It's impressive the amount of detail Assetto Corsa Competizione achieves, but this one is strictly for the diehards out there. The simulation even goes as far as the game audio, with sounds for the car's chassis and tyres all being separate volume sliders. Tire wear, temperature, and overall ability of the cars are affected by these track conditions. The weather effects are dynamic, with rain showers one lap and the sun breaking the clouds on the next lap. Even on its easiest, it's on par with other games' normal difficulty, so keep that in mind. Once the player feels comfortable with the game's system, only then does it up the ante. That's the beauty of Competizione, it lets you play on the easiest difficulty without penalizing you for it. While having experience with games like AC and even Project Cars, I knew it would be in my best interest to make the game as lenient as possible for my sake. In fact, it will punish you for even cutting a corner as warnings and penalties run amuck. Well, Competizione cuts no corners in letting its player base knows who leads pole position in competitive racing simulation. Again, in this game, it's all about competitive racing and playing your favorite teams over your favorite cars. It made me wonder if the same team was included on other non-Sony platforms. ![]() The Gran Turismo team is included in this game, however, which I felt was a nice touch. This isn't as bad as Nascar Ignition where there were only two brands, but don't expect a robust roster like Gran Turismo or Need for Speed. While each team has a different composition and build, at the end of the day, a Huracan is a Huracan. This brings the total down to the teens, yet makes up for it by having cars with different liveries and teams. In total there are only 27 cars with half being two or more makes of a different year. The Car Selection Suffers The Same Fateįrom here we reach the territory of other competitive racing games, where the car selection isn't as highlighted as much as the teams themselves. That's like having a Street Fighter game and locking Ryu and Ken behind a paywall. Famous European tracks including the Nurburgring GP course, Monsa, and Spa are included yet some of the most famous courses like Suzuka and Laguna Seca are locked behind DLC. This is a major reason why it's difficult for me to recommend Assetto Corsa Competizione as fans of car racing will not be impressed by the lack of courses. All it adds is a new season with new races that reflects major events of the season. Players who purchase the Day One version will receive the 2020 season plus its included cars for that season for free. As such, its drivers, cars, and courses all reflect the 20 seasons. ![]() Assetto Corsa Competizione - PS5 Direct Capture For The Undeterred, Assetto Corsa May Have Something To OfferĬompetizione, as opposed to the original Assetto Corsa, focuses more on GT championships, specifically the GT3 Challenge. ![]() Cars behave as close to their real counterparts as possible. There is no story with witty commentators, no car customization, and no rewind features. Packed racing, overtakes, and the occasional wreck is the name of the game. The intro video shows off everything the player will encounter during their time with Competizione. The Assetto Corsa series is meant for sports racing fanatics and is not meant for "driving" or even "car" enthusiasts. The release of the next-gen upgrade for Assetto Corsa Competizione certainly paints this picture, yet the original has always served a specific niche within the genre. ![]() With Gran Turismo 7 and Grid Legends around the corner, it feels like the perfect time for Kunos Simulazioni to get a piece of the driving pie. Racing games are expected to see a growth in their player base within the next couple of days thanks to heavy hitters Gran Turismo and Grid. Available as: Digital and Physical Assetto Corsa - The Real Racing Simulator?
