Automobilista V1.0 to Release Tomorrow

[Paul Jeffrey]

Reiza Studios have confirmed that after a long period of Early Access, Automobilista will be available as a full Version One release from Wednesday 24th August on the Steam Network.

In preparation for the full release, the Brazilian team have released a new promotion trailer for the game and produced several impressive visual content lists (see foot of article) detailing what will be included in the package. It is worth noting that version One will include the much sought after 1967 and 1969 Formula Vintage series, a popular piece of content already enjoyed by beta backers that replicates 1960's era Formula One cars.

Some further important info regarding Version One:

• A new player profile is strongly recommended.
• Replays from v0.9.8 and earlier may not be compatible with v1.0
• Virtual Xperience leaderboards will be reset in light of several physics updates;
• Mods might need to be updated - specially mods that are in the REIZA28 - REIZA35 range as those slots have been reserved for official content as well (mods in that range won´t show up in menu).

AMS Version 1 Release Trailer:

Reiza have confirmed that to reflect the full version release, prices for the game will increase to US$ 39.99. Prices will remain discounted until Sunday 29th for the full Reiza Membership Package (base game + all DLCs + beta access) @ US$ 54.99, and Membership upgrade (all DLCs + beta access for those that already own the game) for US$ 24.99.

A range of post V1 release DLC items will be available to purchase in the coming weeks and months. Stay tuned to RaceDepartment for more news when it is available.

Looking forward to V1? Are you satisfied with AMS so far? Do you think it has proven to be a worthwhile standalone release, rather than upgrade to GSCE? Let us know in the comments section below!

Congrats to Reiza! I still consider myself fresh meat when it comes to sim racing and Automobilista has been my adventure into the wild world of the genre. Its been great and always gets better.

ISI take note!

If ISI started a crowd funding campaign to hire some external help to upgrade rFactor2 to DX11, and to give proper VR support I'd happily give them £50. Hopefully it'll get me playable frame rates and fix the stuttering issues that make that great game unplayable on my super fast PC.

Reiza and Kunos have proved that being a small studio doesn't have to be an obstacle to progress

So in what way has Reiza progressed more than ISI?

I love Reiza, but that is nosense...

GTR was the reason I started to like sim racing, and these guys are the reason I still like it... Its just a fun game

they manage to do not only good sim but also a game title that can stand on its own ... not just platform

Let's not go down this road again, it's a good day for sim racing.

 

[Dann Murillo]

It is on sale right now.
"for this week however (until Sunday 28th) you may still buy it from our forum store for only US$ 29.99"

Fair enough, though as far as sales go that one barely registers.

Not trying to argue on the glorious eve of AMS 1.0 but what do you mean? $29.99 vs $39.99 is a 25% discount. That IS a decent sale any way you look at it.

Congratulations to Reiza. They and ISI are both small teams and have given us years of joy and hopefully many more to come!

Hah, yeah I guess it's a pretty darn decent sale as far as night before release goes. I mostly meant it as a "I'd wait for a bigger sale if you already own GSCE and are on the fence" kind of thing.

Tyres can catch dirt.

AMS? What's AMS?

I'm too busy playing a real racing simulator at the moment.

 

[M D Gourley]

Absolutely brilliant news....loving AMS....and looking forward to all new DLC....have my wallet at the ready

 

[Paul Jeffrey]

Only have GSCE and bought that too late to qualify for the upgrade to AMS, so I'm wondering if it's really worth purchasing AMS now (if it offers anything significant over GSCE).

Its far superior to GSCE. FAR superior. Do it man, its epic

 

[Ole Andreasen]

Thank you Reiza Studios. A fantastic sim will now rise from the early access and into a hopefully glorious long life. I think it´s one to remember.

Welp, I don't know what could have been a better gift for my birthday.

They don't need outside help for directx or anything. It's the choice of a couple of people.

But this is about AMS .

 

[Qazdar Karim]

Amazing!! what a surprise !!!!!

 

[Boby Kim]

An "outdated" engine, "outdated" graphics but a damn good modern development team that pushes the tire simulation plus engine to its best. I love the feel, tracks and car models. The way you have updated the game and communicated toward the community...im speechless. Thanks Reiza. I will support you whenever i can because you work exactly how i think a developer should work.
