      @@mattiapresti7295 OG Assetto Corsa feels significantly better than Automobilista 2 imo. That being said, I haven't tried the newest update. But every time I've tried it, the front end always felt super vague and I could never get a good feel for how I was loading up the tires when cornering. While in Assetto Corsa, I can judge grip levels and load up the tires with so much more precision, detail, and control. It's such a big difference that I've never been able to get into AM2R despite trying many times, pretty much whatever they claim to have improved the tire model and FFB.

      Anyway, if we talk of tyre model, weather and dirt (as some try to add) and gearboxes, (racing) AI, damages, car selection, it is behind others.
      FFB, that becomes relevant with an highend wheel, and LASERscanned tracks, are the strenght points of AC.

    With what happened between you and Reiza a couple years ago, I'm honestly impressed you gave it a second chance. No matter who was in the right back then, this was a very commendable step on your part that many people wouldn't have had the character to make after having such a "falling out".
    I also think it's justified. Being a regular forum user, there has always been a tendency of "one step forward, half a step back" with the physics of this game, resulting in some good and some horrible cars (like the Caterhams).
    Being a beta member now, I can honestly say that every car that receives these updates is either subtly or massively better off for it. Not to say it's perfect, because nothing will ever be, but it's much, much closer.

      So it wasn't just me then (the Caterhams), they felt good in every game I played *except* AMS2, and was wondering why so many were raving about it in this game. I tried to tune them up and they drove like absolute dogshit no matter what. It made no sense because I watched numerous IRL track videos and the physics in the game did NOT match up or even get anywhere close to what they're like IRL. I haven't played the game in some months now but if the physics update is really this good I might have to hop on again.

    Awesome to see you try the game again! For me 1.5 is so substantial it's hard to drive any other content that doesn't have it, cannot wait for the full patch next week. The amount of tracks and racing series this game has out of the box, combined with the dynamic weather system and their AI improvements is some of the best sim racing experiences I've ever had. It really helps that the online community can be really chill to play with since it's so small and dedicated, and setting up a server and inviting your friends is a breeze (compared to RF2/AC/ACC anyways lol).
    I strongly recommend you give the historic Norsdchleife a go! Easily the best version of that historical track ever made in a sim, so detailed and the Sudschleife is absolutely incredible. Spa historical is up there too, I just did that last night with a couple friends in Group C cars and the experience was so intense and scary fast. Lots of content to be enjoyed in this sim even with this amount of cars with the new physics, but next week when they all get it it should be so fun, can't wait to discover what new cars are gonna be my favorite :D

      Just in case owners of AMS2 are on the RC stream on Steam are confused, the BETA stream is entirely separate and requires permission from Reiza to access. Those of us lucky enough to try it out are not permitted to post images or video of what we see. The reason is some of the content is WIP whilst other parts are close to release, and the builds add and remove parts constantly to allow testing to be focused on specific areas of development.
      The upcoming DLC is awesome but not polished, yet. I have never had as much laugh-out-loud fun as when driving on the beta multiplayer servers. It is very freeing when SR is not on the line.

    Thanks, Jimmy, for taking a fresh look at AMS2 and delivering another fair assessment of the sim. In the three years since its initial release, AMS2 certainly has generated more than its fair share of frustration--for simracers, developers, and content creators alike. Fortunately, Reiza appear to have identified the remaining hive of physics gremlins and are in the process of rooting them out. The upcoming V1.5 physics and tire model updates have the potential to elevate the driving experience in AMS2 out of the "Simulator-ish" tier and into the upper echelon of racing sims. Undoubtedly, other areas remain that can benefit from further development, but class-leading VR, a wide range of content, and (finally) a realistic, predictable, and entertaining driving experience is more than enough to merit a second chance.

    Hi Jimmy. Another great video by you. Really fun race to watch. I played Automobilista 2 since it came out. And I must say it changed a lot over time. There were some cars that felt way too snappy that over time gradually got better to drive with the updates. As I understand the next update will apply the changes to all cars ingame. I´m also excited for the content they teased like 3 versions of Le Mans (70s,90s and modern) as well as prototypes and touring cars etc from the 70s up to modern days with LmdH and new gt3 cars. If they keep finetuning the game it will be very cool I think. Thank you for your videos Jimmy. They´re always good to watch. Wish you all the best!

    To clarify these cars are updated to the new "1.5 physics standards" but the game is not version 1.5 yet (that should come later this month, or early August). But yes huge steps in the right direction month after month from Reiza.

