This is what happens when a developer listens to what their playerbase wants. Take notes f1 2021
Are you telling EA to listen to the players? 🤣🤣🤣 Lol
@@cntrol101 yes 😂
CodeMasters doesn't take notes...
@@Texan_American yeah that's why im telling them to do so
@@jelmero3090 that’s like pissing into the wind lol
And not forgetting us PS5 owners of ACC PS4 version. Who will be getting a next gen update to 1.8 on the 24th of February. With free public online lobbies. So looking forward to it. But then 4th of March is GT7. Racing on console is looking awesome this year.
GT7 better be coming to PC, no way i am paying scalper prices for a ps5
@@OugaBoogaShockwave Totally undestood. Lucky I got a PS5 day one here in Japan. I wouldn't hild my breath on the PC port for a long time
@@86billionneurons well there are LOTS of former PS owners that play PC & it would bring lots of people back to GT. I don't understand why Sony doesn't let PC players in to GT. I own GT 1,2 5 & 6 so i have been playing GT since day 1. Too bad for sony.
@@OugaBoogaShockwave its one of few ps exlusives it makes people buy the console
@@OugaBoogaShockwave I'm one of those, GT5 was what got me into cars and sim racing in the first place. I'd be over the moon for a PC GT7 release.
I used to main AC but after playing ACC for a few hours the difference in quality is obvious. Force feedback is better and damn the car sounds are insane. Really made me appreciate how important car sounds are to your understanding of what the car is doing.
The First Ac is year lights better than acc ,I mean on series X ( I dont know the pc versions) the ffb is far superior on the first Ac , we have fov and pov setting , nurburgring nord , amazing handling and Phisycs
Man I dont know but the Acc on console it's very weird , I cannot get that connection with the car
@@bratosin1 There's a reason to believe Kunos stripped some backend code in order for the game to run at a locked 30 on the Xbox One. Maybe the next-gen update will fix your issue cause ACC on PC dwarfs AC by far.
@@kak8895 on series x run at 50 fps ,also on one x at 40.45 , i dont have any problem with the fps , in my eyes looks amazing on series x , the problem is i dont get the same connection with the car and the same ffb ,i dont feel the weight of the cars, the bumpers, everything it's very light and smooth , the first ac feels like heaven
@@bratosin1 It's got to be your hardware then. No way you'll feel less FFB compared to AC no way. That's why you have to wait for the next gen update.
@@bratosin1 acc use to have that when it was only for PC but they got rid of it, when they made it available for console
i love ACC. also bought AC not to use it, just to support them. i was impressed with the issues 1.8 had, when my steam said all the time i have to update ACC, even in weekends. never seen something like this from a developer. also i love Aris and his openness and "never lie, never hide" policy. this reflects on the final product, in the end
Did the same but had to refund AC shortly after, after it kept crashing every time I started a race. And I was also disappointed by the worst menu UI I've seen in a game. Also I haven't played ACC since 1.8 update, since I couldn't even launch the game after that, was having real serious issues. Been playing Forza Motorsport 7 on PC ever since, highly recommend it.
@@NarekAvetisyan ACC is very fun but it crashes more than T1 in multiplayer lobbies on ps. AC has never ever crashed for me and is perfect when I don’t want to take it as seriously
@@NarekAvetisyan You're supposed to play Assetto Corsa with Content Manager. It's a mod driven game
@@NarekAvetisyan You're supposed to play AC with content manager
I watched Nicki Thiim and Chris Zeochling testing the early access builds back in the day. There were a lot issues with curb behavior like loosing control complete and in a very weird way and also Misano sausage curbs just shot you sometimes straight to the moon lol and they both did a rage quit like every time with shouting FIX YOUR GAME when the race was over because crashed again before the finish line ... So we shared that feedback, clips in the Kunos forum, had discussions with Ares and Stefano about those things the pro drivers mentioned, explained and 2 weeks later the 5 point tire model was announced in that short video. Later in a stream Ares told that theey where close to give up on the sim but here are we now and since 1.2 ACC is really great. That update was the first time Nicki Thiim just loved ACC the whole 2hrs stream he did. I think the video from that day is still available on his CZcams channel 😀
I remember the Misano carousel curbs well. Had some wild laps there in early access.
I was so annoyed when ACC came out in early access and then everyone said it felt “incomplete”. Early access is basically seen as a demo by a lot of people these days.
The gaming community is annoying.
The sim racing community is annoying.
