True, but Kunos have already implemented some of the 2020 liveries into the game, if it was going to be paid DLC, why would they include some liveries from 2020 but not others.

One track, two new car models and +/- 60 liveries. These guys don't work for nothing. And this also pays for further development of the sim and more new stuff.

anyone else find this sim to be just sort of lifeless and dull? I get that it's technically precise as hell, almost like a sim racing version of DCS, but there is no sense of speed, zero worldbuilding (i.e. nothing about it screams "Blancpain" in the way that the Codemasters F1 sims ooze F1's character) and the transition between mechanical and aero grip in the cars is awkward at best. The tire model, while fully faithful to Blancpain's Pirelli tire no doubt, just sucks to drive - the transition between grip and ass over end into the barriers is instantaneous and the tires allow for almost no slip angle before control departure. Again, I appreciate the technical precision of this sim and everything has Kunos has put into it, and I own the DLC, but every time I drive it, I don't find myself *enjoying* the drive.

The GT3 cars in AMS2, while still a little raw, have more panache and, well, life to them. All IMO

..

Well no, at least for my playing habits which are 90% multiplayer. Quite intense and energy draining. Cannot answer about the physics but it feels good here. To me ACC is focused on pure racing simulation more than anything else, and it does that well.

I don’t get this price debate

ACC with all the current DLC is £65 to buy it now. I have a lot of hours in the sim and love it so well worth it.

I got AMS2 for £25 and have tried to get in to it. It’s great but I don’t enjoy it as much. Spent about 12 hours in the sim. I would still say if I never use it again I had 25 quids worth of enjoyment on it. A steak and a pint is gone and forgotten pretty quickly for the same amount.
I’m not saying the the money insignificant like I’m the sultan of the north but unless you get EA sales volume the only way pretend racers will ever get anything new to moan about is to keep some level of investment for developers to keep going. I charge for every bit of work I do too.

Look at the time we spend in the sim and decide per hour used and enjoyed was it worth it.

All the sims are great in their own way. I’m sure we all have a favourite so best to put our cash there. I’ve driven up bus lanes that cost me more than any DLC content

If you haven't played AMS2 in a while, you should give it another go. Not the same game it was. AMS2 and ACC are my go to Sims.

Gangsta rap in lowrider GT3 is awesome.

It is a bit lifeless and dull. That's why I generally play the other games, including even AC1 over this game. The driving physics is good but the driving experience is dull in a way that even the good graphics cant help.

If it is the Porsche, it is still broken from what I know. Better with latest hotfix but it is still broken. The polish of AMS2 is quite bad at this stage.

it was McLaren 570 GT4 If I remember it correctly

sure, i'm sure it all gets better eventually, or actually I think you are right, it was the Cayman GT4!

Funny, I have the opposite feeling. I have a great time with ACC, it’s my go-to sim right now. AMS 2 is very good, I like it a lot, but it’s still very much a work in progress for me, still lots of work to be done to make it great, but I’m pretty sure it will be.

 

[2stains]

So if you've got limited finances what do you buy the incoming AMS2 or ACC DLC?

AMS2 for sure.

 

[2stains]

Just watched Dave Cam at Bathurst - you could be forgiven for thinking it's Wreckfest at some stages.

Current ACC AI also suck donkey balls, but it's still a lot better than AMS 2's.

AMS2 is a lot earlier along in its development though. Give AMS2 the same time frame and I believe it will be better than where ACC is by this time.

 

[eco2006]

Multiplayer AI would be a great addition as well.

 

[Jach]

Good.

On the contrary. For me the racing in ACC is the most thrilling and rewarding experience of all the sims. Heartrate up in the sky most of the time.

It caters for different crowd than typical "variety of cars/tracks" casual tire kicker.
Nothing wrong with fun and casual, it's just ACC has a more serious, real racing like tone, Arma vs COD.

Ok, that reassures me, no stand image, no improvement on this side.

I only remember the AI.

For the rest, I expect one hotfix per month for the events and that's it

The game is mature and great, but there is still a lot of things to improve, the circuits are lacking life, when the new Gran Turismo will be released, the ACC championship mode will be quickly forgotten, for the rest I will never buy a Playstation or Gran Turismo so I will only talk about the championship point of view.

maybe more driving and less staring into the landscape

Yes, with the new patch I should be able to finish a course without being bumped.

So it will become an accessory to watch the circuit.

That doesn't stop the pits from being sad, even one of the saddest of all car games.

Both Cayman and 570S is rough for me. Personally, I think the AMG GT3 and Porsche is quite decent, other than the suspension issue. The 720S and GT4s were added much later in the beta, Camaro was surprisingly decent for me.

 

[Pay_Driver]

Let's hope that AI Improvements will be significant! I've played just 2 hours of ACC since I've bought the sim - enough time to understand that racing with the CPU drivers was boring as hell. Waiting for the update

Race online man. Join a league! There is where the joy of simracing is

 

[maranello78]

Great news!! I think Imola will be amazing for Endurance races, and very excited to see Magny Course love this track!!! And love to see more cars and liveries.
I hope we got an true app to control server options, there's a lot of things we don't know and cannot see on game handbook and finish livery editor toó please
If they 'll release TCR, LMP2 and Nordschleife for sure they would be king.
In the future could be great a "legendary GT3 dlc" with cars like Ferrari 430 GT3, Aston Martin Dbr9 GT3, Morgan plus 8 GT3, Chevrolet C6 GT3.....and for sure i'll pay every euro € very happy
