GazzaGarratt 10,867 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Comes out June 23rd. Only stumbled on it when looking for AC for PS4. Can someone explain how this is different to the standard AC game thats already out? Is it a brand new game or the same game with extra content? Didn't even know the AC franchise existed before Greebs started talking about it here. J4MES OX4D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACC is specifically focused on Gt3 and endurance racing.Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J4MES OX4D 9,778 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 ACC launched in early access on Steam I think and was released about a year ago fully. Both have great discount prices so I may pick one up sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greboth 2,705 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Standard AC is a great game - it's got everything a racing sim should; a decent selection of tracks with car spanning the years from road cars, to GT and single single seaters. Where AC really shines though is on the PC as you can mod it - Not all mods are free but a lot are and those you pay for are usually pretty cheap. It isn't only cars and tracks though they add a lot - mods have been created to effectively update the game - adding more varied weather types, better shaders and textures as well as hosts of other QoL stuff. AC:C is very similar to AC in look and feel but limited to only the GT cars and tracks of the Blancpain GT series. Currently this is only GT3 cars but there will be GT4 cars coming in the future. If you prefer your GT racing then ACC is the way to go. J4MES OX4D and phil bottle 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greboth 2,705 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 So looks like Jimmer approves Some things I didn’t realise about it on console like limiting it to 30fps but it makes sense. The best and most important news is the physics engine is the same. From Jimmers reaction, the cars handle the same so that’s great to hear. phil bottle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greboth 2,705 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Interesting Phil, any reason you went for it on the ps4 over the pc version? phil bottle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil bottle 9,567 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Well, without a monitor the last couple of days I've been playing this on the PS4 Pro.I thought the controls for the pad were a bit off at first but I slightly adjusted the sensitivity and all was fine.It's harder than Gran Turismo Sport but more satisfying and you really have to concentrate.The sound is very immersive. Srsly.I'll probably pick it up tonight on Steam too, just waiting for my new monitor to arrive...Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk GazzaGarratt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greboth 2,705 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 How are the AI on console Phil? On PC, They’re not perfect but they’re some of my favourite AI’s. As they can really push, seem to take chances at making passes and don’t back out if you squeeze them. Which makes me wonder if/how the AI is different on console.

They've managed to put the game on console using the same engine, so I imagine it'll be the same but yeah I've had a few moments where they have surprised me[emoji39]Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk Greboth and GazzaGarratt 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzaGarratt 10,867 Posted June 30, 2020 Author Share Posted June 30, 2020 That AI element sounds ace. Not tried normal AC yet, does the same happen in that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greboth 2,705 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 A good look at the upcoming gt4 dlc for ACC. GT cars are my favourite racing class so I’ve been looking forward to this. The cars all sound unique and fun to drive. Plus the addition of multi-class racing with the GT3 bigger brothers is always a bonus.

It’s not been announced yet how much it will be. Though it should be out today so we should find out soon. What a silly question though, of course I’ll be getting it. Edit, It’ll be out in steam today. Console will be getting it in a few months or so apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greboth 2,705 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 So the GT4 pack is £18 which I don’t think is bad for 11 new cars. Sadly no new tracks as the gt4 raced on the same tracks as the gt3 cars. I’ve been playing with it since release and it’s great fun. The cars are slower (obviously) but the racing is still as fun. I’ve yet to try multiclass racing but will try to find a server with it soon as I’d like to see how well it works. phil bottle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk I doubt we'll get free tracks as the problem with new tracks is that the tracks are the one used in the Blancpain GT Series and the GT4 series uses the same tracks. So unless ACC gets licence for JGTC (for example) I doubt well see new tracks but then it'll be sold as a JGTC pack. But tbh they aren't taking the piss with the number of dlc packs and the prices have been good value so I'm more than happy to buy the dlc is this continues.

Maybe I'm spoilt with all the free content from GT Sport. I was happy to pay for the Hamilton dlc simply because of all the free updates that went before it.Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk Greboth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greboth 2,705 Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 So ACC has had quite a major update yesterday. All covered nicely here; The cliff notes though are; - Improced physics engine which now runs at 400hz - A few tweaks to the tyres model with respect to heat transfer and management - Added the BMW 4 series GT3 car - Added DLSS for nVidia and FFX for AMD gpu’s It’s the DLSS I’m most interested in as ACC is a pig to run in VR. So hopefully with the benefit of DLSS it will be possible to get a usuable framerate in VR. phil bottle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
