Let's play Game Designer

Why don't you just disable comments? That way the poll turn into a poll and not a wishlist...

 

Can I wish for reading comprehension?

To be fair it's a very long thread and you can't expect people to read every post. These peeps coming in late might have missed the warning. If it was in the OP it might get spotted.

 

At this wonderful time with HTC VIVE and Oculus Rift definitely VR Support!



Edit: Playing in VR makes much more fun i want this Experience from Project Cars (http://plays.tv/s/KkJbdDtYwlu4) also here in Assetto Corsa.

 

The link that everyone here has in regards to AC is that we ALL enjoy driving (racing games).

Not all of us like pitstops, not all like competing against others, not all like brake fade, not all like false start penalties, not all like weather or night time racing, not all like championships, but we ALL like to drive a car around a track whilst sat in our computer rooms.
This is why having VR can be a little unfair to those who want these things, because VR can meet everyones demand (no matter which other option you want to see) because at the end of the day it is aiding what we ALL want to do (simply drive a car).
VR will still make the driving experience better for all including the lone 'time attacker', the Sunday driver who does it for fun or the hardcore sim racer, where ALL of the other choices are a little more niche.

I chose VR because to me it is more important than having a 'monitor' as one of the choices.

It will create more money for the developers because even those with little interest in racing games may buy it due to the lack of choice out there for (released) VR games.
I know I have already bought a few things I have no interest in just to experience VR, and I am sure others will do the same.
More money has got to benefit all the players of AC and not just those interested in VR because the extra cash can go towards the time needed to implement the other choices in the poll.

As for it being expensive, then it doesn't have to be. You don't NEED a CV1 at £500, you can buy a DK2 for a couple of hundred, which is the price of a lower range monitor, a months or 2 supply of cigarettes/alcohol, 2 or 3 nights out, a decent gaming chair or steering wheel setup. It can also be ran on a fairly modest set up too.

 

I really don't know why Lord Kunos and others have such a huge problem with "wishlists". On the one hand this thread is in the Chit-chat-section of the forum (so only offensive posters should be banned IMHO) and on the other hand all the posts in this thread have zero consequence for the poll-result (no matter what people write, only their single choice in the poll counts)...
I hope I won't get banned just because I used the word "wishlist" in my post (2 times!)

 

My wishes are not listed here. I wish more realistic damage both mechanical and aesthetical, redesigned single player mode, more realistic braking especially on road cars.

 

i think rain and day/night is importent for a simulator

 

VR

 

ok you win.. I will just ignore this thread from now on.

 

Nice going guys. I wouldnt blame anyone for not reading my posts, but did you really miss all previous appeals from OP?

 

I think all of them are crucial to making AC the simulator of choice but as far as immersion goes, VR takes the cake by putting you directly in the seat of your favorite cars.

 

Wow so many people are just looking for EYE candy well if you don't have a solid foundation in the end it all just goes to Crap.

Not being able to control steering and brake pressures is so integral in ANY good setup.

Everyone has hopped on this crazy VR bandwagon but let's be honest how many are really going to drop $600 to actually get it Hmmmmmm.

G

 

Already a bit more than 300 000 guys in fact (including DK). And still growing. Hmmmmmm.

 

If you think that VR is just eye candy then you are gravely mistaken.
In fact most people have to reduce the graphics setting to get it to run smoothly, not only that but the resolution isn't even that great in VR either.
VR goes WAYYYYY beyond eye candy....
It is PUTTING YOU IN THE SEAT of the car. It is blocking out ALL outside distractions and concentrating your focus DIRECTLY in to the game itself. It is the NEXT BEST THING to actually BEING THERE.

I defy anyone to try VR in a race and not come out with sweaty palms, not have that feeling of panic and pressure when someone is trying to cut you up on the inside and you cant help but glancing over your (actual) shoulder to see where they are, to not move your head up/down/left/right to get a better view in your mirrors (despite it not really helping because the image position is fixed, but you just cant help doing it), not to keep lifting your head in order to see your front wheel so you can clip the apex that little bit tighter, not to wince and tense up when you get the corner wrong and slam into the Armco barrier.

VR is NOT eye candy what so ever, its FAR more.

 

16 million VR units are expected to sell this year alone.

Also, for many of us dedicated simracers -
$1000 simrig setup w/ racing wheel, pedals, shifter.
$1000 in three surround monitors w/ stand.
$3000 computer to get ~120FPS at 5970x1080+ resolution.

When you really think about it, $800 for a VR headset is just a drop in the bucket.

 

number one wanted feature for me is better transmission model, i mean dual clutch simulation, realistic timing and rev matching, transmission flex etc, but i understand it's not that easy, i voted for engine stalling, that's also very notable, gl kunos, great work

 

The immersion of VR is one thing, but a more practical benefit of VR is the spacial awareness you get with 3D. I've played around with 3D on my Triples and your ability to hit apexes and pass cars inches away from their bumper increases ten fold. It's provides HUGE improvement to your driving ability because it's another sense you have in real life that you don't get looking at a flat image. I voted for VR and am excitedly waiting for my Oculus Rift to arrive.

 

Please don't vote VR, still to do a lot of important things to improve the simulation.

 

Track day mode? Like in track days you'll get traffic but you don't race each other.
