General Chit-Chat

Huh, this might actually get me into AC EVO, it looks like its full of road cars like the first one, wich I really dont see the point in a race game, but in open roads I would actually like to cruise some interesting road cars.

 

Just read what I said and not what I didn't. "He's saying there won't be tracks in the game!" - nope. "He's saying the game is road car heavy and dumping on it" - what? This is bordering on psychosis. You're literally hearing or reading stuff that doesn't exist. Where are you getting this "taking a dump" stuff about road cars or "getting defensive" from? I'm genuinely concerned for your welfare.

I'm surprised they would create an open world by using a manual scanning process of the kind you'd use to create a real world track. That was the point - because a manual process is expensive and limits the size of the world you can create for what I figured was no great reason - i.e only a handful of people will know whether the road has been rendered accurately in great detail or not.

Whereas a real world track, of course, everyone knows the detail.

 

If you look at the numbers of people playing the trucking games it should be very popular. The appeal of those games for probably most of their player base isn't the trucks or delivering cargo, it's the chill experience of driving.

The sim world doesn't really need another racing title but an actual driving simulator with good physics and FFB, I can see being massively popular not just to sim racers looking for a change of pace but many more gamers looking for this kind of experience.

 

To be fair that has been the position I had to take with the original AC, I use it now as a driving sim instead of a racing sim, AC evo seems to be doubling down on the strenghts of the original AC so at this point I'm ok with it.

 

There are many times in ATS or ETS2 that I come to some amazing scenic road and think how cool it would be to drive them in some old sports car. Trackir really helps at junctions but is also useful for sightseeing.

 

anyone come across this guy on lfm in the dtm at nurburg sprint he is six seconds faster than anyone ,and he is in the bmw ,he is doing 1.27 which is impossible he passes the audis like there standing still

 

Not sure if this is the place, so apologies first! I'm a noob . Bought and installed on my Steamdeck and 100% satisfied my craving for racing on the go. Seriously cannot believe just how good this SIM is and how it runs.

Anyway, just a wee query on DLC. If I buy a pack and then later buy another DLC which features the same car or track, does the price change to mirror that? I'm sure I read that somewhere.

 

Happy new year from Sweden

 

And from Germany!
(Also, it's SO good to be back here... My SSD with the OS on it died on the morning of the 24th and it took me several days to get my computer back up and running again. Haven't had a chance to set up my simracing gear yet though, much less see any actual AMS2 action. Been busy cheating on AMS2... with Forza Horizon 4... What can I say, it's fun to blast through speed traps in the middle of Edinburgh at 320 kilometers per hour! )

 

"A guets Neues" from South Germany
Ready for a next fascinating and exciting year with the whole AMS2 - family
Keep all healthy and enthusiastic

 

Happy New year also from the Netherlands. May all your wishes come true.

 

Believe it or not, but that was actually the very first thought that came to mind before I wrote my post. Would've made more sense if there had been more posts before mine, so I didn't... Happy to see we still got his axe in the end, though.

 

I was already skeptical with the license/grind to buy stuff part, this bs about having to be online to access all the cars is really stupid imo.
AMS2's design choice of having all the content available from the start and offline is the way to go.

 

Honestly, this AC Evo launch just makes me appreciate Reizas approach even more. Launch the game only when it's goddamn ready, even if it takes a few days longer. Right now, ACE is almost unplayable. Horrible performance, I'm getting around 30fps on Medium graphics, while AMS2 runs perfectly smooth on highest graphics

 

I liked the driving in AC Evo that I could feel through the choppy and low framerate I'm sure it'll improve, of course.

We already appreciate how well optimised the madness engine is

 

When AMS2 first launched it had its fair share of problems and bugs(some are still in the game) but performance wise it ran pretty good from day one, but then it was built on an existing game engine.

I am sure ACevo will iron out it's problems, I might check it out this time next year.

 

Niels Heusinkveld did one of his litmus tests and found that AC Evo still has the same kind of "simply reduce overall torque" throttle response as its predecessor. Not like in AMS1 and AMS2.
