Deep Silver and Codemasters have today released the first official gameplay trailer for F1 2020. However, and similarly to Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, this trailer does not feature a lot of gameplay footage.
According to the press release, the trailer celebrates the 70th anniversary of Formula 1 with intense racing wheel-to-wheel battles on some of the season’s most demanding circuits. It also features Formula 2 which makes its return following its successful debut last year.
In our opinion, a more proper title for this trailer would be “First in-game trailer” or “First in-engine trailer”. After all, this trailer has mostly replay sequences from F1 2020 and not actual cockpit footage. So yeah, it appears that it’s not only Ubisoft that misleads its audience.
It will be interesting to see whether those publications that criticized Ubisoft for the misleading Assassin’s Creed Valhalla trailer will also criticize Deep Silver. Yes, it’s easier to attack a company like Ubisoft (because a lot of people hate Ubisoft). However, we should at least expect publications to treat all publishers the same way, right?
F1 2020 releases on the PC on July 10th.
Enjoy!

Vettel dumped by Ferrari today!
yup
More and more gameplay trailers do not feature any gameplay. Soon games will not feature any games.
I’m afraid that this is already happening.
Nice turn of phrase.
and a lifetime of DRM…
Whenever I see Codemaster’s F1, it reminds of me of Youtuber Raycevick.
His coverage of F1 2019 really got me interested in this Ip. #TrueCarRPG
That’s all gameplay, every bit of that is in game, if you’ve never played the game before, don’t comment on it.
Cinematics in-engine is not gameplay.
Since you asked for it, I’ll call you an ubisoft shill for not using the same title for AC Valhalla gameplay trailer.
Dude, they’re selling a skin for the price of a full game and you expect them to be honest about… a trailer?
Why u need buy yearly racing game even there was better “sim” racing like project cars or asseto corsa ?
LMFAO Same Reskin Copy Pasta Game Every Year Nothing New & Charging 60$ WTF Sh*t similar like All Fifa NBA Series
“similarly to Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, this trailer does not feature a lot of gameplay footage.”
That’s not similar. AC Valhalla’s trailer featured no gameplay whatsoever.
