Assetto corsa coming to PS4 and Xbox one

[ALB123]

Ok...I do believe you when you say that there aren't really any other driving/racing games on the PS3 to play. That's fair. Again, I've always felt that the replica cars setups you post driving much better than the stock versions, for me and several others. Some people liked Priano. Everybody who couldn't tune on their own, like me, had their favorite modder. I've always spoken very highly about your work and I will continue to do so. I personally think you make the cars more fun to drive, yet more stable, etc..Remember that I actually offered to buy you a copy of Assetto Corsa as a "Thank You" for providing me with the tunes I enjoyed so much in GT6. I genuinely thought you would enjoy the driving aspect of it since you seem to enjoy GT6's driving aspect so much. Apparently, I was wrong.

I don't know anything about the SMS situation because I've never followed anything relating to pCars. Still, it strikes me as odd that you hang out in a forum for a game you don't own and only press the link button, and pretty much do it on every single negative post, however, you've never hit Like on a post of a new PS4 user coming in here and saying how much fun he has had. It's always the negative posts. That's indisputable.

I also find many of your questions dubious, at best. For instance, someone will say something about the Nissan GT-R NISMO. What is your question? You ask if Kunos put (I don't remember the name of it) the proprietary LSD into the GT-R NISMO. You asked if the Lamborghini Aventador SV was coded with the HALDEX AWD system. Yes, Ridox. These companies walk into the offices at Vallelunga and drop trade secrets on the desks of the Kunos programmers. What I do know, however, is that more often than not Aristotelis and Stefano (and maybe other people too, for all I know) DO sit down with the actual engineers who work for these car companies to get specific information on how best to simulate some of these types of systems in the digital representation of the actual car.

When the Mazda RX-7 (I think it was) came out in the Japanese Pack, one of the first things you said is they aren't doing something with the rear wheels properly. I don't even remember exactly what it was - I know to say four-wheel steering is incorrect. I know it has something to do with bushings or whatever, thats not the point. Now, Aris specifically posted that not only did he speak directly to the engineers at Mazda...but they tracked down an engineer who is retired but actually worked on that system when it was first put on the car, to fully understand how the system works. But you know for a fact that they implemented it wrong because of something you read in a brochure? Do you think Aristotelis is lying to us to impress us? Trust me, they don't care about us that much... I wish they did!

I think it's pretty clear that you have an incredibly negative opinion about every single part of Assetto Corsa. That's fine. Everybody is entitled to like or dislike whatever they want. In fact, I honestly would tell console players NOT to buy Assetto Corsa right now, personally. I think it's a shell of the real thing and it's lacking a lot of stuff that the PC version has and more importantly its missing some crucial elements that are necessary for enjoyable console play (custom lobbies).

There's a reason I liked those post, people already said a lot about FFB being fantastic or other positive things. I feel I need to supports those who have trouble with the game, like online issues. Liking a post is a mean to show support. Like what I did to @TT92, I feel the region lock, lack of private lobbies are going to make future of owning AC bleak on PS4, I'm in South East Asia, imagine how barren this place is online and my time zone +8 GMT I will have to get fellow racers from outside GTP.

Whether I will enjoy AC, that remains to be seen as I haven't got the game yet. Right now I'm allowed to ask questions right ? Would you be so kind to tests the things I wrote before, caster, SAT, counter steer etc and let me know what you find ?

Please don't believe whatever you heard or read from devs They want to sell the games. About the Mazda, I knew about the system since long time ago when I was in Sydney, driven and talked with tuning garages who worked on RX7s. Mostly prefer to kill it with harder bushing

Here is simple fact, the Mazda ND also still have similar system implemented as RX7 FD, go see if AC also has it.


For GTR, the ATTESA-ETS has never been properly simulated in games, even GT has issues. I doubt Kunos can get it right as the system works in unison with Super Hicas, ABS system, steering/pedal input, and G sensors ( it's not just dynamic torque split according to speed and traction on rear wheels ). One of other things that bother me is the power output on turbo cars, I really wished games would use real car dyno power than manufacturer claim. BMW M4 for example, is so much different from real power to manufacturer claim.

If you think I'm very negative because of my posts and likes, then what can I say.... mm, I should say the sound is very good, the steering animation, weight transfer looks realistic.
If I do this in official AC forum, I may not survive a week

 

[killerjimbag]

I don't care about those 2 people you mention, I lost respect for both them long ago, whether they can do great tunes or not. We are doing different build on cars, different purpose. I'm curious though, have you ever driven my build in GT6 ?

What impression ? My last post was asking about AC physics as I don't have the game, care to answer them ?

