    Considering how far behind they are on AC Evo’s development I find this a bit worrying but from what I gather this is developed mainly by another studio, but still carries the Assetto Corsa name. A bit weird.

      I think it has the name because it’s using the AC physics engine (plus the benefits of name recognition, of course)

    There are already a bunch of videos out of people testing the demo at the Simracing Expo this weekend.

    I really, REALLY have high hopes for this especially after EA abandoned WRC now. We desperately need a new leader in rally games that does modern graphics and accurately recreated cars.

    It only seems to be single player at the moment, but I’d love for this to have some form of live multiplayer. Let me race my friends as ghosts on stages and give us a rallycross mode

    Good news! I hope it’s good. We need some more competition in the rally/rallycross game space.

    I saw they only had two events to choose from in the version that was playable at the Sim Racing Expo, so hopefully they add some more base game stages before 1.0. I’m sure there will be quite a few DLCs adding new events either way.

      The lack of stages compared to RBR is the thing I’m mostly concerned about. In the interview with Overtake.gg they were talking about mods but I can hardly imagine that we will ever see a big modding community for ACR. Especially when the base content has so high standards for visuals.

        Yes, I had seen some comments on mods too, and had similar thoughts. Everything looks impressively detailed.

        I assume they’ll probably follow the typical AC model of having a decent number of tracks and cars in the base game, and DLCs for those that want more.

        To be fair RBR has an insane amount of maps so it might be an unfair comparison 🤣 that’s said though, I really don’t like how a lot of RBR maps are really…flat and barren. Really breaks the immersion and sense of speed.

          Yeah, but I think they still need to have enough stages so that you do not have seen them all after 10 hours and can easily start memorizing them. RBR can achieve that because stages vary in quality. But ACR has to achieve that despite that.
