ACC News Coming in Next Weeks... Plus New Interview and Footage

[Paul Jeffrey]

Marco Massarutto has confirmed more Assetto Corsa Competizione news will be coming in the next weeks during this latest interview with technology giants Nvidia...

During the brief interview video with Nvidia presenter Julian Huguet recently, Kunos Simulazioni Co-Founder Marco Massarutto has revealed some interesting insight into the highly anticipated new title from the makers of Assetto Corsa, including confirmation that the studio continue to target a "late summer" 2018 Early Access release date, and going on to mention that more news about the new simulation should be revealed in the next few weeks.

Already we've seen quite a bit of footage from ACC thanks to the various launch and reveal events around the world, and again this latest interview with Nvidia gives players another glimpse at what promises to be a highly polished visual treat, building on the already exceptionally solid foundations of Assetto Corsa as the Italian team move to the powerful Unreal 4 game engine - a first for the studio and yet another notable developer making use of this mightily potent engine for a sim racing game.

Sit back and enjoy the new footage as we continue to eagerly await more news about ACC in the coming days and weeks...

Assetto Corsa Competizione should be available on Steam Early Access Summer 2018.

Has no limits with today tech ? are you kidding me ? its the heaviest of them all and one of the few i cant afford to play at 120hz because it puts a GTX1080 on its knees with 15 AIS on track, and it still looks like it has graphics from last century ? ok....

This worries me also as I want to invest in GTX1180 and new monitor to run next gen titles at higher res but they just get heavier to run and you end up wasting hardware potential

If I was into shooters it would not worry me in the least

What I don't like about DX11+ sim titles is they have poor AA/AF and post effects make even worse so much so I gave up doing screenshots long ago

Good thing about GTR2 you can run 4K DSR quality settings with full grid at Spa, all HQ add-on, night, rain, whatever and no fps dips. Still though ...it takes new gen GPU to do a decade old sim
lol

Early Access is what Steam describes as a Beta, therefore it is not final. To say Full features like Full AI not available in EA is "disappointing" means you're expecting way too much and you need to lower those expectations, we may well get the full amount for EA but don't be surprised or disappointed if we don't. When the game officially comes out of EA and THEN the Full amount of cars is not at Spa....THEN get disappointed!

People expect way too little from EA at prices that were fully fledged games not even a lustrum ago.

I'm amazed people still think alpha, beta, EA even mean anything. A game is not made because DLC's are being released, a game is not made when it goes through 12 months of EA. A game is made the moment you ask money for a product. Anything that comes on top of it is pure gain, and can be defended by asking higher prices down the line like Dirt Rally did.

AI isn't EA, it's either there or it isn't. PCars 2 should have at least given pointers to Kunos that you don't start with doing it wrong, hoping it'll turn out to be ok in the end.

EA gives us all opportunity to try new software early if it only includes a few car/track combos so be it.
I'd rather pay for the game now and race a few variations, then have nothing until 1.0 next year.
Most of us are going to buy it regardless.

I wonder, why would anyone post something like this?

 

[Lino Carreira]

So smart, he can spell and color letters too...

 

[Brownninja97]

so to recap:

ACC supports 60 AI cars -> that's because the physical model is simple
ACC does not support 60 AI car -> that's because devs are not good at optimizing

can't win

You forgot the "why doesnt it support 61 cars?"

I am amazed at how grown up people can go full retard. Congrats.

 

[Neils on Wheels]

Not only does it look ancient, the developers are struggling to release a updated UI, whilst Kunos has almost released a completely full sim in less than a Year.
And then people have the nerve to compare ACC with a almost Nine Year old dated stale technology.

Pretty sure they work on it for much more than a year.

Don't troll threads with provocative comments.

 

[thepharcyde]

So are we to understand from the posts from Stefano that Spa will have full grids?

 

[Neils on Wheels]

No. Just wait till they announce it. They probably don't even know themselves yet.

 

[Ami_M3]

Teasers look good no doubt. Make the physics and FFB on par with the visuals and you have something.

Thanks for proving that too many people refuse to set standards and just impulse buy into EA programs.

I still don't understand where's the problem in ignoring EA is out there, wait until the final version is out, evaluate the features and then, if interested buy the game?

It's called choice, and it's not as if they don't have a history from NetKar onwards of producing the goods.

This game and promised "good ranking system" is the only reason which keeps me from going into iRacing right now

 

[xx-Tim-xx]

I Hope they show us the M6 GT3 or the Lexus

Thats funny, because I've been iRacing for many years and now looking forward to ACC for hopefully some great AI racing, as well as iRacing implementing AI into the game soon.
The most enjoyment I've ever had from sim racing was GTR1 and 2, Properly structured series is the way to go, with good AI. If I could get VR in GTR2, I would still be playing it.
I think I'm done with racing humans, hopefully ACC is the ducks nuts.
