Assetto Corsa- "Kudos to Kunos"


As many of you will know gamescom is upon us and there has been much speculation about the upcoming sim Assetto Corsa. The sim has been highly anticipated for months and this is the first time gamers have had the opportunity to play the sim.

Wim Bries who is the man in the video left his reaction to his experience in the description.

"Assetto Corsa exceeded all of my expectations. My first impression when just looking at the overall graphical style got me really exited.
It just looks the works. Overall external car physics (Movement) seemed to have the correct speed and sense of weight.
Shadings and Dept of field where spot on. 

When i finaly stept into the rig, and got to do a few laps with the BMW Z4 GT3 i did not know what to expect of the actual physics of the game.
It very soon became clear that this must be one of the best compromises between Sim and Fun i came across in a long time. The car behaves as you would expect, and you really feel connected to the track. Details like braking feel, oversteer and understeer seemed so natural. even after a few minutes in a noisy environment with a wheel and pedals i never used. I might ad i was pleasantly surprised by the Fanatec GT wheel used on the rig. Great wheel.

I could go on for a few more pages about how it fulfilled my expectations, but sadly my holiday ends today and so i will have to cut the post short for today.

Most importantly i would like to thank the Kunos team for the great hospitality and the detailed explanations of their view regarding the long term strategy of Assetto Corsa.
Its very clear that Stefano, Aristotelis and Marco are very passionate about the sim and are keeping future user wishes in mind.
All in all i must have talked to them for more then an hour, and they answered all my questions. Even the Modding related ones...

I ended my day as a happy man... 
(My apologies for a rather rough video edit, but time is an issue at the moment, and i did want to share the footage with all the fans.)"


With a lot more footage to come, we have a lot planned for the show including an interview with a man who attended gamescom and is willing to give his thoughts on the underdog. Overall, gamescom so far looks to be a major success for everyone at Kunos and it's surely only going to go up!
