Ps4 version imminent?

I could be wrong, but aren´t physics handled by the CPU and the graphics by the GPU? I know they are related, obviously, since they are both dependable on each other but I was led to believe that PC physics are more than possible on consoles due to this situation.

Also, DX12 will make the port to the Xbox One easy. If MS isn´t lying. Right Aristotelis?

 

yes it is.

 

So, I spy with my little eye:
Audi R8 LMS Ultra
Lamborghini Countach
Nissan GTR Nismo
Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus SCG 003
Toyota GT86
Ferrari F1 Car (dunno what year! )
Audi Sport Quattro

 

That's all I saw in the trailer, my eyes lit up when I saw cars not in the game.

I wonder would the Ferrari F1 be competitive with the Lotus T125 or would they be worlds apart?

 

I think the real F1 car will be much faster but I don`t know.

 

I guess we get the F138 now since the "public" Ferrari simulator was updated to a new 2014/2015 car? http://simulationcenter.ferrari.com/book/

 

This is a genuine question: for those claiming that there will be 'dumbing down', 'pandering' to the console market to the detriment of us PC users because that's what 'always happens' - care to provide a source? I might very well have missed or overlooked something but I can't think of any existing titles that were released as a 'proper' sim and then simplified to sell more units on another platform...

I can't see much of a downside to this - but when I saw the video pop up on my YouTube subscription list my first thought was "oh, the forum folks are not gonna like this...!" That was shortly followed (and over-ruled) by "mm, shiny new things". Congrats Kunos, wish you every success with it.

 

Project Cars springs to mind.. , although you wouldnt of known that unless you was in the early development team

 

project cars is a different case, from my understanding. its a much more complex tire model &, from what the backers say, it was actually simplified for dual-core PCs & not consoles.

either way its apples & oranges as AC is known for having a relatively simple tire model & pC for having a very complex one.

 

Ok, now what the flying f**k?!?! I havent found any exact post stating my worst fears, but...is AC up for release on PS4?! Please say this is not so!!! Come on...and if it really is so; surely we wont be sharing servers? I have enough trouble finding a server without a dozen crashed cars a lap already...dont need arcaders to join in the mess that already is...

 

The only thing they changed for the console (that affects the physics) are the cars' default setup. Nothing was dumbed down per se.

 

Congratulations to Kunos!

More sales across more platforms means more content for all of us I am a little worried about the release and the workload shift to consoles but think of it this way. A console racing game needs to have career and in depth story, a better UI and a more appealing method of introducing more players. The core game (the sim itself) is great but for me some of the more gamey features in the menu's and things are missing. I look at this as a way of kunos making AC finally play as well as it simulates

A big thanks. Although we (the community) may not say it but we really love this game, and I am sure I can speak for a few of us here and say, trust in kunos. The naysayers will move on, but we will stay

 

Hmm, not sure what to make of this. I just hope it doesn't impact on the PC version in a negative way. I have seen it countless times before that a developer jumps to the consoles and after that the games are never the same again. I can think of very few examples where this isn't the case (maybe Rockstar - but even then PC didn't get Red Dead Redemption). I really hope i'm wrong on that however ive been burned too many times before by developers pretty much abandoning the PC platform so I approach any such news with "caution". I also fear slightly for Kunos themselves, didn't the (abandoned) 2005 release of GTR on the XBOX360 and then RACE Pro nearly bankrupt "SimBin" (or actually did partly bankrupt them)...?

If it can work out then great, i'd love to be proven wrong.

 

If you say so..

 

When you say it like this, I have no idea what I was thinking when I wrote that
Either way good luck with Assetto Corsa on whatever platform! You guys deserve all the success you obviously have with it.

PS.: I so cannot wait for SCG003C (and the street Glickenhaus cars )

 

Fair point, and I wasn't involved in that at all - but did the console release have a direct impact on the quality of the PC version? Can it be said that the port to consoles was definitely the reason, or would it have ended up that way regardless? Again, honestly curious.

 

I see it only as a good thing.
Take for example warframe by digital extremes, I have played that game since before the public beta. When they announced warframe will be coming to consoles everyone kicked up a stink saying pc would be neglected. Well same situation here with Kunos. Another dev is handling the console ports much the same as in warframe. Pc version still gets updated first. Since launch on console the game has come on leaps and bounds. It's more streamlined. Has a waaaaaay better UI and because they make more money now it's on consoles it just gets better and better.
I think Kunos is definitely going in the right direction. With more money means more staff and possibly bigger license deals .Well done all at Kunos...kudos to you all
