Microsoft couldn't get me to update but it looks like AC will. Haha...I'm with you Yeah, Win 7 support is ending soon anyway...what can you do.

I don't know why, just gut instinct.I fear something that is targeted more at consoles and will not have the depth of physics that AC has. The fact they have chosen the Unreal engine indicates to me that graphics are their primary concern.

They're bringing the physics component from AC which is directly transferrable, and they've also hired more programmers and physics guys with mechanical engineering backgrounds. UE4 just means shiny new graphics on top of it all. There is no mention of consoles. It will be available on Steam/PC.

I don't know why they didn't just call it AC2 though.

I don't know why they didn't just call it AC2 though.But why should they? Why wasn't AC netKar Pro 2?Heres a quote from licensing guy Marco: "The Blancpain GT Series license is just the tip of the iceberg."To me, this says we will see ACC Blancpain, ACC BTCC, ACC WEC, ACC F1 and maybe even ACC Supercars.

It would be impossible to develop AC2 and all AC1 content in one go. ACC allows them to start from scratch. The physics is mostly maths and can be "salvaged" but is being enhanced eg 64bit.The early release ACC will be great. A lot of fun to be part of testing all the new features!!

Kunos will want to avoid the problems they had with the current modding interfaces eg supporting Python and then realising it had performance implications. They have two of the best modders on staff and I reckon they will be working on a next gen modding interface for a future release.

The initial plan for AC was for it to have only a few cars, and look at what the car list became.

No. Because then it wouldn't be the "offical game" would it?I reckon their plan to get more money is have a different game for each series they have a licence for and personally if that's the case I wont bother to get it Logged The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older Phil.8 RestrictedRacing Hero Member Posts: 4158 Karma: 62 Δ8 Re: AC News « Reply #1424 on: February 24, 2018, 02:00:49 PM » came across this on race department http://www.racedepartment.com/threads/gtr-3-by-simbin-coming-in-2018.131230/Might be 2 similar games coming out using Unreal 4 game engine Logged The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older Print Pages: 1 ... 93 94 95 96 97 ... 99 « previous next » Xtreme Gaming Network / Simulation Racing Leagues / Assetto Corsa (Moderator: Wally) / AC News
