Great series of videos, perfect timing too as I got the fantastic GT Neo last month and the Alpha is supposedly going to be delivered today from RaceAnywhere. One thing to note though; the maximum torque for the current v3 version of the Alpha has been measured at 18.5Nm so quite a lot more than the advertised 15Nm!

Looking forward to what the new AC Evo is going to bring to the table. If Kunos can recapture the atmosphere and variety of the original AC and add in much of the physic advancements and graphics they used in ACC while retaining the allowing the modding community in attitude this will be the biggest thing in years as far as Sims go. Hopefully the new in house game engine Kunos is using for ACE will be a lot friendlier and more efficient for VR as well unlike ACC and unreal engine they used for that. Last rumor I heard was an early access release for PC , summer 2024 before the end of this fiscal year which comes to a close at the end of July. Still does not mean it will not get put off longer though.

Great video and a refreshing take on not just recommending AC for everything that I often see. There's so many other studios working hard to make modern content packages that need more recognition and support, so well done for highlighting the "underdogs". I take the same approach of turning to a variety of titles dependant on the racing disciplines / series' that I want to race in as each title has particular strengths in that regard. I know your objective for the video was to focus on PC simracing, but GT7 (while flawed in many places) offers a seriously wide range of content in terms of cars and tracks, so much that it rivals most PC sims for variety.

WRC Generations is still good and has an integrated league mode if you find DR 2.0 boring. They both have decent physics in their own ways, but sadly we don't have any rally game that ticks all the boxes. Even EA WRC has dubious asphalt physics and rain effects, for example. We could do a whole video about rally games...
@shawndixon4536Ай бұрын
Very awesome video. Even though I have practically every single one mentioned, I don't do iRacing. But I did learn more about some things I have been missing in some of the sims. Just don't have the time to invest in I racing though - I had a 3 month trial and put in less then 12 hours total (although, I didn't have the set-up I have now). But, factoring in single screen, triple screens or VR also plays a big part in the games. If I am just wanting to drive around, triples are good. Rally definitely has to be VR. But, Kart Kraft with VR is insane. The only time I ever got vertigo was when the kart spun and was rolling backwards, and I felt like I was going to be sick. Had to take the VR off and walk it off!

Something I’ve always wanted to see was a dedicated time attack or hillclimb sim. Sure neither of those are extensive enough to have a super packed game, but I feel like a team good enough with proper sponsoring could release a fairly good sim albeit not super extensive, with all the classes (limited, unlimited etc) for a $20-30 price tag. Idk how good of an idea it really is but it’s always cool to think about lol

It depends on a few factors... With Sim Hub you can have it working in many different scenarios to different levels, so quite possibly. But with the SimPro Manager software it's a little more basic, the brake feedback is specifically for ABS activation, and not all cars have ABS therefore the feedback would only work on certain cars.

Surely someone else has to be sick of hearing about Rennsport??? They basically came put of the gate with a game almost no one could play, but that didn't stop them from going hard into the esports. I couldn't not care even the slightest about an esports event for a game no one can play. They advertised the esports more than the game itself. Just get the game finished and if it's good, maybe then we'll care about your esports.

Will it be a good sequel to the original game AC 1, or will it be like a Project Cars 3 which was a disaster for most people. Time shall Tell and I will wait for all the reviews to come out on the released game on how good/bad it will be. Will Assetto Corsa Evo even come out this Summer, we will find out. It may be an early release type game like many others in the past. I really enjoy AC 1 as it is now with all the mods, tracks, and cars. And new things come out for it every day. take care.
