Automobilista 2 July 2020 Development Update

The price for the bundle atm is £103.48 here in the UK. It will go up when the GT cars are released I believe, so the base game will then cost around £45.

 

Ah yes, I can see the 10% discount version too, but it’s ~€120, so just wondering if it’s cheaper in the rest of Europe

Superb, never knew about that function! Thanks

Rightio, looks like base game plus the odd content pack then; is Hockenheim still included with purchases or that offer no longer stands?

 

I thought that deal expired last Monday but you never know, buy the base and find out

 

So? What's you're point? Are you really claiming that there's linear proportion between population and people playing racing games?
Maybe then the content should be around China? Not a valid point at all in my opinion.

 

Probably not, but we should also be careful for a faulty Northern-American/Western-European bias.

 

Content wise I am happy where this is heading. We have less less known South America tracks and we have more mainstream tracks as well and there's more to come. I just don't understand the argument 'they should only add more niche tracks and be somehow unique'. If they in it to earn money and for the development of the software they need to cover both bases and that's what they are doing ATM.
Concentrating on the quality not quantity would be better move IMHO even as it is bow there's plenty of content.

 

Are you seriously claiming that a Northern-American/Western-European bias is faulty? There is a world wide appeal to those tracks and people with all income leves aspire to race those tracks. I cant see a poor chinese man spending his money to drive an unknown chilean track. But Im speaking in general now.

I personnally love what AMS 2 has in focus and that it provides alternative content. Problem is, that driving feels so great in this game that I would now like to have all tracks in this game now.

 

Yes, that is the price i paid for the beta (+base game +Season pass), a while ago. Since the game is released i think it isn't available anymore. (NL)

 

Thruxton is such a cool circuit! Thruxton and Goodwood are 2 of my favourites in the UK.

 

Before I started using AMS2 I didn't know any Tracks in Brasil nor did I know anything about the racing scene in Brasil. Today I love those tracks, Stock Car, Sprint Racer and Imperio Endurance Brasil. I have used Hockenheim 5 or 6 times and that was that. People, for some reason, are hooked on that whole GT3/GT4 thing and well known European tracks. The only European tracks that would interest me at this point is the Nordschleife and LeMans (because of Endurance). Cascavel and Interlagos have become my favorite tracks

 

Well, it's a nice discussion about what is more interessting. Well- or low-known-tracks.
It seems that Reiza does the right mixture of both types. And of course, I also like to drive on the well-known-tracks and appreciate the work Reiza does with these tracks.
But as I can read out of all the messages, after getting or confirming so many 'well-known-tracks' which are available in most sims there is still the wish of lesser-known-curcuits because this is something special (as well as lesser-known-racing series) of Reiza and AMS.
I just think, the next track-project should be one which can't be found in any other sim just to keep the roots of Reiza upright.
Isn't that the point why we are using AMS? Back in Game-StockCar, there wasn't any track well-known track (except Interlagos) or racing series available and nevertheless so many have found the way to it and now to AMS.

 

the same to me...but I started with Game StockCar and F-Truck
My goodness, what for exciting tracks; Europe, take a look on them

 

I am very happy with all these famous tracks that Reiza are adding, like Spa, Nurburgring, Hockenheim, Imola, Interlagos, Mont Panorama, Silverstone, * Suzuka, * Monaco ... and if they add Monza and Le Mans, the dream team will be complete. Does anyone know another title with all these circuits together? Every racing game should have these tracks!!!!

And we still have Kyalami, * RedBull Ring, * Estoril, Jerez, Adelaide, Brands Hatch, Donington Park and many others ... with the richest catalog of historic circuits in a game, with US circuits to come. and I not counting a bunch of brazilian tracks

By the way, Thank you Renato Simioni and Reiza, we all recognize your efforts to deliver the best to us !!!

But Reiza is from South America, I think it's important to add more circuits from your own land, TCR South America 2021 can be a great opportunity for that, If possible, of course. For replace the Copa Petrobras de Marcas. The calendar must to have 3 very good circuits from Argentina and Brazil, 1 from Chile and Uruguay (maybe change). SA will be vey well represented, and we still have Ibarra. (btw TCR cars looks a beast!!)

Sorry if I'm asking for too much Renato (And I know I am). If not possible add TCR in AMS2, at least in a separate game.

Well done guys!!!

We know Reiza wants to do EVERYTHING. It's just a question of the development pipeline and prioritizing what order these things come in while balancing sales revenue and limited dev resources. If there was some magic formula to guarantee revenue, they would be able to hire more resources and AMS would eventually be the global simulator of all motor sports. Since there is not, we have to take what we can get in some order that makes sense for the business while buying as much as we can afford. Cherry-picking only what we want (recognizing some people legitimately can only afford to do that) just ensures that less overall content will get produced (due to lack of licensing resources and high quality dev resources).

 

Discussion is about content and content only. Reiza doesn't try to be 2in1 as Dirt 4. Dirt 4 was broken regardless the content, arcade and sim modes were flawed therefore Dirt 4 as is irrelevant example in this case.
