Generic The ONLY PS4/XBox Assetto Corsa review you'll ever need!!!

This is hands down one of the best (read: most honest) video reviews I've ever seen about a racing game or sim. Are you doubting to buy AC on PS4 or XBox One? This is THE review to watch! All honest issues both pro and con from a fellow sim racing enthousiast from Inside Sim Racing.

Kunos devs! Please watch this review as well, John from ISR brings up some valid working points for this fantastic sim racing game, just about everything he mentions that could be improved are things which I agree on completely!

I am pleased to have watched this review. I am having huge difficulty with the game, but to see some decent driving on here shows me that fine driving is attainable.

 

It is a good review, it is just a shame that he (and most the people watching) doesn't understand at all why a tiny dev team can't do the things that a massive team like Turn10 can do. Still a good watch though.

 

Way too long a review for my taste, but points seems valid.
Oh the irony of making a statement of your skills, then crash 15sec later

 

At the end of the day it doesn't matter does it?

If Michelangelo is a painter and decorator in your town competing with you, you can't say "Well, we're not as good as he is"
Unless there's some other aspect to your service that justifies that - like you're cheaper etc.

I think this is something No Man's sky are just realising. Make it a $20 indie game great, pretend it's a $60 AAA title. Oops.

Don't get me wrong I think the PC version of assetto corsa is great, although I had a 50% coupon.

There really is no valid competition in terms of game polish and content on PC. They are all flawed and most are actually
worse. They would probably all use the same reasoning for that.

It's nice to see honest reviews. I think the people that really need to watch this review are not Kunos, but the various
Italian publications that I can only assume give AC high scores because they are Italian too. It makes it farcical
looking at metacritic because it's so blatantly obvious.

Not Kunos fault, of course, I'm sure. But I wouldn't give these guys review copies because the practise can't do you any good as a developer.

 

The core of the game is solid. UI, performance and features need work. I'm sure Kunos will sort that out in time but reviewers can only review the game that is in front of them.

 

$20 Indie game that has licensed Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini, BMW, Mclaren, Mercedes, etc, etc along with licensed laser scanned tracks and professional grade physics combined with world class FFB.....

 

I fully agree, for me Assetto Corsa is certainly not an indie game, it's right there up with the best racing games on consoles. And as someone already said elsewhere, the very core of the game, the racing and racing physics themselves are truly outstanding compared to the likes of Forza and Gran Turismo. Polish, UI improvements, button mapping improvements, checkered flag finishes, more cars and more tracks, multiplayer improvements etc. are all things that can be added over time in the future. But the core racing feeling is something that rarely changes in a game. Just look at Forza, they have basically copy/pasted the car behaviour from FM5 straight into FM6. In fact FM6 is nothing more than FM5 with more cars, more tracks, a new UI and leagues. And the overal racing feeling in Forza is way too much arcade. It's in fact nothing more than a difficult arcade game that looks like a sim.

 

Yeah. 20-30€ would be ok.

Or release a demo, but I assume there are reasons why they didn't released one.

 

I haven't heard a negative thing about the physics on console. What worries me as a console owner and soon to be player of this game is the removal of features that are present in the PC version.

Console does not have the same setting options for wheels that PC has. They also removed the option to customize the grid and replaced it with a simple toggle feature. Physics aside those are the things that set AC apart from PCars and Forza. I wanted a racing game that I could set up my own custom races in an offline lobby without feeling restricted in what the game allowed.

I'm cool with a limit of 16 cars on the grid if I can choose what those 16 cars are. I don't care about day/night cycles or weather as much as others do. Not having the ability to customize the grid or the ability to map my controls to what I want on my wheel, or even see what my throttle, brake, or clutch inputs are is extremely disappointing and contradicts Kunos message that the game would not be dumbed down from console. Removing those features and options is doing exactly that.

I'm not jumping ship. I want AC to be the best racer on console. I really hope Kunos adds those features and options in for console players, because those things, along side the physics are what separates AC from PCars and Forza.
