Assetto corsa coming to PS4 and Xbox one

[Donnced]

Mmmm..why marco Massarutto said multiple times that there will be no difference between PC and console graphics aside...

Hopefully Kunos fix soon the possibility to enable 100% turbo boost, fix the sound stuttering and improve the sounds quite a bit.

Toyota Supra time attack :

PC:


Vs. Console:

 

[BrandonW77]

and improve the sounds quite a bit.

Don't get your hopes too high, the sounds on the PC aren't all that spectacular. It is odd that they took the wastegate sound out of the Supra though. AC (without mods) sounds way better than Gran Turismo but IMO most other PC sims do audio better than AC, with R3E being king of the sim sound.

Yup i now mate...but it's just another diference with AC PC version... And that's number? .... I dont want to lose my faith on kunos.. But they have A LOT of work to do.

In sounds.. Well,menu souds cracking, sound go away and goes mono.. Sound stuttering on track with every car (some more than others) more even when you look at the left or right.
And global sounds stuttering of the Japanese car pack are the worst of the game.

All that with things that are missing and should be in the game cause it's in the PC version :

No general FFB settings per car.
Missing FFB options in general settings like brake pedal sensitivity
No calibration screen
No showroom
No drag mode and Strips
No Telemetry
No HUD apps like tyre temperature and degradation
No Trento Bodonne hillclimb
Sounds dumped down in comparison with the PC and stuttering.
No track type options(green track, old track.. And so on)
No initial grip levels and progression.
Limited FoV settings (from 50 to 60)
No customizable button mapping
No false start
No full race replays
And the very knowed no personalizable online lobbies.

Already reported all in the official forums..i realy begin to think that kunos need to hire more people.. Otherwise it may be complicated to have the 3 versions at top.

At first i did think the consoles where very limited, more due the complex physics engine assetto has,and that was the reason that the console versions are on lower graphics side and content....but then Stefano replied that on the console forum...

So that makes me think that kunos need/had to hire more people for developing and optimisation...

Let's see in the following months what's happening with the console versions.

I had the season pass on PS4 and it just turned up as a free download. Maybe you'll get some sort of discount on the season pass? If not then that's pretty unfair.

I wonder if this is just for EU players? I bought prestige pack before season pass last night, and the season pass was full price. I hope that wasn't a mistake. They were pretty clear that season pass doesn't include it and that makes sense - it would be a dis to the people who pre-ordered or bought the special edition of the game and received it as a bonus. looks like it may have been a happy mistake for the season pass holders and I would be surprised if they didn't address this quickly.

The Japanese Pack is the DLC I've been least interested in, however, I still purchased it. For $4.99 it is an incredible value, especially because the variants aren't just slight performance changes or just a rear-wing thrown on the same body with a flashy livery thrown on. These cars are completely unique from each other. I don't drive these cars much, but the Supras for example really are 3 completely different cars in every way.

I'm not seeing Japanese pack in PSN.. did you buy it for PS4?

*edit to clarify that I bought season pass after prestige pack and it came to $37 for both, no discounts.

So that makes me think that kunos need/had to hire more people for developing and optimisation...

Let's see in the following months what's happening with the console versions.

Have you tried switching audio output mode to stereo LPCM on PS4 ( choose only stereo output ), maybe limiting to stereo output in game may help with stuttering, menu sounds cracking, music issue ( one channel I think someone wrote here ) etc.

 

[BrandonW77]

I don't think anyone would argue with that, but they've kinda said it's not likely to happen. Remember, Forza has the might of Microsoft behind it and not only do they have the funds/resources to put together a big team of highly talented people, they also know the hardware better than anyone else because they make it.

He doesn't have a console, but there's a video of the Supra on PS4 at the top of this page so it's on there somewhere.

Yes I've got my PS4 in an 2.0 output (stereo)
Problem remains, even with headphones (usb ones, 3'5mm jack on controller, 3'5mm jack on TV)
But it's only assetto corsa that got sound issues and problems (on PS4 & Xbox One as i read)

If it's persist in stereo mode, then it's bigger issue than I thought, some PS3 games have similar issue but only when in surround/multi channel mode like DD5.1/DTS5.1, this may be cause by sound engine issue or memory issue when the CPU are heavily constrained by the load, which can be remedied by switching to stereo mode.

BTW, how do you dial camber in the game in PS4 ? Can you see the inner,middle,outside tire temp when driving ?

Yup, first party studios have more recourses that's for sure. And i also understand that kunos don't have lots of funds, but in the las streaming he also said that he wants the studio small and familiar, and know every single person that he has in the studio/s.
But if Stefano don't want to hire / improve the studio.. He really shouldn't put himself and the team in the console adventure.. 

They began the port/development in 2014...With a las 3 months delay with the excuse that it's for "football cup".

Once on the market.. It haven't some basic features needed in a sim...mmm
Things like drag mode that was in the pre release events and not in final realese..

And now a delay on Porsche for PC..caused by the console versions basically.

Like i said, don't want to lose faith in kunos, cause the did/do a good job with PC version, but now there's 3 versions to work on..

[35mm]

If it's persist in stereo mode, then it's bigger issue than I thought,

You have to look only for the fact that exported/uploaded videos from the game show the problem to understand that it's independent of the PS4 output and that it's a in-game problem.

 

[notanexpert]

So when I preordered ASSETTO CORSA and got a few extra cars, was that not the prestige pack? I got like 4 out of the 9 car that are in the prestige pack but not the rest? Best buy by the way... Maybe it was performance pack?

 

[Fredzy]

He doesn't have a console, but there's a video of the Supra on PS4 at the top of this page so it's on there somewhere.

