Someone told me that you need to get 300 posts for that.
Well, I think it worked for me.
It's a great feeling sim, but I haven't tried it with a controller on PC and I'm hoping they can figure out a way to smooth the controls to fit gamepads better.
Also, there's a lot of cars I don't recognize a few of the cars (F1 and was that a Glickenhaus?) in the teaser, I'm guessing those are coming in future DLC packs for the PC?

Awesome news. AC is a fine sim at it's core and from what I hear works great on gamepads.
It just needs a lot of work in many places (Career mode and AI especially), so it will be a challenge for such a small team. Hopefully the next few months are productive in these areas for Kunos and the PC release also sees the benefits from this.

I like Project CARS but I'm hoping for something that feels a bit more like a polished and tighter package.
PCars is a great sim but from a UI perspective I find the game to be a bit of a mess. Also, the initial issues with getting the game to control well with a gamepad put me off pretty early.
I will give this a shot on PC at some point.

I like the sheen on the cars, their cars look good, hope their tracks are detailed and has good textures. Just bring it over with some good IQ and they should be fine.
Lets take the positives coming from a PC perspective, maybe we will get a more refined MP experience, and maybe we can get a font size thats readable on a TV. And finally maybe a UI that can be navigated via wheel/pad. The added business should allow some more license deals too.
The tracks are laser scanned, all of them.
I believe this will be the 2nd official racing sim to have a licensed F1 car, iRacing being the other.
Just as an insight to the depth Kunos will go. McLaren released a software update for the ECU governing traction control and KERs. Kunos update the game to reflect the software changed McLaren implemented. When they implement traction control or any electronic assist on the cars in game, it actually uses the information from the manufacturer, meaning each cars electronic aids actually have different settings and feelings.

What do you guys think how well it will run on consoles?
The XB1 graphics solution is comparable with Radeon HD 7790 (or a GeForce 650Ti), and the PS4's to an HD 7870 (or 660Ti). Has anyone experiences with AC and those cards or seen a benchmarks including those cards from the "final" build?

Honestly, I've been so happy with racing games this gen.
A wheel purchase is a must now.

It is less demanding on PC than PCARS. That might not mean much, as their engines are very different, but they must be confident that they can make it work, so I'd expect it to perform well - certainly 60fps, and probably 1080p.

MEGATON number 2 for today
Its like PS1 gen all over again....so many racers to choose from.
Probably 1080p@60fps on PS4, 900p on Xbox One. It doesn't have heavy rain effects so the framerate should be pretty stable.

Pretty sweet!
I think it's great that it's coming to consoles, but I wish they hadn't thrown their hat in the ring with a publisher, and (unconfirmed) boxed copies. If they had kept it digital, with a reduced price they could have kept expectations down.
It's not a $60 product. Perhaps they can make it into one, but as we speak it's not.

Exactly what I wanted to hear, I'm not really a fan of the UI on the current PC version.
but its already 45 euros on steam, or 50 euros if you purchase combo with nurburgring (dlc#1, otherwise priced 15 euros on its own)
and that price is digital again, and on a platform that is considered cheaper to game on than current consoles.
so even by comparing to pc price, its not expensive.
I can very easily see a dlc#2 and a dlc#3 coming and bundled all together for console retail.
performance on console, and how they'll be able to spruce up the game for the average non-sim player is what will count more for sales imo
but are not the tacks in assetto corsa laser scanned?
I mean, for a track racing game, hand painted tracks vs laser scanned tracks.... the latter wins.

I'm so glad that consoles can also get these games, I have always preferred simulators. Over arcade racing. The driving genre as a whole is in a pretty good shape right now.

Sounds good, if they can deliver on what they currently have and even improve it for the console release, then I'd be ecstatic. I love racing games, so the more that cross-over the better. I just hope they can deliver a 1080p 60fps experience or 60fp with minimal dips at launch. Looking forward to it and hopefully we'll see some gameplay footage not too far from now.
Trento Bondone though. Worth 10 tracks alone. As long as you have Trento Bondone and the Cobra, you're set.
Seriously though, most of my favourite cars / tracks are mods now I come to think of it.
Both of those have big teams and budgets behind them. Kunos is pretty small, give them a break.
why does everyone seem to forget forza 5? not only it was the first game to offer a laser scanned version of the ring (amongst many other laser scanned tracks), but it also launched with lotus F1 back at 2013

I agree with you that positives will derive for pc version by console development.
so, good for everybody
GT tracks are also laser scanned.

Even the ring in Forza 5 seems to have small inaccuracies, though of course it's lightyears better than the abomination in previous games.
