Tearing oneself away from content this endearing – even when accounting for unfortunate circumstances – is no easy task, and it should come as no surprise that Kunos Simulazioni has once again delivered in a big way with Dream Pack 3.
Shown earlier today, Kunos has pulled the cover off one of the stars in the upcoming Dream Pack 3, the Ford Escort RS 1600. Born from a partnership between Ford and Lotus in the late 60’s, the Escort was powered by a 1.6L Cosworth BDA Inline-4 which drove it to a number of rally and GT race victories.
Earlier this year, Kunos Simulazioni confirmed work was being done to bring “the best circuit in the world”, Brands Hatch, to Assetto Corsa. Kunos have confirmed that Brands Hatch will be coming to the game alongside seven new rides in Dream Pack 3 due on December 15th.
When we first learned that developer Kunos Simulazioni would be bringing the highly-praised PC simulator Assetto Corsa to consoles in 2016 the very first question many expressed was “Are the physics going to be affected?”. That question was soon answered by Marco Massarutto, Licensing Project Manager at Kunos Simulazioni, exclaiming that the games physics would be given first priority and that the game had the same feelings, dynamism and force feedback of the PC version.
Kunos Simulazioni have revealed on the offiicial Assetto Corsa Facebook page that new content is on the way to the game. That content, pictured above, is the Audi R8 V10 Plus and unlike its GT3 class brethren that was introduced in last month’s Dream Pack 2 expansion, the R8 V10 Plus will be made available to everyone as free bonus content.
As teased earlier last month, Assetto Corsa’s ‘Dream Pack 2’ DLC will introduce nine brand-new vehicles to the game as well as a laser-scanned version of Circuit de Catalunya, home of the Spanish Formula One Grand Prix. The cars included in Dream Pack 2 are as follows:
For the past several weeks Marco Massarutto, Licensing Project Manager at Kunos Simulazioni, has been teasing the contents of the upcoming Dream Pack 2 DLC that’s due later this month, and what we know thus far is that the pack will contain 10 brand-new cars and Circuit de Catalunya.
Marco Massarutto, Licensing Project Manager at Kunos Simulazioni, revealed today on his Facebook page that BMW’s M4 coupe is on the way to Assetto Corsa. This revelation comes after a test drive Massarutto had in the M4 at Vallelunga Circuit last year – a circuit home to Kunos as they occupy a pit garage outfitted as an office – and would inquire about licensing the car for inclusion in the game.
As announced earlier last month, Assetto Corsa will be making the transition to the current generation consoles in 2016 and Inside Sim Racing’s Darin Gangi brings us the first look of the progress being made with the new user interface coming to consoles and PC.
Kunos Simulazioni has confirmed the content of the upcoming bonus pack DLC that will be made available at no additional charge, and will include five brand new cars as well as a new circuit – Circuit Park Zandvoort.
Following hot in the heels of the news that Assetto Corsa will be coming to the PS4 and XBox One in 2016, Eurogamer Italy have interviewed Marco Massarutto from Kunos Simulazioni, the studio behind the highly praised PC sim.
Assetto Corsa – the highly-praised PC racing simulator – is coming to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in 2016. The news was announced earlier today by AC’s Italian-based development team, Kunos Simulazioni, and their new publishing partner, 505 Games.
