Please use this graphic engine for ac2

Look into youtube. Drive club have the best graphic engine I ever seen.
You can imagine AC with this stunning looking!!!!
A lot of stuff on trucks and every car is about 260000 poly..

 

No, just no. Stop, just stop!

 

What's the problem with you?

 

It's quite beautiful. But that's surely not available as it's proprietary.

 

Beautiful but only 30FPS... This is a trick devs use where effects or graphical fidelity use when input and controller response is less important then looks.

If assetto corsa 2 ships with graphics that look like this or surpass it will 60fps + then we can start jumping around

 

Hah, well we can only wish and dream about AC2, maybe in the next 15 years it'll happen, with a much more professional team.

 

Much more professional? Wow, so in your opinion they aren't? In Italian the contrary of professional is hobbyist (I guess this is the right term, sorry for my bad English in case).
So Kunos team is a bunch of hobbyists, or, in other words, modders more or less.

Ok

So you are expecting AC2 from a different team, from professional people that take the rights to use a registered brand from Kunos and make a totally different sim. Unless you are expecting that a team of pro can make a sim out of a predecessor made by a bunch of modders.

But, at this point, why asking for AC2 when you can simply wish for a totally different sim from a real professional team?

So why here?

Am I wrong?

If they can guarantee minimum 60fps with those graphics, then why not? But of course this can't happen with this current AC title, there are pc requirements to keep for people who already bought the game and could complain their pc can't run AC as they used to. But if the change of a graphics engine wouldn't compromise the performance benchmarks, then of course. But how could they have such graphics engine? I think only with partnership, or depending on the price, they could get a license.

Just imagine how beautiful a Spa or Nordschleife would look on a cloudy rainy day/night with windy 3d trees. It would look gorgeous. But we are doing just day dreaming here, and that's fine. Imagination doesn't cost anything
Maybe the moment isn't right now, they have a busy schedule at least until mid of 2016. And after that is up to them, and to the technologies available, and to the money available of course.

But such a different graphics engine, this justifies a new Game. Reworking all the cars and tracks, it takes a lot of resources and can't be done between game updates.

 

That really isn't a lot these days. i would expect these modern game engines to be able to handle at least double that. Heck most standard forza 4 cars are around 190,000 - 230,000 (not including wheels and tires) the Autovista models were closer to 750,000 polygons and that's an old game now..
So yeah i would certainly hope the next gen games should have at least double what you think is a good polygon count.

 

It took a few days but you finally said something even stupider than your usual worthless drivel; this place will be so much better off once you finally get perma-banned.

Protip: IF there even does end up being a sequel to AC, the graphics engine will likely be scratch built just like the one for AC was.

 

Kinda of rude to come into Kunos Forums requesting something like this, anyway graphics in AC are good enough thank you.

 

The new Need for Speed is delayed on PC, as they want to get the graphics as good as they can and remove the 60fps cap so it can have endless fps and it already looks darn good.

 

The business model of Kunos should be to make money with the DLC's and keep improving AC until it has all the features, cars and laser scanned tracks. An AC 2 version means discontinuity of the evolution of AC, and the current cars, and always a limited number of tracks.
Why not keep improving the core, even with a new graphics engine, the same way they improve it with a new tyre model, or with a 64 bit engine. It would not be the first time AC would benefit from an updated graphics engine.
Fragmentation is not a good thing, neither for developers neither for the costumers.
And that is the big concept of IRacing, even though it is a different business model, (expensive), it just keeps accumulating features cars and laser scanned tracks.

People expect Kunos to first finish the game first, but they should understand that DLC's are used to finance the development of the game.

 

And everyone will have to own a 980 in order to get the graphics out of it

I think the thing to remember is WHY driveclub has the graphics you say it does (they don't particularly dazzle me, to each his own): they are not about the driving experience, but about flash. Boom Boom! Beautiful graphics! And then you drive the game. AC I guess graphically disappoints you...but the reason you are suggesting these graphical changes for AC2 (PUHLEASE I DON'T WANT TO EVEN THINK ABOUT THAT!) is because AC is the most superior racing game in the last 10 years at least . It would be nice to see great graphics from the game...but then what exactly would the game be about? I say put that energy into a game that physically performs 4 times as good as it does now in the driving experience. I would personally like to see AC become the greatest fan-affordable simulation of the century rather than a graphical wonder...must I point you to a certain pC...that was rumored to be a graphical titan 4 years ago, and in many ways is, but fails to retain the interest of fans in the actual driving.

 

There are a couple problems with continuing to just improve the current release of AC. The obvious one is that they wouldn't get the additional income that comes with a new release, which might be necessary to recoup the costs of a new engine. Another is that whatever they do can't increase the system requirements of the game. Sure it might be possible to make which graphics engine is used optional, but that is a huge headache from a development standpoint. They would have to test everything on both engines, and provide support for both as well. The graphics guys would also have to design everything so that it looks good on both engines, and the rest of the games code would have to cooperate with two different engines as well. They would have all the same problems with supporting two games at the same time, with the addition that fixing something in one might break something in the other. It would be even more trouble than releasing a new game. If they released a new game they wouldn't need to focus on making new content anymore for the current AC, as long as they leave it in a working state and it isn't in a condition where a significant portion of users feel like they just abandoned it to pursue a new project they would be fine. It is better than rushing out a new game every year and forgetting the old one even exists, and that strategy still manages to work for some franchises.

TL;DR If they are making something that is pretty much a new game anyway, it is better to release it as a new game.

 

Good to see so many developers with so much experience helping Kunos, well done guys.

 

For once Michael, I actually agree with you! @AC Support don't ban Michael, he's defending you

 

@Blame:

Youre surprising me again, never thought you are still able to beat yourself. lol

Nice GrafX, but if I would like to drive good GrafX I take my key and do some ride. Not saying that AC would not be better with awesome GFX (optional), but ... well we can't have everything and lot of ppl. don't care about it anyway and just enjoy the feel when driving in AC.

 

No use responding to Blame anymore, he can't hear you....LOL
