The official "NEWS FROM THE SOCIAL NETWORKS" thread

It's tomorrow

 

Come on let's give @Lord Kunos a break. It's 08:30 there i bet he's still coding for today's release

 

he can have his breakfast alright, but I need the changelog to make it through the day

 

no changelog we're on strike to do company affairs. EU will go down till that

 

The Kunos's release days...

The await before the changelog...
Come back home, run Steam for the download, reading the first comments on the forum...

What a glorious days!

 

Agree totally but its all part of the mentality of needing something new and shiny every 5 minutes. AC still has much more to offer and plenty of life left in it. I mean, by the end of the year we might have 10 laser scanned real life tracks and 30 new cars, night racing with working headlights and a whole host a new and exciting features. With every update we are getting or DLC, this is pretty much what we are getting anyway. I don't see people asking for an Iracing 2 and I see no need for an AC 2 either.

 

removed I never "prophecised" anything, I just thought that it had a long enough lifespan for Kunos to focus on something else (and I would've been glad with how much content support AC has had over the years), most developers do that.I'm enjoying the content, I always have, this community is so god damn protective or criticising.

Very good point you make: I don't see anyone asking for iRacing 2...it's one game constantly developing.

To me, the "2 this, 3 that," etc. games always feel like reboots--and this implies a failure or mistake or something else negative. Assetto, though it has drawbacks, has no real issues at its core. Hence, the game to me is one product, constantly developing. This is not unlike a car throughout its racing life. It doesn't become another car, merely improves as best it can. And unlike a car, a game can improve by leaps and bounds without BoP or other such restrictions.

 

We should consider ourselves lucky that - as full grown men - we still allow ourselves to get as excited about our favourite toy as a kid on Christmas eve.

Surely we can also act up like these kids too if it's the wrong present but still...let's appreciate the Peter Pan attitude

 

AC2 is desired because it is the only way that a 24 hour day/night cycle will be possible. Although the odds are extremely long, rain and RealRoad™ could actually be implemented into AC v1.x. Night could not.

 

No need for changelog, power restriction is all the changelog I need I wonder what the changes to the ballast system will be. Hopefully automated success ballast. Cant wait to find out!

 

Hmm, interesting... this pic of the upcoming DLC has now player tags, and looks a lot the the console UI - I wonder if this has been updated or it is just a pic of the console version.

 

nah your guys are lucky, I won't be home from work till 7pm. But Steam is running to at least get the patch in time.

 

Don't bring the hopes

It would be too much work overall, probably 100percent of the content should be revised for that, not only coding, and perhaps insane amount of coding too. Night obviously isn't going to come because of multiple light sources being unavailable, but wet track has its demands for engine too - such as cars being reflected on tarmac, lights being reflected, reflections being rendered in distance, spray eating performance and so on...

@garyjpaterson wow, thats really nice feature, I'd love this flags feature.

 

The difference between men and boys is the price of their toys.

 

haha oh but it gets better, exam this Saturday so im pretty much gonna have to wallow in self pity while all the cool kids are having fun with the new dlc.

 

What does that "1" before the driver's name means?

I didn't expected multiclass for this update, but does that mean that the improvements for AI's ability to overtake slower cars are also not included in this update?

Just thought so cause I read about it a few times.

 

Damn that's a great update.
