WOAH information blowout!
http://www.simracingzone.net/SRZ/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1169%3Aassetto-corsa-provata-la-tech-preview&catid=8%3Asim-news&Itemid=47

This is the rest of the leaked shots I only caught a glimpse of yesterday.
Lots of awesome info.! Replay viewer looks great, UI overall really.

I like how everything's set by live hotkeys and configurable through "apps."

Nice images, but very poor AA in my opinion.
Let's wait for the tech demo though before making an intial judgement. Initial as it is still not a released game, so it still is being polished.
 
Yeah, especially when we don't know what settings the guy was running.

Looking forward to what Chromatic can do with the TP, if he gets it.
 
It's not a demo, it's a technical preview for I suppose what you could call loyal Kunos fans.

Demo is short for demonstration. A technical preview demonstrates the abilities of the game and its engine to the one that gets their hands on the preview.

So yes it is a demo.
 
Well yes, I just meant it's not a videogame demo as we know it. If it was it'd be labelled as such and be free for all.
 
He's saying it's not in the same spirit as most demos. Yes, you can classify it as a demonstration but it's not a real demo in the true sense of the word.

And your definition of a technical preview sounds more like a technical demonstration.

It is a demo in the true sense of the word. Grab a dictionary.
Though I believe you mean to say that it is not a demo in the common sense of what is seen as a game demo. Though that is wrong too.

You see, for many years game demos have been released. Some were even only exclusively shipped with a previously released product, others were only distributed via gaming magezines for example.
A couple of examples are how the Metal Gear Solid 2 demo disc came with the game Zone of the Enders. And how now with the Zone of the Enders HD game disc we have a Metal Gear Rising Vengeance demo included.

In this case Kunos will give anyone access to the demo to those who bought their previously released game, nkPro.
So yes, it is still a demonstration of an "incomplete version of a product".(quoting your wiki link)

So you can't tell me it's not a demo because of limited access, when this has been done more than once in the past. It clearly is a demonstration of an incomplete product, as they still need to polish the game (otherwise the full version could've been released instead). :sly:
 
Well you just argued yourself around in a circle.

I agreed with you in saying it could be classified as a demo, and "true sense of the word" doesn't imply strict definition.

There's different types of demos. Simon is talking about the types of demos that are released on PSN or the like. This demo that Kunos is using as their technical preview would not be suited for that medium, which you should agree.

I grabbed a dictionary like you asked btw, now my hand's full of dust you jerk.
 
I don't know, I hate this type of arguing over labeling anyway.

It's like someone says, " yo man, pass me that milk over there yeah?"

"DUDE it's A DAIRY DRINK GOD DAMN."

"... o-k, just give me the drink."

Finally, got around transferring the funds to my Paypal's card... Downloading NKP!!

Wow! Finally found someone who understand that the FWD chassis dynamics are the same as those of an AWD or RWD chassis. Such a nice sim to drive, my first car was the Abarth and wow, feels so nice, feels like a real well sorted FWD chassis there's still a bit too much understeer but I'm sure it can be dialed out with some tunning. For the first time I've tried a game where a FWD car doesn't feel like a soft floaty POS!
Can't wait for this Tech Demo and the full game to be released!

Eh... it's not my fault you don't dust the room/books very often. :dopey:

But agreed with your later post. Let's stop the arguing and just let the piece of software demonstrate/give a preview of whatever the developers want to show off to us... and 'just enjoy the milk'. :)

Yes! That Abarth feels fantastic to drive! I still haven't tunned proper the brakes. If you have any suggestions...

If you want to try this car as a RWD try the 500 abarth evo mod! (It becomes a little monster) You can download it here

The Magione track (AC tech preview:D) here
 
Racedepartment doesn't work.

Probably due to the overload of the server because the tech preview is being released today? [/end speculation]
 
RD is down a lot lately, don't think it's related to AC.

So guys, looks like I have a delicious onion I must take a bit out of on video since I was totally wrong in assuming I could go by Stefano's word x'(

The only condition I must partake is that I only take a bit out of the onion right before I actually start playing the TP; this way I can immediately chase it away with pure good driving food for the soul.
 
Sounds fair. :D

I do find it very odd that there's people out there playing the tech preview, but us ordinary Joes for whatever reason, can't. It's quite frustrating.
 
Press get it first I suppose. Or more-so, friends of Kunos that either have sites or make hardware.

I knew we should've made a site or buttonbox or something a while back Imari, dang.

Kunos is getting set up to be put on Steam Greenlight!

Awesome news!

Help support and spread the word once their thing's submitted, we need to vote vote vote.

Thank you sir!! Will definitely get some tracks from them! Are there any versions of the Ring out there??

It was revealed on their Steam Greenlight page, which just went up!

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=128612208

Go vote for it! All you need to do is have a Steam account, and if you don't have one, just make it, you don't need any games to vote.

Then this Tweet happened:

Man, couldn't be a better time to eat an onion today, short work day then my day off!
 
Gah, I can't hold on for the darn tech demo. I have my burpday tomorrow. grrrr... darn family members finding it necessary to celebrate me being closer to my death... how annoying when there are good games to play. :(

Oh, I am not a game addict. Just a game lover. lol


But to be serious... I really hoped to play this the minute something playable was available.
At least I hope that all of you will enjoy it on my behalf. :)

lol, ahh I'm sure you'll find time at somepoint very soon, but firstly, enjoy your birthday!

Man, I wonder what other Ferraris are to come, a lot of people assumed the F40 would be in for sure... what about the 50? The Testarossa... an Enzo? 360... a 275, 250 GTO,
 
They have to jump through hoops a small studio can never get through unfortunately.

Porsche doesn't historically have a great relationship with sim racing beyond unofficial mods of course.

EA has the license still. Don't know how Forza got it but they probably paid out the ass.
