It's not supposed to end though, there'll probably be a third installment in F1 25

@@opposedscroll7596it would actually be the 4th instalment as technically it started in 2019

@@Lain_L65 even 2019 one is still the best

@@BlueflagAlpha honestly I made a full story about the 2019 intro

Multiverse is a relentless bitch. There's no theory, just pain and hell.

they retconned the season 1 ending

They needed the rEpResEnTaTioN. I think they had a story where they continued the previous breaking point, but someone wanted a girl to save the day. So they scrapped the whole thing for sweet ESG scores.

@@Barni2212 pretty much it, sad that a lot of people don’t even know what ESG scores are and how it’s ruined media for years

I totally agree that should have been the story instead of the whole "new team with the MC being paired with the antag"

They should have just had Jamie Chadwick play herself to come in a drive in Butlers place. It could have been a power play from an engine supplier or a sponsor to get the Formula W Champion on the grid. Then animosity between Devon's dad and Jamie could be genuine and organic as he's nit happy giving his son's seat to dome outsider a female none the less. Then Aiden and Casper get to help and mentor her. You can script the races, crashes and engine failures anyway you like. Pretty sure I just wrote a better Braking Point 2 in 5 minutes.

@@purpletigerracing7087 I think I have an even better story. Butler still races for a rival team (like Alfa Romeo or Haas), amd Jackson signs for Konnersport. However, Jackson has a talented new teammate, Takumi Fujiwara. The F1 world is stunned in Australia, as Takumi gets the pole and win whilst Jackson struggles to 8th, just behind Devon Butler. This frustrates Jackson, and Butler taunts him after the race. After some more mediocre results, Konnersport are considering brining Sebastian Vettel out of retirement to patner Takumi. After a non points finish in Imola, Jackson meets a mysterious figure in the paddock. He introduces himself as "B" and he is wearing a hood, so you cannot see his face. He warns Jackson that he will have the most important race of his life coming up, but offers him advice, suggesting he takes a new line through the hairpin at Catalunya. Jackson overtakes Butler for 5th halfway through the race at Catalunya, but spins and crashes in the rain near the end. Takumi wins his 7th consecutive race. "B" returns to the paddock after the race, and he teaches Jackon how to control oversteer properly. At the next race in Austria, Jackson is in 10th at the halfway point. Rain falls, and butler has a brake failure, sending him into the back of Perez and spreading debris all over the track, causing a red flag. Butler has broken his leg, and will be out for the next 3 months. Jackson then uses the skills "B" taught him in the rain to get up to 2nd place, making it a Konnersport 1-2, but Takumi's engine fails with 5 laps left to go, meaning Jackson wins his first ever race. However, the celebratios are cut short, as Andreo Konner announces that Jackson will have a 1 on 1 race with Sebastian Vettel before the British GP. "B" tells him that he should use the outside line after the first DRS zone. Vettel will naturally move on the inside, but as the track as green, no marbles are on the outside meaning Jackson will have the grip to pass him. The race is 3 laps in two Aston Martin Vantage's, and Jackson pulls off a suprise win to keep his seat for the rest of the season. Jackson qualifies poorly, but storms his way through the field and s right on Takumi's tail for the lead on the final lap. Takumi defends the inside line, but Jakson tries the same move on the outside again. The outside is full of marbles though, and Jackson drifts. It looks like he is going to spin, so Takumi takes his natural line through the next corner. But he is jumpscared as Jackson is still there, and overtakes him for a shock win. Takumi finds "B" in the paddock after the race, and "B" tells him "Son, you undedrestimated Jackon. If saw him you would have taken the better exit out of the corner, and overtook him into the one after that". He removes his hood and it is revealed to be Bunta Fujiwara. Jackson wins the next 5 races, and is now close to Takumi in the championship standings. But, a thorn is going in his side, as Devon Butler makes his return. His car has had massive upgrades fitted for the Japanese Grand Prix, and Butler qualifies 2nd on the front row alongside Jackson. After the 2nd pitstop, Butler gets an undercut on Jackson and takes the lead, but coming into the hairpin, they collide on Jackson lands on top of Butler. nearly beheading him. Takumi wins his home race and extends his lead in the championship. Jackson is furious, and punches Devon after the race, giving him a one race ban. Bunta then gives him a pep talk "Your angry. I can see it. I want you to keep that feeling. I want to see whether you are like Takumi. When he is angry, he becomes a driving God"... Lukas Weber replaces Jackson for the American Grand Prix tto help his old buddy out. After 4 years away, Lukas struglles and qualifies 11th, but makes his way through the field and sets multple fastest laps. He is closing in and tries to overtake Butler, but Butler turns in on Lukas, wrecking his sidepod and limps home to 5th. Jackson is even more angry with Butler as Lukas could have taken points off Takumi. Jackson misses out on the Brazilian Grand Prix pole by 0.002 seconds to Takumi, which gets him even more worked up. At the race, he uses his adrenalin to get a lightning start, blasting past Takumi as Butler then pushes Takumi wide, dropping him to 3rd, which is great for Aiden's championship. Again, Butler gets the undercut though, which pushes Jackson over the edge. He makes a stupid divebomb at Descida Do Lago, and locks up, losing many seconds to Butler. A mysterious but familiar voice comes on the radio and says "You may be angry, but that isn't an excuse to be an idiot". Jackson finally recovers his braincells and passes Butler properly for the win, giving him an outside chance of the championship in Abu Dhabi. Jackson is pushing really hard for pole position, but has a big crash, which means he is sent to 20th place for the race, and Takumi is on pole. Jackson is making good progress, but it won't be enough. However, a lifeline is handfed with 15 laps to go. Jackson is in 4th, behind Verstappen, Butler and Takumi, but Takumi's engine fails again. A saftey car comes out and Jackson must overtake Butler now to win the championship. However, Butler backs Verstappen into him, catching him off gaurd and Jackson is overtaken by Hamilton. Jackson repasses Hamilton and then overtakes Verstappen, but he is 7 seconds behind Butler with just 4 laps remaining. Jackson puts in the laps of his life though, and gets DRS on the straight after the hairpin on the last lap. Butler then tries the same thing he did with Akkerman two years before, and turns in on Jackson, smashing his suspension. It seems all over, as there is only 10 seconds to Hamilton who is in 2nd. However, Jackson drifts his crippled car to the win in a close finish, winning him the championship by 1 point. After the race, Takumi congratulates Jackson. He is now satisied, as he has finally found his worthy opponent. Bunta then appears in the paddock again, and says "congratulations, you beat a baby! Now, let's see what will happen when you face a real opponent!" This sets up Braking Point 3, where Bunta is now the teammate.

