Automobilista 2 November 2023 Development Update

that's the bit that stuck out to me, resisting two companies and I'd wager a rather large bet the dreadful MSG were one of them (I'd be very surprised if I'm wrong!). So HUGE respect to Renato for resisting that temptation.

 

...and yes I agree with the above, I think it's great to hear a developer speak from the heart and not from the boardroom of the marketing department every single time. It's actually refreshing to see Renato get pi$$ed off as it shows his passion for what is essentially his baby (along with his staff of course!). I wish more devs would speak out like this, say it how it is and not conform to corporate speech to appease the suits in the towers.

On the flip side sure some of us may repeat the same moans & groans, I'm just as guilty of that as the next person, but that in itself shows our passion in wanting this sim (or whatever game/sim we're ranting about) to be even better. There's no actual harm in that other than the blood pressure of the Devs boiling over somewhat when they read the same garbage for the hundredth time, but if they all responded like Renato did above then maybe it'd sink into us a bit more that AMS2 is in great hands and at the end of the day that's all that matters, no matter how annoying it may be that some of our own personal issues don't get addressed.

So yeah, the heart & passion is clearly strong with Reiza - Good!

 

Just want to add here that I really appreciate the continued work on improving the single player experience. The best thing about AMS2 for me (and why I keep coming back to play it) is how easy it is to just pick your car, pick a track, and then start a race. There's not much of a need to mess around with various settings and/or mods, like with other games on the market, to have a good race. For someone like me, who never knows when they're going to have free time and just wants to play a game they know they can have fun with, AMS2 is a godsend.

Thank you, truly, to everyone at Reiza.

 

so now, it's just an matter of waiting? i hope it'll be here soon, i'm excited for it!

 

Chemistry must be great between you guys and that's awesome to hear, but i would also stick around because of your good look

 

I can have fun in SP in AMS2 with VR using a 3060ati + R7 5800X, with a lot of eyecandy and 120FPS and 60FPS in rain with headlights on full grid even in Hockenhein. Max Quest 2 resolution.

If Reiza keep pushing without abandon this great graphics engine for VR, this sim is the benchmark for VR racing. And even to VR gaming itself.

 

Completely agree. Seeing how Reiza consistently meets its challenges, I have little doubt it will build a stupendous MP at some point.

 

I think it is so damn cool that the main developer of game speaks to us one-to-one as much as possible in this media. Renato's passion for his work is obvious here and it feels very refreshing in an often impersonal world. Also comforting to know that a sim that gives me the release I need is financially secure.

The more positive tone in this forum today also feels great!

 

Dev team are doing an amazing job and I couldn't be happier with what you have produced up to now. Your description of how many use this Sim hit the nail on the head for me, and is exactly why I wanted to invest some backing into the Sim with no expectation for any specific returns other than a big thankyou. Keep doing what you're doing!

 

I’m usually pretty quiet here but just wanted to unequivocally voice my support for what Renato is saying here. Keep doing amazing work Reiza, you really are doing something special and the heart and dedication this team has, has really become evident to me since the 1.5 update and through being in the loop on all the beta work since. You’ve become my favorite game devs at the moment because of the refreshing level of care and dedication you are showing.

 

If any developer other than Reiza had taken on the challenge of realizing the untapped potential and unfulfilled promise of the Madness engine, I would have lost interest in AMS2 years—literally years—ago. Anyone who has ever worked a day in his life to earn his daily bread can recognize hard work when he sees it. Hopefully, one should appreciate such efforts and accomplishments as well.

Honestly, I suspect the vast, vast majority of AMS2 critics have squandered far more of their own talents than the employees at Reiza Studios. If nothing else, their tiresome whingeing has wasted a lot of time—for all of us.

 

Please, tell me you are sorting the parallel projections problem on Pimax devices as well!

 

I'm in favor of a DLC session pass 2024-2028 if I have paid, who out there is in favor? To increase the content of AMS2.

 

that's great that your company is doing great and financially healthy, nobody would wish for anything different

it still doesn't change the fact ams2 is the least played sim and that's all down to it's multiplayer bugs, i'm in many sim racing communities and everyone owns ams2 but nobody plays it for this very reason despite the game having probably the best content list in sim racing.

i don't know why you felt you had to go on a rant simply because i stated a truth that you don't like to hear

 

Whippy:

Renato:
No, I don't think you do.

 

Well if the company is financially healthy it means they are doing something right despite what some forum members think.

As someone who don't care about MP AMS 2 is my main sim and the one I'll support for as long as it exists.

 

Long live AMS2 and independent Reiza. Such a refreshing jewel in the landscape of big corporations seizing the whole industry.

 

bro you’re a club member so you know better than anyone else about all the weekly tests, yet you’re still here whining the same stuff over and over and ignoring all the tests/ well placed explanations from Renato?

Tsunoda have an advice 4 you m8

 

there are so many communities playing ams2 online quite happily. join one if you want. otherwiswe just STFU
