Assetto Corsa EVO raises the bar of realism that has made the franchise one of the most popular driving simulations of the last decade even higher.

As with its predecessor, Assetto Corsa EVO will include cars from different classes spanning across years of motoring history. From road cars, classics, hypercars, and race cars. The most iconic representation of the automotive and motorsport world. Each vehicle is reproduced through Kunos in-house physics and graphic engine simulating mechanical, electronic, and aerodynamic performance, combined with the fidelity of the circuits created using Laserscan technology.

In Early Access 1 you will be able to experience a range of vehicles, tracks and game modes that will evolve on the road to our full 1.0 launch.

With the launch of a new KUNOS Simulazioni proprietary, high-performance photorealistic engine, VR and triple screen support have become first-class features and the new mathematical model meticulously simulates asphalt performance in different dynamic weather conditions that guarantees an authentic and realistic experience which will redefine the standards that have made Assetto Corsa globally renowned.

I thought EA WRC had the worst VR experince in any simgame but AC EVO had raised(or lowered) this bar.

Absolutely terrible performance on Quest 3

 

[Proteus Maximus]

Terrible performance, full stop! My system is higher than the recommended specs but (as of now) runs like shit. The paid demo needs lots of optimisation.

Is it a sim or rather a simcade? I wanna know before buying.

Why ? I didn’t watch any video yet but I want to.

Is his PC not powerful enough ? Or it’s just bad implementation?


Also how is the graphics compared to GT7 which is still the king imo

 

[Skifi28]

Any impressions on controller support? The original assetto had terrible controller implementation. Tons of sliders to tinker with, but I could not find something that worked for the life of me. I spent hours upon hours tweaking, testing and following guides to no avail. It's the one thing that keeps me from buying this.

compressed YT footage isnt the best judge but it honestly still doesnt match GT7 on that front. Car models are on point and environments look good, but the colors and lighting are still not up to that standard

Game is extremely bare bones right now, don't really see why would anyone want play it right now.

I'm not sure if going back to their own engine and ditching all of the content and mechanics they had so far was a good idea. Judging by the early impressions the performance is not good and it's going to take them ages to rebuild all of that stuff again. 15 planned tracks for the final release is also not a lot.

Locking singleplayer career / progression behind always online is another terrible decision - have they not noticed how people react to such a requirement in Forza Motorsport or TDU Solar Crown?

Because the driving and physics are both excellent? Because I personally get to finally drive one of my all time favorite track cars (Camaro ZL1 1LE), in a proper sim racer? It’s an early access build; it’s going to be limited in content. That doesn’t stop the foundation of the game from already being fantastic.

Once Evo is finished and released proper, the best sim racers in the industry will all start with the letter A.

He covers most of the talking points.

Game will eventually be incredible and set a new standard but the launch was kind of botched due to server issues.

Once the servers are online, I’ll put a lot more time into it. Enjoyed what I’ve played so far.

• ACC - one leg into the grave. Braking model is atrocious. Just one class that everyone drives.
• AC Evo's solid foundation is good thing for sure, but years away from being something.
• Ams2 pretty much simcade.

Have you heard about Iracing? Yes it's not perfect, tyre model sucks but they're working on it, many got issues with the graphics although I think cars look really good, they're also working on a new graphics engine. Some dislike subscription based model and paid content, but in reality it's what allows for the devs to invest and develop things pretty rapidly also reason why it has the best service. I dare you to try it if you haven't already, new subs are dirt cheap, also tons of good free content, like mazdas are tons of fun.