@@potatogirlcultist19 you had me interested when you mentioned Fujiwara

@@purpletigerracing7087 that sounds way better

If it doesn't involve the sensational return of Romain Grosjean then it's not a good story tbh

Even Latifi could have lapped them lmao

Even Nikita would lap them

Even De Vries could

Even Mahaveer would lap them twice

Yuji Ide would complete a full race distance ahead of them

Trident is a front running team in F3 and decent in F2. Last year Drugovich won in a MP so totally possible.

@@AFTERBURNER. Trident are capable in F3, that's true, but theyre definitely not decent in F2. They're very much a backmarker team along with Charouz.

Davidoff wasn't funding Callie's junior career so she couldn't afford Prema tax. Trident is the cheaper alternative. I still see your point that MP or Hitech would've made more sense

Not so familiar with f2, what makes trident so bad? Aren't f2 cars running the same car?

@unoriginalusername7178 the cars are the same yes but the lower down teams can't afford the same level of personnel as the other teams so generally attract worse drivers.

😂😂😂😂

ESG mary sue

I have a feeling that EA/Codies are gonna have a lot of things to add within the next 2/3 years (F3, karting, classic races/cars, etc) if they gonna do BP3 that is filled with a lot of flashbacks a la Tekken 7 {e.g. Callie's training montage, Aiden's broken negotiations with the big 3 (I mean how do you justify him going from Wolff/Binotto/Horner thumbs up to being stuck in a new, hell-filled entry of Konnersport?), the reason Davidoff wants to keep Callie out of racing (childhood tragedy, perhaps)}. jesus christ i put so many brackets here

@@akmalbasyhaazis Too generous of EA.

It feels like callie is just the mental mastrubation version of chadwick, that's what chadwick thinks she is/wants to be but simply isn't and will not be so she just shoved it down everybody's throat with this trash character

This is modern Hollywood writing of a 'strong female character' in a nutshell

The snarky remarks just mean they are getting to you. And plus check the women in the world who are actually doing something, they don't make those remarks. It's just immature and plus in real life the team would make her stop that anyway

Callie: "They race me so hard!"

​@@KoeingseggCCMCallie: "He's intimidating me"

Women ☕️ chain

How dare he lol. Bruh

Not only did they sidelined arguably the best character but they replaced him with a female him in the form of his sister that is somehow more unlikeable because they try to force you to like her. So with Akkerman and Butler sidelined all we are left with is Aiden who has the depth of a cardboard box. Only in Braking Point 2 they painted angry eyes on the box and made him into an unlikeable prick. And Callie who is even more of an Unlikeable Prick. I couldn't relate to these two in anyway.

Honestly replacing Devon with Callie was unfortunate, he was the one with actual personality

How I would have handled the crash is to have Chick Hicks style dirty driver knock him out of the race, maybe due to a lapse in concentration due to pressure, and get a severe injury

It is even funnier when the whole debacle with Davidoff Butler was that they need to finish 5th, yet if we went by Jarno's established canon, Konnersport would easily be 4th if not 3rd or 2nd in the championship.

