (which becomes Aston Martin during the story due to the name change going into he 2021 season). Think of it like the story EA always tries to incorporate into their releases of FIFA but more exciting. It would have been nice if they had tried to introduce some of the real world issues into it and to tackle how drivers have been coping with the worldwide pandemic, but it is still a strong addition to the series. We have seen attempts at a vague story of drivers competing to get into a Formula 1 team before, but never in this much depth including phone calls from the team boss, on and off track disputes with your team mate and of course the phone calls from your Mum. Yes, this has been done before in previous releases however this is he first time there is a fully-fledged story mode in the games. ![]() You take on the role of Aiden Jackson in the final race of the Formula 2 season needing to secure victory in the race to see your promotion into the world of Formula 1. It introduces you to the world of Formula 1 really nicely. Its the all-new story mode in F1 2021 which does feature familiar faces from the past. The world of Formula 1 was set to incorporate some radical changes into the rule book which included completely new car designs, however due to Covid-19 these changes were put on hold until 2022 meaning that Formula 1 has been left in a 12 month holding pattern.īreaking Point is where you will want to start the game. Thankfully the studio in charge of making the game this year has made some wonderful improvements over last years release. I had decided that I wasn’t going to let this fact cloud my judgement on a franchise that I have loved for years so much so that this year I went out and bought F1 2021 for myself rather than request a review copy. It just felt that once again EA wanted to get their hands on another cash investment that they did once have control over but without care for the actual games. The other issue for me was that in February EA acquired Codemasters. The general rule of thumb when it comes to annual releases of sports games is that they get better year on year, however for me last years release of F1 2020 fell short of the mark. If you have kept up to date with my reviews over the years you will all know that this is one title I look forward to playing and reviewing. F1 2021 PlayStation 5 Review – Can this be a championship contender? – Here we are, another year and another Formula 1 title release.
