The big 1.5 speculation and dream thread

I did my research on that aswell. And... we are not getting the console UI (which I was also hoping for). We'll share everything with the console version except for the UI...

Okay. Thats a bummer. Then my wish is only that they let me click what I want to do directly and not having to press it twice. Yeye I know, its not that big of a deal but small things like that does make a difference.

 

For me it's a big deal, cause the have never updated the UI (correct me if I'm wrong). So it's like we have the very first version of the UI, a beta or an alpha... It's time they update it.

Hey man, if I had to "say hello to modders" everytime I want a normal/working feature on AC I'd have to pay them half of the price of the game...

My point is that you cannot let modders do everything...

I think I started a thread about it but cant be bothered to search for it atm, then I think some dev changed it to "issue" tag. It would be a lot easier if you could see your started threads on the forum and not just messages but I think there is somewhere.

 

I agree on that but many modders like to do what they do and AC is a very mod friendly game. But yeah, It would be nice with it in the base game.

 

I found the thread

Posted a reply on your thread. Hope they read it

 

Does anybody knows if Kunos plans to implement more racing rules in this update?
By that I mean like choose from "standing start" to "rolling start", formation laps, full course yellow, AI to respect blue flag... this kind of thing?
It seems that they don't, but I can be wrong.

 

I think that rolling starts won't be coming anytime soon...

 

They have talked about it a lot and they have interest in it but they would likely have said something about it. Maybe with 1.6, doubt they would bring it in without talking about it.

 

I'm looking forward to this update. Now that Kunos has a publisher I imagine they aren't allowed to talk as openly about future content, especially prior to console 1.0.

What we should be getting is the same build that is being submitted for console minus the UI so it should be a more cohesive experiance, a couple more features that are more standard in console sims, and a more polished experiance all around.

If anything is being held back from this/the console version, besides content it will likely be a bit obvious and more to look forward too.

I think this is a smart move. If there are any larger, harder to squash bugs, we'll find them, and they should get addressed quickly.

 

Thats true, whenever we have got patches there have always been some hotfixes applied. But how does this work on console? Do they still need to let Microsoft/Sony confirm it or can they send out hotfixes for console aswell?

 

No hot fixes on console unless a major blocker slips through. What generally happens is a "day 1 patch" goes into development after the game has been submitted for final approval (can take 3-4 weeks). This patch would be applied prior to the game going on sale and would be a big "polish" update.

Then patches need to be on a more planned and structured release schedule. They tend to get a lot more testing, and 1st party also checks them to ensure there isn't any major functional issues... Not gameplay.

If Kunos release PC patches prior to console it helps increase their quality by exposing the build to thousands of users prior to a console patch submission. I guess this goes without saying... But in addition to their own testers, they also have 505's.

 

That reminds me, I want to be able to pause the menu with a button on my wheel. I have to set up a small folding table for my m/kb instead of being able to just use my wheel.

 

You can with third party software such as JoyToKey, but after pause, you cant navigate though... I read recently that Stephano was working on a navigable menu with wheel dpads, hope it will make it in 1.5, but I dont think so.
