Assetto corsa coming to PS4 and Xbox one

[BrandonW77]

there will be that one psycho that uses a C9 Sauber as their reference car.

I've just preordered the Prestige edition from Game UK, nearly half the price of what they're charging here in Ireland.
I'm just praying now that I'll get it on or before release day!

 

[Scuderia Paul]

If a racing game has Monaco I use it as a reference. It is a tradition since I used to buy all F1 games right back to PSone and not because I like the circuit.
With Assetto Corsa I will go for an all-new combination and use the Lamborghini Huracan Super Trofeo and Circuito di Magione. After that I will be off to Mugello, as I really like it, with an all-time favourite of mine - Maserati 250F.

All that is only after I go through all cars and check out each livery.

The Gamestop Ireland page is just the placeholder info. It won't be €75. It better not as that is where mine is pre-ordered!

I'm an open wheel fan, so the first cars I'll drive in AC will be the Tatuus & Exos.
Does anybody know when the Red Pack DLC will be available on console? I'm really interested in driving the 2 Ferrari F1's.

 

[Tired Tyres]

If you people need a recommendation, try the Yellowbird at Imola. Lose the default track day tyres though. And set the track to green as well. Just don't send me your hospital bills.

I thought I heard it was day one DLC. My Maserati 250F plan goes out the window if not.

Well people will fall into line with the cars they like and others that they cant get along with, there will be that one psycho that uses a C9 Sauber as their reference car.

The C9 is so fun to drive. Like the (mod) 787B, they're my go-to machines when, oddly enough, I feel I'm not understanding what a car is doing. Then there are the joy rides when they feel a whole hell of a lot easier to get along with than, say, the GT40.

Stupid tires made of marshmallow.

Having day one DLC that isn't free sounds like a bad move. Don't think I've ever seen that before. It'd be like, 'hey, thanks for buying our game on launch day, now buy this DLC too and don't ask why we didn't just include it for free.'

Surely they'll wait a month or so to lessen the sting?

EDIT: anyone seem them mention if it'll be free or not on console? I'm thinking not.

In the last streaming Marco Massarutto commented that the "Japanese car pack" and the "Red car pack" will arrive as DLC after the launch of the console versions of the game.

Lies! The only thing that happens to me with the C9 is the following.
1. Apply throttle.
2. Hit armco on right hand side.
3. Hit armco on left hand side.

 

[Cote Dazur]

This is a review that will answer a lot of questions on the mind of SIM enthusiast wondering if Assetto is for them.



About the C9, when driven on the version of Circuit de la Sartre from Tiago Lima, it is a great driving experience, as long as you take the time to learn it and not start with turbo boost too high.

Development on the PC side doesn't stop when the console version is submitted for gold ahead of launch you know.

I assume that means paid DLC?

I've always gotten along with it, so I'm either a masochist or, no, there's no "or," I'm just a masochist.

Winner!

 

[Scuderia Paul]

The Sauber Mercedes C9 in PCars is a handful but huge fun. My first experience of it was joining a lobby of C9s for 10 laps of Spa-Francorchamps at night in heavy rain. It was terrifying and sweaty work and I finished P3. Makes you realise just how poor the GT6 version of that monster is.

Can the Drift Track be used for Time Trial or is it strictly for drifting?

I assume that means paid DLC?

Yep. I understand where you are coming from but we are getting plenty of PC paid DLC included for free. Just think about how expensive Ferrari licencing costs must be and it should not be overly surprising.

 

[Terronium-12]

I believe there is a small loop that you can run laps on, but the entire track itself is open so there aren't any individual ribbons for this or that.

Not sure of your point but mine was that I'd be extremely surprised if the Red Pack was available as DLC at launch or even for free at a later date.

@Scuderia Paul I'm about to play for a bit anyway, want a video showing off the Drift Track?

Sure, thanks that would be great!

 

[BrandonW77]

Sure, thanks that would be great!

In the meantime, here ya go. You can see how there are multiple routes that can be taken so having a proper timed lap would be difficult.

 

[Terronium-12]

I already knew I can't drift but if there's one thing this video proves, it's that I can't drift.

It'll be fun to watch if nothing else.

Thanks for showing me Drift Track. I cannot comment on any persons ability to drift as I so dreadful at it. I have no interest in it which doesn't help.

The Mazda MX-5 Cup Car looks like great fun as you really have to hustle to compensate for the lack of power. It sounds great too.

i think it's broken.

I noticed that too, just presumed it was some new form of "stancing". Sidewaysing? :Lol:

IDK, I think it only proves that you can't drift cars that are really really hard to drift, and the MX-5 Cup is exactly such a car.

Have a go in one of the cars in the drift challenges instead. For example the Z4 E89 (Drift setup). Completely different story. 👍

 

[Stylin]

i wonder if the pre-order prestige cars will be available if you dont pre-order, but buy the season pass? went to actually pre-order from gamestop and the was shocked they arent like every other site and offer free shipping. cheapest is 5$ and it ships on or 48 hours after release it said, i also dont have any in a close range to physically go to, and based on bestbuy not having dirt rally, would gamestop even get my copy of AC in, which is a much smaller title game. would love if they were in the season pass, as i would then just order at best buy and get my 20% discount

Yeah, I remember reading the drift version of cars have more steering angle than the normal cars just like a real drift car.

Been trying to get this information for a while now but no joy. In the UK we need to preorder from GAME to get that pack. The question has been asked on the official forum but no reply from Kunos. Bit frustrating.
