Generic Kunos reveals details about upcoming Porsche packs + new free track

Some details in there I thought console users might be interested in too:



So, for consoles as soon as approval process is done. Silverstone '60 track layout:



Also, on forums it's been heavily rumored that next track will be Laguna Seca and Marco throws some more fuel into the fire here. Looks pretty certain now:



Also he released this nice screenshot of Porsche Carrera S:

 

YES! I bloody love classic silverstone

 

awesome epic update and dlc incoming season pass i have is ready!

 

So, my question is, has the DLC already been submitted for approval on consoles? Or will it be submitted on October 25? I would like to hope its the former, but who knows?

 

Laguna Seca, I can't wait!

 

Would assume it's going to be later for you guys, probably November. Don't think 1.9 for PC is ready yet, and 1.04 will most likely come for consoles with the DLC release. Might take a while.

 

I personally am not a fan of Laguna Seca but I do welcome it. I'd really love Bathurst though. And I mean REALLY love Bathurst.

 

At first, I disliked Laguna Secs. Then, after completing several races (in Gran Turismo, of course) I learned the sweet spots on turns. I look forward to driving it in AC.

Edit: corrected a misspelling

 

As I have understand that, they will send the data to ms and sony, when they released the pc dlc. Otherwise they should have say that the console dlc will come later. So I count with 7 to 14 days after the pc dlc.

 

Why make a new thread since it's a thread for news from the social network, just to pass of the moderators and close it like every other thread?
Just a thought.
First we got the modding section closed, what the chitchat section closed as well?
I'm not saying because of this particular thread, don't get me wrong, it's the sum of all threads.

What about the Red Pack? I was under the impression that it would be released before the Porsche packs. Has that changed, or was I mistaken?

 

Console players can't read that (Chit chat room is for Steam registered only). However there was 1 post about this before I posted, which I didn't notice.

 

Classic Silverstone is a blast! The ideal stomping ground for the 49 and 312T !!
Thank you Kunos, this really is appreciated.
Free tracks? I'm not used to this.
Any plans for the original Spa? (Free or otherwise?)

 

Marco and Stefano confirmed that they've laserscanned what's left for a historic version of Spa, but It'd require too many resources (especially time, 6+ months) and they cannot currently afford that.

 

That's a shame. Jackie Stewart said himself that it was a "bigger test than the Nurburgring".
Probably why he got it struck off the GP calendar!
Seems it is still testing people to this day. I remember it in GP Legends on the PC in the late 90s. It was a fantastic track......when I wasn't upside down in someone's garden.

 

I love how everyone gets excited about new stuff, cars and tracks you can't beat it. But hold on a minute how about finishing of the original game first, track limits on all tracks online, a leaderboard for time trials. How about private lobbies so you can race all this dlc online, how about a free app to actually see what your cars doing while on track or even better add it to the game it is a sim isn't it. I personally are not interested in anything new for this game until the original one is finished.

 

New content is typically a separate part of the production pipeline to core code , Aside from when new content requires new features say specific tires / car features / specific car code.

So for the most part Tracks and Cars are separate to things like - Net code , lobbies , UI (fetures) , track cutting rules and other components along those lines.

I agree though personally I'd love to see way more core features/core development than new content, as I'm more into just racing and given that sim-racing is not really like real driving I just see the cars more as physics objects with certain properties rather than an "opportunity to drive the real thing"

In the end I think all that core development falls on Lord Kunos and like a cat basically he does what he wants, sometimes that's being nice and playing with the expensive toys you bought it, other times its decapitating mice and placing them on your bed.

So from an end users stand point though it may be frustrating at times you have to just try and enjoy what you have at this point in time, kindly ask for the cat to do what you would like but not expect it.

All said and done AC has delivered and offerd way more than it was originally going to and for the price you pay I think its good value for money.

Also people are always excited by new shiny stuff that's just human nature, I think most of them would also want other core features as well but as the new content is something confirmed and about to come out its something they can look forwards to and talk about.

I just wish winter would come sooner so the car stops lying on the wall and puts official Open VR support on the game !

 

This thread exists becuas console users are not allowed to post in or even read threads in the chit chat section...I'd suggest you check where a thread is located in future

 

Oops, my bad,

Tracks are done by 1 guy, who isn't working on what you described. Cars.. Aris does the physics, don't think he has anything to do with that either. Stefano is the main programmer, but still.. AC is still developed mainly on PC. None of that stuff you mentioned is a problem for us, and community has been waiting for Porsches eagerly. So it's going to be released anyway on PC (already delayed by a month), adding it to console is a "side effect".

On PC a new version of the game and DLC have always been released simultaneously, I don't know if it's going to be the same thing on console. Would assume so.

I'm waiting for 1.9 just as much as the actual DLC, possible (non-confirmed) improvements are Tyre Model 10 for more GT3 cars, custom championships, possible AI updates. Plus confirmed Fmod (sound) updates. Maybe some progress on brake temps. I have no idea how much of it will translate to consoles, and when, possibly (?) with the Porsche update. And classic Silverstone was announced to come out this fall for PC, before console version was even in stores. They work for several months on each track.
