This is not anything serious. We took over a year saying the word "soon"

The game has been delayed several times and the excuses they are no longer credible.
We would like to know an approximate date, which are now completed and features which will be added in the future.

Each capture on the Facebook of Assetto Corsa is offensive to me at the moment. After more than a year, we need more things ...

We have not seen anything online races, none of the game modes, the current state of AI, we know nothing of the simulator and it is difficult to pre-purchase if we have more data.

I understand what you mean but you got it all wrong, sorry And by "we" you mean "I" right?

1. The game has been delayed two times both with more than fair reasons.
2. Every picture is an "offensive", seriously? I am not even going to comment on that...
3. There is no pre-order so there is no need to give you any information at all!

You haven't paid a single penny for anything AC related, so there nothing you can demand as much as you would like it...
That is my opinion, I know there are quite a few that think like you, judging from the facebook comments and it is quite funny actually (no offense though)..

I think you should go outside....

Sorry if some things are not understood. It is not my native language.

I'm a fan of KS, my preferred simulator netKar pro and AssettoCorsa tech demo I love. It's almost perfect.

Wear from day excited about this project, I changed my old pc with a new to play this simulator, each video you upload to youtube Markus is very exciting for me. But the images and do not say anything, I want to see more ... I think we all want to see more.

They could teach other things we have not seen, do not think is a big problem for the team KS, upload a video to an online race, race against the AI, game modes, damages if any, rain if any .. .

Delays are beginning to be bothersome, 2012, summer 2013, September 2013, autumn 2013 ...

Today I'm not optimistic... tomorrow is another day.

 

[Simon Kaminski]

When did they say September?? Never.

 

[Tobbe Bergman]

Can someone post that PR?

That is not the press release, that is an article written about it.

I don't feel I can share the release, as it was written directly to our press email address, and generally speaking you do not publish press releases.

That is the original source ! NOT from Kunos PR

 

[Simon Kaminski]

What are you talking about? lol. I bet they got their news from that press release

 

[Hampus Andersson]

Bit of an odd press release.

Announcing a new car and then "oh btw, fall 2013 just in case you need to know"
Seems to me it should be the reverse. Another car is great but an actual release date (in this case a wide one) is HUGE.

It does not specify a release date, it simply has a sentence saying the game is expected for a fall release. I expect there will be an announcement of the release date in the near future.

That is not the press release, what you linked is an article written regarding the announcement of the new car added to the game. KONUS Simulazioni's PR people release announcements like this to accredited media like Race Department, which is where the information in that article is sourced from.

Exactly what i said.

 

[Howard]

Exactly what i said.

Sorry, I misread. I haven't been following the gaming news, as it's not usually my area, but I think they should give you guys something to chew on. I certainly hope they don't delay it any more, and announce a date that is as early as possible, as from what I've seen it looks brilliant!

 

[Michael Hornbuckle]

People are getting antsy over the release date because we expected a fall release last year. We have been expecting an announcement of the release date in the near future for a year now.

The thing I don't understand is when they said it wouldn't make sense to have a summer release. Not sure how a fall release is any better because now they are competing with GTA 5, two new consoles, and a whole slew of games being released. I'm a pretty hard core simracer but I know that between GTA 5, Watchdogs, Titanfall, COD, and Battlefield my time (and $$) will be stretched very thin for the next several months.

I hope that I am wrong but I can understand if they put off the release until sometime next year, not because the game isn't ready but because of the same reasons it doesn't make sense to them to release in summer.

It's originated from www.racedepartment.com and NOT Kunos

If you Googled the sentence:

"The Lotus Exige S Roadster will be included in the first release of Assetto Corsa, expected for release in Fall 2013."

All you get is the one from www.racedepartment.com

 

[Mo Selvarajah]

all this fuss over release dates is mental.
i mean.......you're going to get the game either way.
what difference will it make if you have the knowledge of the release date....cancel the wedding? miss the holiday?
i dont get it. It'll be out....when its ready.
As long as they dont stop production and cancel the game, im happy.

guys this is going to be arguably the best driving sim game out.......we know its going to have the best physics, for sure the best graphics, and its moddable.

so frankly what is the issue? youve waited this long, im sure another 6-12 months isnt going to hurt. Just play some battlefield 3, it keeps you occupied.

Well, same here and as you can see, people are not excited about pictures of new cars any more. Just 5 comments in 12 hours on the front page and nothing about the game, just about wrong car`s top speed.
I also renewed iRacing acount and now I will probably stay there. I am a little tired of waiting new racing games (not only AC), because all of them are now couple of years under development, alpha, beta, "gamma", WIP and so one ... without any mention of final release`s date.
And you know, I don`t want to hurt AC fans feelings, it is just my opinion .

After 150 pages, still the same discussion...

Again this sentence is from RD, why should anybody copy their article? You still don't get it, the press release apparently says that. But nobody posts the press release, every sites writes an article based on the PR...

This has more to do with the car I think, if this would have been the announcement of the 5th Ferrari you can bet there would be more response... While the Exige is a brilliant car, it is not a Pagani, Ferrari or McLaren... You can also see that on their facebook, Spa and Ferrari pics get more than 500 likes, shots from the epic BMW M3 E30 DTM get like 50 or so because let's face it if you are not a motorsport fanatic you have no idea how amazing this car was or that it even exists... For most it is just an old BMW

iRacing started all the "under development" racing game, you pretty much get a new tyre model² every 3 months amongst other things. That is not bad by all means it just doesn't fit your finished game example . Before anyone says AC fanboy, I have an iRacing subscription too (and like it)
