The official "NEWS FROM THE SOCIAL NETWORKS" thread

Im so ****ing hangover and saw this pic so i gotta share it:

It made me feel better

edit: I was browsing trough the forum. This made me WTF:

feels to me like its just a car made in the unreal engine. if it was legit we would probably seen it drive, right?

It always makes me fun when people who even don't own AC and have unregistered accounts, tells KS or the rest of forum users what should and what should not be in the game.

 

eSports vs. online multiplayer difference?

Imo its that there is high level play, with notable money prices or possibility to gain something real, like GT Academy. And everyone (in theory, just in theory) can rise to that rank. The "possibility" of rising ranks fascinates people, so they get obsessed with your game, and obsessed with getting better at it. Like millions of bedroom guitarists, dreaming to be rockstars

For example Rainbow Six Siege seems like rising eSport. Highest level is Pro League where you can actually win notable amounts of money (not CS:GO levels yet, but something). Then Go4R6 lower tier cup, where you can try to build skills/strats/team cohesion to be competitive.

Or you can queue for ranked games with "regular plebs" in matchmaking, get matched to similar skill players. And try to reach Diamond rank. Which for most people is impossible alone, no matter how hard they try. But minimal requirement to even dream of being in Pro League one day. So imo that makes eSports, the feeling of going somewhere by getting better at driving. Even you're not really going to go anywhere, in the end.

But for big money prizes, there needs to be big audiences. And usually good eSports is indeed games with short rounds, and small teams. Automobile races are too long to be ideal eSports perhaps. But then again, people watch IRL races too. But anyway good global ranking system is imho just base for eSports, not making anything eSports by itself. After that, it requires large audiences and money, so that people can do it for profession.

 

For me ACC is like a GT Sport from KS.

And maybe they will release some old and new content when is ready (free or paid DLC) for the game likes PD with GT Sport.

 

Just imagine people racing some random other cars in a game which has "Blancpain" in its title. Just not going to happen.

 

It doesn’t have Blancpain in its title...

 

Well, who knows?

 

remember that he could very well be a console user

 

When I look at the steam store for AC it is describing* ACC not AC. Especially noticeable as it's on sale.

Seems a bit misleading. A mistake?

*In the short description under the image of Assetto Corsa on the right.

 

Seems like the most recent update post also got into the game description for some reason.

 

It always makes me "laugh".
I won't be making any "fun" for you as I give no ****s of your opinion.

 

edit

 

Correct.
I've bought the disc and digital for PS4.
I've just bought a new PC and will be buying a 3rd copy of AC, I'll also be sure to register my account so xyslog is satisfied.

 

Can be avoided by having software locks on certain unwanted combos. We have that with regard to the inability to mix modern Ferrari F1 cars in AC with others.Or in Raceroom, the so-called "Experiences" (DTM, WTCC, ADAC packs) are embedded in the mainframe of RR's architecture, while having had their own regulation and rule sets. So I think one can have - later on - content added to ACC while maintaining the integrity of the content covered by the Blancpain license. I do not see that a separate third AC game is needed just to move beyond that license with added content (DLCs).

Later content also may benefit from Kunos then having the experience with the ACC game and U4E already and not needing to spend time once again for throwing together the basic framework for a new game.

This all is why I think ACC is de facto AC2 - "AC2 as a process", so to speak. Blancpain is just the first shot fired by this new game, I think. And I feel somewhat confirmed by Marco's words of that ACC is just the tip of the iceberg. I do not think he was talking about a later, completely new game.

But that is just my reasoning. I have no evidence to show.

 

Im gonna get one of these

 

He does not say ACC is just the tip of the iceberg. I'm pretty sure ACC IS the iceberg.

He actually says

The Blancpain GT Series license is just the tip of the iceberg.

So what is the rest of the iceberg? I'm pretty sure he then goes on to describe it

By combining the potential of Unreal Engine 4 and the feedback received from our community, we are producing a completely new simulation aimed to redefine the racing game genre, improving the features that made Assetto Corsa so popular, and introducing those demanded by players for a high-level racing simulation game – with no compromise, and remaining loyal to our philosophy.

So the Blancpain license announcement is the tip of the iceberg, and the completely new EU4 based sim is the rest of the iceberg.

 

I like how she do the thumbs up

 

i got so much respect for these guys. they actually play with their lives - thats motorsport to me. rallye!
