It's Crunch Time for Le Mans Ultimate.

[@NiederDrifts]

Livery’s by specific race has to be one of the smallest details that I love so much honestly! That opens up such a fun thing for saving liveries in history through a video game. As someone who loves liveries a ton, that’s just so fun!

[@TraxionGG]

Preserves that little extra bit of history :)

[@fza6159]

I had a gasp of joy when I saw that. Amazing attention to detail!

[@5ch4cht3l7]

This is one of the great things about this game. You can really see they want to give the player the complete WEC experience without skipping any detail. Lazy development would've just added the base liveries and maybe an editor, but now we have all liveries ever used available in great quality Lazy development also would've just skipped over the isotta frascini I hope Studio 397 continues this. If the 2025 season has no new tracks and just a few new cars, these could be added for free And if they have the capacity for new cars and tracks, an IMSA 2025 pack would be great and nicely complement the current content

[@dariodegennaro5468]

I doubt the 2025 liveries / cars will be free considering what they are doing with this game now that it is still Early Access. About the IMSA, I doubt that is a possibility because that license belongs to Automobilista 2… so I think they won’t be allowed to do it.

[@fza6159]

@@dariodegennaro5468 We've had the 2024 liveries for free, I don't see why it wouldn't be the case for 2025. The only new car in the forseeable future is the Aston Valkyrie and I don't see why it should be for free. A present for early access purchasers would be neat but I won't hold my breath

LMU is a fantastic feeling sim, and I hope they continue to make improvements, I am also really wanting those GT3s, and a good championship mode, and maybe at some point a private server for co-op racing against the AI... I mean, there are thousands of things they could do, I just hope for a strong future for this sim.

[@MUCKLEECH]

I played for a few hours back on the last update, and I really think it's going to be great, but I'm frustrated too. It's clearly an unfinished game, so they should NOT be releasing paid DLC yet. It feels like we are paying for puzzle pieces to complete the game, and DLC shouldn't be that way. They need to finish the game, make it complete with all the current tracks and cars, release the game at full retail price with all the content. Then later on down the road add DLC packs for players that want more. DLC should be EXTRA content like classic tracks and cars, maybe even some what-if future stuff from companies that aren't in WEC (yet).

[@Yesterzine]

And this is the thing, we know this is likely to launch around LeMans 2025. So they're clearly going to have to bundle the current season pass because surely they're not going to be stood there at Le Mans 2025 launching a game that, without DLC, won't have GT3.

[@birddoggw218]

Honestly coming from 20+ years of sim racing i would donate a lot of money to see this project pan out. The coop mode is a brilliant idea, I just hope it don't turn out like rfactor. I don't hate iracing but i'm kinda sick of it, was beta testing iracing wayyyyy back in 08 i just want new sim racing games, good ones. I have not been this excited about a sim since gtr2. They need a donate button, what's a couple hundred bucks compared to our rigs or hell even just my pedals or 1000s in iracing content..

[@derekmccord3798]

I don't have a problem throwing these guys $13 for some new content. I would rather do that to a small company then a bigger conglomerate like EA. I would not be surprised if they expanded to ELMS and ALMS series.

[@TraxionGG]

Would be awesome to see!

[@LoneWolf2k4]

I absolutely love Le Mans Ultimate as an experience. I haven't experienced any major discouraging problems since its launch. For me it's mostly the lack of features, that are slowly coming online with each build. It's definitely a bit of a gamble going in on any early access game as development teams sometimes stagnate or fold altogether. The Motorsports Games debacle added a bit of skepticism on a purchase, but to see the development team step up with videos explaining their goals and such a comprehensive survey gives me confidence that 397 isn't about to let that bad press change their vision. I can't say that this will be the next Iracing, but I do see a bright future for this sim as long as the communication keeps flowing and that 397 continues to deliver as promised. I can say that for me, even in early access, it has been a better launch that WRC23 (which has improved but was broken in a lot of ways at launch). I think more development teams have stopped using Publisher goals as the metric in which to launch their product. They are not aiming for launches that coincide with the current season or other marketing goals. These dev teams truly want to build a simulation to be proud of. I would rather, within reason, piecemeal this sim as it grows than repeatedly pay $60 for a seasonal dumpster fire. I will continue to support LMU as long as the team continues to show us support for LMU.

[@jairjanga385]

I think even in early acces this is the most exciting sim for me out there. What you get for the eatly acces price is pretty good.

[@EhPlusSimRacing]

IMSA in LMU... While it would be a welcome addition in my opinion, i don't think it will be added to LMU. But the European Le Mans Series, and the Asian Le Mans Series could be added and fit perfectly to the theme of the sim, as well as the American Le Mans Series as historic content.

[@mrbismarck]

You could do the shared save "co-op" mode in ACC - I did a couple 24 hour Spa races with a friend sending the save file back and forth. You could also do "continue from replay" in rF2, so theoretically you could do the same thing there, although I didn't try that.

6:26 I was wondering where Isotta Fraschini have been the past two WEC races and now I know! Hopefully they come back next year, who doesn't love an underdog story after all? That aside, I really hope this game turns out to be good. 🤞 If LMU is the real deal and it comes to console I think I will finally get a PS5. Besides the EA WRC game I've had almost zero interest in getting a PS5 thus far but LMU might sway me if it delivers!

[@Noukz37]

I felt for a while now that the pre-releases and betas shouldn't be given over for public reviews, but it seems every company is doing that nowadays. Is it for hype or for gaining feedback? But regardless, this was an expertly done review John, as always!

[@SlightlyMisunderstood]

Great video and well summarised. Very good core driving experience but so many things missing and questionable at best. The constant DLC and minimal base content for an early access game is seriously suspect. And the lack of a championship mode for the world endurance championship game is again baffling.

[@murfenator82]

I would generally agree that S397/MSG has a weird way of doing things. They also have a track record of not completing titles very well. I will say that I think LMU is on a good path, but they need to be vigilant making sure they get as much in the game by the end of 2024 as possible. VR works really well in the beta state. Its obvious they just got the menus working well enough to implement the rF2 type support.

Thanks for raising the DLC on early access issue. It is still in beta but hey let’s charge for DLC! I think they have pounced on the significant early uptake and all of this dlc was part of the initial full release which they have chosen to add as dlc.

I totally understand that development costs of a game like this, with these new cool features, are probably through the roof already. But, from a customer’s point of view, I think that they’re asking too much for an unfinished game / demo / early access or whatever they call it. This is a game and a dev team officially supported by the WEC (and probably FIA as well)…and I think that they should invest more, and ask us less. That is until the game is not sorted out..I mean, by playing, we’re beta testing for them. Asking a full game price for helping them out with development seems a bit of strech.

Helo good sir. I have a question. I like my t300 very much but there is one thing that kills the fun. I Play PS5 GT7 and i cant set the degrees on steering wheel it always gets reseted by the game. That's not much of a problem because you can set the controller sensitivity in the game. What problem is for me is that when i turn max to left or right there is no telling if i overturned to deadzone say if car has 180° and i turn the wheel 270° there is no stoper to say you reached steering limit. Is that the same with this new dd wheel base? If yes then that's a huge deal breaker for me. Can you make a video on this. Thanks

[@TraxionGG]

Hi there! Definitely not, there are all sorts of options with the majority of direct drive bases to change how the rotation works. You can set your own hard-stops in the software that match the rotation of the wheel, or it can be left to the game you are playing. I can actually point you towards a video that would help show this! It's a video I (John) did on the Race Anywhere KZbin channel earlier this year, in this video I was using Simagic but the same sort of options will be available with most direct drive bases :) Here is the video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHjCiICDf8uCr5osi=_AoM-UgTrDezJbA4

I've tried +VR and I've done the copy label one vr, go into properties, change to +vr and every time it says vr failed to launch. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. I'm dying to get in vr on this game.

The problem with having IMSA is that the license to that series is not owned by motorsport games, but iracing, hence the influx of hypercars being added to that game. I think it's more likely that they would release historic seasons/ variations of tracks with some older cars, or do the feeder series (ELMS, ALMS, etc) featuring the tracks and liveries. I personally think that all content released in early access should be free, past the price of the game itself, as early access should be a time for preparing a game for launch, by filling it with free, quality content so then you can entice more people to buy your dlcs post launch, as they are aware of the quality and want to buy into that. By having nearly half the tracks in the game at release locked behind a £30-£50 pay wall (it's going to increase with more dlcs they release), it could turn a lot of potential customers away. But other than that, the game looks fab, and I hope they do the full PC launch alongside console!

It feels like the end user is paying for their bankrupcy or whatever happened last year. It's in an embrionary state while asking for fully developed game state DLC's. The season pass is for added things but if they call it LMU it should start with the full calendar with the complete pack of cars. Imagine F124 being sold as DLC as the season goes. The product is good on track. Anywhere else, not so much.

Refunded this game. Way too expensive given the current performance. It took minutes to load a race, and was practically unplayable on my 3070. I think Steam registered around an hour of playtime and only 5 of that was actually racing, the rest was loading and multiple crashes. I can't comment on the actual racing but a very disappointing experience. Not to mention the DLC... Needs another year of cooking IMO

[@ChristIceman]

Paid DLC in early access is kinda stupid honestly because not only are you forcing people to buy the game you have to get the DLC or season pass which almost double the price of the game and it is still in EA. it will kill the game in the long run

I really want to buy this game but the fact it's early access with shallow content to begin with & they're already nickel & diming us for more content just leaves a nasty taste in my mouth.

I like LMU but the DLCs are not worth it. IMOLA never shows up online and absolutely no one wants to race COTA ever. I have a feeling the game dies when they launch their subscription service. The game has 4 tracks that anyone wants to use.

[@NevilX]

Saving outside of pits is stupid and you should feel stupid for suggesting that.

[@rossjmcgregor]

Explain.

[@NevilX]

First: input behaviour. What happens when you save when wheel is turned 90 deg. left and load while holding 90deg. right? This could be somewhat mitigated by smoothing the difference but still... is silly. And second thing... that's a "rewind" from GRID with extra steps. This has no place in a sim.

They can do what they want but the game has the wrong engine and it will always be a failure

Isotta was failure. Change my mind.

[@AllardWolff]

Thats extremely narrowminded holy. They're a brand new, boutique team. They had very inexperienced drivers, but the car was reliable. If they had drivers at the level of Toyota or Porsche, they wouldve been 1-2% faster per lap, which would put them in the top 10. Setups were rarely changed as they prioritized making the rookie drivers comfortable in the car.

[@CameronMcMillan22]

They finished ahead of some of the big names on their first try- that is not nothing.

[@Yesterzine]

As long as Vanwall/ByKolles existed, Isotta wasn't a failure. They finished LeMans on their first try for instance. Look up how the ByKolles team did in about 10 attempts.
