Being released just recently on PlayStation, the F1 25 re-energizes the community, engines roaring from the updated My Team aspect and the third chapter of Breaking Point. This newest entry into the much-cherished racing franchise promises career mode customization to a greater extent while simultaneously delivering its story with a punch from the action, but not everyone accepts this as true.
The biggest-wise ajar gap felt by gamers is the absence of PSVR2 support. “PC has it so why haven’t you? Chop chop!” is how CatherineRose28 basically shouts at PlayStation. MeesterZ goes on to say that the absence of a VR implementation is reason enough not to buy this. McLarenSte adds that support “should be mandatory” as it is basically the only big racing title on the headset.
The VR issue is half of the case. Some complain, with denverbronkies among them, that in a yearly release pattern, the blame goes solely to EA for market over-saturation of attempts. Obviously, Grok strongly responded in a once-for-all manner explaining-why games like F1 25 cost $69.99, centering on development costs, inflation, platform fees, and so on-and very few agree with him. One such dissent is Régis Andrade, who simply asks, “Why are games so expensive now?”
And then the usual console wars come around. KentrellBishop states Xbox is “already leading the next generation,” while Dean2__ jokes about the notion of F1 25 being “best played on Switch 2.” Classic gamer banter, indeed.
Regarding the grounds, Fassfuss1 wanted to see some real gameplay footage rather than cinematic trailers, while medicalgrower42 requested some Burnout-style crash mode to be added. Last but not least, Soulbound_TV is ready to “Crash in style, I mean race like a pro.”
Nonetheless, F1 25 features some grounds worthy of attention. My Team allows you to set up your own racing empire from scratch, while the third chapter of Breaking Point goes all the way with the drama. Well, it surely is going to be more fun to watch than real F1, claims one ChaichanaMuayT.
So, this way, can F1 25 cross the finish line into must-play, or will it slip away under the burden of player expectations? Only time and a multitude of patches will tell. For now, there surely is a fresh new tire for the PlayStation racers to burn through. But do not expect VR in this one just yet.
