Assetto Corsa Competizione Coming to PS4 and XB1, Arrives June 23

[DriveSpark]

Hmmm i know i said i wasnt going to get this due to the class of cars are not my favorites , ive been on the first one all weekend, kinda like it, hmmm this new one is cheap aswell £34 hmmmmm i may try it .....

I am tempted, because I like the GT3 class, but to be just over a week from launch and not even having seen a screenshot let alone gameplay doesn't bode well. The PR woman for 505 games seems to spend more time tweeting about some switch game and letting people in to her instance of it (some sort of cutesy farming game? I've no idea) than actually promoting games.

Obviously won't be as good as PC but we know the PS4 is capable graphics wise, as GT Sport shows but the first one wasn't amazing in this department , there are quite a few grumblings around about PC version of ACC having bugs that aren't getting fixed too.

I'd really like to see a commitment to a next-gen patch as well, that should bring us to near PC quality, but given they can't even clearly announce DLC dates I guess we've no hope of that.

Lets hope the 16th brings some clarity, that gives us enough time to pre-order and get the intercontential DLC free... If it doesn't I'll probably pass on this one sadly.

Oh maybe we haven't seen anything on ps4 because its going to get delayed..hmmmm

Hopefully, we'll have some answers on the 16th.

Here's the YouTube link for the event:

Me I am just waiting on the day.
I not one to try put myself off a game or expect to much I know what possible on pc & I know the limitations of a console.

The video of last year F1 2019 make the game better than it was so video are nice but until the game is here you won't have a clue what it can or cannot do.
Just have to wait 9 days or more.

I don't tend to get hung up on "Winter 2021", especially since 2020 only has roughly 10 days remaining (December 21-31), compared to 80 days in January, February, and March. Do we otherwise think they're aiming for the last 10 days in December 2021?

That being said, I'm sitting here with my Xbox One S and I've got the game preordered even though I have no idea how it's going to run, what it's going to look like, etc.

I guess we'll just have to see...

That one thing I hope to hear about the pS5.

Shame here , I will show my 1st mistake in the game & 1st crash lol

The lack of video / update is frustrating but I'm still happy to support a small dedicated studio kunos bringing this game out to PS4 with a pre-order.
After all, AC is still the reference driving game for me, and PC users seem fairly happy with ACC.

 

[nicefrog]

You guys sure have a lot of concerns for a game that runs at over 100 frames a second on a 10 year old potato PC. It'll be fine on ps4.. everyone chill . The original Assetto Corsa is still as of today the best sim on console. ACC will be fine.

 

[sithmetal71]

ACC Xbox version had an update today, it is now over 10g in size.

Just hope we see gameplay soon.

 

[imported_rik19]

The original game???^^^^^^

Here's the YouTube link for the event:

Reading the description it doesn't seem as if the event will be focusing on the console version at all

 

[DriveSpark]

ooh look, we get a "community guide" for consoles.. https://acc.505games.com/console-community-faq-guide/

anyone good at cracking passwords ?

That's weird... I could swear the description was different before.


Still, on the e3expo website it is still mentioned the following regarding 505 GAMES' event, which takes place today:

Tune in on June 16th at 8am PST for a virtual preview experience ahead of Assetto Corsa Competizione’s PS4 and Xbox One launch on June 23rd.

We’ll explore how Kunos recreated the GT World Challenge Series in their latest title and what’s more, we’ll also take a look at how SRO Motorsports Group is engaging with fans by embracing eSports in the GT Rivals and SRO E-Sport GT Series.

Guests include SRO Motorsports Group eSports representatives Robbie Montinola and Anthony Comas, as well as GT3 champion David Perel, pro coach Guy Cosmo, Bryan Heitkotter and Kunos’ very own Marco Massarutto!

A live moderated press Q&A will conclude the virtual session, allowing for open questions and a continued discussion around of the benefits, challenges and opportunities simulation games are offering to professional racing groups, drivers and teams, and their dedicated fans.

Media Contact: amunson@505games.com for registration information to access the Q&A.

I'm going to be so disappointed if they don't fully preview the console version. So let's hope the e3 expo site is correct.

 

[MarcoM]

If they don't show footage, I will not pre order this time.

 

[DriveSpark]

Hopefully thats just PR fluff to keep the SRO deal happy and we actually get to see the game for longer than 5 minutes.

 

[Magdelayna]

Winter 2021...LOL. These guys seem to do everything in slow motion.

 

[Whitestar]

Winter 2021...LOL. These guys seem to do everything in slow motion.

You have to remember that they're a small team. Judging from the silence in the forums right now they are probably working their ***es off. Which is usually the case before a big release.

We'll probably get anywhere between 10-60 seconds of footage lol, and I'm not joking. Hope I'm wrong.

Winter 2021...LOL. These guys seem to do everything in slow motion.

winter 2021= Januar/Feb, for 3 new track, and this small team will have had two games out on PS4 whilst first party PDI only will have released 1. That's not so slow.

 

[Hygrade B]

Two different times for the same event

 

[Jtheripper]

Probably at 11am est.
In 30mins now.hope to see ps4 version and info on consoles.

 

[DriveSpark]

The 4pm one gives me a countdown, but the 3pm one doesn't, presumably because its 15:25 here..

505 really need to take a look around and learn how to promote games, their twitter account is just full of death stranding reposts, they even re-tweet themselves for something they posted a day or two previously. Utterly woeful.

 

[Famine]

Two different times for the same event

It starts in 32 minutes. We'll have a post up shortly.

 

[Jtheripper]

Kunos our 'console only hope for real genuine sims', we wait you, don't forget us hehe. Pls..

 

[Tired Tyres]

It's live now and very good.

 

[MarcoM]

Interesting showcase.

But did we look at console footage?t

I think that is what many viewers are after.

 

[DriveSpark]

Had to join a conference call - have we actually learnt anything we didn't know ?

seems to be a bit of a waste of time.

 

[MarcoM]

@DriveSpark , you haven't missed anything.
