Well if it's DX10 I'll only need a new OS...but who knows how my 4870 will handle the game...

Although now that I think about it I'll probaly need a new video card anyways since tessellation in DX11 pwns DX10 and gives better performance at the same time or something? Maybe someone can tell us more of whether if it's useless to use DX10?

Rims look abit weird imo and i am not fan of street cars, want race cars in a game.
But still looks nice.

Kakha Jomardidze · May 4, 2012

cool!

Damn, Lovely
Video Please, can't wait

That car´s only purpose is to go sideways

Jamie Shorting · May 4, 2012

BMW!!!!!! Sooooo damn sexy. Three cheers for Kunos!

Edgar Herrero · May 4, 2012

Wow, the interior is so damn cool and detailed! Exterior images look a bit strange and low quality, but that doesn't matter, they're WIP imgs

Mapu · May 4, 2012

Yeah - the attention to visual detail is geat. Kudos Kunos!

Travis · May 5, 2012

Looks excellent as usual. Assetto Corsa is coming together rather nicely!

Hampus Andersson · May 5, 2012

Exterior i think we all can agree it looks like shiznit right now. Bit jaggy in some places and something strange with the chrome.
Notice the red 1M in some pictures, the lighting on it almost looks like it´s photoshopped in, it just doesn´t look natural if you know what i mean.

Check out the hood of this car, some strange reflections there, just above the right headlight

Disclaimer: This is not a fanboy comment, it´s an observation.

I think it's due to the mapping not completed, the car doesn't feel "natural" in the environnement

Hampus Andersson · May 5, 2012

Would be nice to see a picture taken "today" just to see how far they have come.

I´m sure these images is pretty old.

David Ignjatovic · May 5, 2012

For me, I don't care so much about pcars level of GFX, moreso that some of the very low res textures in some cars in GTR Evo are gone, and it's obvious AC has come over the top and then some.
That said, AC should be FVA hardcore, and most sim racers are still going to focus on physics before any other factor.

Mapu · May 5, 2012

I agree, to me the depth of shadow and contrast seems a bit off in some pictures. It gives the impression of an overall flat picture. It kind of gives the same effect as with rF2, but not as bad; I can approve David's remark that proper physics and a realistic handling design in a sense of exploring the bounderies of simulation comes first, although state of the art graphics would make this title even more appealing.

Edit: Just to say, in no way do I assume that the graphics of Assetto are bad! But fine tuning never hurts. Graphics are meaningless when the substance is bad; who needs a graphic-demo and a praising developer whose product is flawed from the bottom up?

Keep going Kunos, you have my attention!

I wonder if AC is going to be compatible with Windows 8?

I'm still using XP but I think I need to upgrade to, at least, windows 7.
AFAIK, windows 8 is going to be released soon?

I hope Kunos gets the graphics right because the eye-candy-part of a game is (for me personal) almost as important as the physics (in general) and handling.

nijeat · May 6, 2012

I'm also usually not a fan of road car, but as seen some vid it also looks like something fun to drive. See below.

Anyway of course good and right graphic is good for me as well though, I'm ok unless 2D(including a bit joke) because my favourite games are windwos games.

I imagine it will be compatible with Windows 8. But I'm gonna get a Windows 7 Retail soon as Windows 8 seems like total crap. There's no more start menu and it seems more designed for tablets and touchscreen computers.
