Buying the DLC is a "no-brainer" for me based on how AC is shaping up already. Once we have AI and MP in our hands, the rest is all gravy on top - and yes, . . . that's a good thing. Some people today whine about everything if it isn't "automatic".

Where did I say you can't voice your disappointment. Voice whatever you want, its a forum and you and everybody else is entitled to have an opinion. But so am I and I am disgusted with it.

...disgusted is a strong word towards people voicing their opinion :/

How dare the little team of 10 that could make a big deal of being the first and only dev team to get the paperwork signed and take on the challenge of laser scanning the most iconic track in the world and bring it to a consumer market and get it to work on computers that should have been upgraded five years ago. How dare them get everybody worked up for something that wasn't multiplayer even though they said that multiplayer isn't ready yet.

And how dare then have a long term plan for their business by providing DLC content that the community wants.

 

[Fabrizio Corona]

No one forces you to buy the DLC now, you brainless haters. You can buy it on September 2014.

The thing is, they have to FIRST finish the v1.0 game(March-April 2014), ONLY THEN will they start working on the DLC, so it's not like they could have included this in v1.0(like EA does with their games). The devs are just happy to announce the news, that's all.

I can't believe how ignorant and hateful some of you are.

 

[DennS]

Never once said it's about the money :/ That has nothing to do with it at all

sorry if you understood it like that, we don't know a price so it clearly is not about money, it was just to show that DLC doesn't matter if you don't want it, they give you all the choice you can get...

It may be great news, but to many it didn't need this glorious countdown. I really don't see why people are not allowed to voice their disappointment. If you were a big Porsche fan and expecting a Porsche announcement and it was a Lambo announcement wouldn't you voice your disappointment :s

None of this means it's not exciting, I'll buy it...but personally I would have liked a big series license announcement..that's all

This is the problem, they hinted nothing, and people think all kind of crazy stuff... I never expected anything because we simply knew nothing to how can someone be disappointed? No announcement will make everyone happy but why should I be disappointed? I would be disappointed when they announced multiplayer would cost extra or something I already paid for would change everything else is just a bonus...

I agree with you Bram. Some of the comments are so unbelievably disgusting, it makes you really angry. Imagine what this has to be a feeling for the developers... They are spending nearly 100% of their free time to give a small community like us something so special, they do everything they can to get such licenses, they invest maybe more than they earn, they give us a LASERSCANNED nordschleife and some people are speaking of a let-down... This must be so frustrating for the team, i just hope they are not discouraged by these idiots so we can enjoy this state of the art sim for years!

They kind of are at 50% off, and we wont even know what cars are included.

And just to say
AC are not the first for Laser Scan Nurb rights, T10 and Forza 5 have got them and soon will have it out.

Of course they will announce what cars are included.

Yes but it doesn't matter if you don't have proper physics and shitty graphics compared to pre-release footage

Sorry guys I don't mean to sound like a school teacher here but I think maybe we should step back slightly. I was dreaming (I literally did) of a Lambo announcement. I didn't get it but I got something else which will enhance my experience, if a little far away. I think this will be a learning experience for KS. They did overhype it in some peoples mind as it gets people dreaming of different things. Hype is the most dangerous PR move any company can make as once it starts its in the control of the mind of the audience not the company. I get why they did it, they need money to get this product finished and have to provide a lure to more on the fence racers.

We're all here because we love racing & want AC to succeed but we're human and think that should be done in different ways. I think the best thing for me about KS is how open they are to criticism and speaking directly to individual players (try that with EA). Anyone who is disappointed please please please voice it to KS (and here as they have a presence) so we can make them make it the best sim there has even been. Don't stay quiet. People who push are people who make it better for everyone.

**** yes this makes me happy When this releases I probably wont leave my computer for a few months. Nordschleife really is something special to me, done manymanymany laps in GTR evo and still cant get enough of it. I can understand people who dont particularly like Nordschleife being dissapointed by all the hype preceding this announcement. But if you dont like it thats your problem, for me this is the single best possible thing this anouncement could have been

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Our battle on the ring isn't over yet @Guus Verver. Did Trucks, V8's and next some GT3's?

 

[DennS]

Hype is the most dangerous PR move any company can make as once it starts its in the control of the mind of the audience not the company.

Well if you can't hype a Ferrari license or a laserscanned Nordschleife in simracing than what can you hype? I do understand that paid DLC is not for everybody but it was announced months/years ago so this is hardly surprising...

Wrong time for the annoucnement? Well they have to start thinking about the future sooner or later and I rather know what I can get even if it is 9 months away than hearing nothing from the devs (same as screenshots actually which I couldn't understand the whining about either)...

 

[Michael Hornbuckle]

10 cars are the cherry on top and the awesome cake that is the Ring. Worth every bit of the buildup to me. Awesome job doing the impossible again Kunos, cheers and Merry Christmas.

 

[Dinca Andrei]

Great announcement....why is it ruining hollydays?Because it will be available in 2014...
Why so much negativism.....because of people frustration of not been able to play it before this year ends....Why is so much hate on this world?Because people forgot who they were and how they got here.
Happy Hollydays everyone!!!

"Soon after the release of Assetto Corsa v.1.0 final, we will be opening our 1 month pre-order phase, providing you with a 50% saving on the final package"

YOU CANNOT PREORDER RIGHT NOW. Only after they release v1.0.

Those cars will be all released as the game releases. I meant we seem to have to buy into the DLC without knowing the 10 cars because they will be decided by community in the future.

Edit: I guess above post clarifies. So we will know the 10 cars by release, at which point the DLC wil go on sale.

Couldn't have been better!

When thinking of it, I think that their communication system is done the way of big passionate children feeling a huge joy which they wish to share with the whole community.

Imagine a small society, working hard ... already seeing his baby not completely born yet as a next must of simracing ..
who are more than happy getting interesting possibilities for the future of this baby, licences they even maybe wouldn't have imagined to receive one month ago !

They are so proud and happy ... that they wish to share their joy ... maybe not the best way, but at least they do it.

Then for once communication betwen developper and users happens so well and bug notices are quickly taken into account and corrected, why once again complain !??
