RENNSPORT to Add Porsche 963 & Goodwood Hillclimb to Closed Beta

Ingemar Petersson · Jul 17, 2023

RS is good and its extremly good if you have a monster PC but i think its going kick the &%¤& out of ACC..... The 963 yes GW no.

Not gonna lie, I'm not blown away by this this sim thus far. Let's see how it develops with time but I'm shelving this for now

wonder if they are asking modder's from AC to make car's and tracks for them?

At first I didn't like it. Then I gave it another try, started to push cars, and it felt like rF2 before GT3 tyre update. That is way better than ACC even now over the limit. Although RS lacks the nuances of complex ACC physics, FFB is spikey, sounds are meh and many other things to do, they are on the right track.

The fact that I actually enjoy driving beta RS over ACC says a lot. And it even looks better all maxed out. (5900x and 3080)

Being involved in ESL has really made me drive this game a lot and... Idk, tyre model is way too permissive, in order to be fast you need TC0 and u have to slide through the corners, i don't think this is going to translate to a very good Hypercar experience, unless the car uses different tyres.

I like open betas.

That's my input right until thing can be reached over desk in the stores.

I don't sense any kind of hype with this sim, I don't know why. Somehow it feels underwhelming, however I feel a lot more hyped about AC2. I'm fearing that this sim was going to be about as popular as automobilista or project cars.

First interesting car imo.
Let's see what the future brings. When they add VR I'm curious.

I know why. Because they have absolutely zero track record. Its a completely unknown entity thats making a sim with mostly cars that are already in other established sims and on top of that with a still somewhat unclear business model. I remember how i was eagerly awaiting AC1 back in the day. But why? Because i knew who made Netkar Pro.

I disagree it looks better then ACC... not even close yet .... also, performance wise its not even on the same level yet.... especially since it hasnt night and day transition , rain, triples etc... wait until that is added to the engine and then recompare

ACC still has that ugly dissolving/popping of far away objects. Can't say about performance yet, RS doesn't allow AI races. I run both on max, capped at 80 fps single monitor.

I could only see it on some tracks during first lap, after all textures are loaded it doesn't happen.
This is on Samsung G9 (5,120 x 1,440) all maxed out with DLAA. (not DLSS)

They should start working on the 12 car limit instead, topping out at 12 cars on a track in 2023 is laughable.

"Have you received a beta key already - and if so, what are your impressions of RENNSPORT?"

Yes I have a key, my only impression is that they forgot the VR users.

Brownninja97 · Jul 17, 2023

Said it before and ill say it again. This being EGS exclusive will prevent it getting popular. Guarantee you people wont even know its launched. Happened to so many games on that platform, how many games have to launch on that terrible platform before they learn

hypervoodoo77 · Jul 17, 2023

Just really not feeling this.
dont really know why either

I think that while it may be part of it, I suppose that it worried me what I perceived that their business model was going to be in a past article here months ago. I'm way too radically opposed to the software as a service business model, reason why I never even tried Iracing despite being funded by the same people that once was in papyrus making my favorite simulators when that studio still existed.

But I also feel a lot of disinterest and lack of engagement from other users, when the orignal GTR was released the developers where modders turned into a studio, they had no track record and despite that there was a lot of hype before the and after the game was released. And the thing is that they even got to live up to the hype. I don't have the same feeling here, for some subconscious reason I perceive this somehow kinda as a money grab and as bandwagoning more of the same gt3.

Haven't been able to get in to this yet to be honest. Graphics don't look anywhere near as good as that trailer for me, even when set at max. Feels like it stutters and the FFB feels a bit mushy. All just my opinion of course.

What's so terrible about it? At the moment it's less bloated than Steam and benefits developers more by taking less cut from sales. If you actually care about games and developers you shouldn't support the Steam monopoly.

Problem with epic is the user base and discoverability, theres a lot of cases of games pretty much disappearing from the front pages of the store that a standard user would see, theres no algorithm like steam or gog to show a user what they would likely want to see. Few people will come around this game without searching for it. Sure its a higher percent of money to the devs but its a two way street, why should I support a platform which gives me an inferior experience, no reviews, no forums, no patch notes, no simple controller support. If the devs use some inferior service why do they deserve more money.

Steam is the opposite of a monopoly, they dont hold exclusives, all devs are free to use it or not, they charge more because they offer up a lot more services for gamers and the devs, who else provides free forums, free game servers, mod hosting and discoverability tools as well as they have
