Assetto Corsa: Tripl3 DLC Previews

[Paul Jeffrey]

Kunos Simulazioni, by way of Licensing Project Manager Marco Massarutto, have been teasing some exciting looking footage of four new cars due to be released for Assetto Corsa before the end of August.

The stunning Praga R1, Ferrari 488 GTB and Ferrari FXX K will form part of a new DLC package, Tripl3, to be released alongside the game update to version 1.8. As part of the new update, Kunos will also be making available the Audi A1 S1 Quattro as a free addition to the sim.

All four cars have previously been revealed by the studio as part of their recent summer webcast, however the new preview images and videos present the first opportunity for fans to really have a close look at the latest Kunos offering. In particular the Praga R1 looks like an interesting, and little known choice to bring into Assetto Corsa.

Version 1.8 has promised further development of the core game "under the hood", with possible FPS improvements currently going through testing with a view to being rolled out as part of the 1.8 release. As previewed earlier, version 1.8 will also bring some visual improvements to Assetto Corsa, with good progress having be made with the games reflection properties and antialiasing results. Coupled with the potential FPS improvements and further expansion to the number of cars running v10 tyres, 1.8 could very well become one of the more impressive releases from the studio in recent times.

Assetto Corsa is currently available for PC via the Steam Network. Console editions of the game are due to be released at the end out August.

The in game videos of the Ferrari FXX K, Praga R1, Ferrari 488 GTB and the Audi A1 S1 Quattro can be viewed on the Facebook page of Kunos Simulazioni's Marco Massarutto - HERE.

I thought it would be
- Ferrari 488 GTB
- Ferrari FXX K
- Praga R1
- Audi A1 S1

$2.99 is reasonable.

 

[Christian Moreau]

Instant buy too

2 Ferraris and a cool looking Road/GT car? Always insta-buy.

The pack costs 2.99 but there's also free additions like the Audi s1 and Monza oval. I'm more intrigued about the FXX K because I like the road LaFerrari a lot (only not now because of differential issue that was fixed for next update).

Sure about Monza Oval ?

Sure about Monza Oval ?

Kunos showed it on stream and generally new content in stream comes in a next update, and was always mentioned as free.

 

[Vincent.C]

Recorded. Thx. It will be fun

 

[Salajutsu]

Might be the first time I don't really care for the cars of this pack.....well....that Praga though...FXX K is neat but more glam than anything personally. 488 GTB is cool, but same. Honestly, new Ferrari is all the same to me except race cars and still, they are the same to me. So it's all the same. Sameness to be the same, for Samesake. ah JK I'll probably still buy it..

Wow, if anybody is on the fence about buying AC on PC, with this deal you can buy the AC + Dream Packs bundle and then buy the Japanese Pack and Red Pack and still be under normal retail price for the standalone. That's some pretty great value!

Amazing amount of content that will take ages to get through. I've had this title since the day it launched on EA and I've still not gotten through all of it yet...

Where did you got this price? Is it official ?

But wait, the internets say that Kunos are just money-hungry liars who are trying to gouge everyone and release a NFS clone that's disguised as a full fledged sim?? I'm so confused.......

Something something tin foil hats....

Yes it is officially $2.99 US.

 

[Ernie]

2,99$? It's a steal!
Even if i'm not really interested in these cars (besides the Praga), but i'll definitively buy the pack just to support Kunos. They have made big steps in the right direction with the last updates.

 

[fastracer]

Do we know if this is a midnight release

 

[Michael Hornbuckle]

Maybe midnight somewhere, but usually updates go live somewhere between 10:00am to 1:00pm US CST

 

[norbs]

I am not sure, but don't the updates/DLC come on a Thursday? Is this one a day later than normal?

 

[Amir Vodokotlic]

So according to xbox one threads all the PC DLC's are locked on console.

PS4 season pass is $44.99.WOW

Makes me worried PC dlc's are heading that way too.

The PS4/Xbox season pass includes.

 

[ZethGAF]

It's obviously less than the total price of all the DLCs that are coming - I'll get it as soon as it's available on Steam.