Hard not to be annoyed around here
I was also annoyed for like two days and did some stupid ranting. Later they did a hotfix + I started getting used to it, and to understand the vehicle dynamics - they made sense. Unfortunately, most of the community didn't adjust to changed paradigm compared to AC, and pretty much protested it. There was probably plenty of truth about 1st release car being too challenging, many not knowing whats the reason, blamed FFB, which wasn't the case. The truth was that it was entirely different paradigm and Kunos switched back in second build. Ermin did explain pretty well how car was in 1st EA, but it is untrue that car was on complete rails, and that it wasn't possible to safely overdrive it without spinning out. It was overdrivable, but it required more time to practice and more concentration and anticipation. It is very sad that it didn't get acceptance from community, and I am also angry at Kunos that they didn't gradual step back to less challenging handling, but pretty much flipped paradigm immediately.
its been out of early access for a long time now and some of it still feels incomplete and BETA spec to me. Getting into spectator mode during qualifying is a ridiculous mission of unintuitive options. Exceed track limits on your run up to the line on your first lap in hotlap mode and it just instantly boots you back to the garage with no explanation. Loads of stupid things like that which really should be better by now
@@r6scrubs126 after coming from RF2, AC, and iRacing, I can confidently said ACC has FAR better UI and general functionality than most other sims though, and I’d argue it feels MUCH more polished than all of those titles.
@@dre_k0 even real racing communities are the worst. I can’t even watch F1 anymore because I get so annoyed with the fans arguments, when at the end of the day, most people don’t even know enough about it to comment.
I think ACC would be a good base on which to expand on with other official series. They have GT3 and GT4 now, but it would be nice to see others coming in to add on to it instead of making a separate sim and starting from scratch each time… or open it to mods and let the skilled modding community add on to it…
Mods would ruin ACC. Period.
I really feel like they would probably have to though. ACC seems very very focused on GT track racing, when first AC is very much an unpolished sanbox, which let you race anything from modern Formula 1 to street Wangan action.
I just hope they will create a game that will let us have even more freedom that was actually fully intentional and not expanded by literal hack of the game, because that's what CSP technically is. Not saying it's bad, but it would be great to have so many possibilites by default in the new AC game, where modders don't need to do the developer's job on such large scale.
I don't understand this obsession with cramming in as much content as possible. ACC is a dedicated GT3 and GT4 simulator, it doesn't make sense to shoehorn more disciplines into it. The prevailing "jack of all trades" approach to sims prioritises a bloated, engorged car count over the quality of the experience; do a GT3 race in AC, and then ACC, and tell me which feels more like you're actually racing in an SRO series. I like AC a lot, but if I want an authentic and complete experience of a racing series I'll take a focused title like ACC any day.
They're putting more cars in don't forget like the new ST and BMW m2 Cs etc so they're adding more stuff just not going wild which is a great thing. More time spent making each car unique and more true to life
IMO ACC should add DTM option since it's already racing GT cars, and it's not the endurance style racing like GT3 and GT4
the only thing ACC is missing now is a 24hr dlcs pack with le mans and 24hr Nürburgring as well LMP1 and LMP 2 would be a nice addition to complete the WEC experience imo
Then throw in Daytona 24hr as well while you're at it 😜
I think the problem is that they are sticking with official Licensed tracks through the GT World Challenge (not WEC), which does not include any of those, nor does the it include prototype cars of any kind. Sebring is on the schedule for this year, giving potential access to 3 of the big 24 hour races with Spa and Bathurst. Lemans, Daytona, and Nurburgring 24hr, are all out licensing wise.
@@Kaylos29 GT3 is coming to Le Mans in 2024, could be a good timing and give second life to the game.
@@viciousfluffy6598 It's not run by SRO so wont happen.
I think it's a license problem. They could add only tracks run by SRO events...
As an Italian I loved and approve the italian intro, well done !
From what I understand Kunos wanted to play around with the unreal engine, but not commit to a full scale AC game, so they opted to focus on gt3. Next AC game will be epic.
If we could get a mix between content manager and acc for a 3rd game that would be amazing
Dude, you nailed that intro for not being Italian!
It's clear to me that ACC is a labour of love. I will keep buying the DLCs to support their hard work.
That Gran Turismo 5 lounge music... legendary.
Kunos should get the licensing for F1, having a proper sim for F1 would be so great!
Easy task for kunos, 7 cars, most of the tracks already kunos have , the problem is a sim f1 doesn't make money, how many people play with sim rig and wheel ? I mean in the world ? 20k , 50k , 100k ? The people that play with pad are millions, maybe 10 millions or even more , so this is the main reason , they sell more games for casual gamers
With vr.
