    Assetto Corsa is a good game. Great, in fact. The problem I've faced with it, however is that the controller bindings cannot be changed to my liking, making the game pretty much unplayable for me.

    I have a hard time understanding what a majority of the other reviewers are talking about in regards to the handling of the game or why a majority of racing "simulators" insist on having even the most powerful rear wheel drive cars incessantly understeer. While the game certainly looks beautiful, the huge amounts of body roll make supercars feel like you are driving your grandfathersI have a hard time understanding what a majority of the other reviewers are talking about in regards to the handling of the game or why a majority of racing "simulators" insist on having even the most powerful rear wheel drive cars incessantly understeer. While the game certainly looks beautiful, the huge amounts of body roll make supercars feel like you are driving your grandfathers buick and the squeal of the front tires plowing through every corner even with traction control completely disabled makes the game virtually unplayable. Anyone who has ever driven even a moderately fast rear wheel drive car knows that this is simply not how cars behave and to call this game a simulation is disingenuous. The game is lacking on virtually every front aside from ascetics which I would be more than happy to overlook if the driving mechanics were better. I do want to stress that I am in no way looking for an arcade racer, rather a simulation that actually simulates true to life driving mechanics and not another racing game that makes the fastest cars in the world feel slow, soft, under powered, and most importantly suffering from unbearable understeer.… Expand

    Missing content that is normally standard for a racing game, incomplete features, bugs and texture as well as shadow flickering are the reasons why prolonged fun is difficult to come by in this game and why I can't recommend it as of now (v1.04). By my mind this game is as of v1.04 in in a beta state and should not have been released like this.

By my mind this game is as of v1.04 in in a beta state and should not have been released like this.

    In Detail:
    I expect from a racing game that advertises fully featured single player modes at least one thing and that is that I will be able to race against AI opponents with a field of at least 20 cars that are of the same racing league and where every single car has its own livery. However, this is as of v1.04 not the case in Assetto Corsa!

    Further, some of the skins that come with the game are very basic like the ones for the RUF Porsche or the Fiat 500 Abarth. They do not have any numbers on them or stickers, nothing, just plain single- or bi- colored paintjobs. Makes it difficult to drive in a pack of say 20 and differentiate who is who without turning on hovering driver names over the cars.

    Besides those missing basic features this game has other serious problems with flickering shadows and moiré effects on the guard-rails. Unfortunately no configuration settings so far could fix it and the devs do seem to ignore the issue on the official forums so there is no help for it there either. By the way I am playing on a GTX 970.

    Other problems are related to performance issues specifically the game displaying a warning about the CPU occupation above 95% but when I check the performance records in the Windows 7 Resource Monitor I can see that my CPU shows just 50% usage. Again no help in the official forums could be found even though several threads for the issue exist.

    On top of that a lot of small bugs are very annoying like brake bias that sometimes will not adjust when I press the button for it or the game crashing when I try to assign a function to the ^-key on my keyboard and so on.

    So as of now the fun, even so it sometimes is there when the game works for some time as one would expect and if you averlook the shortcomings in content, goes away very fast because of the small anoyances that in the sum are just to much to keep it going.    … Expand

    Shallow low content game. MP is a joke, it doesn't work properly, servers are passworded or empty. AI is very dumb and is not aware of you, just going their line. No leaderboards. This game is good only for hotlapping, but for how long you will play alone, without AI, friends and even without the leaderboards?

    Soulless, no sensation of speed and acceleration. 'Everyday cars' feels like boats, F1 has no acceleration at all.
    Very disappointed. A simulation shouldn't be lifeless.

    Hosting a server requires a degree in coding. Bought to play with friends but non of us went to university. 1 Point for singleplayer as I bought it only for multiplayer.

    - Unplayable without an expensive steering wheel.
    - I tried to play with a xbox one controller but it was constantly vibrating, maybe to mimic the vibrations of the engine. I had to turn vibrations off completely, having then no force feedback at all.
    - Doesn't look very good. - Lack of content. - On PC, can't be used with only a controller, you still need mouse and keyboard close to    - Unplayable without an expensive steering wheel.

    31 août 2016 : Assetto Corsa est sorti sur les consoles PS4 et Xbox One et le bilan à la fois technique et ludique s'avère apparemment assez misérable : tearing à gogo, ralentissements, saccades et maniabilité à la manette déplorable. Il faudra sans doute 2 à 3 ans de patchs (comme sur PC) pour espérer un jeu vraiment fini.

Il faudra sans doute 2 à 3 ans de patchs (comme sur PC) pour espérer un jeu vraiment fini.

    Du coup, je l'ai relancé sur PC : on en est à la version 1.8 et mis à part les circuits, le nombre de voitures est toujours aussi rachitique... par contre, les DLC payants, eux, sont légion ! même pour le Nürb, faut encore payer !

    Je note selon les voitures quelque amélioration de la gestion de la motricité mais aussi l'apparition de nouveaux bugs concernant la conduite : si tout fonctionnait avec mon vieux G25, c'est carrément la merde avec mon G920 : AC s'évertue à garder les 900° quoi que je fasse et exige le shifter pour passer les vitesses correctement ; avec les palettes en manuel il bloque le pont arrière à chaque changement de rapport, chose qu'il ne fait pas en automatique. Je baisse la note de ce nid à bugs à 4.

    16 septembre 2015 : j'ai relancé l'Assetto, car dernièrement on a eu droit à un nouveau circuit et quelques voitures... gratuitement ! encore heureux, car le DLC à 15 balles reste un peu en travers de la gorge pour ceux qui ont raqué du temps de l'accès anticipé : ce DLC aurait dû en effet être offert.

    Ce n'est pas la seule raison évidemment : d'une, AC bénéficie d'un suivi permanent, de deux, Forza Motorsport 6 est sorti et il est intéressant de les comparer à armes égales, c'est-à-dire à la manette. Comme je l'explique plus bas, le feedback au volant d'AC est l'un des meilleurs, ce qui ne masque pas pour autant ses problèmes de simulation du comportement mais les atténue sensiblement.

    Mais à la manette, c'est une tout autre histoire, assez vilaine celle-là : AC s'avère hélas extrêmement décevant à cet égard et se signale par son imprécision, son flou et son absence d'informations, tout le contraire de FM6 qui s'est encore amélioré de ce côté là ! du coup le pilotage devient trop aléatoire, exacerbant encore les défauts de cette simulation si perfectible. Je baisse par conséquent la note à 5, le volant étant obligatoire.

    20 octobre 2014 : j'édite ma critique, car le jeu est quasiment fini... il est passé en release candidate, ce qui signifie qu'on a enfin une carrière ! niveau contenu, ça s'est sensiblement amélioré avec quelques circuits et bagnoles supplémentaires... même si ça reste mince.

    Graphiquement il est toujours loin d'être aussi beau qu'un Forza 5 (la référence en la matière certes) mais n'en reste pas moins correct. Les sons restent corrects également bien que largement en deçà de ce que l'on peut attendre. La carrière est fort présentable avec entre autres une intéressante gestion des contre-la-montre ; on apprécie de même une IA plutôt bien élevée dans les courses.

    Côté pilotage, ça évolue dans le bon sens mais la modélisation du comportement laisse encore beaucoup à désirer et fait penser dans une certaine mesure à Gran Turismo 6, ce qui n'est pas vraiment un compliment... mais pas un drame non plus : le sous-virage est géré bizzarement alors que le survirage ne prend pas en compte l'autobloquant. Le pire se situe du côté des tractions totalement insensibles au lever de pied. Tout cela doit être travaillé et peaufiné.

    Cependant, la gestion du feedback au volant est d'une très grande précision et fait remonter de nombreuses informations permettant de mieux cerner la voiture, ce qui rend la conduite assez précise à défaut de gratifiante. Les sensations sont bien présentes et les nombreux paramètres disponibles permettent de personnaliser l'expérience. En l'état, il reste tout de même beaucoup de travail pour réaliser un jeu de caisses au moins aussi valable (au volant) que les Forza 4 ou 5.    … Expand

    Despite some thorns in the AC racing rose bouquet, Kunos has created an auto game that is definitely worth taking for a spin.