    I have been playing AMS2 nearly every Saturday for the last year and a half. I have always felt the cars were on the brink of uncontrollable. Eventually you get use to it and drive them within the limits of the game. However, with this new update, the cars behave more predictably. Spinning around is less likely and when you do start to spin there is a chance to save it. Previously, if you spun it was pretty much game over.

    I love AMS2, it is my sim of choice and the current cars with the updated physics feel great. I cannot wait for 1.5. I didn't know that Reiza left bad comments in the past, that is pretty shit but I'm glad you gave it another shot and I hope you do more coverage of it in the future.

  • @SeaGLGaming
    @SeaGLGaming Před 11 měsíci +4

    For me, I couldn't stand the physics of AMS2 either for a long time. I think it was late 2021 where they finally released a big FFB and tire model overhaul that finally made the driving mostly enjoyable. Still wasn't perfect as that simultaneous oversteer/understeer/floaty feeling never fully went away, but at least with the new FFB and tire model, you could tune most of it out. That update finally got me comfortable with the driving, but it was the AI that honestly kept me playing it. Every other sim, the AI just drive around single file and are very predictable to race against. The AI in AMS2 still struggle and can be predictable through certain corners, but they're so much more aggressive when battling other cars that it just creates for some really fun and brilliant racing. Coming from AC where the AI just give you the corner even though they still have two car lengths on you, AMS2's AI will pin you on the outside of the track, try to out break you, and actually try to come back on you before you get away. When you get near them, they'll push themselves further and sometimes make mistakes because so like missing the apex or hitting track limits. So I'm really excited for the Le Mans update coming later this year. Only thing I feel AMS2 is missing are modern prototypes and GTs. Also Reiza's historic tracks have just been absolutely amazing. You have to give a 70s F1 car ago on the 1971 Nordschliefe.

    I'm much more of a casual driver, but when I started trying out AMS2, I immediately went back to Assetto Corsa, as it felt much better.
    However with every major update I checked back into AMS2 and it's now at the point for me, where I consider it to be as good as AC.
    And since they're not stopping with development anytime soon, it will probably be my favorite race sim farely soon.

    Some friends and I started what will hopefully become an annual series where we race pretty much every month, and 99% of our races/planned races are in AMS2. And yes, we've run into some problems here and there, especially in multiplayer, but overall it's been a fun series so far.
    I've personally been mainly playing AMS2 over other games since I bought it around the middle of last year because the physics, especially after I got used to them, felt nicer for me personally to deal with. Sure, some cars are insanely difficult to drive and I won't really bother touching them much, but over time I've definitely found myself liking more and more of the cars either from updates or me simply being more used to how they run. And our little series isn't exactly a group of veteran sim racers, I'm one of the most experienced and before this, I spent more time on Project CARS than anything else. One of the others comes from iRacing, meanwhile, the remaining two are totally new to sim racing. Heck, one of those two is using a controller lmao
    I know a lot of people have their problems with this game, and we'd certainly like for some of the glitches we've run into to be fixed (some already have thankfully), but overall for us it's a fun experience and kinda fits our playstyle now. Next session incidentally is actually at Long Beach, we're taking the Copa Montanas for 158 laps and those things are surprisingly fun to drive for all of us!

    Having never heard about the AMS2 devs and community coming after you, my first thought upon hearing about it was "Well, it's not like he wants to not like it." and I glad you echoed my thoughts during the video. Sometimes you just don't enjoy an experience, and that's fine, and it's fine when others disagree. No one jumps into a game (or anything for that matter) wanting to not like it, and people get so worked up over differing opinions. You enjoy it, cool. If you don't enjoy it, also cool.
    Well done though for actually coming back after the bad experience, despite everything you've given it another go and enjoyed it. As you said, hopefully the AMS2 community can be a bit kinder about it all in the future.

    I'll have to try it again when they update the GT and DPI classes. I actually love their system for setting up mixed racing, its the best out there. Their AI is also really good.
    The one thing for me that i just couldnt get passed is the brake feeling. Its like there was no sensation at all if the tires were locking up or if they had traction, so i could never brake consistently in that game.

  • @FoxiFyer

    AMS1 and 2 have always been my personal go-to sims, other than NR2003. I know it's not the most "realistic", but it has fun AI to race and believable enough physics, graphics are well optimized, and it's the best sim for "jump in and have fun", which is something alot of sim racing games struggle at, the pick up and play experience.

A lot of people speculated that Reiza would be looking to make an AMS3 by 2025, but I don't think that's the case. I can see AMS2 being their sole content platform for the remainder of this decade (maybe a few years less, but it would be great to see a console port in that time!)
