Pop ups in the background scenery are occasionally eye catching and can be distracting at times. The level of realism is just not the same, even though the track elevation changes are probably more accurate.
But I’m not sure if that’s a game issue or perhaps a Thrustmaster issue as I’ve experienced this on other games as well.įrom a visual stand point Assetto takes a backseat to the likes of the Forza Motorsport titles. The biggest downside I’ve noticed using a wheel is having to reset my settings as on occasion they revert back to default. The wheel response is smooth and natural feeling. I’m using a Thrustmaster TMX wheel with the T3PA pedal set and I must say that it is the most accurate feeling game I’ve played to date. Now, if you are fortunate enough to own a racing wheel or are planning on picking one up then Assetto Corsa Competizione is a must play title. I may need to get one of those just to see how that handles on Assetto, because it clearly was designed with wheel users in mind. Now, I’ve seen some devices that clip on to your controller that basically let you steer as if it’s an RC car. On a standard controller, with the shorter thumbsticks, no matter how hard I tried I couldn’t make it around Monza without spinning out on every other corner. I still couldn’t put in any lap times to brag about, but at least I was able to get around the course cleanly. Using an Elite controller with the longer thumbsticks and the gears mapped to the paddles on the back helps immensely. The physics of the game are just so realistic that it makes playing on a controller nearly impossible without messing about with the options. For me the default controls are way too sensitive and the default configuration is not as intuitive as with other racing titles. Yes it is possible to play Assetto Corsa Competizione using a gamepad, so long as you are willing to spend some time in the settings menu. If a controller is what you’ll be playing with then this is where the red flags start to go up. And there is definitely not an arcade-like feel on a controller that you would find on games like Forza.
You won’t find any Formula 1’s or American Muscle cars here. With all that being said, I want to point out that Assetto Corsa Competizione is a racing simulator – GT3‘s specifically. Actually it probably would be fair to give two separate scores for both wheel users and controller users because the difference is that drastic. On the other hand, some of its faults are glaringly bad.Īs I’m testing this on both a wheel and controller, it may come across as two separate reviews. The things it does well are really, really done well. Assetto Corsa Competizione what can I say except that I have a love/hate relationship with this game.
