PS4 Assetto Corsa vs Project Cars.

Assetto Corsa on PS4 is for sure not an arcade racer. Just because there is no custom button mapping means not that it is an arcade racer.

 

Assetto need to improve the displays on the cockpits. In pcars every shifting light work you can scroll through the motec displays. But in physics pcars is no serious challenger. If pcars so great in physics why porsche and ferrari select kunos and not sms. I think thats the same guys who says 3 years ago gt6 is the greatest sims on universe lol

 

.3 sec difference from full aero to 0 aero on nordschleife .
300 ms over 20km .
Go figure

 

I dont think Nordschleife is the best place to test it. Too long track.

Is better to test it in short tracks, where the mistake factor is much less important.

 

I saw some gameplay videos from pcars 2 and to me it looks that they dont have a new Physik engine. The Mercedes AMG GT3 have the same issues that pcars1 had. No real feeling for the front tires. That's why people always correct the steering. To me it looks that they put more content in the game to have success by the main players. But the first gameplay footage really don't look like they will make a real hardcore sim. But that's okay for me. Because with a wheel you can overplay a lot

 

I used to play P.CARS and AC on PC back in 2014. I picked up the Xbox One versions on sale last year. On PC, I would play with the T300 set (TH8A + T3PA-PRO). I use the G920 set on the Xbox. I typically spend around an hour playing PCars, before switching over to AC for several hours. My last few laps on P.CARS are on the Nordschleife using the FR-S. My first few laps on AC are on the Nordschleife using the FR-S. It makes comparisons much easier.

If I were to put the two on a scale from 1-100 (arcade to sim), I would give P.CARS an 85 and AC a 90.*

Out of the box, P.CARS is a mess, but if you take the time to weed through the forums, and tweak the in-game settings, you'll end up transforming the game from "NFS:Shift 3" to a very capable sim. (If you have the patience to repeatedly drive around a track for hours, I believe you'll have the patience to fine tune the FFB settings for P.CARS.) So far, I've identified three areas where I perceive a major difference between the two games: road surface, kerbs (curbs?), and tires. Overall, I'd say P.CARS road surfaces feel half as detailed as AC. I been going through the FFB settings to try and tweak this, but I haven't figured it out. In the real world, I've hit kerbs many times; more than I'll ever admit. I find the way P.CARS handles kerb interactions, to be much more like my own interactions, than AC. There have been a few times in AC where I'm amazed at the lack of consequence for hitting the kerb. I can easily recover, but I know I'm not that good! I chose tires for the last, but I'm not very well versed in racing jargon to accurately explain what I feel. In P.CARS, the rear end of the car feels more likely to swing out. Unlike AC, I don't feel like I'm in complete control of the car. I chose tires, but it may be the handling, an intentional gimmick, or something else. Despite these three things, I believe P.CARS and AC are more similar than different, when on the track.

If I had to pick one, I would go with AC. However, I believe it comes down to personality types or moods. P.CARS can be much more immersive (intense?) than AC. I usually play these two at the end of the day, so I am search of something relaxing. P.CARS always seems to be on "edge." Very reminiscent of the "hardcore" vibe in the NFS:Shift series. At the end of the day, they’re both video games; buy which one suits you best, or buy both!

(I believe I'll have a very different opinion about P.CARS2.)

*I took off 5 from each due to my equipment. I do not believe these gear and belt driven wheels can pick up the very fine FFB details available in these games. I always feel like somethings missing. One of these days I'll find out! (I'd give Forza 6: Apex a 65, FM6 a 60, and FH3 a 50.)

 

PCARS=SIM RACER ASSETTO CORSA=ARCADE RACER PERIOD

 

So why then are you wasting here your time? People with such messages want only bring hate here in the community. The console version have missing options, but then to say it's a arcade racer is ridiculous and extremly childlish. I'm for free speech but this is only provocation.

 

I like AC the best but there are some things about Pcars that are fun. Rain night day.

Lately, with Jack Spades wheel presets I am enjoying Pcars a lot more. One thing in physics I like better is the weight transfer in the corners. I love to work the tire grip. Get the back end light and continue to fuel the drift around. Unfortunately AC has a flat slid here.

 

I dont think either of these games are arcade. I think assetto is more sim physics wise, while pcars has a more sim race experience. So while the actual driving is better in assetto, the race experience is better in pcars. We dont have too long to see what pcars 2 brings to the table physics wise, but im sure it will be quite awhile before assetto catches up on the racing features.

 

The problem is to bring that features needs a lot more manpower. Rain for example is much bigger challenge because in assetto the AI use the same physics. Pcars uses like other racinggames fake physics for the AI in other words simplified physics. Assetto Corsa is smaller team like SMS. So you can't expect the same.

But in reality only a small minority use that features in online lobbys. So I can wait for that feature in Assetto.

I'm not sure that kunos want beat pcars 2 what content and features belongs. Assetto cars is perfekt for a online community where you can create your own championships/leagues. This game following a other philosophy then pcars. It's pure driving. Pcars is great too.

But a lot of people forget that SMS has a history back to the modding days in F1 2002 and F1 challenge over GTR and NFS Shift. So they have a huge experience advantage what racing sims belong. They use all they knowledge what they learned in these years. Specially details like the cockpits or gforce animations. There must a lot of work be done to make a game like pcars.

I think kunos will improve over the years too and she will see great games in the future. SMS opened 2 years ago a studio in Asia so they can realize pcars 2 with all that content and new features, cars and tracks. Night and rain is great to have in the game.

 

Worst Troll ever, if not then perhaps take a moment to consider how ridiculous your pist is? Nah dont bother, troll.

 

Troll, this game is missing tons of features that the PC version has.. many easily implemented. My opinion of this game is really crap until they deliver game we expected.. your position did give me a little chuckle kid.. You go run with the sheep brown noser, I will continue until they fix and deliver game we paid for.. I use PCARS as an example of what features are in a console game that Assetto may try to lie about and say it is not possible. Ask your mommy to check your facts loser, some of us had to buy game not get it from parents.

 

Oh here is your correted post;

Worst troll ever, if not then perhaps take a moment to consider how ridiculous your post is. Nah don’t bother, troll.

You can´t judge a game without playing it, just because you saw some videos.

 

Racing game fans amaze me. Why is it always this versus that. Ive been playing racing games for 30 years and in that time ive yet to see a perfect game. Ive had my favorites over the years but that never stopped me from trying something new. Imo i hope pcars 2 brings some new and improved gameplay/features, it just pushes the other developers further which in turn helps all racing game fans out.

 

Agree with you.

Before AC, i´ve been playing FM6 and PCARS for a year and a half, and loved both, they were great products and had their goals.

Now i play more AC, but still go to PCARS, both games have their strenghts.

 

. I have played pcars 400 hrs so I can see very easy on the behavior of the car that they have not change much on weight bias and suspension physics. But they have 10 months time to improve the physics. But to me it looks like they have concentrate to put more content in the game and improved existing features. To me the car AMG GT3 turn much to quick into the corners for the weight that it should have.

 

I'm much more AC these days too, I have really started to appreciate the game, the physics, everything, I'm into it. I really want (like everyone) private lobbies sorted out. I won't let PCars go though, I don't care what anyone says, I enjoy the game with it's night, day, rain etc.

 

Right now, nothing compares on console, PCARS is better as a game, but when you go on track, when it matters, Assetto Corsa shines, and there is ho comparison, its just an amazing experience.
