XB1 Shocked n disappointed

Our head steward in our race community is an ex GT3 driver , who after playing Assetto Corsa with us for the first time was practically messing himself with delight .
He said that the way the cars handle is as close to the real thing as he's ever experienced in a sim game .
The way the car handles in corners , under braking / acceleration and the feeling of loosing grip is all apparently amazing in this game .
I know it feels good but have never really driven a real life car to the limits , especially a car with down force .
The game lacks in a lot of areas , but I'm sure this will be added in (it would be in the best interest of devs to do so )

 

thats pretty cool. we had a guy recently who made a comparison with AC and his experience in trofeo abarth... he seemed quite happy with AC's Abarth

I made this comparison with a mod Ginetta and Thruxton in AC and even with player made content lap times were close to real life

 

So what you're saying is that the guys who find the handling physics unreal should maybe get a pass to a track day event and see how real cars drive when pushed to the limit......and then criticize the AC physics ?

 

I felt strangely comfortable during my first trackday. Pretty impressed actually. But as it's said before, real life is too arcade..

 

heheh I dont claim to know anything about physics. I chose my sim based on a mixture of things...

I like rf2's FFB feel but the graphics are poor and MP is dead. iRacing has the best sounds and great MP but subscription needed. AMS I pick up every now and then for some SP racing. AC has good graphics, lots of car choice, a large playerbase online with a mod called Minorating which, along with a great community, makes MP very enjoyable. I visit these forums as this is my game of choice and my community is based here. not sure why those physics experts that know AC has 0 simulation value keep hanging around here though

 

Unfortunately on console we only have pcars as a comparison and although a very good game for multi-player and setup it's really nowhere near the physics of this game .
Also you PC boys have a far more polished version of AC . Here on console we are lacking some pretty basic stuff , hence all the upset gamers .
Sure we will get sorted in time

Haters gonna hate

 

My local track is Brands hatch and Ive done a good few track days in my time

That said im not saying the physics are poor far from it but I do feel the tyre model needs looking at on certain cars , there is very little to no grip slip grip or speed scrubbing felt its more reminiscent to aqua plan IRL its simply not that way .

 

FTFY

 

Like I said I've not really had the experience of driving to the limit ....unless you can call spinning my old scirocco across Bodmin roundabout at 80mph
I'm just going by the man I know with the most race experience .
No race sim is going to be identical to real life for many reasons and if you want a true race experience , that's only going to be sat in a car on track .

 

Agree.

 

If you mean slick tyres I can partly agree with you. But on the other hand I haven't driven real life car on slick tyres nor can't be sure if the FFB is playing tricks on my mind but that is something I can't feel 100% comfortable with.

 

Ups, man wird alt und tüddelig...

 

How do we know what the tyres are doing in this game, there's no info available.
I don't like to steel other people's one liners but someone suggested last night while racing on p cars, "Assetto corsa isn't a 2 disk game is it, and everyone's only loaded disk 1" lol

 

Yeah, sadly on the console you don't have many choices. While for me as a fan of good singleplayer racinggames its not much better. Thats probably one of the first things to be cut besides the presentation if a studio is (rather) small.

Many PC sims are not that demanding, so even with an older machine you can play some of them. Raceroom, RFactor2, Automobilista could be worth a try. Maybe PCars for those who didn't tried it yet.
But especially older sims like GTR2, Race07 (+AddOns) are kinda outdated, but they delivered a more complete package and a solid singleplayer, are even less demanding and cost just a couple of bugs.
I kinda wait for a modern Race07, with better physics and graphics, no matter if its from Kunos, Slightly Mad or Codemasters. I don't care.

If you are used to something good it can be kinda hard if isn't included in a game of the same kind. No matter if its physics, features, AI, career ...

 

Unfortunately I only have an answer this lounge doesn't want to hear. Even on the PC you need to enable dev apps or to use some 3rd party addons.

 

That's something the should have thought about before bringing it to console

 

Hopefully we get disk 2 soon
But i'm not holding my breath

 

I definitely agree with you and can feel your pain. It seems like the console version is much more simplified than many of us expected.

 

Simplified isn't the word I'd use, ripped of at launch is How I would describe it.

Time trial - no leaderboards

Multiplayer - no private lobbies can't change any settings.

Sim side of game - no telemetry

Frame rate - not consistent

A1 - not as good as expected

 

You forgot to mention no brake pressure adjustment on race spec machines
