Is steam the cheapest place to buy this?

I got it from here, worked out about £8 cheaper than from steam. They gift you the game and it takes about 1 hour to get it ish.

I got it for £21 from somewhere like CD-key something

EDIT: Same place as shown in the above post

Bought it and still awaiting processing, site is Australian though so I'm guessing they're asleep.

I like the new McLaren, but it's a bit of an underwhelming update overall. Was expecting a bit more

Uncle Petey · 15 Feb 2014 at 10:44

Quite like the McLaren apart from the lift off oversteer. Keeps things interesting I guess

AI is still a lot like public lobby racing with the first corner pileups and getting rear ended, but I suppose it's good practice

Few photo mode shots i took of the new Mclaren in my favourite skin.

Beautiful shots! Supersampling really shines in this game!

I expect a lot as well, but I keep telling myself that unlike Gran Tourismo which is worked on by 200 people, AC team has only 11 ( not to mention they did not have 6 years to make the game). And all of their 30 cars are on different level to GT in terms of physics and overall fidelity (including sounds

) Their AI (with all its faults) is on a different level to GT. So expectations are good, but not too much

I wonder what is the meaning of this shot on AC facebook

Shouldn't of bothered with this, playing on a controller is horrible, I've tried all sorts of configs and settings but it still feels horrible.

Wish I had the space for a wheel but unfortunately not.

Tastes differ

Absolutely, I play with a 360 pad and it's perfect, the game even lets you set the pad up to your liking but I find the default setting great, I have a wheel and although it is inevitable I'll set it up at some point I just haven't found the need to yet as the pad controls are spot on.

I dont have space for a wheel either, I take it off every time I'm not using it and chuck it under the table, behind the pc tower. Takes about 10 seconds. I have an Xbox controller too, but it is 100 times more fun with the wheel and pedals.

Hopefully it means that the Nurburg GP track is coming in the next update.

Borsch · 17 Feb 2014 at 17:39

That is some serious deductive logic

PinkFloyd · 17 Feb 2014 at 18:19

Hope you're right on that Moody, really enjoy the Nurgburgring GP track (although not as much as the full ring obviously) Used to be one of my most raced circuits on GTREvo.

cuffylad · 17 Feb 2014 at 18:27

Yeah I really hope u are right! ;-)

Has there been any word on multiplayer of late?

barmyllama · 17 Feb 2014 at 20:21

More likely that it's a DTM car I would have thought.

In case anyone didn't know the Nordschleife will be DLC and not in the final game, whether or not that includes the GP circuit, I don't know.

NOW I get it! (doh

This is another major feather in AC's cap: it is fully open to mods! One mod is nearly ready already:

cuffylad · 18 Feb 2014 at 12:43

I don't get it? What are those images?

3D models before any texture have been applied.

Nords GP is listed on the 'tracks included' page on the AC website.

Woooo MX5

Hope it's as polished as the rest of the game! Model is looking damn nice, hopefully multiple tunes included.
