Nouvelle mise à jour pour F1 2011 sur PS3/Xbox360/PC

Un second patch pour F1 2011

Disponible depuis maintenant quelques semaines en boutiques sur PC, Playstation 3 et Xbox 360 (et bientôt sur Nintendo 3DS !), le très bon F1 2011 (dont notre test complet est disponible à cette adresse) bénéficie aujourd’hui d’un tout nouveau patch correctif à télécharger gratuitement.{imgbox}

Ce second patch promet notamment un meilleur frame rate et des graphismes revus à la hausse sur Playstation 3. Il est clair que la différence avec son homologue Xbox 360 était vraiment plus que palpable pour le coup…

A en croire Codemasters, ce second patch apporte de nombreuses améliorations notables, tant sur le plan de l’IA que du gameplay, sans oublier la partie graphique ou encore les quelques erreurs stratégiques qui pouvaient arriver en course (notamment lors des courses en 100%). Les développeurs ont également retravaillé les comportements des adversaires sur certains circuits, mais aussi corrigé quelques bugs du mode Coopération, sans oublier un frame rate revu à la hausse pour la version PS3 et de nombreuses retouches graphiques pour toutes les versions.
