Assetto Corsa Competizione

I wasn't referring to you personally, Tony

Anyway, like I've said in multiple other posts, look at this as a controlled beta for AC2. Let them iron out the kinks with a new engine and multiplayer system etc, then they can get to work on sorting out content for a proper sequel.
It's fair to say that they've gone with GT3 as it's easily the most popular type of racing in public lobbies.

Also, you'll find that I kind of agree with you.

As for ACC, I'm hoping modders don't take too long to figure things out. GT3 is great fun and offers brilliant racing, but the limited content is gonna get old real fast.
Other than that, looking forward to it.

well i dont know about that . assetto corsa i put in a lot of time in just on nords.so ten tracks or the like is fine if they decent.

Uncle Petey · 10 Sep 2018 at 21:28

Yeah, well that's you...
I've also spent a hell of a lot of time Nords. So what?

Also, who's talking purely about tracks? We're talking about a single car class.

Yep I get ya mate, not sure why i quoted you, it wasn't aimed at you personally, just quicker to tag the topic for reply. Wasn't really thinking all that straight. Im keen to see how it looks though, will probably end up buying just because it's a racing game.

If we can get a proper SIM racer on PC like Assetto Corsa with the jaw dropping visuals of Gran Turismo Sport with days of content and an Iracing style multiplayer, I'd die a happy man.

well you were saying it will get boring very fast . i was just saying the opposite. if the tracks are good thats more than enough.

Uncle Petey · 11 Sep 2018 at 00:15

Well, we can drive all those tracks and almost all of those GT3 cars in AC right now.
If you're happy driving nothing but GT3, then good for you. I like them as much as anyone else, but variety is the spice of life and all that...

Btw, do you actually race online?

ED: Remember that you're only gonna have one car and one track for a month. In 6 months, you're still only going to have 6 cars and 6 tracks.
While it's gonna be sweet to have proper day/night and (non-dynamic for now) weather + shiny new graphics and improved multiplayer, I really don't get why some people are already dropping AC for this...

Looking at the Roadmap I'll be skipping this and may pick it up next year some time on an offer, or when they have enough content to appeal over base Assetto Corsa. Good luck to the devs though, I hope it works out well and provides a good basis for an AC2 with a much wider appeal.

roddypoddy · 11 Sep 2018 at 18:20

The dev's have done us proud with AC,so getting this for sure.

lokiss · 11 Sep 2018 at 18:22

I just don't understand why people over at RD are claiming competizion to be the bargain of the century. I hope it's great and carries the great legacy forward that Corsa has built, but ill wait for a test drive. The engine swap could give it a totally different feel. I like Pcars 2 but for non of the reasons I like Assetto for.

Nice 1 Oldphart cheers, looking forward to this, especially in VR. Hopefully the menus and stuff work in the headset.