The problem with Kunos is they’ll get most the tracks but then half of the modern grid and then sprinkle in older cars from different periods with countless missing in between and put them in the same races
They still haven’t fully finished the GT3s and have got GT4s and GT3s on regular AC they could’ve easily ported over yet didn’t. ACC needs a 2014 season of GT3 before they move on
@@bratosin1 where did you even get that idea from?
Screw the license, go with a fictional full ladder of single seaters. Add some rip offs of different previous F1 eras. Rip off old GP2s, FR3. 5s, F4... Now that would be a great game.
Amazing video Ermine! As someone who is jumping ship from GT Sport to ACC this was by and large the best advertisement for encouraging that switch. Svaka cast majstore!
Ermin, ACC is my 1st real racing sim. That said, I come from Wreckfest and Beamng that I've had for a couple of years but just got a G29 last week. Prior to that I was using a flight stick to drive. (I'm crazy like that). After watching this vid... I pulled the trigger on ACC and it's now 2 hours later and my arms hurt, but I have a big smile on my face! Even though I couldn't hit an apex if I was sitting on it with a Hammer. Thanks Man! This is FUN!!!
Even on my budget setup of a T150 the new updates feel amazing, before it was dead/dull.
Definitely my favourite go-to sim at the moment 👍
I have no idea what im doing wrong but on my T300 the force feedback is just terrible, dead/dull as you said. F1 games feel more realistic to me. I I've watched a bunch of tutorial on ffb setting for acc, non of it works. Im hopeless at this point...
@@jonikq try with a lut guide
@@jonikq I had the same with my T300 but months ago it went dead and i orderd the new CLS DD from fanatec. But ACC never gave the right doses of FFB to my T300 aswell even though i tried everything. But i also didnt get ACC to run smooth even thought my pc specs are oke and should be able to handle it.
@@jonikq czcams.com/video/piOYitMD5YM/video.html follow this guide. Set mine up with this guide and it's really good. I'm on t150 with 90% gain in game, and get occasional very minor clipping
as an Italian myself, I almost jumped on my chair when I heard you open the video in full on fluent italian lmao great job!!
Great video, didn't know much about Arsetto Corsa... But the use of Callista near the end. 😩👌
I loved AC and never really was into GT3 racing so I didn't get ACC until a recent sale.. but wow, what a sim, honestly my fav sim now and I absolutely LOVE GT3 racing now. 10/10
Very nicely done. Great cadence!
Started playing this on PS4 about 3 months ago and love it so much I bought my first ffb wheel set up
Great video as always! ;-)
ACC is the reason i upgraded my G920 for a CSL Elite and shelled out for a racing cockpit. The Porsche GT3 Cup combined with Oulton Park = driving heaven.
Been there since the beginning and still loving it more than ever!
That italian was pretty good👍👌 Keep up the good work like this👌❤️
The Intro is much appreciated, especially for the pronounciation.
Bel lavoro :)
ACC is easily my favorite sim nowadays, i prefer it to iracing.
I quit iRacing because of ACC. The physics complexity, reallistic handling, graphics, set up complexity... far superior. And it has proper grass physics, unlike iRacing where grass and tarmac physics are the same, just drastically reduced. Lazy.
I really wish Kunos went with the route of adding LMP and/or GTE cars as well. Couldn't be happier with what we have now though.
Yea, there currently two GTE manufacturers. Porsche and Ferrari. Both are in the game, just disable ABS. And you're good to go.
@@BiIboSwaggins 🤡🤡🤡
@@thechode7394 Ye bruv GTE racing is fun, try it :)
@@BiIboSwaggins do you mean actual GTE or gt3 with ABS turned off 😂🤣
@@thechode7394 Ah same thing really :^)
I just got into acc mid to late last year, but its one of those sims that you can quickly lose track of time and spend an entire day driving. And watching the Rolex 24 at Daytona this weekend there were several times it could have been a replay from ACC.
as an italian kid im so fucking proud of kunos, great ppl
Gotta love the negative toe meta tho
Lol
Wow, as Italian, I'm impressed with that intro, kudos to you
i LOVE ACC, it's made me fall in love with cars and racing. Thank you to the devs
that's a love letter to the game. thanks, much appreciated
Druze kanal ti je top.
Pozdrav iz bivse yuge.
As an Italian, that start really caught me really off guard lol, but in all honesty it wasn't even bad, good work
Loved the intro👌
This is beautiful. I wish that someone would pay this much attention to a street racing games (I mean with tracks taking place on public roads). Haven't had much goodness since Driveclub.
