Will someone make a console OT, like it happened with DiRT?
Man, I so want this to be great on consoles. I'm finding that I can't find the enthusiasm to play pCARS any more. Ever since support was halted I'm finding it harder and harder to forgive it's many shortcomings and not get annoyed by the many bugs and niggles. It was OK when I knew they were being worked on and that they might be fixed in the next patch, but now that it's been abandoned I'm struggling to stay interested. I'm really hoping that Assetto Corsa (or maybe even GTS) can fill that void, but I'm simply not going to accept another shoddy bug-riddled experience, no matter how high the highs are.
When is the review embargo up?
That's shit, hopfully my g920 is,it should beMan, I keep forgetting that my Fanatec rig isn't supported so it's all academic anyway.
I'm out!

Damn, you're right. Hmmm... I feel like this game would deserve an OT, not sure it would be used much, but if I was the average GT console-only gamer, bought AC on PS4, then I might not dare to go to the PC racing sims thread to talk about my "noob" experience and ask noob questions, which would be a shame.Didn't we just use the PC OT?

When is the review embargo up?
25th, some of the game is off limits or locked away, so we can go into more detail then and take requests on car / track / format combinations people would like to see.
Can you say anything about how it handles with a pad?, or has that information been embargo'd? (which might say enough in itself!)
Who's up for making a new OT then?
Searched for it, no non-EA OT.That said, I am not even sure there is a non-EA Assetto Corsa OT in existence, so maybe making one would be worthwhile?
I'd ask a moderator, but as I'm playing on PC I don't feel qualified to make an OT(has it even been confirmed that the new UI will arrive with v1.8 on PC?). I'd be up for being delegated to get some OP goodies though. Make gifs, take track screenshots etc.The game has a new UI, different option set etc, am sure a new OT would be fine.
I was trying with a pad the other day on PC to try this out, seemed fine I have to say, was using a pad when I recorded this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZE7OixkbsGs
Those were my own settings of course, but I imagine those options will be available here too.
Xbox version:
- standard controller settings are really good
- lots of tearing
Played the game after installing a 592 MB update.
If the PC version doesn't get the new UI I'm going to be miffed. The UI in the PC version stinks. Having to balance my keyboard and mouse somewhere to navigate everything (can't even pause with the wheel) is super frustrating. The console release just looks way more polished throughout.

I asked in the |OT|-|OT| thread, if a new AC OT would be ok /within the rules.
Update: Seems to be fine.
Anyone interested who will buy the console version?
I'd be willing to help in any way I can.
Is it just a console thread?, or are we encompassing the PC non-EA version too?
Based on the PC version, turning off the Yebis post processing can give a 40+ fps boost. It really is a huge resource drain for not a lot in return IMO.
I can't see any reason why the PS4 version can't hit 60fps with 23 AI cars - not in VR mode - with most of the standard PC settings enabled. My now defunct 2500K i5 build with an EVGA 680 can run a full grid of AI at Spa at well over an average of 80fps with the reflections turned up to their medium setting (default is static because of the resource drain). I can't see why a console couldn't match that. For the record I have owned the PC version of AC since the early builds required a netKar Pro product key.
But the thing is that we are talking Kunos here. The same guys that have taken 3 years (5 years with lead in time) to produce an engine that can't do rain, can't do more than one light source, cannot do trackside animations etc. They make a great sim don't get me wrong, but they are not graphics coding geniuses and their console experience is zero. Also it's just port, I highly doubt big bucks are being spent getting that code written for strong single core performance to work on many jaguar cores. Both consoles are going to leave a hell of a lot of performance on the table.
Well, I've written the body text for a console specific OT, if anyone wants it to make an OT, or wants to knock up some graphics for it, let me know.

Personally I have big respect for developers that refuse to grow and expand because that would need a real full-time manager. You are just happier with your job and more productive if you can choose what to do without real hierarchy involved that forces annoying work routines on you. You don't feel like cog in the grinder and make a better product.
That's great, be happy others are happy in their jobs holding the company growth back to suit their own personal needs. Personally I want to race in the rain or at night or to simply be able to enjoy seeing beautiful cars speeding through beautiful locations. Each to their own.
Also, the sounds on the Huracan GT3's are really impressive! I was at a race weekend with the Blancpain SuperTrafeo series recently, that's fairly spot on.
Anyone got any suggestions for the OT title?
It isn't very original but you could use their own, "Your Racing Simulator"
Their own translation of the term is "Race Setup" i think.
Who want to buy this game to play with controller, don't waste your money. It is not Gran Turismo or Forza. This game should be played ONLY with good wheel, I am serious.
Pfft, if I can get pCARS to handle decently with a controller, I'm sure I can manage this!
