Suprised at the lack of excitement

I wrote the comment "are there gonna be also the gt4 that took part in laguna seca race this year?"
It was just a question, I think a legitimate one. On the other hand, I am also the one that on the italian fb group "ACC Italia" posted first the news, with massive excitement from myself and everybody.
Therefore I really don't get the point of OP, how can you generalize this way and suppose the reactions of people you don't know? That was pretty dumb.

 

Yea, why is that though? I'm curious, which is why I included that paragraph in my post.

I'd reckon that most people like an MX5, Skippy or an F2 car in comparison to GTE, Indycar or F1, because they are significantly easier to drive and easier to set up (no/less aero and about 1/4 of the power), or they are simpler (no KERS), which are legitimate (less so in the case of F2 to F1 imo), but to me a GT4 car compared to a GT3 car is just somewhat slower, its not really significantly simpler or easier to drive, it just laps less quickly.

The significantly slower classes of cars are useful in real life to learn how to drive, since you don't want to be making mistakes in something that is going fast enough to kill you, or costs millions to fix, and for the sake of a more gentle learning curve, they are nice to have in sim racing.

The cheaper classes (GT4, F2) have a place in real life because they are significantly cheaper than the next level up. But in sim racing, where you can get unlimited brand new cars of any kind instantly, for free, with a few button presses, they lose a lot of their purpose.

 

People will always have questions and as Kunos included all cars (including non gt3) that started the Spa 24hrs then its reasonable to assume they may do the same with the Intercontinental.

Currently they have said no but also they said they cant talk about deals not finalized. Only thing confirmed is the tracks and beyond that its speculation until confirmation of all content in the pack.

There were some fairly random car entries at the Bathurst 12hr. It would be a massive job to add them all and possibly the same was at Laguna, Suzuka and for Kyalami.

If all gt3 entries are added it would be nice the others sure it would be a big bonus but I find it unlikely. The tracks are amazing so either way I look forward to the DLC.

 

I think you thinking too much, it's just fun and cool, and that is enough to consider it. For me it's slower, easier, less aero and we push less compared to GT3, im cool with GT3 too but i just want to try it because im a gt fan

 

FB at the gym..

Your not the type of bloke that curls in the squat rack and spends 10 min on his phone between each set are you..?

Very excited here.. Destroyed another keyboard..

Kunos have been in the game for a while. They have thick enough skin and will carry on.. I am sure they have heard/read it all before..

 

In my excitement scale I'm in DEFCON 5.

 

If ACC had every car and track in existence, some would still be left jonesing for content. Out of frustration, some of those would start drinking heavily, and some of those would lose there job... Long story short- Someone will probably end up hanging from a prison cell.
That's life!
Thanks op.

 

And I can only repeat myself:
It is always amazing and educational how friendly, honest and willing to learn Kunos is. It is rare for a company to impress me so positively on a lasting basis. I bow and express my highest respect.

Kudos to Kunos!

 

I'm glad to hear that

Since this is the topic of the thread: I'm very, very excited about the 4 new tracks. I've always been in love with Bathurst, it's easily one of my favourite tracks. Suzuka is a fantastic track, as well. Laguna Seca is a bit of a b*tch but I like it, too. Getting all those tracks in Kunos quality is fantastic.

IMHO, Kunos right now is miles ahead of the competition. Sometimes people complain about slow progress but I really don't get it. Progress IMO is very fast and it's substantial. Here's an incomplete list, from the top of my head:

- FFB/car instability drama from very early days - root cause found and fixed.
- High CPU usage during AI races: massively improved
- Massive improvements to the AI and they keep coming
- FFB frequency (some people totally freaked out about "only" 110 Hz) increased to 333 Hz
- TrackIR support added
- Matchmaking drama solved by adding quickjoin button and competition servers
- Market-first ranking system, basic ideas developed in AC, ported as official content in ACC, permanently being improved
- AA and sharpness greatly improved
- Curb drama - root cause found and fixed by introducing an all-new tyre model
- Superb sounds, permanent improvements
- FFB LUT added - IMO, one of the most valuable features in FFB tweaking.

All of this only cost me 25 €. I don't think there's another title for which a list like the above can be created. From roughly one year after EA launch!

So yeah, I'm excited I guess Can't wait for more content and hoping that Kunos will not stop doing sims anytime, soon.

 

In all this, I'm surprised at the SUZUKA laser scanning (!). This is very surprising, because as far as I know with this track there is always a licensing problem. It's amazing.

My applause, dev.

 

I agree with what you said 100%

 

I think couple of family members and 3 kidnesy went only for Suzuka

 

nO NOrDscHleIfE No bUY

 

Then you have some money left for other goodies...

 

come on it was a joke man.

 

This x 100. The sim has matured pretty darn quickly and it's now incredibly strong, in most respects much better than the competition. But people love to hate today and it's going to take time for them to come around and to shed those initial complaints. People like Gamer Muscle who seem to have weird problems with ACC influence others to parrot his concerns and so it spirals. But I agree that the sense from around the community is that people are trying ACC again for themselves and realizing what they've been missing. The tide has turned I think, and for sure the IGTC announcement got people's attention, that was very definitely the right move.

On a side note, I wonder if it's worth someone from Kunos reaching out to GM and seeing if he'll give it another go, now that we've had a number of updates, to see if he'll give it an honest reappraisal?

 

No id just squatted and leg pressed 400kg for reps , my phone has metallica playin to me . I come from Temple Gym in birmingham so im hardcore .. like my sims

 

Don't mistake this.

For example, I am very happy about the announcement, but I will still voice concerns/wishes. I won't stop and say "everything is nice." just because I like the announcement of a DLC. I think ACC is slowly getting somewhere. But as a customer, you want the best product possible. So you try to help, to make the best product happen. Since I can't code, I do it via criticism. I still massively appreciate the effort of kunos. Especially considering, its such a small studio.

 

Settle down Dorian..

Believe it or not The Shadow wasn't into huge squats.. now big Ronnie was.. "Yeah buddy lightweight!"