I'm also loving the ACC. The early days I thought I was that bad for not able to catch any slides but since the update boy oh boy do I love it. If iracing is too expensive for someone i think ACC hands down the best alternative even with the limited category choises. Still decent player base and if you go to a high SA server the racing is fairly clean as well (except maybe monza T1 lol).
Love the mass effect music in the background!
Man the Italian start had me confused. Good effort too, bravo :D
You have a very pleasant voice that suits well for narrative
I'm loving ACC recently upgraded to a wheel, and tried all the mainstream Sims. And acc is that perfect balance between accessibility and sim. I seem to be in the minority of people who loves driving GT4s though
I love GT4 aswell.
I love them too.
While I like the physical tire model in AMS2 and RF2, the way the car setup items interact and the fact that you have all the tracks and liveries you need to actually run a season are what brings ACC a step above for me.
That and the individual dashboards for each car. That just screams “hardcore sim”!
It’s pretty sad to think ACC is a sim, let alone a hard core sim.
@@gold333 Why? Because it isn't broken Rfactor or iceracing?
I was well surprised, but pleasantly so, to hear Haken in the background! Unexpected but a welcome surprise :)
They're a great bunch of guys.
Didn't notice it at first, then thought this seems familiar, and then thought No way, this is Haken!
Will you have a look at rf2 again? I tried it out yesterday, expecting yet another disappointment, and I was genuinely surprised. If they manage to fix a few physics quirks, and increase the player base, I believe we have a true contender back in the game. I never thought I'd be saying this if you asked me one week ago.
The NFS High Stakes showroom theme in the last part of the video gave me goosebumps. Childhood memories kicking in 🥺🥺🥺
as an Italian myself, the intro was pretty good, not gonna lie. wasn't expecting that, still, you chose the most difficult words for a non italian speaker, gotta give you that!
love the music background from NFS high stakes
I wish there was cross play even if it was just between consoles its hard to find a lobbies on xbox and would revive this game for me
Never played this.. but bought ams2.. ND holy crap.. I love racing now!!
your Italian speaking skills sparked something inside of me that I never knew I had it.
I raced go karts as a kid and have owned a g29 since 2015, and every now and then I would pull the g29 out for a play some car games like f1 and Asseto corsa when taking a break from my FPS games that I have been playing competitive for over 20 years.
I pulled out my trusty dusty old desk mounted g29 when 1.8 update come out and have not put the game down since, I’m Hooked!
Since 1.8’s release it’s the first time I actually have felt the real feeling of driving a car. (iRacing has always been to confusing/expensive for me to pick it up) since the 1.8 release I have brought a next level racing GT track and fanatec v3 pedals (and BPK) and haven’t touched CSGO or valorant since….
This is the game that has sucked me into sim racing for good!
Next buy will be a CSL DD and 34 inch 21:9 curved screen
Have you tried Kart Kraft? I haven't spent too much time in it yet, but it's pretty good. It's just hard to go from GT3 racing in ACC to Kart Kraft due to the difference in steering ratio lol. Probably on sale right now on steam.
@@bootysmaka22 long long time ago sun in the beta. I’d love to give it crack again now
Assetto Corsa and ACC is King.
If you do more AC and ACC content I will definitely subscribe.
Please Ermz, GT7 doesn't compare to the Assetto's.
This a legend channel BTW, the commentary is really cool and insightful !!!
On pc, ACC taught me how to road race proper, like proper proper, hard to explain, helped with EVERTHING but I bought it late in development, after the full release, I don't know how, but it did, across all Sims, and since the last update, on my rig it's unreal, amazing, what I like the most is how I can jump from it to iRacing, with pretty much the exact same feeling across the sims, on my rig I don't know what that means but I like it alot, so ya it's dope and I like it........ITS FUN, SIM RACING SHOULD BE FUN
wait ac2 confirmed for 2024? you just made my day, and made me consider acc, i had tried it once close after launch but didnt like it and had it refunded to return to my beloved AC, but now that so many updates have been put through their paces, i guess i can support kunos a bit with a purchase too
Imagine IF ALL the Series in SRO get added to the game next.
And if AC2 as a sim can incorporate car modifications for road cars like bumpers aero kits, rims, engine swapping sort of like how you would in need for speed.
I am not into ACC or GT3 cars ETC. But it was cool experience to wach this video about ACC history.
