Guys i'm still lost are the FXXK P1 Laferrari, all in the game or do they require download? Cause i'm looking at a final console car list on gaf and it doesn't even include the FXXK :indiff:
 
(i did not see a photomode anywhere!?! and if it is there you will not be happy with it)

My impression (after the patch);


* The racing is still great in this game!!

* new tracks and cars are great (isn't ever :D )

Now about the online part, where we are all looking forward too;

On your own in multiplayer sucks balls,... You can vote through the whole session (qualy, race and after the race is finished) if you want to start over or skip.

Lobbies are never changing,.. Going on forever, same qualy same car same track same everything.

In half the lobbies half the cars you can choose are dlc,... (Road cars mostly)
(i heard that the first dlc is free and should be available very soon, so that could change a little.


On a side note, this barebone game is so hardcore online that the casual racer will be gone very soon i think.




TLDR; What the hell were they thinking ,...... . Great driving game,... Below par online
 
ACG review

That's not very positive. And he certainly has a point. The release of AC is even worse at some points than pCARS.
BUT i can live with it because the driving model is awesome and i have faith they can solve a lot of problems in the future.

Yeah I like this guy's reviews generally, very informative and honest (obviously just his opinions). When he was talking about the AI it sounded like he was referring to pCARS' AI, not AC's. Surely they're not as reckless? I'm still concerned by general performance, but won't be able to test for myself for over a week. Argh!
 
Well the driving model alone doesn't sell games to the masses. I hope for Kunos they get all sorted out 👍 because this could quickly turn into a very negative experience on console for them.
For the average console player it's already too late. Only the hardcore players(like me) have enough patience to buy a game and wait for a few months to have a decent quality. I see it as a long term investment, but that's not how the average console players think.
 
Why should they?

I'm fed up with publishers and studios trying to grab money before delivering a finished and polished product.

Regarding the AI: Yes it's bad. Exactly like shown in the ACG review.
 
Guys, just a quick one: I noticed the steering wheel was absent from the latest GTP news vid.
Is this a simple on/off option?

It's the dash cam. It lets you hide the wheel.
Update on console resolution: both run at 1080p.
 
Never seen a wheel removal option before... Interesting
Quite a few games have done this, for example Driveclub, DiRT Rally and Sebastien Loeb Evo to name three PS4 options.

The advantage of the dashcam view is that it tends to have a much better field of view than traditional cockpit cameras, while still being an in-car view. I hope GT and Forza adopt this too going forward.

Damn, I didn't realise DC and DR did it too...!

I'll check that tonight, cos I have both games, cheers for the tip man

Driveclub's approach is a bit different, since the camera is on top of the dashboard, somewhere between it and the window. The instruments aren't visible.

Proof again to never ever preorder, this game is rough as hell. I knew there would be problems with it, could see this coming a mile off.
I'll be giving AC a big miss & stick with PCars, which has it's own problems but I can live them because the grin factor is so high. After numerous patches PCars is in a much better state then on release, perhaps AC might get there too.
It doesn't give me any delight to be writing this, I really wanted AC to shine and wanted to add it to my collection. I hope that those of you who have bought it enjoy the game for the areas it excels, I just can't overlook the issues.

Can you give me a tl;dr on the issues?
 
So IK was going to drive the Spec MX5 car as my first car. Now that's DLC I'm stuck making a choice between the Alfa 4C, the 500 Abarth and the Mk1 Escort.

Guess I have until midnight to pick one.

I don't regret my pre-order. It's still a very good experience to take a car to the track despite all the problems.

I've decided some time ago that the 4C will be my first drive. :D

I got ltd ed PCars 2 weeks after release for £25, I pre-ordered AC because it was budget price anyway at £30 but I was fully aware that in 2 weeks from now it will be available for £15 if not less. Only thing that will keep prices 'high' 2nd hand is if it doesn't sell many at release. For me this generation, whatever people say, we need the eye candy, call me a noob as much as you like, but i want a game to impress me visually, PCars still impresses me and Forza is just beautiful. AC so far looks worse than Shift 2 last gen and about as good as Race Pro last gen.
I'm looking forward to playing it tomorrow and will report back here.
I have a wheel so that maybe this games saving grace, i'll get £30 worth of play out of it but i'll be sticking with PCars and DiRT as main players i'm imagining.

To add some others guys on a car forum i go on have the PS4 version and they are being a lot more scathing about it graphically than on here, they are car guys first (racers) and gamers 2nd though, so if Kunos have chased the console golden goose and messed up they only have themselves to blame, i can see the PC lot already on youtube blaming PS4 and Xbox, but Kunos made the game, not Sony or Microsoft......they could of not released it....
For all of SMS's faults they over reached told a few porkies and used an army to defend the game, BUT, they truly meant for it to be great, this AC seems like a console cash grab, IMO...
 
ACG review

He's playing it on the Xbone (worst performance wise), and without the day one patch neither so keep that in mind.
Hard for me to believe what he says about the AI, as it's very careful and mindful of you on the PC.

That's all well and good but the PS4 won't suddenly make the replays or the fog or the car models look better, ok the xbox may have more screen tear than PS4 but its still there in PS4, anyway where does he say its the xbox one version? Sorry I just watched the whole of that review and man it looks dire, not just graphically but the whole experience.
People can play the "ps4 is better" card all they like, but AC is rife with screen tearing full stop. All you need is eyes and open mind to see it.

It seems like the console builds are very far back compared to PC, i remember seeing so many of these issues or bugs taken out, most blatant being the AI behaviour still using the previous style two lanes system. Few people called it that it would be a rocky start but thats to be expected i guess considering the number of devs they have being so low. The upside is that a lot of the problems are fixed on another platform, its just a matter of integrating it but may not be easy considering they are on that limit of resource allocation. Cant say ive had the performance problems that ACG has had and servers seem to be working fine. As predicted people are bloody insane online though considering the number of online people i think its restricted for whatever reason, i know of at least 100 people that have the game and im sure more than 5 of them would want to try online. That screening process that the two console manufactures use is ridiculous compared to Steam where you dont pay and get instant uploads. Sony and MS seriously need to make it easier for updates to come out if they want more indies on their systems
 
Bug/issue on AC PS4 V1.01

Once the Update installed in the track selection screen there are track duplicated (before update it was ok)

The PC version has been updated, what twice? since the console version was locked for Golding. It's behind the patch version that's all. It will catch up but it will take a bit of time.
