My best guess for this is that they're compensating the fact that digital preorders didn't have the option to get the Prestige edition.

Whatever the case, good for you. 👍
 
Seems online is a bit of a bit and miss for me. On the one hand you can get some races with exceptional clean and fast racing (had an amazing GT3 race at Spa yesterday), but then the next race is the typical noob demolition derby. Qualifying is very important - if I don't find the time to get a lap in then I tend to just hang back in the first corner and just do a slalom around the spun cars!! :lol:
 
Xbox One Patch now finally available too.

3.33 GB.

Japanese Pack is also now viewable in the store, but with the remark that it''s only available in a package aka season pass. Will probably available tomorrow for everyone.

Hope to see another Digital Foundry video then to see what they've improved.
 
@Nielsen I mostly race against AI, on PC, but depending on track/ car combo I regularly play with the difficulty level of the AI to get an interesting race, interesting for me is not to win, but 10 to 15 laps somewhere in the pack passing and being passed and I don't mind if it takes me 10 laps to have a clean opportunity to pass and if I end the race 13 of a 15 opponent race, as long as it is close and fair racing. Knowing the car and the track very well always bring the best racing.
All that to say that contrary to a lot other AI, Who are not using the same physic, AC AI usually acccelrate very well off the curves and you can floor it right behind them and stay right behind until the next braking point which if the level matches you ability should pretty equal. In other SIm we are often faster than the AI in the straights which make for dull racing. In AC the AI is always fast in the straights even on low level, make sense since pressing the accelerator is not that hard, the only difference is at lower level they brake earlier and take the curves slower.
When I race online the aliens are always faster than me in the straights because they have better lines/higher velocity in the curves and I am not an alien.:)
One advantage we have over the console players is how we can apply a specific strength/difficulty setting from 70 to 100 (or is it 80 to 100?) They only have 4 or 5 levels of difficulty, as far as I know. So, we really get to fine tune the AI difficulty. With Content Manager, you can apply a range of AI strength! It's great.

No need to rub it in! :lol:
 
Now, that's just great... Was going to play for a bit, only to find out that the throttle pedal on my T300RS is broken.




It's under warranty, but still... 🤬

Sorry for the O/T again, but my replacement pedal set has arrived*. :D

Can't wait for the weekend, to try all the new stuff.


*You can read about the experience here.
 
l think it might be season pass as l got the disc version, which is great as didn't expect that as not listed as season pass dlc:)
 
Tried a race on Black Cat County on Xbox and the framerate is totally unplayable shortly after the start. Had to quit. Didn't occur in qualifying though.

Overall I think it's a good patch,graphics seem a tad crisper than before. Just not too excited in case we might need to wait a longer time for the Red Pack and see how slow MS was with releasing the patch.

I personally like though that the GT3 grid does no longer have the Praga in it. They fixed that.
 
I purchased the Prestige Pack today and this is actually the first add-on I've ever used on the PS4. Hence my question, isn't the pack supposed to be listed in my downloads list as recently installed content? You know that screen where downloaded games and updates are listed. I'm asking because the PS Store gave me an error as I finished check-out and I had to restart my PS4 before AC recognized my purchase, which had gone through despite the PS Store error I got.

I'm sure all the packs I bought for pCARS weren't ever listed there; they'd just appear in game after downloading.
 
Is it possible that add-ons don't download but simply unlock once purchased? I find it strange if there are downloads we can't monitor.
Yeah I think that's it. Sometimes the add-ons are already buried in the game code and get unlocked once they're officially released/paid for. Super sneaky.
 
Prestige pack was free for me so I'm happy. It had all 9 cars though so I'm sure it's meant for people who bought the game without any pre order cars in it.
 
So it's free if you buy the season pass? Did anyone out there get it for free if they didn't get the pass? Did Kunos say this is the way it works?
And am I asking too many questions?

Stay tuned...

It might be because I pre ordered the PSN download version. Possibly.
 
I find it really strange that some people get the Prestige Pack for free while others don't. I hope it's an error on Sony's end because this kind of stuff surely needs to be made transparent by the publisher. Anyway, good for those of you who got free cars, whatever the reason is. I don't mind paying for the pack if the money can help contributing to AC's future, but I'd really like to know why I was charged.

I know that car packs for Forza Motorsport 6 are included in the game updates but the packs can still be downloaded from the store and managed as independent files on the system. Of course, it's not on PS4 but it's worth keeping in mind.

Don't forget, nothing's free. When I purchased my Prestige Edition it cost me a few quid more than the standard edition. Reason being, the 9 extra cars.

I understand the current situation like non-Prestige Edition owners get the Prestige Pack for free.

Would be a bit surprised if that were the case. Guess we'll see tomorrow though it would be a bit of a kick up the arse for those who purchased the prestige pack....
 
I paid an extra £7.99 to get the Prestige Pack at launch and won't be too impressed if it can be downloaded for free if you buy the season pass, seeing as I'll most likely be buying that soon myself. Not begrudging anyone else a freebie, but would be irritating nonetheless.
