New ACC Brands Hatch Images Revealed!

[Paul Jeffrey]

To celebrate the Blancpain GT Series visit to sunny Brands Hatch in Kent this weekend, check out these lovely new WIP Assetto Corsa Competizione images..

We know it's going to be one very sexy looking racing title, a fact that has been further supported by the latest batch of screenshot image reveals from the latest work in progress build of Assetto Corsa Competizione.

With the real world location bathed in unexpected degrees of sunshine this weekend, Kunos Simulazioni have been kind enough to treat sim racing fans to another new collection of in game images from the upcoming racing title, once again showing off the power of the Unreal 4 game engine to its undoubted impressive potential.

Keen to see for yourself? Check 'em out below!

Wanting to fill some time while you wait for the game to release? Why not head over to our Wish List thread and pop down some thoughts about what you would like to see make an appearance in game?

Not sure what's already know about ACC? Well we ran an interview recently with Marco and Stefano to get the inside line. Catch up with part 1 HERE and part 2 HERE.


Assetto Corsa Competizione should be available on Steam Early Access Summer 2018.

"Is the footage of ACC we've seen so far living up to your expectations? Excited for the new game?"
Yes, and yes! ACC will be the new benchmark in sim racing. Just a guess.

Shots without car on tarmac, cos they wanted to highlight the track. There was plenty of shots with cars on tarmac already.

Great looking pics. So far from Brands, Spa and Monza, probably when EA launches there won't be all tracks. (Assuming they work first on the tracks that are in AC already)

Which makes me wonder if some tracks get re-scanned or using old point cloud

I made this question on facebook page weeks ago "Felippe Kiss I have a question. All tracks will be scanned until then ok, what are the existing ones in the original AC will be re-scanned or only ported and adapted to the ACC?" THE ANSWER "Assetto Corsa Hi Felippe! Great question... All the tracks, (including the ones already made in the past) will be updated for the current season, so the previous ones are currently remastered or in some cases, created almost by scratch. Hope this helps

I did say 1070 ti but I would expect you are on the money, I suspect high with that kind of tier card and ultra with 1080ti but who knows if it's well optimised for dx12...

1080ti for 4K is not enough powerfull, but this summer you will have gtx 1180 = +25% than 1080ti.

Picture 2 frontpage exit Stirling's to narrow grass patch, IRL is what looks like 2 meters + missing safety net

Those catch fencing have only just been put up. In fact blancpain is the first race at the brands GP loop this year to use the new fencing. It runs between Hawthorns and sheene curve on the right

Something to consider on a 75% Steam sale.

R3E (GTR2 engine) looks great although it's static skies are showing their age compared to Assetto Corsa ,Project Cars 2, etc. Not a deal breaker, simply an observation.

Indeed. I wasnt mentioning the graphics overall. Just that the grass can be a bit "clean". I saw the Brands Hatch version in Raceroom and it also has old tire tracks with yellow grass and a little dirt showing in some corners where cars sometimes cut or being pushed out. So over the years it shows. Many tracks in rF2 for example is almost always super clean. Green grass up to the tarmac and no variation and it looks so clean/sterile. Texture work like that is quite a bit of work but it really make it look organic and detailed.

It's beautiful !!! to see all this in motion ;-). I hope it will be compatible 3DVision. June July August? September?

It was time!!

Looks awesome great job guys!

Some new ones:

Cool stuff but Sunset needs to be rectified:

 

[Jamiedh303]

I was there today, it certainly was sunny, not a drop of rain or bad light in sight

 

[melanieuk]

Looking at the Brands Hatch screen shot and colour palette, seems like they are going for the Forza Motor Sports7 look and colour palette

 

[Steve Worrell]

Cool stuff but Sunset needs to be rectified:

In what way?

 

[DaVeX↯]

Cool stuff but Sunset needs to be rectified:

Formentera sunset isn't the same of Brands...you know...different parts of the globe...I mean...no?

 

[Emerson Meyer]

Formentera sunset isn't the same of Brands...you know...different parts of the globe...I mean...no?

Not for the Flat Earth Society...maybe he is a member.

Seems to be nice if it is not a render. But thinking about my machine will not be able to run it

they don't post renders, everything is from the game

 

[InsaneOzzie]

I don't particularly car what the scenery looks like, it's not like I'm going to be seeing much of it when I'm at full throttle with my eyes fixed on my racing line. Never did understand the need for perfect replication of the surrounding area's of race circuits, or identically matched colours or sunsets, it's about the cars and the racing for me.

 

[natedogg1867]

There is only a problem...never found a UE4 with that graphic running smooth without a uber-pc...
(But I will buy it the same and run on potato settings)

Can this myth go and die already? It's 100% inaccurate and blatantly misleading.

'The Vanishing of Ethan Carter' is a UE4 game and can be played fine on a 6 year old gtx 660. And that game looks better than anything else you have seen most likely.

Ability to lower graphics settings, and decent optimization is all it takes. UE4 is not inherently more difficult on your gpu than any other game engine.

Stop propagating this garbage.

It's a not game screen. This pictures for ads & investors.
BUT i'll buy game anyway

Don't think they go for color palette of any game, Forza and ACC both are just inspired in their coloring by real photographs. I'm glad they went with more natural color palette, not a fan of AC color palette sometimes, it's not natural. The greens and blues don't seem quite right, now they do.

And it's obviously in-game, Kunos never posted any other.

As for the @Xela1 "No cars in the images, because they haven't figured the lighting".

Not buying this. We already saw plenty of images of cars at Monza in similar lighting conditions, which looked great. Once you nail that on one track, why wouldn't it work in others. The color palette of the environment is very similar in Monza and Brands. In daytime everything is illuminated by 1 light source (sunlight) so what's there to "work" on?

They simply wanted to highlight the track this time, believe me. It's good to be critical, but what you're saying gets into tinfoil territory.