Braking Point is too easy for top players, you can win nearly every race but it’s doesn’t affect anything lmao

@@Duval-In-The-WallI won all but one race in which I got 3rd. I was thinking how the hell am I fighting for fifth rn

Casper

Casper what? Did EA assassinate this guy before he finished typing?

the only way it could get worse is if they made a love story out of it. It's EA so I wouldn't be surprised if that happened

@@florianidschok I will laugh so hard if that actually happened.

Watch Braking Point 3 be a rehash of 2007 with Verstappen winning the title

Jarno Opmeer's playthrough basically broke the whole story

It was ridiculous

😂

I know. I won 6 races for Konnersport in 2023 and they were still scrapping for 5th in the constructors..

It's why I honestly think racing games like this are probably better off scrapping the story mode altogether and focusing on a career mode where we can essentially create our own motorsports journey. The process of rising through the ranks, signing sponsors, picking teammates, driving for other teams to fund yours, developing your cars and infrastructure, choosing what series and regions you want to focus on, and essentially making your own mark in the racing world sounds like a far more compelling campaign to me than a list of overly scripted yet underdeveloped scenarios. My ideal racing game career mode would essentially be a mix of F1 Manager and the first GRID game. As for the F1 series, my opinion is that Codies would be better off scrapping Braking Point altogether and replacing it with classic cars from previous games (and adding older ones from before 1972 like the Lotus 49 and Maserati 250F) as well as the other support series like Formula 3, perhaps Formula 4, and maybe even the Porsche Supercup.

Was it really hearing or his ear infection causing balance issues? I think the latter would be pretty interesting.

@@adinakruijssen3056 im pretty sure in the email news thing they talk about Devon having vertigo

@@funnymankenny yeah, I haven't played but I've watched the story since I commented. The main issue was definitely hearing (like, how he missed radio info, didn't notice Aiden talking to him, etc), but it makes sense that he'd also have vertigo due to the issue.

And Ikea simulator (my place)

it is actually very decent

You know, I wouldn't put some of those exact questions past some of those who are in media right now.

Callie actually calls this out. It's just the subnarrative about how the media always seems to twist, bend and sometimes ignore facts just to fit the agenda.

Lombardi scored a point (may have been a half point), but given how many men never scored any points in their F1 careers, she's way up on them!

I agree but Callie actually does acknowledge that she’s not the first one in the story.

Your F122 opinion will still work for F123 - just change the colour of the text or something and it will look new...at least that is Codies/EA way of doing things

@@chad-danielsalmon983 fair enough. I've not played it, just got that opinion watching some of the cutscenes, and the attitudes on display, in them. I'm all for anyone who is good enough to be in F1 (or any sport that doesn't rely primarily on physiology - boxing, UFC, Athletics, etc). Some women have performed well in lower classes of MotoGP, for example.

In fact, even as recently as 1992 there was Amati… She wasn’t very good, but at least she existed lmao

Mate, are you dense? The way you are talking you are just angry that a WOMAN is in F1. She isn't a "Strong female character", she's a normal person who's got talent. She isn't any different from Aiden in her story of being a bloody good F2 driver coming to F1, the only difference is that she doesn't have a dick and she came in mid-season

It's stupid that they would even feel obligated to include a woman racer

@@Gl-my8fw So women can't do racing?

@@lucasgamezz140not typically on the same level.... Michèle Mouton is the only one to do it on merit and be a true force.

@@lucasgamezz140 Apparently not. At least not in open wheel cars. Show me 1 girl who would compete even in F2. I will eat my words if you can say 1. And don't say Chadwick. Chadwick's ass gets whooped every race in Indy lights, so she is nowhere near to compete in F1 or even in F2.

Callie immediately corrects them in the cutscene.

Hmm, Callie clearly has some "daddy issues"

Yeah Callie is a total dick, terrible character writing, as you say no character development and you dont feel good for her at the end of the story

Jackson basically got Nico Hulkenberg’s career 😂

That may or may not be an insult to Aardman Animation's works.

EA didn't make Braking Point

@@fkez0510 You think? XD

​@@fkez0510Really similar story structure to FIFA's the Journey

If I wanted a story with racing in it, I would go watch Initial D, Talladega Nights or Rush. Heck, even real life has better story writing than this. Sebastian Vettel had way more character development than anyone in BP2.

If you want a racing game with a somewhat decent story there’s Need for Speed, the Black Box games specifically

bias

Akkerman was dutch, lukas weber was german. Also of course Callie was going to be british, she's Devon's sister

She isnt written to be a villain but is so badly written that she is unlikeable.

Because they forget you can’t force the audience to like characters

In braking point 1 yeah you could choose, but not this time

@@FP1Will yeah I didn’t know now I got to figure out why I chose alpha Romeo