Your voice is so soothing it helps my sleep insomnia
Big mass effect guy huh? Nice selection of background themes
Italian is such a great language. I dont understand a single word, but it just sounds lovely. :)
Plus you guys gave my Valentino Rossi. :)
Greetz from Germany. :)
BEfore I started with sim driving I was a local Nordschleife tracknerd. I made mods for GTR Evolution and some skins fpr Assetto Corsa. I always liked Assetto Corsas FFB best but I tried IRacing at a buddy´s rig and I have to say this week I will get my first subscribtions. Iracing is the first sims, apart from AC, that realistically depicts the sense of speed and the understeer feeling. The worst sim I tested so far was Assetto Corsa Competizione. The FFB give barely any usable info. And I have driven such cars in real life. They are not THAT bad in real life. Quite the opposite XD
Acc and all the dlc was about $30 on steam last week. Huge value.
NFS High Stakes background music last chapter. LEGEND!!!!!!!!
Gotta give the video a like because you chose Callista by Saki Kaskas (rip our man) from nfs high stakes and mass effect 2
3:32 Fuck me that was NOT the song I expected to hear in this video, I recognise that intro ANYWHERE, 10/10 choice
Dude i have your double tap and djinn bass plugins thats so cool you do racing sim stuff too!
Hello my fellow Australian and Mount panorama is literally my backyard. (I live there)

Man's living the dream
It's super fun to skateboard down let me tell you 🤘
There are a good wine there? I see a nice vineyard around the circuit
Every time I get a lesson on GT3 cars it reminds me how much I miss real GT race cars.
That NFS High Stakes music brings back memories man
on an unrelated topic, like the music used in the video!
Props on the Callisa track
Good video man. Nice to see you started with the T500RS as that is what I'm about to start with too. How did you find it? Was you in a hurry yo replace it?
It was a great wheel, considering what it was. The CSL DD is definitely a world ahead though.
imagine ACC with multiclass races. LMP2. GTE. GT3... damn
Imagine ACC in VR with proper visuals and 90 fps... damn 🤣
Nice use of NFS High Stakes soundtrack
ngl i really want the Red Bull Ring in the game
Yeah they are doing a great job! I still main Forza with AC1 as by side sim mostly but I can't wait for the americas pack as just the camro is not enough... Hope they add daytona too though.
no sro
@@Insorteduplo Would be awesome to see ACC incorporate other series like IMSA with the same level of detail that they have done with the Blancpain series. It could be done as DLC series and then you could get popular race series with the best tracks and different cars from all around the world.
But forza Is not a proper simulator,fun though
And with LFM, ACC shines even more 👌🏽
Funny fact: LFS had 100Hz physics refresh rate about a million years ago and for almost a decade it is treated as outdated as even relatively casual PC2 used 1 kHz tick rate for key calculations.
This explains some of original AC weird moments.
Can't wait to play ACC and listen to the new Northlane song.
Would love to hear that AC2 is being developed with Unreal5. One criticism I have of ACC is, here in Australia at least, its multiplayer is not so well set-up for instant access and racing; not if comparing to iRacing and GT7/Sport anyway.
You need a revisit my man
As an italian that was some honestly amazing italian at the start
That Italian is amazing!
And today we have LFM with IRacing Level of matchmaking. It is insane what ACC has come to 🙏
Bought ACC and AC at dirt cheap price during winter sale. Best purchase I made.
100% the biggest issue with being bumped, the smallest bump and it sends you spinning
ACC was never a failure. It just got a lot better over time.
11:00 callista? Nice
I am learning italian for 4 years and that intro was just magic spell for me xd
I wouldn't understand anything if there wasn't any translation
I've never played this racing game. I'm looking forward to the ps5 update on February 22. I have the physical ps4 version. So I should be good to go for the update.
ACC is the cat's meow of GT3 and GT4. It also proves that a studio can bring exceptional sim racing titles at decent pricing without gouging clients. I own it and every DLC because they were just that.
❣️
What killed it off for me and the reason in never tried it, is because there are zero road cars.
I find it interesting the amount of people who complain that ACC is ‘narrow’ in focussing on just (predominantly) the GT3 World Challenge series. Do the same people buy F1 games and complain about that being ‘narrow’? Granted, GT3 will never be as popular a racing series as F1 (although a certain ‘Doctor’ joining the GT3 roster in 2022 can only help!), but why be a jack of all trades and master of none?
doctor...strange?

How's the modding community on ACC. I never tried it but I heard about alot of improvements on the PC version. The modding community is what keeps me playing the first AC although I am considering ACC if I see it on sale. But for now Gran Turismo is my go to for main sim racing and AC, F1 and Dirt are my go to on PC.
I got distracted by how awesome the background music is, what is it!?
I’m told the next tyre patch next month will be amazing.
Your Italian accent is goooood :D