Here is an example of a review of my build, it's not going to make GT6 better than others, but it shows different perspective from someone who played Rfactor and AC ( on PC ) with wheel, but also plays GT6.

Have I tried your tunes,yes. Did I like them no.I use a wheel,you use a controller.I like to race,not pretend I"m driving a "replica" in a video game. GT6 is the absolute worst game to replicate anything even close to a real car. How do I know your replica is actually real? You can spit out numbers and stats all you want. Until I see a build sheet or engineers build sheet,how do I know your numbers are correct?
I haven't played Gt6 since PCARS came out and I have no desire to play it. It's crap compared to PCARS and AC. Why would I want to do a test for you. You clearly don't like me.You've posted your dislike for me.
So the answer is no. Go buy the game.Hell someone even offered to buy it for you.Or go ask your buddies who don't like the game to help you out.

Why should I like someone who continuously belittle me from beginning ? You have been doing this since more than 2 years ago in GT6 tuning forums. What was the reason ? Because I used the word replica ? Because of no ABS ? or is it due to other member/tuners in GT6 ?

Please tell me, what is exactly your problem with me ? I have been very curious for long time. When I posted again in this thread, I knew you and johnny will come and quote me, why is that ? Just like in FFB vs physics thread. Feels like in Pcars forum or AC forum PC vs console peasants

I doubt Kunos can get it right as the system works in unison with Super Hicas, ABS system, steering/pedal input, and G sensors ( it's not just dynamic torque split according to speed and traction on rear wheels ).

I'd love for a sim to properly simulate the various versions of ATTESSA, they're so unlike other 4WD systems of their time (especially the earlier versions). AC has a brilliant AWD model compared to Pcars and particularly GT6, but you can easily tell from the way the GTRs corner that they use the same 4WD model as the other 4WDs in the game. It's not an issue, as the 4WD model is, as I said, brilliant as far as sims go, but it would be awesome to have the ATTESSA system properly simulated.

One day

You cannot replicate something that doesn't exist. Would you like to show someone your exact numbers for your replicas and how you arrive at these?Especially on GT6,which is a complete joke at even being close. The issue,I'm pretty sure Alb pointed out in his well wrote reply to you. I'm not on PC, console player.Never said anything about peasants.I actually play the games,I actually own the games.So your intitalled to your opinion. Just back it up with play time.

I build replicas to at least get close to the real car data ( power, weight, suspension, LSD ), then go from there to tweak and make it drive closer in performance ( including dropping to lower grip tires from stock ) Would that be better than stock GT6 cars ? I get it that you don't like my work, and sees it as useless or a joke, I'm fine with that. Only a few few people drove my work, and I don't expect people with your attitude to be polite either.

It puzzled me how different can the impression from one to another about my work, from Legend-1 which have long experience in PC sims.

I should never used the term replica, it's not really the proper word for the work I did anyway. People would just used it to mock.

I see all cars created by devs as "replica" / better word "virtual version" and I may just called them "builder" with bigger resources, so to speak, they try to imitate the real car in virtual environment, replicating the reaction, the behavior, the unique traits, the basis of physics that build them and properties that make up their distinct driving experience. Some does it better than others. GT6 happened to be on lower scale than AC and Pcars.

You are not answering my questions about AC physics. Would you be so kind then to give your thoughts on the caster, SAT, and other stuff I wrote in AC ? The E30 M3, Mazda ND, Porsches PTV ?

EDIT :
Please answer this :

I can answer this part, at least in the console version, I can't speak for the PC version, which is by now fairly well ahead of us.

The caster is non-adjustable, so testing it's effect on wheel weight and SAT is really difficult. With that said, the SAT is fine at speed as far as I can tell, but at low speeds is very weak with some cars. Depending on the car, you do have to guide the wheel when drifting, mostly in the tighter corners.

I tried doing the donuts with the wheel full lock into the donuts, only with two cars, and in both of them, the wheel wouldn't pull out. You could just stand on the throttle and it'd do endless 'nuts without needing to touch the wheel. This seems connected to the low SAT at low speeds.

As for the ND MX5's diff: You can't change anything in the diff settings, so the entire tab in the setup menu is inaccessible in the PS4 version. The PC guys should be able to access the data though.

 

[ALB123]

Okay... Legend-1, who I think is a very nice person, has played PC sims and he really likes your setups. In your eyes, you're proving a point somehow that maybe Assetto Corsa isn't all that it's cracked up to be because Legend-1 said your setup(s) feel as good/better to him. That's legitimate. But, if someone believes that Assetto Corsa feels much better to them than anyone's GT6 Tunes, somehow that's not legitimate? That's basically what you're saying.

