@lfc_arrow It’s a quid. It’s always been a quid. Keep it a quid.

@kieran_30 @WillMurdoch_ @marcelkiefer_ But yes, handling designers don’t code the physics. And on a game like F1, which engine has been iterated and improved over 10+ years - 1 person doesn’t just rock up and ruin everything! He’s probably in a team of 5/6+ people and from past experience he will 100% be improving it

[Nick Pope @PopeNickPope]

@kieran_30 @WillMurdoch_ @marcelkiefer_ A lot of it is done side-by-side. We’ll work very closely with code and offer feedback to changes or ask for new parameters to tune etc etc. But a lot of the code will also be years old, and some will be held together with sticky tape.. there’s also a case of “different = broken”

[Nick Pope @PopeNickPope]

@kieran_30 @WillMurdoch_ @marcelkiefer_ Don’t really want to wade into this.. but I will say I worked with the guy now over on F1 and he is one of the most talented handling designers I’ve ever met, he seriously knows his shit - trying to start some kind of finger pointing witch hunt against him is insane/misplaced

It’s the most wonderful time of the year..

@Rushy33 Feels like the video should be titled ‘The Fall and Rise of DC”.. Rough start but amazing post launch support and content.

@BlackPanthaaYT After seeing all the buzz on @time_extend the other day, I had to pick myself up a copy as well. Luckily I’ve heard all the songs about 5 million times so I think I’ll get it framed.

@FlawlessC0wboy Woah! Congratulations and good luck!

@KyleMRobertson @NeedforSpeed Congratulations on the release!

Say hello to Rocco and Maggs for me!

@Yorkie065 Gutted for you, mate 😞
Such a shame to lose that game and that team. Grim..

I’m sure there will be plenty of opportunities in EA or further afield.

Good luck mate, all the best 🫡

@dbbas @JimboLacy I’d quite like to shove my £150 council tax bonus up a Tories arse. I think it’d be of better use going to local food bank instead, so I’ll do that.
