Getting one of the currently most prestigious racing series into the boat is a step backwards? (that is a reply the post on the last page)

It will be interesting to see the underlaying structure of the sim and how everything changes OR not changes. Like that Kaspersky 485 is probably the same model we already have, just sprinkled with water.

wonder if THEY can get the AI to work in the rain.. Hope so by 2018... no one else has yet,!

It's getting "one of the currently most prestigious racing series into the boat" by throwing everything else out.
Not saying that I won't play it but GT3 will get boring fast.

My only concern is if they can manage to really structure the MP with rating etc.
If Kunos nails this it will be fantastic.

 

[Kristaps Dzelzgalvis]

GT3 cars only? Where are my beloved street cars?
Not interested atm

 

[ltcars]

Let's not forget, I think it was Kunos's first game with the Ferrari Academy, focused only on one brand

I'll buy it day one because I actually love the GT3 Cars but I guess it'll not be for everyone and it'll certainly be a step backwards on mod support and car variety.

Considering how popular GT3 is in AC multiplayer, and how little there is anything else... I think they struck gold with this. Combined with the eSports aspect.

Focusing on something is of course less variety, but more quality. pCars 2 tried to offer everything for everyone, and we saw how that went.

Of course GT3 is popular in AC multiplayer: it is the only category that has many cars.

IMSA/USCC or SuperGT would have been more exciting than another bunch of GT3 racing, but if there is actual endurance racing and if there are not too many compromises on playability it should be nice.

Btw Blancpain Asia would have been more exciting than European Blancpain.

 

[ShredatorFIN]

Perhaps yeah. But imo also because they are easier to drive. More accessible, and still plenty of T1 incidents

 

[LeSunTzu]

You reduce the number of T1 incidents by 75% with a rolling start.

GT3 is popular because noob's can go fast with not much effort.
Street cars + old bias ply tire race cars is where AC shine

Judging by your profile pic (I suppose it isn't you) and name you are probably asian, for me living in europe I'm more biased to the European series, you can't make everybody happy. But as Kunos is located in italy they had their one interest to do an european series

Well, just keep driving AC.. shrug

 

[CobraCat]

I've come to the conclusion that a disproportionate number of sim racers are a greedy and miserable lot.

 

[Guillaume Francois]

The GT3 fields is the most popular, simply because as race cars they are the easiest to drive with tc and abs.
But there is a big difference between a larger population who can do a lap under 2.20 at spa, and those who go under 2.17 in quali, and 2.18 in race conditions.

Let the ESport begin.

 

[cubadoo1]

It amazes me at all the gt3 pro drivers we have here that think the cars are easy to drive and boring and i bet theyre seconds off the top times.

 

[Kristaps Dzelzgalvis]

Agree!

GT3 car is easy to drive fast, but hard to master.

[Trezoitao38]

This means GTR 3 canceled again?

 

[Hoksu]

Assetto Corsa already has an enormous amount of GT3 cars, so do many other games. So I'm not really sure this official license is all that great to players.

Adding night and rain, and dropping cars that aren't GT3 or GTE, seems like a really bad trade to me. I like GT3s a lot but not overly excited about this one
