Automobilista - Early 2017 Development Update

Brilliant Reiza, absolutely brilliant.
Is @Alex Sawczuk wrapping up Adelaide then moving to Hockenheim next? Very excited for both circuits! Thank you so much guys!!

 

Some very good news here! Do you also plan to add support to the latest Fanatec SDK, so that CSL Elite owners can have auto degrees of rotation working?

 

Sorry guys, but I must remind you of your promise! And that is exactly what I and many others paid for. We already have 2017, therefore my question. When is the new graphics engine based on DX12? When is Dynamic Weather?

2016.....

A new sim! Can you tell us all about it?

• • Graphics & audio enhancements;
  • Physics developments to include tire damage, realistic drivetrain modelling, enhanced FFB;
  • New hi-res UI design + HUD system customized for each car type;
  • Support for long distance races;
• DX12 graphics engine;
• Extensive audio & physics developments;
• Dynamic weather & track conditions.

 

Pretty sure that's Reiza 17 Rob.

 

Can't wait for the update, Today it is Tomorrow
(and it's ok for me if 2017 comes in 2018)

 

@Robert Gerke you miss the point, those lines refer to their new sim which will be developed after AMS is completed.

I am happy to see you guys are going to release only one Aussie Raging Car (no mustang or other brand shaped models) and for free!
In my opinion even if this will be a funny car to race it is a poor choice for a themed DLC, so good move!
Which DLC or license will come as substitute?

 

Sorry but when have you paid for the new game? We have paid for the development of the existing games in the Indiegogo campaign, and some as a bonus will receive the new game. Something that was very clear in the text of the campaign.
If you want news, is not it better to ask for it in another way?

 

DERP! http://i.imgur.com/y5GoWvg.png

 

Your image just confused me?
It says"official release planned for Q4 2016"
and "DX12 Graphics engine"
Is this for AMS or Reiza 17?
If it was for AMS it was released early and if for Reiza 17 , its late??

Nice work on the update Reiza Team . Thank You heaps .
Are the in car shadows going to be getting implemented in any update soon ?

 

Well, it is so outdated that it is of course confusing… This image probably comes from the crowd funding campaign: it was clearly explained then that Reiza was planning a new game (still know as Reiza17 to this day) that had its own funding already. But since we were in june 2015 then, and the goal was to get Reiza17 in Q4 2016 at the earliest, Reiza proposed to extend the life of their then-existing game, Stock car Extreme: that was the sole goal of the crowd funding. Reiza17 was only mentioned to explain that Reiza saw a gap in their game releases and wanted to offer an "in-between" solution. And the campaign was such a big success that the "in-between" extension became a game on its own, the Automobilista that we know.
So no one ever paid for "new graphics engine based on DX12 and Dynamic Weather"; it was clearly explained in the crowd funding campaign, and more than once since then. Despite this, Reiza offered to pay back any people that felt they did not get what they paid for. And yet, we still have people putting over and over again the same false "facts"...

 

That's how I see it as well, AMS is a redeveloped GSC but Reiza 17 will be brand new. They did state that thier plans had changed after funding.

 

well... i need to lose some weight for driving the 2017 spec
lol
amazing dev, thanks again

 

I had a feeling we'd see 2017 formula! Super excited for that. Though, as excited as I am to see that WIP model I'm equally, if not more, disappointed in having to continue to wait for the CUstom Championship Tool. Its an extra harsh burn with no AI updates or something along those lines to fill the void.

Everything that is coming looks great as always though. Always good content with AMS. And I shall of course live.

 

So then, finally a nice blog with a clear statement for AMS development.
Now it's time to be realistic, can't imagine that we'll see a big revolution from technical side in next few months. Must admit that atm visually it's not bad with the shaders etc but for sure outdated.

What I see a bit critical, the massive car class diversification - we have to be honestly, nobody cares in the lobbies about Ultima, Formula Historic, Buggys, Metalmoro and some other things.
The person who wanna tell me sth different is definetaly off from reality.

Reiza should take back the focus on key elements and licenses that made the whole projects big and that was clearly the brazilian series like Stock Car and Marcas - that's fact.
Or complete new licenses with fully backed otherwise content from everywhere around the globe!

The point I wanna indicate is that people don't wanna have unfinished classes with single tracks because these you can get in every other GT and Forza title. The problem I heard that often.

For sure in terms of simulation character the AMS title is great but for me personally it seems like there's no straight line in the game, nothing is really highlighted. In the past GSC was perfect example how to do it correctly.

I really hope for the future and like Reiza's titles nevertheless much but the developments that have been done last half year broke a bit my motivation to stay.

 

If I got it right, there will be only 3 major releases left:

V 1.3: Adelaide DLC + Aussie Race Cars + F1 2017 + revamped Boxer Cup + minor fixes

V 1.4: Divisão 3 DLC + Custom Championship Mode (??)

V 1.5: Hockenheim DLC + one-make brand DLC (problably not) (??)

 

a full optimization for cars and tracks before the end is a good thing too

 

ideas for new dlc haha:
f1 50' , indycar dw12, group c or lmp1

 

I thought were gonna get a group b too

 

I wouldn't count on F1 2017 already in the upcoming v1.3, but hey - I'd love to be mistaken here

 

That's awesome! I was hoping to be able to try out the 2017 cars somewhere. But they haven't been confirmed for any other game, not even pCARS 2 or Forza 7 in Autumn, so it's super unexpected and great to be able to drive them within a few weeks from now!
