I never understood how anyone could play racing sims on consoles. You need at least 60 fps (but preferably 100+) for these in order to pull off timely maneuvers.

i'm not a massive fan of driving games at the best of times but driving sims are just too much for me to even consider them.

One thing is for sure though, they'll be the first games to really have photo-realistic graphics.

One thing about Assetto Corsa is the challenge are very difficult in Assetto Corsa, enough to make a real professional driver to struggle at them. I don't spend much time with Driving Sims nowadays but Assetto Corsa is a very different type of game than Forza/GT combine. While I'll likely buy it, I'll wait for gamers impression before I consider buying it.

It really feels like they’re moving away from the console market.

Yes because consoles don't have 60fps racing games... :/

And moving towards early access.

Not the first time.

Is it limited to the Blancpain GT series or will you be able to race other cars and tracks?

And racing games are some of the easiest games to run smooth and look good. Although a couple of racing games this gen on consoles have been 30fps. Driveclub, The Crew, Forza Horizon 2 & 3, Redout on Xbox One are all 30fps and Assetto Corsa on the base PS4 and Xbox One can't maintain a stable 60fps at all especially with the 15 cars max option at best the framerates on the PS4 and Xbox One average in the early to mid 40s, only with the 10 car option does either console get close to 60fps with the framerate averaging in the early to mid 50s.

Again.....there's locked 60fps racers on consoles...

... and they are all 60fps+ on PC.

.... And well done for adding nothing to the discussion that you were never apart of...... And they're not 60fps+ on every PC.

You fan boys need to stop using the term PC when it comes to frame rates and graphics as not every PC can do what you claim, heck when you look at the percentage of PC's in the world in relation to the PC's that can do what you guys claim you would be looking at what? Less then 1% of them being the high end?

As opposed to 100% of all, PS4/Pro's and Xbone/X being able to deliver the same performance.

What % of all consoles do X1, X1X, PS4, and PS4 Pro represent? Many people don't even have a current gen console. Besides, all current gen consoles are shit. I don't care if not everybody has a good gaming PC. I do and the capability to run the games at 60fps or higher is there. You are fucked on console if you want a proper gaming experience with all games.

Who cares what the average PC gamer uses? I have high end hardware. That's my frame of reference. I don't care about anyone else.

Damn straight.

Agreed

X1X / HDR / OLED / 9 Speaker ATMOS / 18” Subwoofer / Master Race checking in

I hope the interface will be better. And I hope some launcher will appear like for the first AC.

X1X and master race.

Sounds legit.

And yet still 30 fps and medium graphics.

I’m playing Forza 7 at Ultra 60 FPS

let me guess, you still have a 1440p Monitor ? Lmao

Lol
