Automobilista 2 - New Screenshots Reveal Additional Content

[Paul Jeffrey]

Some new images from the upcoming Automobilista 2 have been released.

Revealing the British Brands Hatch circuit, the wonderful lightweight Caterham plus an historic layout of the Italian Imola track for the first time, a new batch of Automobilista 2 images have surfaced on the internet today - again showing off the already impressive visuals achieved by Reiza Studios in their W.I.P new racing simulation.

AMS 2 Interview: Check out part 1 HERE.

Having been in development for some months now, AMS 2 very recently got its first public airing and the announcement has been met with generally very positive vibes from the sim racing community.

Using upgraded visuals thanks to the adoption of the MADNESS game engine, the new title is set to continue Reiza Studios tradition of creating ultra realistic racing simulations that feature a wide and diverse array of exciting motorsport content.

Again keeping with the core Brazilian theme for the new game, Reiza have confirmed that at least 75% of the content within the original Automobilista title will make the switch over to the new release - suitably upgraded and expanded of course - alongside a host of new licences that include the likes of German powerhouse manufacturer BMW, and the some of the iconic cars from the career of Brazilian three-time Formula One World Champion, and undoubted motorsport legend, Ayrton Senna.

Due to release in December of this year, it wouldn't be a great stretch of the imagination to come to the conclusion that the AMS 2 announcement is likely to be one of the biggest sim racing news stories of 2019 - and if the screenshots revealed today, coupled with the enviable reputation already well earned by Reiza Studios are anything to go by, this could be one of the most impressive simulations released in the genre so far.

The second part of our big AMS 2 Interview, featuring many of the questions raised by the community, will release exclusively on RaceDepartment in the very near future...

Automobilista 2 will release on PC December 2019.

100% Agree...or fix PCARS2 as it was nearly there (personal opinion only)

Me too, I play it with Jack Spade FFB files still. BUT with Reiza on Board, I think they can Iron out the issues for the next one.

I'm not the biggest fan of the PCars series by any means, but SMS decision to approach a tiny little studio like Reiza and give them the keys to their engine deserves props and should be supported.

This is pure business and nothing more. This is a small step towards future takeover. This world is not what it seems.

"Revealing the British Brands Hatch circuit, the wonderful lightweight Caterham"

Well, that's 100% of the content I need.

just short Oulton for me

just short Oulton for me

I must have logged near a thousand hours in AMS, and that's one combo I haven't tried! There is too much great content!

 

[SimJim70]

Any chance us Reiza 51 members could get early tester access? Pretty please

 

[Jan Mikuž]

That's not really additional content is it ? This content is already present in AMS1. More accurate way of saying would be smth along the lines "Beloved content from AMS 1 Brands Hatch, Imola, Caterham, Freiza confirmed to feature in AMS 2".

Seriously expected some exciting new, never before seen content (which this technically is, but not really ) when i read the title...just thought of it as a bit misleading. No offence.

But, then again, not anyone viewing your post is familiar with AMS 1, so my "complaint" may only be valid for us older Reiza fans.

Rainy May all over the RD

 

[DaVeX↯]

I think Reiza will tease us until December also monthly Devs recap will be back so....hypeeeee!!!
I want that part2 now, maybe tomorrow after ACC release...

 

[Jefferson Costa]

After seeing the AJR, Goiânia, Londrina, Interlagos and Curitiba I'm hyped for AMS2. Just want to see a screenshot of Tarumã, my local track.

By the way, going to see the AJR personally again on June 15th as Endurance Brasil will come to Tarumã, as well get a proper look on the Ginettas G57 and G55 GT4.

 

[Steve Worrell]

Can't wait for this.

 

[delpinsky]

Madness Engine runs really fine on my "old" system... with a 4790K and GTX 980 O.C., therefore I'm happy!

 

[Terry Rock]

I'll be supporting this one right out-of-the box.
Always liked Reiza's 'grit' and determination to get things done right.
They have a knack for doing exceptional with less.
As Negan would say...."I like that"

 

[TheOriginalStix]

So much exciting content coming! I just hope they can bring back Adelaide, since it's my home circuit and such an iconic track in Aussie motorsport, not to mention all the World Championship-deciding Grands Prix it hosted.

Caterhams are always great fun, be it in AMS or in PCars 2. Caterhams at Portimao has to be one of my favorite combos in PCars 2 and I'm sure Reiza can make the car even better.

roofless caterham in dark/damp conditions.....I think I'll keep that a sim-only scenario

First thing I though of when I saw the screenshot Of all the cars to present on screenshots in the rain, they chose the poor Caterham...

 

[DaVeX↯]

Yep also there is something wrong on car lights and some metal parts but....this is WIP so... it's ok!

 

[Danneskjold184]

Project Cars 1 and Project Cars 2 suffered from crippling and game breaking bugs.

Have they been fixed? https://old.reddit.com/r/pcars/comments/7killa/danneskjolds_running_list_of_bugs_big_and_small/

Why would I buy into a NEW game that couldn't even get bugs from the first fixed before they got put into the second?

(AMS is my favorite sim yet, but I've spent $150 total on 2 flaming bags of dog crap from Ian Bell and I'm very reluctant to do it again.)

 

[Hal Burns]

I must have logged near a thousand hours in AMS, and that's one combo I haven't tried! There is too much great content!

Catherham on short Oulton is my go to combo...a blast. Agree with the "too much great content"....not enough time in the day........the new graphics look awesome.

 

[Xamantu]

Why would I buy into a NEW game that couldn't even get bugs from the first fixed before they got put into the second?

Maybe because this isn't Project Cars 3 and using their engine ≠ having their bugs?

 

[rallysmo]

dont know why all the hype when reiza did it again Oops, they just recycle content they only upgrade engine this time and that all, i think all say if you want realistic graphics play forza sim dont need it wtf.

if you wanna drive that caterham just play ams

iam still waiting the lastest dlc for ams

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice...

Did you support Reiza's crowdfunding campaign back in 2015 at lvl 5 or higher? That was one of the perks.
