re- Assetto Corsa and rf2.
First AC.
Off to an impressive start with the tech preview, the overall package at a technical level is very good.
That said, the Lotus is quite boring{unlike rf2's Corvette}, but the important criteria has been met, ie, it's an outstanding sim that will be loved by many once it hits the shelves+ let's not forget the impact of the modders and Kunos's own updates
To be honest I'm simply excited by the thought of the full game release......plenty of desirable cars and a decent number of tracks that could redefine plug and play for G27/Logitech owners.
Speaking of G27, AC works exceptionally well with it and was very easy to set up.
Where does the Lotus stand on the sim index.....it must be in the top of the charts by virtue of it's mix of physics/FFB and steering precision, plus it's GFX and sound detail are good as well.
Are we on the verge of a bunch of Kunos Ferrari's and BMW's.....is this really going to happen, I feel like I'm in a dream state at the prospect of driving the full release.
Can't wait!!!!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now we get to ISI's rf2 Corvette, and amazingly, this could be one of the best sim cars ever.....well I guess that's not so surprising, but ISI are definitely hit and miss with rf2 IMO, but the new Corvette is an immersive champ.
rf2 has punchier sound than Assetto Corso, granted AC is far from finished, either way, the Vette sounds and drives good....in fact, the Vette is not only one of the best sim cars, it's one of the more exciting cars to drive{using bog stock b146 G27 profile}.
The powerful V8 Corvette is prone to oversteer but is actually quite controllable, and it really does everything well, and it isn't as tail crazy as the Nissan GTR.
I think ISI need to raise their game and fix the physics issues on the GTR and even the megane feels a bit centre sprung.
I honestly think Assetto Corso is going become the most respected sim ever as the physics philosophy of Kunos makes sense to me....rf2 OTOH has too many issues other than the suspect physics to make me care much.
Every time ISI release a new car,the ISI forum fannyboys go apeshit{granted the Vette is worthy of it's praise}, but IMO, many of the rf2 cars have issues that don't make sense or are built around the physics philosophy of "the harder it is to drive, the more realistic".......well, so be it, the MP is still dead 13months later as is the mod scene.
