Assetto Corsa: Release Candidate Previews

[Bram Hengeveld]

Kunos Simulazioni just released a first batch of previews of the release candidate of Assetto Corsa that is about to be released in the upcoming days.

During our visit at the press event last week we already brought you the table of content of the game with some new details on the upcoming full version of the game.

Today the first preview images of the release candidate show the Shelby Cobra 427SC, that will come to the pc simulator as a free bonus car. The much awaited addition to the competitive GT3 class: the Mercedes SLS GT3. A little Abarth duel. The Ferrari 458 GT2 and of course Ferrari's flagship vehicle the LaFerrari on a laser-scanned version of Spa-Francorchamps.

If you haven't purchased Assetto Corsa yet you can pick it up directly from our store and of course with a 10% discount if you are a premium member of this community.

It is the first game i ever bought. And i don't know why but from the start appeared to me as the best simulation out there. Now, no doubt.

 

[Simon Roberts]

Looks a little cartoony to me.... Yes i know its not a cartoon but you know what i mean.

 

[Paschalis Gkergkis]

Can't wait for the RC. By the way has anybody heard anything about weather system? I never saw mentioning it the last year.

 

[Michael Young]

WHEERREEESSSS THE DATEEEEEEE D:< lol

 

[Simon Roberts]

There wont be any weather in 1.0 was the last official stance i remember.

Never regret the day I bought this game and spent 200 hrs on it for the past 4 months, now i have to think about upgrading my GPU and triple screen? arghhhh!

Only 200?! lol

Can't wait! Spa in LaFerrari

 

[Dan Allen]

When is that bloody Spa update coming? I can't help but think this is all just one big practical joke

Surely triple screen is obsolete now? Occulus Rfit or alternative versions must be the way to go.

that could be just post processing on the pictures, they're very high contrast with alot of colour saturation.

The high contrast look is something I don't like about early access but if they give me the ability to change it in the settings it won't really matter. At the moment the blacks are blown so there's no detail in dark areas.

 

[Dan Allen]

You can change it. Just turn off post processing FX in the video options....

 

[Phil Davies]

And there's post process filters in the apps bar.

Only 200?! lol

Haha come on man it's only 4 months, and for sure i'll clock up another 200 less than 4 month after 1.0 release for sure!

Hmmm good suggestion but I've never made any research on this product yet except looking at some youtube videos. But I think the price is a bit too high for me at this moment

The consumer version of the Oculus Rift will be a "Must Have" for most people. The videos you see don't do the experience justice at all. The 3D is awesome, combined with six degrees of freedom just cant' be matched by triple monitors IMO. Triples will have an advantage in terms of overall image quality but, not overall immersion factor (IMO). The Rift is ideally suited for games where you are seated and your hands on the wheel match your sight and feel quite well in most cases.

I've been using the Rift DK2 for well over month now and am still blown away by the experience every time I use it. It's amazing but, you won't understand what it's really like until you try it firsthand. Nothing I've ever used before offers that level of visual immersion. With that being said, it's not for everyone. Those who are very sensitive to motion sickness may not be able to use it. Try it before you buy it applies but, wait until the consumer version is released as it will have many improvements.

BTW, I can't wait to try the Rift with AC. Bring on the RC!

MEGA epic.

 

[Dan Allen]

Agree with Dean. OR will absolutely make this game when it's fully released.

 

[Ricoow]

Only 200?! lol

I only did 64 hours in 6 months so IMO it is pretty much
