Generic Laserscanned Laguna Seca + 6 bonus cars will be free!

Cars in the bonus pack

- Maserati Quattroporte
- Alfa Romeo Giulia QV
- Alfa Romeo Stradale 33
- Lamborghini Huracan Performante (Not 100% confirmed but guy who interviewed him in SimRacing Expo said so at least)
- 2 other cars, not yet known

All this + Laguna Seca will be for FREE for everyone which I find amazing. By the end of 2017 (on PC, a bit later on console I guess).

Also he says costs /work of producing a track, is about same as producing 20 new cars. Also kind of small hints about AC2, while he is not directly saying anything

 

Cool that should drop on consoles in 2020

Bring it up to Sony and Microsoft to be more like Steam, patch and update it any time.

 

Love you too...

 

If necessary do a crowdfunding, whatever is needed, just keep the physics model and create a new system more geared towards complex online competition. There's no one who will deny that AC handles amazingly, but it has a poor game content(specially on console). People will support a new game with more complex content and the same great handling physics. Just please, make a proper match making system, it's so much fun when you happen to coincide with some good clean players on the lobbies, but unfortunately that seldom happens.

 

Man... I've never played so many hours in a game, and it keeps getting better.

 

All that for free is brilliant.

I'm enjoying Assetto Corsa more than usual right now, thanks to the LMP1-H and MC12 GT1 from Ready to Race, that I almost don't want PCars2 to come out. Then I remember it has Le Mans and the Toyota TS020 GT-one which is one drive AC cannot give me.

I wonder if the 2 remaining cars of this new pack will also be Italian. With an American circuit included we might see some American cars. I'd happily take the Ford GT LM.

Any content coming to AC is always welcome, particularly circuits, so this will be a great addition to this fantastic driving experience.

The gorgeous Alfa Romeo Stradale 33 is certainly my most wanted part of this pack.

 

noice
soon then

 

Didn't I read somewhere that it being free is not certain yet?

 

Finally new Giulia. If I would have crapload of money, would buy that car irl.

 

Yes this was speculated before, based on what someone else who was in SimRacing Expo wrote. But this new interview confirms it was true (Marco says it very clearly on video)

33 Stradale highlight of the pack for me too. Just listen and look at this beauty:





Okay maybe it won't sound quite as that in AC Not easiest car to get real recordings of. But still very nice addition. Wikipedia says only 18 were ever made and value is now over $10 million/piece. You don't get that for free often

 

Very excited for Laguna Seca, one of my favourite circuits. Can’t wait to throw some cars down the corkscrew!

 

Crazy that it's free. You know I would be more than happy if Kunos just released 3 or 4 locations with 4 layouts like Highlands. That would add more value to me than one official real world track, and the costs would be lower.

I'm sure you've stolen this joke from somewhere.

Bear in mind its hard to plan all of those things with a starting budget of 70k. I'm sure Kunos won't be left behind now they will have a bigger starting budget. If their next project is AC2 ( why wouldn't it be ) then it won't be out before 2019 at least I'd hazard a guess, so I don't think they could leave themselves that far behind the competition by not having some sort of e-sports feature.

Also I agree, I think Kunos should consider crowd funding for tracks so they can cover all bases: Get the tracks out that we want, cover costs of production+ wages etc.

 

Lots of people value laser scanned tracks very high. When Kunos released Zandvoort (non scanned) there was huge outcry, where roughly 50% of people said it shouldn't even be in the game because it's not scanned, and 50% were happy. Later people calmed down a bit (took some time) when they noticed it's quite good quality. Sim elitists want to get the exact real track, even when they have no clue how the real track is. But they will compare to iRacing scans etc...

 

Just think, you could save up for a PC long before that

 

Well, I want laserscanned tracks too. But if we got 4 fictional locations instead then that's a win for me. SIM racers need to stop being snobs and thinking they're the real deal. They're just gamers like the rest of us.

 

So, let's see. Marco said to scan and design and implement 1 track, costs as much as 20 cars, give or take.

Seeing that a car pack has approximately 8 cars in it, with a price around €8.

I can see opportunities for a Track DLC with 3 laserscanned tracks, for €50. I would call that a fair deal and would definitely buy it!

And maybe Kunos can do the same with the Ferrari pack. Host a poll (on this forum) with 6 tracks or something and see which ones are favoured most.

 

And ironically, most of the elitists have no problem with other high quality non-laser scanned mod tracks...
Mildly off-topic rant: I love Zandvoort as a track, it's fun as hell to drive, and I have no problem with it being non-laser scanned. But the visual quality is totally reprehensible. Massive texture pop-in and brutal low-quality textures are literally everywhere. It's visually lower quality than any of KS' original tracks before they got updates

 

Then why bother with Ferrari's and Porsche's? Plenty of fictional cars would do it wouldn't they.^^

 

I dont want them to release real world tracks that are not laser scaned (on the other hand I think fake tracks are a good idea if they are good). For me it's not just because being elithist:

• It's because a conection between the real world motorsports and the game. For example (I said it once): for me it's a joy to hear a driver talking about a track and how he drives throught it and realise that he says things you also feel in the simulator. That is very difficult to do with a non laser scaned track. Or just because mezmorizing the track and use it when you watch motorsports to know where is the TV camera pointing (in tracks like RBR it's difficult because all the corners ar similar).
• It's because being able to enjoy a track no matter the game. After playing so much assetto, Pcars Nordschleife feels like sh*t. If we get Fuji, Daytona or other tracks PCars2 has laser scaned, I will be able to enjoy them more quickly when switching games.
• The quality of a laser scaned track I think it always going to be higher related to the details of the track.
• Assetto has all the tracks laser scaned except for one. Would be a pitty to destroy that statisctic.
