I think it depends on what sites you visit. Over here the response has been generally positive. Sure, there are issues, but most people are quite happy with it and seem to believe Kunos when they say they'll address the issues. And I don't think there are really game-breaking issues (have not read about them anyway). There's also very good DLC planned. Other sites have less decent population though...
I actually just commented on that in someone's status update: Forza does.
FM6 released in exactly the state it was advertised in. There were a few minor issues at release — the Shelby GT350R had a subdued exhaust note (since patched), tuning certain small cars gave them a massive advantage in terms of PI (since patched), and some tracks had ill-defined limits (two patches have still not quite fixed that, but it's better now than at launch).
The game has a steady stream of DLC car packs lined up — which I'm completely fine with, since they've all brought all-new cars to the game — as well as two expansions (Porsche and NASCAR, which both came with new tracks as well). But they are feature-complete at launch, and quite polished-feeling.
That's been the biggest eye-opener with playing AC on both PS4 and XB1; the lack of polish. I put in a few more hours last night coming to terms with the pad before I bust out the wheel, and I'm blown away by how un-finished certain things are. Finishing a race is very strange; why am I suddenly teleported back to the pits, and then left to wait an indeterminate amount of time before seeing the results? I'm lucky I read the warnings to not back out until the results are up, or you lose them.
I think its perfectly fair to compare them to any other studio that is producing a title they want my money for, the 'small team' argument cut no slack with me when its used to defend PD and it will get the same when it comes to Kunos. They have released in an excellent sim in a broken game.Yup, assetto isn't so polished as forza,but you have to think one thing!
Forzas are first party studio games, so you have more than 100 people with a good amount of money support and technical support directly from Microsoft, doing the game only for 1 platform (till now an in the case of forza 6 and below)
Kunos with assetto are kind of a indie developer and 30 persons for 3 platforms.
Even with that they where able to port the physics, FFB and sounds like they are in pc and with the Game stable without crashes or big bugs and issues... So for me it's impressive, and like they said, it's just the beginning and the basis..
Let them time to improve, fix and add things.
When the support finished, than can we really talke about what they did or didn't.
In case of an other multiplatform, project cars,it was launched broken, with crashes, lots of issues and game breaking bugs.
They're improved the game a lot, but it's still broken and left the console users without support and two paid DLC tracks broken and useless (mostly online)
So...from my part,i hive kunos my confidence, they released already a game in better state as the Wookie game and with awesome physics..
Its not fair compair big first studios against little multiplatform studios that even got a huge financial state.
Like always, it's my opinion and you're free to agree or not
I think that's still better than not having released anything at all. PD, with all its experience and massive amounts of resources should be very much ashamed. Kunos, they have work to do, but I don't think AC on consoles is something to be ashamed of. Same applies to Project CARS. Both put PD to shame. And I don't think the 'small dev' argument applies to PD, as it's bigger than Kunos and SMS put together.
Not that i noticed.Anything else new in the patch?
I'm not dismissing your opinion, just disagreeing with it.Like i said, it's my opinion and everyone is free to agree or not.
I wasn't even talking about PD,but from turn10.
And a first studio works more out the hardware than a third party studios.
I didn't feel assetto isn't a good sim in a broken game.
It's different from what we mostly know in the console, i have quite fun with the career and special events, it's more, i find even better than the GT6 career mode (in my opinion)
They are options missing, yup! Let see how they improve.
Project C.A.R.S for me is broken, Silverstone classic online you go in box and game crashes or car don't move anymore.
In career and online in nurburgring combined after one hour you keep stuck in box..
Car Sound Online are really bad and cutting from the others,FFB of trusthmaster wheels that fails and let you without FFB in middle of a race. In "no tuning permitted" online if you maked once a setup for that car it's probably that the game don't change your tyres, with no aids allowed lobby, you can change and activate driving aids with the keyboard.
Invisible walls are still there... Your playing in rain,and the in the replay its dry...if one disconects his car stays quiet on track in replay...and so on and so on (version 10.0 PS4) and I'm not the only one who complaints about this thing and more... And What is worst is that the broken paid DLC tracks are fixed since June on the pc,..but you ask them for the fix on console versions and they say they don't find the issue.... Unbelievable.
And in Xbox One there is still the issue / bug that corrupts the save file...
Yes, globaly its a good game, not so good sim as assetto, and ported really badly.
So for me 30 guys working on 3 platforms with a more limited budget did a good port, great sim,nice game, stable and potential!
So like i said, i hive kunos my confidence and I'm sure they will improve the game and slowly put the options on it.
And again, that's my opinion and you're free to agree or not, and it will always be a pleasure discuss points of view with everyone.
Arguably both DiRT Rally and Send Loeb Rally managed it as well, both needing minimal patching.I actually just commented on that in someone's status update: Forza does.

Maybe there are changes, i only tested it for 15 min. First thing i tested was the automatic DOR and it worded fine.Really? Well if the stories of it costing 20 grand a time to put out patches on the consoles, and the patch has very little to enhance the game, Kunos have more money in the bank than they're letting on!!!
I don't think that gives them a free pass. It does however put their result in perspective, especially when compared to a company like PD, that's not even able to put out a title at all.
Ugh! It does sound like too big of a gap between the PC and the console version at the moment. I guess some bugs can fly under the radar, but there is really no excuse for the lack of those options you mention. I remember thinking "What?!" when I saw the first videos and noticed how many things were missing that are in the PC version. Hope you guys get sorted with patches/updates soon.
