Judging by the fact that a game, based on Blancpain, was one of the things being speculated about and the way people were being negative towards GT3, I'd say the official Kunos forums are probably buried in salt by now. I'm happy myself.

Codemasters has F1 and now Kunos has GT3.Dare I use (again) the word "exclusive"?
No matter how we look at it,its impressive if we think how "small" KUNOS is compared to other "game" developers.
I also have this wierd feeling that its gonna be similar with iRacing in terms of online play.Dare I say driver changes online?I also have another feeling that this is going to be PC only title btw.

Considering we've been promised a GTR3 for what feels like a century this is very welcome news. Sims concentrating on just the one series in theory should be much tighter and polished as well
I thought MXGP3 was a serious game
especially in helmet cam! 👍I will pick this new game up as I enjoyed AC and I like the GT3 sector in racing and this will more than likely have a new replay&photomode

GT3 =/= Blancpain
Kunos has a licensing partnership with the series, which may or may not be exclusive, but it doesn't cover all of the other GT3-based series out there.
It is. Though the Porsche licensing in 2016 should've already pushed people to consider the clout Kunos carries with the automotive industry.
This isn't the first time this sort of thing has happened, either. Not to take away from Kunos' deal in any way, but SimBin had GTR, with the FIA GT license.
My guess is we'll see more and more of this in the future, as each real-world series wants to target the gaming landscape. GT has the general over-arching FIA partnership; Forza has Formula E and IMSA; PCARS2 has PWC and Rallycross; F1 has, uh, F1... you get the idea.
If it is similar to iRacing online, it's probably because that system largely works. 👍

I predicted it would be e-sports and we got e-sports.
Anyways, if there’s no PS4 version I’m not interested.

I also think that Kunos enjoys a big deal of appreciation within the automotive industry when it comes for them to video games. After all: I know of no other racing game that officially features the latest bombs such as the Performante and the 812 Superfast. Not even the big one, Forza Motorsport.

Well they do actually enjoy that apprecation since they are not just "game" developers.

Unreal engine is great choice they pick, it easier and free to user tool to make for anyone on pc. Plus the fee reasonable to Dev they don't have pay the fee for certain range of money if they don't range the goal.

Sooo, I’m not really gaming/tech/engine etc savvy guy but is UE4 just for graphics, or it’s responsible for driving dynamics as well? If it’s the latter, can they easily replicate driving/FFB the original AC had? Again, sorry for not being well informed
Waiting for PS4 release anyway

Interesting bit from Marco:
“This announcement represents a dream come true for us. The Blancpain GT Series license is just the tip of the iceberg. By combining the potential of Unreal Engine 4 and the feedback received from our community, we are producing a completely new simulation aimed to redefine the racing game genre, improving the features that made Assetto Corsa so popular, and introducing those demanded by players for a high-level racing simulation game - with no compromise, and remaining loyal to our philosophy."
The "just the tip of the iceberg" bit I mean.

I'd say 0:31 in that trailer tells us yes. Hopefully they will work out VR for consoles this go-round as well.
Maybe, if they don't like money or happy customers. I can't imagine any reason why they wouldn't grab console ASAP given their major team expansion. Sony would love to have another solid VR game to move a few units, too.
Interesting stuff for sure. And the last bit makes me happy.Interesting bit from Marco:
