Assetto Corsa Competizione Next-Gen Review - The Final Verdict

Assetto Corsa Competizione is a game made only for those seeking a full, unquestioned simulation, and its inconsistencies and lack of structure leave little room for error and a lot of room for frustration, even with the upgraded performance on the new consoles.

6?
This is one of the best sim racers on the market.
Realistic and has great visuals as well.
This is for the audience that really knows what they're doing on the track.

Boy do you not have a minimum skill level to be reviewing this game adequately

[SetAbominae]

Stuff like being forced to switch driver etc. is in line with real regulations for many racing series, so it’s completely understandable why they’d be implemented into a simulation game like this.

A 6 out of 10? LOL… Don’t let arcade guys review simulations …. For a start, don’t review a sim using a controller …lol ..It’s quite simple I race on GT, Forza, Grid etc etc, for fun, I race on ACC for achievement… If you are not prepared to put time in this game, best stick with the arcade games… No other racing game on console even comes close to this… Best physics, Best sound, Best AI, Best racer … Full stop!

Personally loving the next gen version

As someone who already owns ACC on PS4 I Was hoping to hear more about the graphical upgrades before I buy a PS5. How solid is the 60 frames per second? Is there a performance mode vs Fidelity? Is there ray tracing? Has the audio been affected at all? What about the hdri range? How are the load times?

[rayhanurrahman]

surely, this is not an arcade game. every game should have it's own identity, acc is doing fine in that regard.

if you make a game so beginner friendly, then probably you can't make it a true simulator at the same time.

in the market, there are other excellent simcades like fh5, gt7, f1 2021... acc doesn't need to be like yet another simcade. acc is somethings unique.

idk if you played the game by a gamepad or wheel, but acc isn't supposed to be played by a gamepad.

all in all, your review is sound but a bit biased as well - acc wasn't built for beginners.

This is by far the best sim racing game out there, and you guys gave it a 6 😂 this channel is a joke. This game is not for casual gamers but for people who really love to race and want to improve their driving skills. I can see by the way the steering wheel is moving that you guys tested this game on a controller which makes the game a lot less satisfying. Also the way you drive tells me you’re more of a need for speed kinda racer, so yeah in that case you will not enjoy acc.

[staszyslaw]

Guy reviewing hardcore sim racing game, Playing on controller, half of time talking about racing with AI... Yes because ACC is all about racing AI dude please stop 🤣🤣🤣

[TheRealEclipse]

I have never played this game but have played Project Cars 1 +2 and others. But even I feel like this sim is better than a 6/10.

I'll download it right now.

[Raven_A]

Imagine buying a racing game that’s labeled an official licensed simulator and then complaining that it’s hard to learn, like wow bro smdh.

[stevecox]

New to this channel, and just found it because I searched for an ACC review. Thanks for the details, Jack Black. 🤜🤛

[Fromatic]

You felt like pit lane speed limit didn't apply to the ai cars because it doesn't apply until you reach the limit line just before the garages, the limit didn't apply the moment you leave the track for the pits

29/9/2022 1.8 console update. Many of us are waiting patiently with building excitement. We all have only 9 days left till the major release what will change ACC gameplay a lot.
I’m from London UK and have been racing AC and ACC on PS4 and PS5. I’ve raced over 1000+ hours on AC and over 1000+hrs on ACC PS4 version. Now building up big time on PS5. Joined a league, 10TENTH RACING COMMUNITY, fantastic! True addict, aren’t you? Since release of ACC I had many serious problems with the game. And with every new update, with release of PS5 console, with new ACC console version I have felt a lot of new optimistic expectations followed by disappointment and a letdown from game developers. I’ve been lucky to always have a good FFB on my T300 Ferrari Alcantara edition and now DD1, but there were other problems what took a lot of nerve and patience. It’s hard to remember all the issues but there are few what stand out to me. For example not able to join multiplayer and the proposed fix was to delete my carefully selected 300 racing friends from AC and ACC. Of course I refused to do that and kept waiting till issue was fixed. That was a big wait but I used time to practice my racing in single player. Another problem is crashing Career. It crashed on three occasions trying to complete career endurance race of 3hours non stop racing. It crashed twice somewhere in last leg. Other day I completed the race, crossed finish line and while checking lap times game crashed not saving my career endurance progress. I was fuming! Another issue we all experienced was game simply crashing midrace, it happened a lot. So annoying and was makings me really angry when I had a good race. Then replay save crash needs to be looked at. Even now after all possible updates on PS5 software and ACC PS5 version updates I am experiencing game crashes, some DD1 disconnects, poor visuals as shading under cars, cars flickering. Other minor game bugs - Pit entrance notice issue, not able to use mapped buttons to look left/right as I can on AC version, no in cockpit turn indicators and headlighs LED’s. Sound issues after watching replay and rejoining track. One occation I had cockpit view flickering in career race, there was no flickering from outside view. Many gamers have poor FFB and other issues with game. The most major is game crashing and disconnects while racing leagues Championships. Over 2 years time since ACC console release game is not in a perfect state yet, but it’s playable and enjoyable. I wish there was more communication and a HELPING HAND between Kunos and UntoldGames who develops console version now. I wish thee was more communication from 505games what is distributor’s of console ACC. And I believe we console players deserve an APOLOGY from 505 games and Kunos for a big letdown because I believe game is not completed, it’s got many problems and is like in a beta version. We PS5 players are lucky to have both versions available to play side by side on PS5. I switch between PS5 and PS4 version because PS5 lobbies has small attendance numbers.
With 1.8 version PS5 and Xbox UntoldGames has to nail it. No excuses, it has to be perfection. Watching official Kunos ytube channel I learned Marcos, Aris and team still have that passion, they put a lot of effort developing PC 1.8 version what is a massive overhaul of ACC what changed already great game to something fascinating and they are proud of it. Would be shame if UntoldGames would do a poor job with console 1.8 version and drop all that KUNOS effort down in a mud. We don’t know what to expect precisely, announcement stated upgraded tyre model and 400hz + different liveries? We will see. Researching PC 1.8 update, numerous patch notes and reviews I learned about UPDATED rain visuals, rain tyre handling, rain track limits, cars BOP’s, reworked replay camera angles, mist and dew conditions, car night lights, bmw fuel consumption, there is so much more. PC 1.8 version is always updated. So which 1.8 version + latest update we console gamers will receive is not known yet. But it will change the game for sure.

‘Sometimes you’ll crash out of the race through no fault of your own’ well done guys, you discovered motorsport, that’s just realism

[poptop]

Haha a 6?! Oh My Good. Sure the graphics are a 6 but the actual racing, configurations sound etc 10/10! Best go and play Mario Kart guys. Spent so much time playing this and GT7. Both very different but both fantastic!

[beyonddeepsoulfulhousemixes]

During my first few days with ACC, the AI actually lapped me after I span out a couple of times - GT's AI hasn't managed to do that in over two decades lol
