Formula 1 98 is a racing video game and the sequel to the 1997video gameFormula 1 97. The game was first released in Europe on 30 October 1998 for the Sony PlayStation, and was developed by Psygnosis which held the official Formula 1 game licence at the time.
Jarno Trulli appears on the front cover of this edition, however some other versions (such as the British version) have the 1998 World Champion, Mika Häkkinen, on the front cover, and in the United States version, it has Eddie Irvine on the cover. The British version of the front cover also has the ITV logo, the official broadcasters of F1 in the UK at the time. The game is comparable to other racing games such as Need for Speed.
Overview[edit]
Following the departure of Bizarre Creations, Psygnosis offered Reflections Interactive the chance to develop Formula 1 98. However, they pulled out to make Driver. Visual Science were hired to make the game. The game was rushed for release to coincide with the final race of the 1998 Formula One season. As a result of this the game ended up being very poorly-received by various gaming publications.[1]Despite this, the game was a best-seller in the UK.[2]
Circuits[edit]
The game features 16 official Formula One circuits based on the 1998 Formula One season plus 2 hidden tracks which can be accessed with cheat codes. One is based upon a Hippodrome, although it says 'Coloseum' in the selection screen and the other one is a Stunttrack. Yakuza kiwami 2 download.
Teams and drivers[edit]
The game features all of the official teams and drivers that competed in the 1998 Formula One season, although like with its predecessor, Formula 1 97, Jacques Villeneuve's name and image are not featured due to him copyrighting both. The game refers to him as 'Williams Driver 1'.
