Assetto Corsa EVO - Marco Massarutto From Kunos ANSWERING Your Questions

[@OverTake_gg]

Hey everyone, thank you for watching this Q&A live or on VOD. We have now added chapters to make it easier for you to find the topics you are interested in! If you are having problems with the audio quality of our guest, you may find it helpful to turn on the automatic subtitles - they are not always 100% accurate, but they may help you to understand. On another note, some were asking for VR - we already asked about it in our last interview, might be worth watching as well: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYnZomVper6mrKc -Michel

[@L_Emir_de_Passy]

Thanks a lot for the video. It's great to read that VR is supported day 1 but we don't have any details beyond that. It would be nice to know if VR is a simple adapting job from 2d to 3d or if Kunos is actually trying to make a strong VR mode. I e: will there be native openXR support. There is also a very important VR feature that helps improve performance drastically for all VR headsets and is called foveated rendering. The best kind is quad view FR. If this is in ACE, all VR users will be very happy. Edit: OpenXR is listed in steam. So that's a great first step.

[@ProGen6]

I'm half deaf in one ear and could hear, people just like to complain. Thanks for a great interview.

Amazing, this is like a more sim version of driving in Test Drive Unlimited, basically. We might finally have our proper Microsoft Car Simulator with such idea.

[@HomieFFM]

The biggest revolution in racing game history is a game mode with zero racing?

[@andreasmoller9798]

@@quietbatpersontheir is racing, what did you get that from, But just doing racing is not enough anymore, their needs to be more, Its an revolution because it will have both race tracks and open world with proper sim physics, More freedom in the open world than forza horizon, career mode with a progression, Customize and upgrade cars, vr, and mod support, It could litterly be the best part of gt7, fh5, tdu while still have all the strengths of ac1 and acc. Thats is a true revolution to say the least.

[@brentweir4651]

A boy can hope!!!🤞

[@DCFHazardRebornChannel]

@@quietbatperson what are you on about mate? The game is still as he said a simulation. They don't want to dumb it down. And it sure as hell still has racing in it. In case you didn't notice they said at least 5 tracks for early access with Bathurst, Brands Hatch and Imola showcased as well. This is indeed the biggest revolution in racing game history. An open world racer on a simulation model, not arcade, or simcade, or whatever else. Most racing games are either tracks or open world. The open world games have fictional tracks usually built into that open world. And from those two directions, no open world game has been a true racing simulator. AC is the closest we got to it, and the modding community is awesome, but lets be real, its not proper open world. You just load up a track again, just bigger. And it has NONE of the open world events/functions/whatever else that open world games have. Kunos is for the first time bringing both of these worlds and elements together in one. Nobody said this was the first Open World game, or the first racing simulator. But it IS the first racing simulator with open world. That is indeed rather revolutionary.

[@ags911]

@@quietbatperson The game is not a racing simulator, it's a driving simulator. Think about what the most popular Assetto Corsa mods where. They know their crowd are driving enthusiasts, imagine going to virtual car meets being able to walk around and explore others' cars and their engines. Then take a cruise around listening to your V12 whilst the sun sets or drifting around Tokyo at night. You are confusing this game with ACC and iRacing which are the hardcore sims. This seems to be somewhere in-between Forza Horizon, Gran Turismo and the hardcore sims.

[@AEFox]

I don't understand, why nobody at any of the interviews to Kunos ... Why nobody ask them about if there is ANY kind of contact between them and the 2 main Modders of the GAME AC1 (Not talking about cars nor tracks mods) ... Ilja Jusupov (CSP and Content Manager) and Petter (PURE) ... Because I am not so sure if KUNOS realized that it's mainly because of the work of those 2 guys that KUNOS have sold and continue to sell countless copies of AC1 over about 10 years already, imagine how much money, without the kunos lifting a finger for years. So I think that KUNOS should THANK to those 2 guys for keeping AC1 alive since many years, because the main HUGE INCOME of Kunos since AC1 launch, I am sure it has been and continues to be AC1 sells and not ACC sells. The community of AC1 it's a lot bigger than ACC community, thanks to the modders, same that has been happening to GTA 5 for example.

[@stefanschuchardt5734]

By mentioning modders Kunos would acknowledge that people outside the company do a better job than themselves, for free! That would be kinda awkward and embarrassing. Also AC1 is history for Kunos.

[@AlienParkourZone]

yes i agree. Bought AC and ACC at the same time and played AC with content manager 90% of the time. Game becomes so much more fun through Content Manager.

[@papolo2001]

Not sure if the interviewer realized but I clearly understood Marco said the open world would be streamed!!!, if I understood well the full open world will not be stored in your PC (that is why he said dont worry the open world will not take a lot of space....), seems it will be stored in a server and it will stream to your PC as needed, in fact the exact same technology MS flight simulator 2024 uses now, also when he explained how this open world was created what he described (procedural buildings and vegetation, LIDAR grid,...) is exactly the same technology MS developed time ago for MS Flight simulator 2024. And in my humble opinion THIS should be the main question to ask Kunos regarding the open world, how are they gonna avoid the huge issues with servers and streaming MS is actually still having with his Flight simulator 2024 using this exactly same technology, but Kunos is not MS and do not have their server resources I assume,.... what are they gonna do to avoid this issues???? I think this is THE QUESTION TO ASK...

[@OverTake_gg]

I don't think he mentioned that the open world will be streamed from servers. Why should it be? Thats not even a small percentage of the Flight Sim world size. The reason it would not take crazy amounts of disk space might be a lot shared assets and textures, the Eifel region is quite uniform in that regard. But we will see and can ask about this next time! -Michel

[@papolo2001]

​@@OverTake_ggHi, from 1:05:07, after explaining just before a scanning system equivalent from the one MS fligth simulator 2024 uses, he literally says they use "a system that stream only the information you need", then say the amount of information is not the same like in a flight simulator, I can only assume because he was surely expecting the question regarding the big issues MS is having with basically the same technology. Then he says this way you do not need a "huge PC configuration", I assume he was referring to the amount of local storage in your PC. Maybe I am totally missunderstood, but he literally!! said it. This mean first you will need a permanente good internet connection, that not everybody has, second this mean in a future when they stop the servers you will not have access anymore, but as said a company like Microsoft with all it's power and resources still has today big issues with it in Flight simulator 2024 (issues I am suffering also...) although promissing this was not going to happen (literally when they launched the game their servers were unable to support the load for days). A good question for the next interview would be how they plan to avoid this happened to them, I can only assume they will only have a pretty small server structure compared with what MS for sure has (probably he will argue they need to stream less data than a flight simulator, as he already said). Tbh for me the internet connection is not an issue and probably to have this size of a map with this amount of detail, that apparently they want to even extend, probably this technology is the only way to do it, I totally understand that and for me it is not an issue at all. But as said if that is the way they do it then the big elephant in the room is how they will avoid the issues a huge mega corporation like MS is still today having using equivalent technology. And btw if you use MS Flight simulator 2024 you know the amount of detail at ground level is very good for a Flight simulator yes, but nothing to do with the detail they showed in the images of EVO...

[@Jim_AC]

From what I understood it’s procedural terrain generation, as opposed to fetching the terrain off the disk drive. I think he means streaming in this way, dynamically generating the terrain at runtime (locally).

[@papolo2001]

@@Jim_AC hope you are right, but streaming as far as I know means stream from one computer, the server, to other computer, the client. But maybe you are right and Marco meant that, dynamically generated inside our PC and “streamed” to the game engine inside our PC internally… but “streaming” does not mean that, plus the mention to not need a high end PC, stating he could run it in his laptop, plus the mention to the flight sims…. all point as far as I understood to MS flight simulator 2024 model, but I hope you are right man. Would be great if Michel could clarify this point with Marco.

[@zorrothebug]

In other words it is used as DirectStorage, so you have the complete asset on your hard disk (SSD) and only the needed portion where you are will be loaded (streamed) into memory. Marco explained that the map data is not on storage as a whole but in a very basic terrain information data and they compose terrain and objects (like the ED gas station) on the fly. This is why the user does not have to have a huge terabyte storage for the open world and a typical gamer PC will be enough.

Would be so cool if they use the original weatheroutlook to simulate the weather, temperature, clouds, sun, rain, wind and so on. This has so much potential its insane. This could become so big if they do it right, not only for us simdrivers, also for gamers. I wish them all the success, this is the idea of a sim i've been waiting for so long. Also the addon potential, with different events on weekends and so on, there are literally no limits.

Man I'm looking forward so much to AC Evo. Got the same progression vibes like AC og. Early Access with the game only getting better

[@kreutaa]

I hope they implement hard economy (I don't want to get a Lamborghini at the start for free) ... Since it's a simulation, so I would expect that fuel prices are real - cars are expensive - you have to "work" for yout momey and all that stuff to make the progression harder. Like world of warcraft, you don't can't buy a good mount because it is so expensive!

Forbidden random mechanical failures I can understand, they don't want to give the impression that their cars may randomly break down on the road. The collision damage thing I understand less. Do they really think that people think that a Ferrari won't be squashed in a high speed collision with a wall, just like any other car... reminds me of Apple who doesn't allow bad guys in movies to have an iPhone. Like really But Marco is right, it's not the fault of Kunos. If for example Ferrari says they don't allow it, it doesn't really matter if Lamborghini, BMW, Porsche says "Do whatever you like" you have to follow Ferrari's limitations on all cars. Or leave Ferraris out completely (Somehow I have a feeling it's Ferrari who is in the forefront of this... I could be wrong).

