Assetto corsa coming to PS4 and Xbox one

[Johnnypenso]

to be fair the UK doesnt really know what season it is ever.

last month we had snow, hail, rain, sun and thunder in a single day.

That takes a whole month? Never been to Canada eh?

He said it was in a single day. He's not lying, I visited the UK once in late summer and I had to take a jacket with me everywhere but I'd only ever wear it for 10-20 minutes at a time because the temperatures would swing that quickly. I thought Indiana had screwy weather but we look as stable as San Francisco in comparison.

I only went to canada once, all i saw was snow and under dressed people. Then again i always feel cold, i hell i went to Dubai where it was 50oc and i had to wear a long sleeve shirt.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

You mean fall right?

lol well that's embarrassing

Really glad to hear the reviews are positive so far. From Failrace, talking about the physics on the PS4 version vs. pc:

"They [physics] are spot on. They are actually fantastic. There was no adjustment time. As soon as you got behind the wheel of whichever car they were driving it immediately felt exactly like I expected them to. The cars behave as I would expect [based on having previously driven the pc version]"

That's great news
If anyone is interested, here's Assetto Corsa latest japanese DLC which will be included in the game from day one on PS4.

Geesh I miss a week of posts and there are 2 here. I miss a week of posts on the gtsport thread and there are 28 pages

 

[Johnnypenso]

A great event by all accounts from Kunos, letting people drive the cars on track and in the game at the same event. Brilliant!

Sorry for the disappointment, we are too busy enjoying our favorite SIM, their is a French saying, "happy people have no history. That is why it is so quiet here.

Unlike the GT Sport event here the cars are not only for watching

 

[Ryan81]

Jeez, August 26th seems so far away....Hopefully another DLC will come along in the interim to add to the collection

 

[TVR27]

I'm buying it.

 

[Scuderia Paul]

I think it is about time Kunos released a new console gameplay video or a batch of screenshots at the very least. Keep Assetto Corsa in the conversation instead of Gran Turismo Sport getting all the attention.

Quite a lot came out with the little event they had at Vallelunga.

I don't know much about game development OR worldwide software distribution, so forgive me if I sound stupid here.

Assetto Corsa was supposed to come out in April and then it was delayed. They announced a new release date. Then, that release date was changed to sometime in August, I believe. How long BEFORE these games hit the shelves at GameStop do the discs need to be burned and packaged? I don't know how many copies of Assetto Corsa they are planning on creating in physical form, but I'm sure it's a fairly substantial number.

The reason I'm curious about this is because I'm wondering what version of Assetto Corsa will be on the discs that sit on the shelves of stores like GameStop and Best Buy. I wonder what cars are going to be included on the disc, since we just had the Japanese Pack - does it make the cut? Now, we know that the console version is going to be the same as the PC version, but there is most certainly going to be a day one update for console players, right? I'm just curious how big that update might be. Did the discs already get created? If so, then console users have to download all those Japanese Pack cars at a minimum. Get my drift?

So, the important question is...How soon before the game is available in stores do the discs have to be burned?

A gold master has to be done a month before release date to be sent for pressing discs AFAIK. Of course you can still work on a Day 1 patch during that month.

Thank you. I would have guessed at least one month, minimum. In fact, I wouldn't have been surprised if you said 60 days...

 

[Tired Tyres]

I saw this interview yesterday

Assetto Corsa - Interview about Console Version, Virtual Reality, Drifting and F1

& I think he said they have to be done by July to gold for August.

 

[brownninja97]

Towards the end of the last gen and definitely with this gen going gold doesnt really mean as much as it once did, its just the files that get sent to sony/microsoft(not about nintendo) and the files that put on disc, this is to check that they abide by their security aka assetto corsa isnt a large zero day virus that destroys millions of consoles. There are some other checks as well which i cant exactly remember and has likely changed since i was involved. There is almost a hundred percent chance of a day one patch for users. its always like that now. So the now "soft deadline" as my former boss called it isnt the most crazy part.

 

[Thematic]

i was talking with one of the devs about this the other day. if the wheel is supported on the console then it will work with AC, its designed so even wheels that dont exist yet will also work with AC

My hopes and dreams crushed, but thank you.

 

[super_gt]

 

[Johnnypenso]

With all the talk of GTSport and Forza Horizon at E3 I didn't even realize AC was there.

 

[SimTourist]

It's coming along very nicely, looking good and not far behind if at all high budget games like forza and gt. Very impressive, kudos to kunos.

 

[Scuderia Paul]

I didn't realise Assetto Corsa was present at E3. I am very impressed with what I see and it makes me more anxious to get to play it.

When is PC expecting it's next Dream Pack?

 

[super_gt]

I guess you mean the graphics,because in terms of physics is obviously better than the other two games

Don't know but there is an announcement today at 2pm UK time. We are at BST at the moment so one hour ahead of GMT.

That's right.

What a coincidence! I checked and it seems to be an Italian Pack so perhaps some Maseratis. MC12 would be great and the MC12 GT1 a dream addition to the game when it finally appears on PS4.

 

[brownninja97]

Btw "italian pack" is a placeholder devs named it that just to mess with people.
