3 tracks, 2 cars, +40 liveries and support game developers, enough for me

2 cars? Have I missed something?

The cost off the add-ons has already outweigh the cost off the stand alone game without adding this to the list. 40+ new liveries don't mean a thing when people can paint them and do a better job off real world liveries over those generic copy pasd rubbish we away see from developers. So what are you paying for? the 1 track?

Well, an add-on is an add-on. Not sure why you would want it for free because reasons. Three new licensed, laser-scanned tracks are a lot of work and also add a lot of enjoyment to the game. And what are you talking about? Kunos liveries are very good, and this is an official SRO licensed series so of course they need all the liveries! Also, standard liveries are important in ACC especially for multiplayer to avoid connection lag. If you don't like those tracks, ok fine. But this thing about the cost of the add-ons makes no sense. And following your line of thought, iRacing devs are criminals and should be executed. Let's go get them!

My guess is you don't even own ACC and just decided to argue for the sake of the argument.

Usually i like Unreal Engine... for example Rising Storm 2 Vietnam looks awesome with old UE3.

But ACC looks strange in medium or high settings. Maybe in Ultra its better.

Even the ultra doesn't have the clarity that all the other simulators provide on medium settings.

This is mainly a problem with the drawing distance. Maybe everything is better in 4k, but I have 1440p.

I think this person just needs to look at the cost of all the other simracing games.

ACC and all DLC = almost free of charge.

I wish we got some new cars.

 

[Jorge Villar]

I dont like the ACC ingame graphics.

It just looks bad. AC1 had much better post-processing / more vivid colors

There are a few options in the game to tweak colours and other stuff. Did you check them before coming here to complain on this release thread that has nothing to do with this?

 

[F_B]

Haven't played ACC for ages (GT cars are not my favourites) but this preview of Oulton looks outstanding.

 

[DavidT1969]

Oulton Park and Donington are 2 of my favourite tracks. Oulton looks superbly well done too. Hope it's under £20 but I'm buying it regardless.

 

[gecco]

Didn't see that one coming.
Seems ACC is coming to a point where even the most diehard AC junky (a.k.a myself) must accept defeat.
Donington Park AND Oulton Park, AND Snetterton, in laserscanned Kunos greatness, thats just fantastic.

P.S There is a chance for those ending up in AC still...looking at you, reboot team

Join a community and drive a championship, nothing compare to human drivers, i´m driving a league in my community with 40 drivers at the same time and lot of fun on every race

Sounds fun! I must admit I quite like racing/watching the AI battle it out between each other especially on ACC, it has come a long way! Does your league do multiclass racing?

 

[Dan Marr]

2 cars? Have I missed something?

Believe it's the Ford Mustang and Jaguar F TYPE SVR GT4s to be added as race IRL in 2019. The supercharger whine on the Jaaaaag

 

[Terje Helle]

I really dont understand why they dont release these for AC officially. Surely it would just be an additional revenue stream from a considerably large userbase?

Probably related to licensing, and also, you can’t just transfer the stuff from one to the other. Focus on one thing at the time, makes for better workflow..

Ok, what i mean is have they announced any car? They just announced 3 tracks, the liveries and the championship. If there were cars involved i guess they would have made that list.

 

[JayCD]

From those pics, it looks like a realistic Oulton Park, indeed, it's cloudy. A cup of tea, dear?

They keep developing GT3/4 addons, which is nice, but I'd rather prefer they'd switch to a
new AC 2 Sim instead with many series and not just one as ACC is.

Then it would become really hard to develop the realism upheld currently by ACC for the series other than GT3/GT4. ACC is hands down the closest to reality than any other sim by a country mile, it trumps iRacing by so much it makes it irrelevant, and rF2 although close, still isn't quite what ACC is. I agree that the lack of content in terms of track variety and vehicle variety is dull, it has to abide by SRO licensing etc, as it's based off 1 series and a few sub series, it can't deviate from it.

 

[mr_belowski]

Having abandoned ACC in VR due to the performance issues, I gave it a try last week in pancake mode, running at 1080p with all the graphics set to 'epic'. I'm confused by how it looks - the screen shots in this preview are fab, but even maxed out it looks *nothing* like this for me, the image has none of the pin-sharp clarity and details in these screenshots

 

[Majuh]

Show me a sim where this (add-ons costing more than base) doesn't apply.

Project CARS 2

Ahh yes I see your point! In fairness they may yet do a daily reveal (6 days to go - 2 more tracks, 2 cars to cover the marketing window?) - they have also done every car in each series they have done (the Reiter Lambo in 2018!) so I hope/expect it would be there...

 

[Peter Kerényi]

Project CARS 2

I mean, what did I expect? One could have written GTR2 as well.

Project CARS 2 is a 59.99 EUR game to start with, it is no longer supported, and as much as I recently started to rediscover it, the quality of its content pales in comparison. But, yes, strictly speaking about numbers, you are right.

UE4 games tend to look pretty bad in racing games. It has this really sterile look to the environment.

The guy is totally right. The game should had included 50 seasons of F1 with all the tracks laserscanned, and a apache helicopter simulator with missiles and machineguns. And all that for 1.25 euros.

/s

Seriously, I hate developers that milk the games with dlc's, but kunos don't abuse of that and their prices are really fair. And meanwhile they keep developing the sim for years until almost the release of the technical preview of their next sim. The guys deserve respect, the only mistakes they made in the last 10 years was to pick unreal engine for making ACC and to release ACC's 1.0 before it was stable enough.

Anyways, I'm impatient to see what new improvements to the IA Stefano has done, because 1.6 was a very big step in the right direction.

This league is just GT3, but we make usually events with GT3, GT4 and CUP
