Final gameplay deep dive for F1 24 releasing, looking at Circuit and Driver Improvements with Enhanced Realism Features

From Press Release:

Today, EA SPORTS revealed the third and final Gameplay Deep Dive for F1 24, covering circuit and driver improvements alongside other enhancements designed to elevate the realism and immersion within the game. Fans can view the third deep dive video HERE and read more about other new features HERE.

The development team significantly reworked fan-favorite tracks like Silverstone and Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps for authentic circuit accuracy. Fans will now feel every bump, kerb, and elevation change at the home of the British GP, and enjoy the new reprofiled sections of the Belgian track. Updates have also been made to the Lusail International Circuit and Jeddah Corniche Circuit, bringing them in line with their real-world counterparts.

F1 24 will also feature enhanced realism with the introduction of new in-race driver audio taken from real-world F1 broadcasts, and more varied cutscenes. In addition, the cars of all 10 teams have been meticulously recreated using detailed CAD data, coupled with Ray-Traced Dynamic Diffuse Global Illumination technology to enhance lighting, shadows, and reflections. Advancements in 2024 also include improved driver appearances, thanks to full hair rendering and improved eye and skin shaders. More Icons are available than ever before, including Pastor Maldonado, Jamie Chadwick, and, exclusive to F1 24 Champions Edition, 1976 champion James Hunt, and 7x race winner Juan Pablo Montoya. Plus, for the first time, players can embark on a full Driver Career as one of the Icons or hire them as teammates in My Team mode.
