Assetto Corsa and Gran Turismo 6. Which one is better?

[π]

So hey Guys, I saw Assetto Corsa is on sale and I don't know what to do. Assetto Corsa is a great game (in my opinion), but there is one problem. I am trying really hard to save some money to buy Gran Turismo 6 and BOOM! My top wishlist (Assetto Corsa) is on sale! So, here's the question :

1. Assetto Corsa, is it worth it?
2. When Assetto Corsa will be full released?
3. Gran Turismo or Assetto Corsa? Why?
4. I don't have Wheel or XBOX 360 controller, does Assetto Corsa still fun to play with?

That all the question that I have. I appreciate all of you answer.
Thank you.

Assetto Corsa is a lot better its a full sim not a racing game like gt6

Check the other threads, there are in-deep comparisons between these two, you're likely to draw a clear picture of the game based on the info provided.

However, if you're planning to play it using a keyboard/kb+m, I'd say it's a no no.

1. yes, definitely. even for a non-enthusiast like me just racing laps in a cap is fun. the feel of the driving even with only a gamepad is like nothing ive played before.
2. i think this spring/early summer, so soon, but it seems like a game that will be getting constant updates. in a lot of ways it is already a polished product, the most obvious things lacking are graphics & the AI bumps you a lot.
3. idk, haven't played GT.
4. not sure but i kind of doubt it. even with a controller you get very fun feedback from the vibration. if you are a pretty major PC gamer, a pad is well worth the investment anyway just as a standard piece of gaming kit & you wont regret it. if you're big into racing sims i think you'd get a lot out of a wheel, especially from what everyone says with this game.

Could you give me the link? I did not know many people has ask it already.
What's wrong with the kb+mouse? Is that really bad?

Thank you Sir. But did you have ever tried play this game with kb? I can't afford gamepad for now. I play alot of racing games in console. Well, I have gamepad, but it's not 360 one so I doubt it will work on Assetto Corsa and the quality is really... well...

GT has more cars and tracks, but the cars and tracks that AC does have are much more realistic, and the driving physics and sounds are much more true to life. Cars in GT6 sound like vacuum cleaners.

GT is like a car collection game, AC is a true car simulation game.

Ah I see. Thank you, Sir!

I have tried many racing games, I have been playing the GT series since GT 1 and I am also a great fan of full sim racing games like GT legends and GTR 2.
That being said, I've been playing assetto corsa from a friend's PC for quiet a while now and I finally grabbed myself a copy.
This game is amazing, there is almost no comparison, it's more fun AND more realistic.
GT has more cars and tracks, but whenever you're playing it you never feel like "I should drive this car because it might be slightly different in that corner or track".
GT has a nice managing and RPG side which I like, but the driving side of the game (which should be 99% of it...) isn't as good as Assetto Corsa.
My opinion :)
Have a nice day

It depends on what you are after. GT6 is a finished game (somewhat) and therefore has a hell of a lot more content. AC is an unfinished game so is lacking a lot of features and there is no career mode or online competitions as yet. Having said that the driving is very realistic and if that is your number one priority over everything then AC is the better choice. But GT6 is very realistic when you use a wheel and switch all the assists off and provides a staunch challenge. Calling it an arcade game is ignorant nonsense (I tested a few cars that GT6 and AC have in common out of curiosity and the differences were quite minimal).*
My advice is to go with GT6 is you want the whole package then buy AC when the game is finished or close to release.

* The X-Bow handles like a total ♥♥♥♥♥ in both games as well.

Well, you're missing on analogue inputs for the throttle and braking, considering that these are more important then steerting, I'd say yes, it's bad. IIRC you can tweak the throttle response for digital inputs, but it's more of a convenience than something that makes much sense.

If it has analogue sticks and triggers you're all set, AC supports all xinput/dinput devices out of the box.

GT is for sunday casual noobs

What's GT?

Assetto corsa is everything you need.

I like grid or rolling starts, but with GT6 there are no mass starts only rolling and these with a large gap between cars, I found this tedious after a short while, and even though the track and car selection is much smaller in AC, I have not gone back to GT6 more than a couple of times since I bought AC, and when I did I found GT6 was less rewarding to play than AC and did not hold my attention for long..

They are different enough to make it a personal choice.

I haven't played GT6, or actually any GT since 2, I think (huge amount spent on the original though:), but I can safely and confidently say that AC is a better sim. :)

There is so much snobbery around racing sims, the truth is none of them are that realistic and have major downfalls, so there is not a single definitive, all down to personal preference.

Personally I think F1 2013 is the best racing game atm, I like F1 cars and no other game gets the feel right to what you see on TV. I've played some AC and my friend has who does a lot of track days, he wasn't impressed, said it feels nothing like the real thing. I've never raced a car (a motorcycle person) so I have to take his word for it, but my Mother said the same thing as she used to do some Rally and said it was crap and was bored quickly.

That isn't a dig on AC, it is at these so called sims in general. I remember seeing a video of Lewis Hamilton and this so called realistic PC sim (cannot remember the game) and he kept crashing and didn't seemed impressed either, to him it was nothing like racing in real life.


So I just think play the game you enjoy, they all have pluses and minuses, but none of them are like real life.