I was hoping that more people would give their impression on the subjects We have talked about this in conversation

Any chance you could try caster effect on E30 M3 ? It has adjustable caster for sure, like the real car do.

Sorry, you misunderstood me again, jimbag has been saying that about GT6 long before AC. I talked about his impression on GT6, nothing to do with AC. Legend-1 happened to compare it to rfactor and AC. Why am I sensing emotional tone on your post ? I'm fine with AC being better than GT6, didn't I say that already when I said about whats lacking in GT6 which can be considered as crap ?

I also have talked about LFS in my garage, how I hoped GT would have similar physics, did you ever read that ?

OK this is about AC,not LFS,not GT6,not RFACTOR. It has nothing in common with them other than cars that go around a track. You have said that PCARS was terrible,6 hours of play time on a game that according to you was constantly a glitching bug fest.You like every AC post that slams the game.But never played it.
No developer has anything correct on car modelling,as if you have developed a video game before.Were you a mechanic or engineer over the last year's,or someone who reads car pamphlets. My wife is an engineer at Toyota,has been for 27 years. She laughs her ass off on half the crap posted in the tuning forums.

[ALB123]

There is no emotional tone in my posts. It doesn't bother me who likes or who hates this game. The only reason I brought anything up is because I've been finding it so odd that you would spends hours and hours trolling the AC Forums, pressing the Like button on every negative thread you find...occasionally asking questions you already know the answer to. Remember, your contacts... I figured you must be doing this on the pCars forum too and that really is odd, to me...Maybe it's not odd to anyone else in here besides me.

I know how passionate you are about making the cars of GT6 more "life like". I've said it to you 1,000 times. I enjoyed driving your tunes tremendously. Anyone can go to your garage thread and find probably hundreds of posts where I complimented you on providing a much more fun experience. Some people don't like the tunes, and that's fine too. I've only ever hung out in forums that are related to either something I do/enjoy or something I want to do or want to enjoy. I stopped visiting the GT6 General Discussion Thread, the Seasonal Event threads, etc. because I don't have anything constructive to contribute - I don't play the game anymore. I found something else that I enjoy much more. I'm not saying everybody should be like me, this is a public forum. It's just strange behavior to me, that's all.

Honestly, I can't believe console players have to wait until November 30th to get the Porsche Pack 1 DLC. WTF? Is that another one of those "its Microsoft & Sony delaying it!" type of things, like with game updates? And the crazy thing is, they took the money from console players for the Season Pass already. At least we didn't have to pay until the day they dropped.

Kunos needs to get their poop together for our console cousins after the New Year because let's face it, we all know things slow down around Christmas/New Years time...

Hours and hours ? I wasted lots of time because people like johnny and jimbag keep quoting me I'm a troll now It's fine, you never understood me well enough it seems Those likes were given with no intention to troll, should I like all post then ? Those praising needs no further affirmation at all, the people who have trouble with the game needs support, look at what is expected thread, it's eerily similar to official AC console forum, where poster like @TT92 gets advised to sell the game, ridiculed by PC user or being viewed as whiner. I already sense defensive vibe since the release of console version here, it's like they have big financial stake on it. Maybe there should be epic whining and crying thread and epic praising thread

Now I just liked your post, I'm "trolling" now I'll say this the last time, I only wanted these kind of games to have proper working physics first and foremost. Since I asked about caster and SAT, no one has answered except for @Mike_grpA.

From the likes you get, I can also see people who have similar views, like mister dog, warriuszero, roccotts, jimbag, johnnpenso, and others. You should see similar trend with giving likes on post that they deemed favorable to AC, like what johnny keep doing

Now, I wished I had money for PS4 and AC I would get them in a heartbeat, along with Pcars GOTY Open a garage here, and gets lots of flak from same people if I have anything negative on it

 

[WarriusZero]

This thread is getting boring.

Please stop arguing and bickering. I know what a forum is for but you've been going on for long enough to realise that you are never going to agree, that @Ridox2JZGTE is always going to complain, even if he ever buys the game, that he'll carry on throwing at our face all these figures and stats (we get it, you know how to look for technical information) and that people look for different things to experience fun and/or realism and they will find these in different games.

Some people liked Project CARS. I don't know how but I'm not spending my time telling them they're wrong and I'm right. (I'm not saying I'm right, by the way, don't misread me!)

Similarly Assetto Corsa is pressing the right buttons for a number of people, EVEN ON CONSOLE. And to those who complain that this or that is not properly simulated, go read Pajandrum's post.


