Assetto Corsa on Sale for 50% Off at Steam

Steam has several sales going on right now and one of them is Asstto Corsa, which you can put up for 50% Off – $19.99. I thought the game was a good deal at $23 when I bought my copy and now the price is even lower. The game is still in Early Access, but it’s constantly changing, evolving and upgrading. At first it was just one car and one track. Now, we have multiple tracks and dozens of cars. And those cars look amazing! From the notes on the latest update it looks like there’s now fuel consumption, tire damage, car damage, improved controller support, adjusted traction and loads of other features. I really need to get back behind the wheel and practice my braking and turning. I think this will be an amazing game when it’s done. The AI cars are going to give us a run for our money in this game. This is going to be […]

Some More Laps of Assetto Corsa in the Fiat 500

Since there was an update to Assetto Corsa I decided to take it for another spin around the track to see how I faired. This time I jumped behind the wheel of the Fiat 500 Arbath Edition and did my best to keep up with the pack and not send myself sailing off into the ditch. It didn’t all go according to plan. I still have some serious issues with cornering and braking. I can’t seem to get around the turns correctly and the amount of tire squeal is just about deafening. Even the Fiat, with it’s light weight and what I assume is pretty good handling, has no grip in the corners. It slides like it’s on the ice and I have to damn near come to a complete stop in order to make the turn. This just doesn’t seem right to me. Am  doing something wrong here? I’m just not used to being so delicated with a car […]

My first day on the track with Assetto Corsa

I finally got a chance to get behind the wheel of Assetto Corsa and while the game looks beautiful, I had some serious steering issues. To be honest, it was damn near impossible to get around corners. I would try to turn and would just keep going straight and slide right off the track and in several cases plowed right into the wall. Something seems really off with the steering. I’m obviously versed at driving and have no problems negotiation corners in Need for Speed, Dirt, Grid and every other game I’ve played, but for the life of me I couldn’t get this damn car to corner. What the hell am I doing wrong? I’m using the Xbox controller, which I use in all the other games and it works fine, but it just isn’t working. Anyone else have this same sort of problem? Is this a problem with the controller or perhaps a config setting? I know the game […]

Save 33% on Assetto Corsa on Steam – $26.65

Another Early Access game is on sale at Steam. Assetto Corsa gets a nice 33% discount and drops to $26.65. I’ve been waiting for another sale on this game. I didn’t get a copy the last time aroud simply because there wasn’t enough content in the game to justify the cost. At the time $29.95 got you a single car and a single track. Plus the game was incredibly limited. Even though it was Early Access, the cost didn’t justify the end result. But things have changed. Assetto Corsa has been massively updated since then with dozens of new cars and plenty of tracks. It’s still early days, but I’ve watched a lot of videos and this game is looking spectacular. The graphics are already impressive, the driving AI is coming along nicely and overall it looks very playable. There are some glitches here and there, but that’s to be expected – it’s still under development. I just grabbed my […]