man those guys have it wrong on the whole licencing thing it's advertising not I.P. if a game got the latest model of cars in it can only contribute to sales I'm sure they've had a lot of sales from sim fans through the years stop talking to lawyers about getting the licences and start talking to the marketing teams they should be paying you to put their cars in the game man make stop asking for a licence start telling them if you want the cars in the game your welcome to ask us to do it if you want us practise your car/cars you can pay us to work on it it's there added value to have the cars in the game not your privilege your selling the influence of the game short if you ask anyone who plays it I'm sure on that. like if you agree see if they can understand the level of how the games influence our buying choices when it comes to what we loved in games as younger people and even now i like cars because i enjoyed driving them in a sim hit the like button to let them know

[@shredd5705]

He said there will be minimum 15 circuits by the end of early access. Within months of 1.0 release, they aim for 20 circuits, from all 5 continents. From what I understood, this is all "free" content, not even including DLC packs yet. Sounds to me like circuit is not forgotten. Also DLC packs aim for more complete classes now (so that there won't be cars without competitors on the grid, like in AC1). AI is still using the same physics as player, but trained with deep learning AI, so they can easily improve every car/track combination. Drivers will have personalities, one more aggressive etc.. plus they are collaborating with SimGrid for multiplayer. Safety rating system will be improved version of ACC rating. I don't see why racing focused people should be worried

[@SURG3NT]

@ thanks for that, I love all Assetto sims, the open world stuff is definitely a Kool idea, I just hoping we still get a good competitive side as it’s bread and butter, I’m sick to death of IRacing and really hope AC Evo delivers 🙏

@andreasmoller9798 idk. I disagree with this when it comes to sim racing but I guess they're going down a different path. I guess we don't have to worry about it replacing acc anytime soon. I know alot of people were worried about that. Multiplayer racing is what keeps alot of people coming back to the game. No mod support at launch and a few cars and no multiplayer. I dont mind waiting. I was just sharing my opinion. I'll definitely pick it up when they add multiplayer.

[@ResetandoOestado]

one thing that they have to know is that people are expecting the mods to be implemented in the game, i know that they can't just put some things because of bureaucracy, but they can just bypass... for exemple, make a deal with the moders for then to create the things that they as a Company can't, and they get behind the scenes the support from the company, create a super app like content manager that install everything that the game need but can't have hahaahha the mods sell the game, i will be frustrated if we dont have shutoko and the other's, also why not create a mod for demage but sell as a mod? the Company is to much in the good guy, do some business behind the scenes men, put some money in the hand of moders to do some things, or do in your company and sell as a mod that for sure was not done officially👀

[@ricardosanchez8852]

Again, no "confirmation" of a sandbox, freeplay mode. All they say is that you will be able to "rent" any car with "in game credits". This is not the same as a sandbox, this is "forcing" us to play or rent this car so I can use it.

[@andreasmoller9798]

We just have to wait and see, much more info will be coming before launch, i dont see a problem to be buying the cars, kunos deserve support for how much they listen to community, They have my money for sure, I understand some people wants a sandbox mode, kunos will proably include it, But you wont be able to. Customize your cars unless you buy them, We have to wait and see what they confirm, but i have not been this excited for a racing game in a long time

[@ricardosanchez8852]

@ uh me neither, and for sure I support them and have bought every doc for both acc and ac, dont mind paying for the content because it is top notch, but once I pay for them I want to be able to use the content without having to strategize if I have to use $ or anything to be aboe to enjoy the content. Just a free play, dont care about tuning or modding.

[@shredd5705]

You can't have both ways. Buying a Ferrari will not feel the same (like anything) if you can just drive that same Ferrari via a menu, with no limitations. This is lacking even from Forza Horizon, gaining all the hottest cars is way too easy. In Test Drive Unlimited it was much harder, and thus felt more rewarding once you got there Idea here is that renting doesn't allow you to customize cars, so ownership is always better. You have to have some barrier, otherwise the career mode becomes pointless 99% of AAA games out there are not "sandboxes". You have to complete the story to see the ending. Sandbox is not a game, sandbox is a sandbox. I know that in hardcore driving sim world sandbox is the expectation, unlike in any other game genre. But that's why sims often have 0 gameplay in them. You can't make a career mode without goals. And if all the best cars are in your menu anyway.... the beans are already spilled. Why race the circuits against AI, if the money won from there means nothing People want meaningful progression and single player gameplay.... but then they complain that you can't access everything at once. We can't have both. Feels like some people will want to complain, no matter what. Damned if you do, damned if you don't for Kunos. I'm sure that earning enough in-game money to get a car you like won't be that hard. You can appreciate the lower power cars too, Kunos puts the same detail into every car. If someone needs to get straight to the most powerful cars or they won't buy the game, are they really even petrol heads. Driving some unwanted car for a while will be a minor inconvenience.

[@ricardosanchez8852]

@ i get that but feel like the ones left behind are the ones that supported Kunos, by being a sandbox, and are catering to the audience they didnt have before.
