![]() Worthy of note is the ‘special events’ mode – a series of unique events featuring world famous tracks and cars, taking you on a whistle stop tour of Assetto’s highlights. My most enjoyable experiences were in the online play simply because the presence of human players ensured an element of unpredictability and excitement the lacklustre AI never presents – although die-hard racing sim fans will be turned off by online players who tend to lean into aggressive driving styles. An empty and unsatisfying career mode offers no real incentive to engage, presenting itself as lists of time trials and races with targets to beat to progress – think of it more as the ‘training ground’ for the game than a real single-player mode. There’s also no real sense of velocity, either in or out of the racing. But this same machine runs Forza, with much stronger graphics and presentation in general, with no issues. There’s a feeling that the software is struggling to run on the hardware – namely, my launch model Xbox One. Technical issues run throughout the whole experience – from very prominent screen tearing to an inconsistent framerate (in turn affecting controller input accuracy). Things start badly with a clunky and ugly UI permeating everything – it doesn’t feel designed for a controller and will sometimes just ignore inputs altogether. A game with a very specific audience in mind that doesn’t make much of an effort to make a good first impression on anyone else. It’s a game that feels lacking and stripped down despite hosting 178 cars, rushed and unfinished despite originally releasing in 2014. ![]() There’s a paradox at the heart of Assetto Corsa Ultimate Edition. Only I am more keen on the "red" stuff to launch their "rdna2"-gen.Developer: Kunos Simulazioni Publisher: 505 Games Platform(s): PC, PS4, XB1 Review code provided ![]() That said, I am waiting for the next GPU generation, as well. Vanilla AC is not at all hard to run from a 2020's perspective. Only when I upgraded my GPU did my in-game performance actually improve. without shader-mods), My 2015 upgrade from a Phenom II 3.2GHz 12GiB RAM to a Haswell-E 3.3GHz 16GiB RAM has yielded me zero performance-improvements while still on the old GPU. When it comes to "vanilla" Assetto Corsa (e.g. Basically, if I can't stream it, I'm waiting until I get a new PC to purchase it. Perhaps, but even with the inherent latency, streaming is still superior to my current obsolete PC. adventures and to a certain extend action-games, sure, but with driving-sims the concept of high-latency input-to-compute-to-output does not "compute" in my brain.

However, I have no idea if I would enjoy racing sims, so I'd start with a controller and only get a wheel if I love them. The moment the 30XX series comes out, I'll be building a new PC. I've wanted to upgrade my PC for months now. And that is arguably sharp enough for racing. These days, if you stick to the more "mature" titles like AC, even an entry-level gaming-PC or a repurposed office-machine with a free PCIe_x16 slot for a sub-$200 graphics-card is all you really need to "drive" them on your usual 1080p resolution. G29/G920, TMX, T150) if you really want to simrace/simdrive. You better save up some money for a physical computer as well as an entry-level wheel (e.g. Originally posted by Simon said EAT DUST PLAYER_1 !:I am not convinced that game-streaming services are able to deliver real-time simulations in any usable way.
