Assetto Corsa Competizione - 2020 Generic discussion

seems about right, considering games like players unknown have sold about 50 million copies and it not the most popular game

https://vgsales.fandom.com/wiki/Best_selling_racing_games

 

AC1 was 2.5 million across all platforms IIRC.

 

According to the FB post by Marco there are 3 million users with 52% on console. Hopefully at some point ACC gets a console port along with cross platform MP.

 

If the next-gen consoles are as powerful as they're rumoured to be they'd be mad not to port it over. If it runs? It'll sell. AC1 on consoles had its issues but it sold and has its following there also, and the console port unquestionably greatly contributed to Kunos' success and the release of ACC. Anything that allows the devs to improve on and add to ACC is welcome.

 

I think this game will have a hard time finding an audience on consoles.

This game tends to skew towards the triple monitor/vr headset/full out racing rig crowd which mostly does this stuff on PC. On top of that the setup and planning minutiae that we all love (tire pressures, limited tire sets, planning pit stops and fuel loads, etc) is way too nuts for the more casual players on consoles. Sure there are console players that would love it (like me), but those people also have a PC to do it (also me). With a game like GT Sport already out and GT7 coming, is it really worth the money as well as the diversion from upgrading the PC version more worth it?

Other issues are while it could probably handle the game graphically, considering how hard on the CPU this game is with a lot of cars that will be an issue. And if you allow cross play that lack of CPU power issue will limit the number of cars.

 

Kunos have the exact figures of how much AC sold on consoles. They can easily figure out how many copies of ACC they need to sell on consoles to make it profitable. Take this into account: GT Sport buyers are many more than AC/ACC buyers. If even just 10% of them has bought a wheel, it may be already enough to make it profitable to port ACC to consoles. The only issue I can foresee is that they probably need to wait for next generation consoles to fully support ACC graphics.

 

Agree this generation can't handle the graphical detail. The problem though is ACC is a much different game than AC or GT Sport in that there is only one very specific class of cars, limited set of tracks etc. I mean even reviews of it on the PC described it as a niche racing game, as well as it being quite difficult due to the realism for people, especially those using Controllers instead of wheels. It would be interesting to see how they solve the problems related to putting such a title on a console. I had Ferrari F355 Challenge on Saturn which IMO was awesome, but did poorly compared to games like Daytona USA, Sega Rally, Sega Touring Car, etc because it was just way more realistic than people were used to.

 

Have you seen this? I didn't. Nice surprise.

What else is hidden out there?

 

As long as it’s marketed very clearly that it’s GT3 only (some still don’t understand this on PC) perhaps with the ICGT content from the off then I think it could do really well with the GT Sport crowd. I think bolstering the number/frequency of the Championship servers and ensuring the Championship mode is rock solid is needed though. The motion control support for gamepads in GT Sport is brilliant (best I’ve played), if Kunos could add similar/as good to ACC it would be great for those without a wheel setup.

 

Anyone else think the sky/clouds have a strange look since 1.2, they seem to suffer a bloom effect abit, and some of the clouds have this blueish grey edge to them, and there is alot more cloud popping going on as well.

 

Sadly it's been there since EA..

 

I think the weather has always looked wrong. They do need to do some overhauling and adding detail for the weather.

 

If your like me and were unaware that nVidia has a new latency option in their driver you may wish to check it out. Its called "low Latency Mode". I lost some performance in ACC and I was not sure why. By default the new drivers I recently installed has this set globally to "Ultra". I just presumed the performance I lost may have had something to do with all the new updates however now I know. I was not too stressed because recently I have been running 60 FPS V-Sync rather than uncapped.

Thanks to @xaotik for putting me onto this..

@Serge M this was what I wanted to check out

 

I’ll give it a shot tomorrow. All raced out for today...

 

My 1080ti is on the latest drivers, 442.19. Not sure of your system, but Low Latency Mode defaults to "off" for me.

 

weirdo..

 

So, according to an interview with Marco, at some point, a Roadmap of the 2020 content will be shown. Nice.

Right ! Some people who bought the game actually never played it... Just look at the general achievements stats on Steam : only 59.5 % of the players got the 100kmh achievement, which is given for, basically, going at 100kmh in any car

 

Actually not correct, I use ACC almost everyday for a couple of hrs, but SP off line
