Assetto corsa coming to PS4 and Xbox one

[WarriusZero]

When you develop something from scratch for the first time, you often don't know how long it's going to take. At best you can make an estimation but these are often wrong (source: my experience with estimation sessions).

The more we wait, the longer they've had to work on improving the game.

 

[svenvangent]

No, wait better not to, else half of game studios would be closed down by now

You are waaaaay to good Karsten , take 90% if I may say so .
Ok wait ...take 88% I like that Nr .

Well folks, finally I’ve got it complete my ,

2016 Christmas Whish List:

GTS - Kaz finals of “Dancing with the Fia Stars” at the “Inauguration” of the game.
GTS - Chaparral 2D only car sounding “vacum cleaner”.
PCars - All around fixing & Healing.
PCars - AI “Staying behind the white lines” and behaving like cars instead of “Cars”.
Pcars - AI that passes around your car and not “through” it.
PCars - Friendlier “Wookies”.
AC - Brakes pedal feed back and tire noise when locked wheels drag over the tarmac.
AC - AI tuned for difficulty levels named “An Officer and a Gentlemen”, Ït’s a Mad Mad World”, "Gone In Sixty Seconds”, “Fast And Furious”and “A Bridge Too Far”, racing.`
AC - Chit chat that ends with stunningly beautiful, charming, lovely, sweet, curvy, swaying, (Oh I love that gal l!!!!) Laura Pausini singing “White Christmas” along Luciano Pavarotti, (They did with Natalie and Nat didn’t they ?) with Stefano strumming his Fender Custom Shop Telecaster in Contracanto, and may be, just may be, some white bearded old Sim Racer fellow, dressed like Santa, squeezing his belows.

Alien AI giving me some great races. Not bad for a division 5 Gold qualifier back in GT5P. I'm faster now than in those days - but I wonder if someone really fast finds Alien AI too easy?

I don't do many races, but the problem I found was that the difficulty wasn't consistent.

I could easily win some races in Alien (even with mistakes) while in other cases I had to bring down the difficulty level two or three levels to have a chance.

When the game was delayed 2 times were a lot of complains saying "it was better that they didnt announce any release date and launched the game when it was ready".

Dont understand the complains with the release of the patch. Dont know any game in console that gives release dates of patches, probably because they dont know exactly when it is going ot be released.

The patch is coming, thats for sure. So why keep complaining? Is like the kids in a road trip "are we there yet? are we there yet? are we there yet?". Relax, enjoy the game and dont give up to impatience.

Also im reading some thoughts that are dangerously close to paranoia. Why the publication of the last community blog contradicts the words of Marco saying that the patch was already in MS/SONY hands? In the blog there is nothing releated to the next patch, only the panamera and the silverstone track; that were already announced before.

I believe the Panamera and Silverstone comment was in a paragraph that started with "our next major console update is just around the corner." I conclude this "update" will come in the form of a patch.

Delays and glitches will happen. I get it. Kunos could have provided easy communication of the delay. Now it is approaching a month since Marco's comment, and it makes him seem dishonest. Why? Because of the precedence that console gamers have experienced with other games. pCARS console patch consistently arrived 1-2 weeks after Steam patch. EA Sports announce FIFA PC patch on Thursday/Friday, with console patch the following week. Console patch arrives the following week. Codemasters announced most recent F1 patch to be available to consoles on October 19. My PS4 downloaded a patch on October 19.

 

[sirgaric]

You guys keep making comparisons between Kunos Simulazioni and... S.M.S? OK, not a big big studio but... Codemasters? and... ELECTRONIC ARTS?

Wonderful.

I dont know of that comment, im talking about Marco message. He said "and on PS4 and XB1 as soon as Sony and Microsoft approve the new build". Posibilities:

- The build is still in approving process
- The build had problems and Kunos had to fix them.

Very unlikely he said that when they didnt have the build ready. This is a very stupid decission.

Another thing, like sirgaric is saying the team is minuscule in comparison with that developers (and the game is cheaper than those games too).

