Assetto Corsa Competizione: First Nissan and Monza Preview

[Paul Jeffrey]

Marco Massarutto has shown a first preview of the upcoming Nissan Nismo GT-R GT3 that is set to form part of the new ACC Release 6 content update.

Having initially delayed the launch of the new update to later this week, Assetto Corsa Competizione fans don't have to hold off now until the Nismo GT-R GT3 and Monza circuit are released. As well as the content, the upcoming build will of course also contain a range of fixes and improvements to the increasingly impressive Early Access title - all of which will be revealed in good time when Kunos hit that deployment button on Steam!

Not long to go now folks...

Assetto Corsa Competizione is available on Steam Early Access now. Currently at build release 5 status.

edit. I've taken a chance here. I'm pretty sure this is a screenshot from ACC and not GT Sport, however much of the post was in google translate, and it wasn't massively clear as to where the picture originated. So please, if I'm wrong and this is GT Sport.. don't crucify me!! lol

"And now a sneak-peek for you guys on the forum, because the changelog will be rich of exciting topics, let us whisper: Radar, Camera Features, CPU Optimisations, Weather updates and some more. We can’t wait to release what we have in store for you."

They are rewriting the multiplayer code, so not sure if there will be multiplayer related updates in 0.6? Weather updates might refer to dynamic weather changes. Radar means helicorsa type of thing

Two changes to mess with famous braking points: no more bridge before Della Roggia and marshal before Ascari is less visible on that video. First world problems obviously - it looks awesome and I can't wait to try the barge!

I was happy to receive acknowledgement of one week delay. However the week has passed. NO update but more disappointing , no advice.

Not impressed.

 

[tlsmikey]

Yeah, am a bit worried that its half way through the week and nothing. This title is supposed to be finished by the end of March.

 

[garyjpaterson]

Its almost like plans can change when confronted with unforeseen circumstances.

Its almost like that when Q1 was predicted as the launch that they actually hadn't accounted for a hefty rewrite. Crazy, i know.

 

[Dobermann92]

A little bit of delay is understandable if they bring us quality content. I'm optimistic about this game right now, can't wait to test the new car and the new track.

 

[Terry Rock]

"Patience fellas!"
It's not like we don't have plenty to drag around the various tracks in Rf2, RRE, AMS, etc...
Give them the time to do their thing right.

I have no doubts or concerns whatsoever that Kunos will get on top of this game and release something pretty special when the time comes.

In fact, I'm pretty shocked they've managed to keep to the schedule as well as they have so far... software development isn't easy, and those roadmap targets were certainly challenging to meet.

Keep the faith people

That's actually really exciting to me. Even as someone without much experience it amazes me how often I see people doing events without using helicorsa (or helimobilista) even here on Race Department. Maybe having a built-in solution will encourage more people to adopt it.

CPU optimization in change log got my attention.

Really looking forward to that.

I do have faith and I am positive Kunos will do a marvelous job. My gripe is NO communication, this time around.

ACC is having an F1 Williams moment

I want to see screens of the NSX and Lexus.

I'm looking forward to the update and the fun of whatever the latest hot lap/stint challenges are, so far ACC is much better than expected for me.

The delay is minor but Kunos could help themselves a lot more by keeping the communication channels open and avoiding the deafening silence. Always better to under promise and over deliver than the reverse. If a delay can't be avoided just keep the updates regular and let players know when it is likely to happen. Better to say 'not today' than leave people guessing imo.

I know you put it in as a joke, but this is actually a good example, even the richest and best companies can experience unexpected delays.

Really looking forward to that.

Yes, I already made a big issue of that in another thread, but understood that it's mainly Unreal's threading model. I also wouldn't expect "CPU Optimization" as a compiler option to be used until the end, although I'd definitely be looking for the Refactoring to target optimizing cpu usage (now since this is their main opportunity for a big refactoring). By this point they've had to have learned some big points in development on Unreal.

Looking forward to the revised and much better product; 2 days or a week wait don't matter if they make it better.
