    Can never have enough beamers… but what’s this about DLC?

  • Big Ron

    They are everywhere with the same cars.

    No 3.0 CSL “Batmobile”?

    They talked about DLC some time ago

    I’m all for it. The days of a game being abandoned by its developer after release are over.

    WOW, impressive!!

    The visuals are impressive and this BMW lineup is great!

    I’m just so exited about what is potentially the most realistic road car simulation the PC has ever seen! Recently we have been spoiled with a handful of very good racing sim’s but there has never been a true “hardcore” simulation of road cars!

    AC has an excellent race and road car lineup and they look stunning, what we heard and seen about physics it should be top notch!

    End Q1 is SOOOOOO CLOSE!!! But seeing this kind of content makes it feels like ages away!! :-)

    I love DLC setup, that keeps the sim fresh with new content and keeps you comming back to try out new content!

    Hopefully they charge for DLC as well at a reasonable level so they get the motivation to keep adding this level of quality cars for a long time based on what the community wants the most! If they charge for it they could pay for more licenses as well! Id love to see the McLaren F1 road car in here!! (and the new P1 as DLC once the real car is out!). A complete DRM setup of classic race cars would be awesome as well!

    If it drives as good as it looks, I wouldn’t want to be a dev/publisher competing with this title.

    Why, oh why, KS?!

    Why do you keep posting low detail shots, you can’t tell us this is all you can do, we have seen much better shots. I can not understand how bad screenshots should support your marketing efforts. Almost all shots with the M3 GT2 are low poly, low detail with washed out AA textures paired with missing or not fitting lightning. The first screen (01.jpg) is even as bad as rF2.
    Come on, KS. Don’t let us down!

    I’m not too fussed about BMW (except they make incredible engine noises!) I’m just overjoyed to see a suitable line-up of race spec AND road going vehicles as standard content. If only ISI could show some love for the humble road car.

    Is the 1M the 1M because otherwise it’d be the M1?

    Exactly, but I’m glad they have not chosen for the subscription model as well.

    Yep, they did not want to name it like their old supercar.