You only have one example, and that date, announced by a huge company like codemasters, wasnt exactly a date. They said the patch was comming around 19 of october. But they, like the rest of the developers, cant figure out when exactly sony and ms are going to release the patch.

I'm aware that Kunos is a small studio. I'm not sure what that has to do with the ability to answer whether the console patch was submitted to Sony/MS and why the wait for console patch is longer than other multi platform games. The comparison is not to other studios; it is the precedence of other multi platform games patches. Console gamers only know what they know. Don't get me wrong. I want AC to be successful. I only attempted to answer SlimCharles' question as to why the uproar from console community.

This is the point, mate. First, Marco's facebook post (Sept 17) stated Porsche 911 Carerra S on PC, PS4 and XB1 in October 2016. We know the cars are added to game database via patch. Then, that comment you quoted. 1+1= ...

 

[Ryan81]

Place your bets! Chances of seeing either the update or Porsche pack 1 on console this week? My gut tells me pretty much zero. You guys...?

Oh, forgot about the mythical Red pack too....After 2.5 months, still no sight or sound. Looks like the Season Pass will be going into March/April next year.

No, that is not true. The 1.03 came without the japanesse pack. Few days later it apeared. DLC and patches dont come by the hand.

And no, read the message again. He didnt say that the patch was coming on the 3 platforms at the same time. He said that the patch was coming to PC in october "and on PS4 and XB1 as soon as Sony and Microsoft approve the new build"

I've never bought a season pass until this. Does one come every year or is it a lifetime worth of updates?

Not sure what time period a season is but its definitely not a lifetime.

 

[Ryan81]

Season Pass will last, I assume, until we get the Red pack and all 3 Porsche packs. So could be as early as January or could extend into summer next year

 

[SlimCharles]

With the season pass you get de red pack, the japanesse pack and the 3 porsche packs.

There is going to be a Season pass 2 almost for sure (lots of new cars coming the next year and Laguna Seca).

It's a joke

You should slow down a bit, especially since you're all over the place with your statements.


First of all, content does come through patches and then it's unlocked via DLC. And that's how it happened with the Japanese pack.

Secondly, @OooAhh Cantona was careful to write the date of Massarutto's post, but you didn't even bother to check. It's this one:

I know, but some may find it lacking in humour.

I'll definitely be going for season pass 2 as well. Oh yes! 👍

 

[Johnnypenso]

Which goes for any humour. We know it's a joke so why not let it be?

 

[SlipZtrEm]

It'll be four weeks since the "approval" comment this Friday. I really doubt it takes an entire month for either Sony or Microsoft to approve a patch for a game.

For the first Porsche pack, September became October for PC players. We're halfway through this month: will it even slide into November for consoles?

 

[SlimCharles]

I didnt say otherwise

My bad. I didnt bother because i thought we were refering to the post of october, almost no sense to point that date. You are posting a message from 17 september. At that time not even 1.03 was released. Marco probably said that as a referencial date and maybe thought they could release the second patch about that time. Many things could change in a month.

And as a matter of fact, one month later Marco say Porsche come in October in PC and in consoles as soon as MS/Sony aprove the patch. Since then, maybe the patch was rejected or unlikely Sony/MS are taking that time.

And we arrive to the point @WarriusZero is saying. The team dont reveal information because they dont know exactly when they are gonna be able to do things? People complain. The team reveal referencial and unaccurate dates to please people? The people complain if the date isnt perfectly accurate and call them liers.

PS: By the way, very arrogant manners. Its even worse when the point you are making isnt exactly accurate.

 

[35mm]

I didnt say otherwise

This sequence below suggested otherwise:

No, that is not true. The 1.03 came without the japanesse pack. Few days later it apeared. DLC and patches dont come by the hand.

I must have misinterpreted it.

PS: By the way, very arrogant manners.

Not sure where you're getting the arrogant vibes from. It's not like I'm writing in huge, bold letters...

They really didn't say that day that they sended the Update to the approval process.
In all games it takes from 5 days up to 2 weeks the approval process.. (Project cars, F1 2016,Dirt Rally.. and so on)

But yesterday Stefano Casillo replied this to an user:
