Ready to race

I stoped reading when you called me fanboy.

I will not attack every time Kunos and when they release an update say "Oh Kunos, you are the best, I love you" which is pathetic. I defend what's reasonable. When it's reasonable to critize them, I do. When it's rasonable to praise them, I do.

Keep on that attitude and see if the devs take you seriously.

 

so my answer was unreasonable for you, i only told what happened every time with console patch.

 

On pc they can throw out updates when/where/how they want. On consoles its more difficult.

 

ps4 ON right now, another war thunder patch at same pc time. (1.74)
Last week (1.73).
Kunos can explain why they can aside you.

 

The updates have to be ported by another team. Stefano codes, then the console team port. The only way possible for them to be released alongside PC is by holding the PC updates back, which I see no reason to do. Why is it necessary to have updates parallel to PC? For which the game has been out longer? They've had to wait 4 years to get to this point whilst console guys have wait less than one year to be just one update behind. What the hell is the big issue? What is going to happen to you if you have to wait longer on console?

I also suspect that warthunder has far less complicated physics which could have more than one coder without compromising workflow or integrity of the product. As well as less licensing issues for console.

So how do you propose they be released parallel to each other without holding the PC back? It's impossible unless Lord Kunos ports it himself, in which case you would have far more to cry about updates and content would take far far longer to arrive.

 

although I explained this many time.. one more time won't hurt anybody so here we go:

The big problem with Assetto Corsa is that the 2 sources for the PC and console version are not on the same branch. This happened because the GUI and the general user interaction on console had to be completely redone from scratch to adapt to the pad & TV. We tried to keep the code aligned for the first part of the port but had to give up 7-8 months before the initial release.
This is the price to pay to port a game that made very heavy usage of typical PC technologies such as browser in window for the GUI, assumed mouse control everywhere and so on... other games that are designed from the ground up to be portable don't have this problem and can all be developed on the same branch reducing the amount of work that goes into a port.
Is this ideal? No. Is this good? No. Are we happy about it? No. Can it be changed now? No.. so you either learn to live with it or find another game to play.

on to the next time I'll have to explain this

 

I see almost all your posts and this is the first time I hear it. Thanks for the info.

 

But now you know what to do for Assetto Corsa 2

 

def won't make the same mistake again.

 

You mean making a console version or mistakes in form of bugs?

 

Ciao Stefano , 2 points :

1 - It would be really beneficial if what you just explained to us was on the first page of this forum as announcement , I didn't know about this architecture issue and I bet other gamers are still trying to figure out why our Console Version will always be behind ( at least for Assetto Corsa 1).
Let's just announce that Console and PC are NEVER going to be aligned. Let's hassle for everyone.

2 -I want just to point out that you might have sold 1.4 millions of copies across all platforms but I think console gamers should be treated with more respect. ( when you say "so you either learn to live with it or find another game to play")
Thanks to our critics you develop a better quality game and remember as you sold 1.4 millions, that figure can go out within 3 months .. so ,as suggestion, let's all be humble in this world...

 

You're right Stefano. I agree with you. The console version (Ps4 in my case) should not to be named Assetto Corsa, because it is a different product. After transfer from PC to PS4 I'm a little disappointed (to put it mildly).

 

Thanks for the info, it's always good to learn more about the software/product you use.

 

Un bel regalino di Ferragosto, magari..

 

It will. But what very soon means your mileage may vary...

No and we wouldn't want dates or certainly to have pressure that might result in something less perfect. But I do think it should be possible to give some very wide time frame, I mean weeks? A couple months at most? 6 months at most? Whatever. The game is the best thing I have to play as it is so I can't cry if a new update or DLC doesn't pop up the next time I turn my PS4 on- well, maybe cry a little. But it's hard to think something might come out tomorrow or that far away and no idea which is closer to reality.

It's understandable if the PC guys get them a bit sooner than us. Good. They can test 'em for us! Last one I have is the Porsche Pack 3, also the other Porsches, the Japanese, Red, and Prestige. Version 1.14. Am I up to date?

Much real world stuff on my mind of late so still not that familiar so please accept newbie excuses for any faux pas aborve,

Regards,
Rick