In short, stop trolling and stop feeding the troll.

Did Kunos announce this date?

 

[Mike_grpA]

WTF? Is that another one of those "its Microsoft & Sony delaying it!" type of things, like with game updates?

Probably not, SMS managed to get updates out on console every month, and usually very close to the PC update release. It's a bit odd that Kunos can't seem to keep the console version up with the PC version, since the current consoles are basically just weak PCs.

I love the game for the pure driving feel it has, which is IMO by far the most realistic on console, but I have to say I've honestly stopped playing it for a while, because it's just so light on features on PS4. It'd be nice to have things like UDP support, but I'm honestly baffled as to why they haven't even put tyre wear and temp indicators in the standard hud. Considering just how much progress was made by SMS on Pcars, I'm confident that given time AC will become what it deserves to be on console. I'll just wait patiently 'till then.

Any chance you could try caster effect on E30 M3 ? It has adjustable caster for sure, like the real car do.

There's literally no option to change caster on any car in the console version. It's not like it's locked out on cars that don't allow it IRL or anything, there simply isn't an option in the garage menu. Don't know if you can change it in the PC version or not.

 

[mister dog]

Don't worry this came from our gentlemen conversation where i posted the following link:

Seems my compatriots never bothered to click on it

 

[SlimCharles]

Why did you stop ? Fully featured finished game or the AAA prices ?
The game needs major updates to get inline with PC counterpart, IMO, it's a lackluster port when released as it was far behind in comparison to PC build.
For pricing, it's not cut and dry, one can say it's cheap in their region/country, but not all places have similar pricing.
Depends on the region really, in Asia, the AC on PS4 sold for around US $50 to 60+ ( HK and JP for example are in higher price range ) and in certain countries the only way to get the game is via importing. In HK ( Hong Kong ), AC was released with HK $ 399 SRP ( but shops sells more than this usually ), Digital HK $ 398, just a little lower than AAA titles which usually around HK $ 420-440+, budget titles usually less than HK $ 300 which IMO should be the release price for AC if it's not AAA titles. Some PSN title can be less than HK $150. In Australia it costs in AUD $ 90-100+.

If I wanted to buy AC PS4 now from local retail, I would have to pay the same price as PS3 MGS V TPP Day One Edition that I bought back in release day ( US $ 55+ ) due to importing.
Just for perspective, MGS V Phantom Pain ( AAA title ) was released on HK PSN for HK $ 428 on PS4. That's about HK $ 29 difference, or around US $ 4

Here in Spain the game was sold for 50 euros in GAME with prestige dlc (45 if you buy it in the store), 50 in the store with the performance dlc, and 37 in some places with performance if you preorder it.

Thats not AAA prices. AAA prices are 60 for sony exclusives in the store and 70 for the rest.

In the rest of europe i think it was the same. America too. Is very unaccurate to stablish that Assetto corsa released at AAA prices. That what you are pointing seems to me more like rare cases. Nevertheless, is not honest to say that the game was sold at AAA prices without specify.

In the rest of europe i think it was the same. America too. Is very unaccurate to stablish that Assetto corsa released at AAA prices. That what you are pointing seems to me more like rare cases. Nevertheless, is not honest to say that the game was sold at AAA prices without specify.

$88 on the Aus PSN store, and $100 at EB Games and JB Hi-Fi on release. It was definitely a full price release here. If you pre-ordered a physical copy and bought the season pass here, you'd have spent $145.

Every place was sold under the AAA price. AAA price in AUS is 100 (store). But yes, I agree in some places was more expensive. The thing is with retail copies is maybe 505 dont have the reach of other distributors like EA, and it cost more money to get the game in some places.

I think certain region gets favorable prices, not sure why. One of my example, digital HK PSN $ 398, full price title is only about $ 29 more ( US $ 4 ). As I said earlier, IMO, AC should be in the HK $ 300 or less or about US $ 39, that's what non AAA title priced at in Asian region ( disc or digital ), not $50

Well that's neither here nor there. If you wanted a physical copy of the game, you paid the same price as you would have for GT6 when it came out, or Pcars when it came out, or any other full priced title. Not all AAA games release on PSN at $100 in Australia, some are cheaper on PSN compared to physical copies at retail stores. By the same token, some are far more expensive than $100, especially games from the likes of Ubisoft and EA that have ten different versions of the same game with various amounts of bits chopped off lol.

I'm more leaning on pricing strategy for different regions, Asian seems to be getting the worst, like no DLC available for purchase on PSN ( AFAIK, as of today )
