Assetto Corsa Competizione | Intercontinental GT Pack set to release February 4th

[Ricoow]

Teasing is nearly over! In just a few days the Intercontinental GT Pack DLC will release and bring us 4 amazing circuits from all over the world.

Kunos Simulazioni has been teasing us over and over again with all screenshots from the 4 tracks they are bringing to Assetto Corsa Competizione. Teasing us with Kyalami, Bathurst, twice with Suzuka and twice with Laguna Seca, they have now finally announced the release date of Februari 4th. Just a few more days to wait...

If you really can't wait to see the new tracks, Kunos have added to the art of teasing for you. They released an onboard with Aristotelis Vasilakos, their very own head of Car physics, around the track of Bathurst! You certainly don't want to miss that as he gives some great tips on how to do Bathurst in the GT3 cars.

Assetto Corsa Competizione is available now on PC. Intercontinental GT Pack release date is set for February 4th, a price is yet unknown.

Want to race the new tracks with our community? Take a look at the ACC Race Club forums!

I wonder if Kunos will release a new patch on the same day of the release of the Intercontinental GT Pack?

Yes, they have never released content without an Update to the game, AC or ACC.

Jesus!
Is there anybody who would not buy it if is 25 or even 49 Euro and not 19?
This discussion is pathetic.
I'm far from being Rockefeller but I don't care the price.

Forum about a GT3 game, took me a while to realise you didn’t mean Mike Rockenfeller...

I’m sure it will need some patch, if just to deal with the rules and carsets. Hopefully it’s a more comprehensive one.

Already announced that the full time 2019 IGTC entries will be there, so it's hard to expect something like Mika Hakkinen's SmaCam McLaren that was at the Suzuka 10H, for example.

Insta buy for me, Kunos have given this Sim great support and showed other Dev's how it's done, They don't release a flawed sim and abandon it to move onto something else, They see the job through and i'm sure UE4 has been a big challenge for them, Great job Kunos.

your comments are so classist... so based on your thoughts we should be all buying the latest hardware to play ACC?

The only ones that act classist are a lot of VR users, they act self entitled as if they were more important and prioritary than anybody else, when in reality they represent a very small but very vocal minority. Do you know how to discover if a forum user has VR gear?, they tell you about it in almost every post.

ACC devs made a very big mistake picking UE as graphics engine, and now they only can make very little about a graphics engine with such a small dev team with a graphics engine they know nothing about because other developer team of people built it and keep moving the goalposts with every aditional release of the UE.

So deal with it, ACC is a resources hog like first crysis was, and it isn't going to change. I believe that kunos devs have learned the lesson the hard way, and for their next sim I hope they will be smart enough to avoid UE like the pest.

If the next sim is released in another 4 to 5 years, by then I would expect to have UE optimized by Kunos.

Another thing to consider is the constant performance improvements from generation to generation in GPUs.

If you drink the Nvidia kool aid, the Ampere will be 50% faster than the current generation...

a graphics engine they know nothing about

While I understand where you come from, and to some degree agree, this wording is a bit too loose. I bet by now they know an awesome lot about it and how to squeeze the best possible out of it. Its just that there are technical and legal limits for them.

Stay classy, guys.

Being on VR myself, on my rig the experience is absolutely playable and visually acceptable, even good, and frames are smooth. Its just pushing my rig to the performance and temperature limits - in this it is second to no other in my software library.

Just a fun poll, but may also come in handy later as a reference guide if everyone participates. Due to the recent announcement that ACC is to officially support triples and someone mentioning that it will please a very small amount of people (which was also mentioned a while back regarding VR...

THAT'S RIGHT - I'M A VR USER, AND I EXPECT TO BE HEARD ABOVE EVERYBODY ELSE.

DID I MENTION THAT I USE VR.

If the price of DLC quadrupled I'm pretty sure that a lot of people would not buy it. I'm a big Kunos fan boy, but their reasonable prices are part of the reason I'm such a fan boy.

*Adjusts monocle VR headset* The audacity of these monovisuals is quite alarming.

When talking about "no cars" for the DLC.... I browsed through the entry lists of IGTC 2019 just now. Aside from GT4, MARC cars, Mother Chassis,...etc which we will most likely not get....But what about this one from Suzuka 10h?

- Callaway Competition with BINGORACING (JPN) - Callaway Corvette C7 GT3-R

 

[Rodger Davies]

Guys, please can we leave the 'VR or not VR' chat elsewhere for this thread? More important things at hand.

Which track are people here planning to take on for their first laps? I'm currently planning Laguna, as it has the shortest lap length, even though I've enjoyed that in far more games than the others. Think I need to dial myself in a little bit before trying the unforgiving nature of Suzuka or Bathurst.

I remember last December, when some Oculus update changed decent performance into a nightmare, so there are several factors to consider.

Rift S user here, just in case you were wondering wheter I would say it or not.

Also, when ACC was released without 3 screen support, there were a lot of very vocal users showing disappointment on forums.

Would be ace, but they would have announced if it was in the pack, so we can't expect it to be unfortunately.

I'm very excited to drive first in Suzuka and Bathurst....but all tracks are superb!!!! Laguna is also challenging....BTW...all of them!!!!

Not at all.
For myself I have a Ryzen 5 1600X and GTX 1060...
And I accept that no way that I could run the game in VR.
But I did see vids on YT, where dude ran the game on R72700 and GTX 1080 and it was fluid.

 

[RichardHessels]

There is a rumour it includes kangaroos crossing the track.
