Just curious: is there's any reference on the disc version of it being the Prestige edition (outside, on the box)?

I'm anxious to hear reviews about the XBox One version of AC. It seemed rather suspicious to me that there was never a single pre-release video of AC being played on the XBox One. It was always the PS4. Yeah, I know there are resolution differences, but they still should have shown it -- it is what it is. You can't hide it forever...And why hide something if you're proud of it? I could be acting paranoid for 'nuthin, but it just seemed so odd to me.

Wouldn't Kunos have control over who was getting those preview versions a few months ago? I would have thought there would be just as many well known, respected game reviewers on XBox asking for a copy (or however it works). Maybe it just worked out the way it did. Deep down, I don't think Kunos is the type of company to hide its product, the XBox version, because it's inferior. I mean, they'd be busted day 1 as their reputation would be destroyed if the XBox One version was total crap...It just seemed odd to me.
Thanks for sharing @RoccoTTS -- I think it looks pretty darn good on XBox One.

Interesting to know what licensing/legal conundrum leads to this odd livery revival.

I know Team VVV has an X1 copy and probably most game reviewers have a copy but IMO they just show the version who is the most popular. At this moment pCARS sold 1.01m copies on PS4 and just 0.22m copies on X1.Wouldn't Kunos have control over who was getting those preview versions a few months ago?

They probably have some control over who gets the preview copies but not necessarily which platform they use. Kunos can be a bit naive at times and might have presumed the reviewers would naturally spread themselves out between PS4 and XBone, only to find out that most reviewers chose the console with the better graphics and larger potential player-base. Who knows.

Agreed, if you're racing and constantly looking for your breaking points an apexes, i'm not looking for perfect graphics. As long as they are decent i'm happy.

Naturally go with the considered best option to preview, not trying to start a console war as have owned both and with the fanatec and sony battle could be another migration on the horizon for me

According to this website the windows version sold 0.10m copies.

Yikes!
I just did some googling and I came across a site called steamspy.com. According to that place, pCars has sold about 120,000 more copies than Assetto Corsa. That kind of surprised me. I just hope console sales exceed their targeted sales goal for AC. I have no idea what their overall console sales goal is, but I don't think it can be too high.

I'm confident the guy from ISR said the publisher gave them the copy, maybe they ask them which platform they wznt it on too?Wouldn't Kunos have control over who was getting those preview versions a few months ago?

Team VVV have said in youtube comments they have XBOX one version but Kunos have locked the code till Friday.... seems Kunos are trying to possibly hide things... hmmmmm, hope not.
edit, just watched the vids for xbox above and actually looks really really good and better than any PS4 footage so far, not a comment on the PS4 more a comment on better capturing equipment maybe?

None of them are by kunos(well ISR & VVV did a free copy though), they said its technically embargoed for the reviewers so these guys are random people that got the game early, this sort of thing is commonplace because small shops need to get as many sales as possible before the big shops open, i used to always get games a week or two weeks in advance
Well we have seen gameplay of the xbox version already and it was working fine well the same as the ps4 verson with a bit more jaggies or aliasing. seeming as bug report videos get more views than positive videos i dont think it will be all that bad.

He can already play it right now.
Not sure if you were referring to the MX5 above but that's not from the game. There are supposed to be improved reflections coming to PC in 1.8 though. On the PC you can adjust parameters related to reflections since they can be pretty taxing on some systems, not sure if that option will be there on consoles since it will just be optimized for the hardware of the PS4/XBone and shouldn't need to be adjusted.

I was referring to recent rumblings that improved reflections would arrive soon, not the MX5 picture. I also suspect these improved reflections were shown in the images Marco posted of the three cars coming on August 26th, but I'm not sure about that. Anyway, is 1.8 supposed to mirror the day one patch and vice versa?

Not sure. This is what Stefano posted about improved reflections, I don't think we know much more than this. I think it's mostly just better anti-aliasing, not necessarily shinier.
Not sure, but hopefully. After launch the console versions will lag a bit behind PC versions due to things like having to wait for MS/Sony approval.

I'm surprised by all the early copies floating around at various retailers across Europe (Germany, UK, and Netherlands have been reported so far). I don't remember seeing other games leaking to customers as much as this title does. How many people are we here on this AC board? It's like 30% of us have come across buyable copies already.
