V0.8 speculation

[Richard Eriksson]

Showing such a screenshot of such an iconic car to all race enthusiasts, then refusing to tell us more... Chinese water torture would be nothing compared to this evil...

I hope for sparks (which were in the tech preview btw). Would really help with bottoming out etc.

Yes please, I'll have some of them sparks, that would be awesome.

Hope the new sky works well with 3D vision.

There is no new sky, only some cloud sprites

From FB: Early Access, v.0.8 | Improved AI routines, performances and collisions, as well as lighting, skies and procedural cloud layers

Wait what....

 

[Jempy]

Well I send you a little stock of something sweet, so your little girl has enough until next update within 2 weeks.

Not sure it will be enough !

 

[Stelios]

I think we are getting it in more than 2 weeks

Nothing and no one can save me from her crying!

Or maybe this

Yeah, maybe no MP today, let's be real, they've said that first they had to improve AI so let's hope we get a better AI this time first. In relation to MP IMHO i prefer that they release a good and fully working MP than a buggy one just to shut people off, it will generate even more whine (look at what happened with AI). Just relax, in less than 2 months we'll have the full game ready to rock and we'll have years to enjoy it, be happy guys and enjoy all other great things you can do in life meanwhile, this is a hobby, not what decides happiness in our lifes.

Cheers.

Can you imagine if they released buggy MP what it would do to the reputation of the game on steam? I appreciate that on here we're mostly enthusiasts, but the casual steam user won't be. Given how well it's done thanks to steam I think it's for the best in the long run that KS wait until the MP is in a decent enough state that the steam forums won't be full of 'OMG this sux0rz etc'.

A small studio needs to take advantage of any good publicity, so I am completely happy to wait a few weeks it if ensures the long term success of AC.

Good point. Just look at Steam and FB, not nice what you read there sometimes.
So i give them time, but sure it would be nice to have it today.
But its done when its done.

btw i am still flashed about the new graphic updates, just look at it.
Looks very well!

[Ben Lee]

Forgive me, I thought we were getting the Senna Lotus too? There is no mention of it in the changelog...?

nope, they put a screenshot for the Birthday of Senna, but was clearly stated that was not going to be in this update.

 

[Michael Hornbuckle]

Game runs like a turd for me now...not liking that optimizations are making me turn down options

 

[Stuart Pickering]

If you don't like it, don't buy it.

I do like to see this last stage of progress, and to be part of it. Better still, Kunos actually cares about the people who support them. Maybe they can't deliver everything, but they proove to take the users seriously.

I havent simples

 

[Stuart Pickering]

Not to be rude, but then is easy, don't buy it, see how it goes in the meantime and, when full released, you can choose if it is in your likes or not
GSC2013 is really a good sim, great physics, already announced free DLC with great content and, unbelievable I know, MP!!!!!

I havent simples read it again
