I must have restarted the race a dozen times the first time I tried wet weather racing - not because of any kind of incident of off track excursion, just simply to enjoy the feeling of the run down into the first corner and opening lap jostles, marvelling as the spray kicks up from the cars around me as I slip and slide my GT3 Lamborghini through the pack over and over again. It's just brilliant, and for me, one of the greatest moments in my long and often frustrating time in and around the sim racing / racing game scene. Driving in wet conditions in ACC is something of a work of art, and anyone who doesn't get themselves a few more beats per minute in the heart department heading into turn 1 under wet conditions is cooler than Kimi Räikkönen eating an ice cream sat in a fridge wearing just his underpants.

Visually Kunos have done an exceptional job of replicating a motor race in wet conditions, from the way the puddles form on the track surface to the way the raindrops and spray form on the windows and the cars themselves, the whole package just feels "right". These are words I might use to describe the feeling of driving Assetto Corsa in wet conditions, and frankly I fear my vocabulary doesn't really do it justice - it's that good. Masterful, exceptional, flabbergasting, scintillating, magnificent. So, where to start the review? How about the weather. Taking the Lamborghini out on the Nürburgring Grand Prix track can still provide plenty of food for thought for anyone investing any considerable period time in the first release into Early Access for the simulation. With all that said, the content and features present in the simulation at the point of Early Access release are more than enough to get a flavour of where Kunos are heading with Assetto Corsa Competizione, despite the exceptionally early stage of development of the current build. If you missed it earlier, you can check out the roadmap to version one schedule HERE.

Kunos have already revealed their proposed monthly update schedule that maps out the next six months of updates and improvements, with presents a refreshing insight into the future plans of the simulation as Kunos look to flesh out the content and features of the title in preparation for the full V1.00 release sometime around Q1 2019. At this stage, currently build 0.07, the game contains just a single playable car and track. The move to UE4 has been critical for the new title for other reasons over and above the graphical uplift, as the new engine technology now allows Kunos to incorporate some of the key racing elements missing from the original Assetto Corsa sim, namely time of day and wet weather conditions, both of which are present in the new ACC as well as including essential ingredients such as dynamic track conditions and 24-hour time of day capabilities.īecause Kunos and their partner 505 Games have taken the wise decision to develop ACC under the Steam Early Access programme, not all of those features mentioned above are present in Assetto Corsa Competizione during this initial first build. Moving away from their own engine that has been developed and polished during long development cycle of AC1, Kunos have gone down the increasingly popular Unreal 4 route as they look to maximise the opportunity to bring the graphical power of the title right into the modern era, pitching the title in direct comparison to some very tough competition in the racing game marketplace.

In case you have been living under a rock these past few months, or if you have only very recently dived into our wonderful world of virtual sim racing, Assetto Corsa Competizione is a brand new racing simulation from Kunos Simulazioni, the well-respected Italian game development team who brought us the excellent Assetto Corsa back in 2013.Īlso Read: Assetto Corsa Competizione Talk & Drive Gameplay Videosīenefiting from an official licence to replicate both the current 2018 and the 2019 Blancpain GT Series, a highly regarded championship for GT3 specification cars driven by both professional and well-seasoned amateur drivers, and following on from the huge success of Kunos last sim racing offering, Assetto Corsa Competizione is quite possibly one of the most eagerly anticipated racing game releases in recent memory – causing plenty of positive pressure on what is still a relatively small development group to match the practically unprecedented expectations of a sim racing community keen to enjoy the expected improvements over and above the already very solid offerings of the “original” Assetto Corsa.Īssetto Corsa Competizione is interesting for several key reasons, most prominent of which is arguably the move to the highly powerful yet still young Unreal 4 game engine.
One of the most anticipated sim racing titles has arrived on Steam Early Access as RaceDepartment present our first (very early) review of the new simulation.
