Automobilista 2 May 2024 Development Update - The Road to V1.6 Pt1

Each to their own; to me they're all lines drawn on a flat piece of sand. As bad as modern Silverstone.

My 8 race Reiza GTP will be something like Kyalami, Sebring, Spa, Red Bull Ring, Le Mans, Interlagos, Laguna Seca, Road Atlanta

 

Ironically ofc - just complimenting the work of the shaders and modelling teams (assuming they are separate and distinct)

 

I am on my knees praying for that Ferrari 296 to be in a future Endurance Pack Pt3 or Ferrari Pack

 

Yeah i wouldn't get my hopes up for ferrari license.

 

Thank you for the update

 

You heard it from him! Mid September everybody!

 

I read it as October with some margin

 

Just having a bit of fun

 

The 1.6 hype just got turned up to 11.

 

I honestly love the fact that updates aren't rushed. So many AAA games these days have strict deadlines to meet which usually results in a broken game. Their solution? Release now and fix it over time. It's such a breath of fresh air to see a company like Reiza be able to work at their own pace and release the update when they feel it is ready. I'm as excited as the next guy for 1.6, but the way things are done around here is honestly the way game development should be. Thank you Reiza for delivering good solid products.

 

I've had no clue mate. Well, I guess this will make the process easier.

 

I'm very much for the "I appreciate knowing the current plan and don't mind if it's delayed as long as I'm told" but I do get that in this day and age saying "we're currently aiming for X" seems to get taken as a binding promise by people.

And definitely appreciate that there are games out there which release every year with fewer updates in.

Anyway, ultimately, we just want to give you guys some money for this new content you've been working on! Especially this latest beauty... please some sound clips when it's preview-able!

 

AMS2 is already a huge vast improvement over pCARS2. Raceable AI, custom AI, custom championships, custom grids, livery packs, vast improvement with the tire model, rain driving, real weather implementation. It goes on and on.

Take your time Reiza. You guys are the best.

 

In my mind thats the major strenght of AMS2 - the game doesnt start from zero content wise every year. Rather, content accumulates and can be cross used.

In a Codies F1 game one year you have the historic F1 cars, the next year you dont. Instead you have supercars. But what I want is to have everything in the same sim together.

 

Oh how this is absolutely true. Reiza has (I think) a tenth of what other big studios have in staff and deliver things that are head and shoulders with the competition (I'd argue even better considering the FM"8" fiasco).

We are all very apprehensive of the v1.6 and given how passionate (to a harmful degree sometimes) the fan base is about the genre and product, it's natural that speculations run amok - mostly by those who don't know how software development works.

 

The ball physics are "off", way too slidey...
It should be more like PES, which is widely regarded as the benchmark for the wider genre.
Football Manager is football-cade at best.
These views I hold I no way because PES is an older franchise and I was successfully duped into believing that by some miracle the entire physics model was 1-to-1 ported over from reality itself, therefor anything that deviates even modestly from this benchmark can logically be considered "wrong".
...even though somewhere down the road the developers of that benchmark released other titles that are pretty well a 180° departure from their norm, but with "clever" reasoning gymnastics I made it make sense, and fought everyone along the way...
For an incredibly rigid hierarchical order of things, arranged to my subjective personal preferences I deem to far outweigh logic, reason and reality itself.

Regards, AC fanbo.. I mean PES fanboy?! Hehe...