Since I posted this, Japanese Pack has appeared in PSN North America. YAY

For anyone who hasn't bought season pass yet and is going to buy it and prestige pack, buy season pass first to confirm whether it gives you prestige pack.

 

[Donnced]

BTW, how do you dial camber in the game in PS4 ? Can you see the inner,middle,outside tire temp when driving ?

Well.. Complicated.. While you are driving you can't see none of the tyre temperature,or degradation...

You have to drive into box and in the setup screen there you have inner, middle and outside tyres temperature marked.

I was really hoping that in the new 1.03 update the putted an HUD application with tyre temperatures and degradation..

I did the "suggestion" before the update and now again after the Update on the official forums..

That should be in the game since day one together with an wheel calibration screen and a Telemetry screen...

Let's wait and see the next update

I didn't know whether the exported or uploaded videos were from the game running in either stereo or multi channel mode. From my experience in PS3, games do get affected by the sound mode it uses ( Dolby Digital, LPCM, DTS etc ) in some way ( bugs or performance ), I was thinking that changing to stereo could help like in some games in PS3 ( these games have sound issue when in multi channel - game problem that never got fixed like in Stranglehold ), apparently the issues persist in all sound mode in AC.

At least it's accessible

 

[Fredzy]

For tuning consistency, I usually restart the session before trying new changes, so always starting with default blanket-warmed tire temps, do the same lap or two.

Well, just remember that the overall plan for AC is really just an experiment to see how players respond to getting free SUVs in a racing game.

Turn 10 has 10x the menpower Kunos has.
And they have the richest publisher in the world backing them.

And i can't be the only one that feels that AI and handling took a hit from 5 to 6.

Not to mention that Lighting & Shadows are static in FM6.

Replays are also garbage in FM6 and consists a lot of times of just unrealistic close ups of the cars.

This is just a list of things that shouldnt exist in a exclusive with that kind of budget. What Kunos does is great given the circumstances. We just need to be patient, every pc feature will find its way in the console version.

For the guys having this issue, are you using the optical port? Im using it but i can't duplicate the problem

 

[35mm]

For the guys having this issue, are you using the optical port? Im using it but i can't duplicate the problem

I have my PS4 simply connected to my LCD TV through HDMI.

I then have the TV connected to a stereo system via optical cable, but that doesn't affect anything, since the problem can be heard already on the TV (with the stereo system off).


Can you try making a video, like this one? I don't see why it wouldn't sound the same.

 

[Spitfire77]

I need to decide if I am going to buy any DLC for this game. For people with the new Japanese Pack, are those cars available to race online? I can't see it being worth it if I can't race them online, even with the limited online and number of people.

Now that it seems the prestige pack is included in the season pass, seems the season pass is the way to go.

 

[gladbecker82]

Same here. But I only get the season pass once the first Porsche or Red Pack drops. Season Pass does mean some savings and I totally don't wanna spend too much money on the Japanese pack. Not really my kind of cars

Try connecting the optical cable directly to the stereo system instead. I've tried connecting your way in the past and had issues, not on the PS4 though. If the problem persists even with direct connection at least you can rule out the TV as a potential issue.

Sure. It won't hurt. 👍

Now that it seems the prestige pack is included in the season pass, seems the season pass is the way to go.

I saw a post from Kunos on the official forums this morning (can't seem to find it now) saying the prestige/performance packs are not included in the season pass. They didn't explain why so many people seem to be getting them though.

You might be surprised once you drive them, there's a few really fun ones in there. The MX5 Cup was worth the purchase price alone for me.

It does usually mean some savings but we don't know how much as of yet. After the free prestige pack if you buy the pass debacle I'm not so confident anymore. I'm actually quite annoyed that I could've saved and put my £8 towards the season pass with prestige pack for free instead of buying the prestige pack at launch.

Think I'll wait to see how much they'll charge for the Red Pack before making a decision. Also, was the Japanese Pack the same price on PC as it is now on console? That'd be an indication I guess.

Yeah this is the cheapest one because it doesnt have a track.

Look at the steam prices for reference on each of the dlcs.

Should be a good reference.

I'm trying my damndest to find the post where they said those two packs are not included in the season pass but I've been in too many threads today to remember where it was. It was a screenshot someone posted. @brownninja97 did you happen to see what I'm talking about or did I just imagine it?? I've not seen any explanation as to why so many people suddenly received those two packs.

My best guess (and this is a pure guess so don't put much weight in it) is that each Porsche pack will be $9.99 and the season pass will be around $25. The big DLC packs have historically hovered around $10 and while there's no track included in any of the Porsche Packs I think the fact that they're all Porsches can demand the $10 price, and then knock a few dollars off if you pony up for all of them at once with the season pass. Again, just speculation based on past DLCs.

Thanks. Really depends on how much the Porsche packs are going to be though as all that other stuff is in the console game already. I think.

EDIT: thanks @BrandonW77. There'll be around a £5 saving I suppose. Standard stuff.

 

[Nielsen]

I actually ended up buying the Japanese Pack today and not the season pass for the following reasons:

1. Buying the Prestige Pack only to realize that some got it for free made me hesitant to also cash out for the pass.
2. The Japanese Pack turned out cheaper than I expected. Season pass savings could end up being pretty insignificant.
3. I'm not completely sold on the Red Pack and who knows how much I'll crave the third Porsche DLC after the first two.
4. I don't really feel like investing a lot in the future of a game that still has a small mountain to climb on consoles.
5. It's only been a week since I purchased the game at full price. I'd rather not spend a fortune at once.

That's just 100% pure speculation on my part, but it seems logical.

Be glad you're not in my shoes, I've spent over $1,000 on sim racing goodies in the last month. Now that's a fortune! (I have no self control)
