GT6 vs. Assetto Corsa – Silverstone Comparison

AdrianF1ESP has put together a neat comparison of Gran Turismo 6 & Assetto Corsa.

Both titles were released yesterday with the newest Assetto Corsa update introducing the Silverstone Grand Prix layout. The video shows a lap at Silverstone in both titles using the KTM X-Bow.

Can AC keep up with the console heavyweight? Does GT6 compare well to AC’s physics? Check it out for yourself below!

Assetto Corsa makes GT6 look like a Simcade.

AC is still in beta the game is getting regular updates. Few days back they added more cars, overall its going to be a solid sim, with full customization and mod support, already tons of custom skins out for cars.

You can see the list of recent added cars at :

apart from sound, something GT6 will have with a future update, what exactly is impressive here? Corsa running on PC, a game released in 2014 for modern day PC, or game running on a ps3, that will have a thousand more cars than Corsa, and double the amount of tracks?

What is impressive here?

PC elitists gripping on sound? thats impressive?

GT6 runs on a ps3 at 1080p and 60fps, with over 1200 cars, almost 40 tracks, rally, nascar, f1, and trillion other things.

That is impressive.

@Grizzli

Its not just the sound, AC outclasses GT6 in just about every category be it Physics, Graphics. Next to AC, GT6 is arcadish made for the masses.

The only area GT6 would win would be content. Give it time, AC is still in beta. AC has full mod support with thousands of modders behind it, content will be the last thing that will be in shortage.

Its amazing what a modding community can do for a game, just check out what happened with Skyrim.

[GrizzliS1987]

let me get this straight, a small almost indie developer has the resources and education to compete with a billion dollar company that develops GT6 physics?...

@reynod

GT6 is arcadish compared to AC? What are you smoking? GT6 is not arcadish compared to anything! An arcade racing game can't make you into a real racer - something no other racing game has managed! I would love to see AC try to top THAT!

And you really think modders are going to make AC any better? The most they can do is add custom cars, paint jobs or aesthetic touch here and there but the driving and physic itself, not so much! Modders are most of the time just bunch of programmers, not real racers!

[Rzep]

GT6 is arcadish. Hell just about every game from SimBin is a better sim than GT.

[Sarcasm]

A modern day PC game vs 8 year old hardware.

Not surprised.

But you look at the content of both games, AC has like 17 cars and 9 tracks.

[T900]

Easily runs on modest PC hardware.

Quality over quantity. Just hear the sounds on those cars they sound dam real. Most of the cars on GT6 sound the same.

AC looks amazing. Project Cars looks like the only challenger on the horizon.

[Lon3wolf]

The video was 100% about the sound, hence why the sound was moved from PC to PS3 all the way through. Guys (Grizzlis1987 too)you need to chill if it was about the graphics then they needed no sound at all.

[doublebass2]

newsflash:its because it is a sim-cade,just as forza!

[edgeofsins]

1. Assetto Corsa in this video has almost the exact same results for this car which they have more focus on because of their lower car count. GT has equal physics on a lesser powerful platform with far more cars they have to focus on.

2. Judging by the video and your comment you are saying Assetto Corsa looks like a simcade.

3. So you're comparing a modding community to over 1000 cars all painstakingly adjusted to be like the real thing by a real company that has assets for real world testing?

4. People still use the sound excuse. The game already fills up a whole bluray disc and still has a huge installation. Sounds take up an enormous amount of space, especially 1200 specific cars to record. The driving is the most important. This isn't a sound simulator. This is a racing simulator. They will address this eventually. But perhaps for the next game while they are busy porting assets over they will have the free time to have a separate department take car of adding the sounds.

Honestly these are two very very different games. AC is a REAL sim. GT6 is has arcade physics. Who ever thinks GT is a Sim obviously doesn't drive hard. GT puts alot of emphasis on Weight transfer. Its a great game too, just not as sim as people like to think - which is fine anyway.

Visually they look about as good as each other here and obviously AC is crisper and has a ton more Anisotropic filtering which you'll clearly see if you watch the vid at 1080p.
The thing is, I have and own Assetto Corsa on PC and can tell you looks are not its forte - don't get me wrong, its far from ugly but you don't buy this game for the looks.

[mithril]

Assetto Corsa is superb. and this is the kind of graphics I want to see on GT7 Ps4.

[T900]

As of right now, aside hardcore PC racing sims like Iracing or Rfactor 2 nothing out there can stand up to Assetto Corsa.

I really cant wait for Project Cars to be out. Would be amazing to see AC and Project Cars go head to head.

Whats really amazing is that AC is made by a very small development team. Its amazing what they have done considering their man power and budget, i think the game is severely under appreciated.

[mithril]

Go to youtube this chanels already have AC vs Project cars

[Tibbers]

Project Cars isn't even close the rFactor 2, iRacing and AC physics wise.

[Sarcasm]

GT7 would most likely look like this

All they need to do is make the photo mode work on the PS4 and run in real time.

I mean if they could make that engine run on 7 year old PS3 hardware at almost 1080p, there's no reason they couldn't do it on the PS4 at 1080p with superb anti-aliasing, lighting and post processing.

Hopefully.

Assetto Corsa looks great, but the sky needs an upgrade, it looks like a dome with painted clouds on the ceiling.

[LiQuiZoN]

Gt6 looks and drives incredibly well. It's a great driving simulated experience. Excited for gt7!

[pennywhyz]

When AC is done ya gonna need power from a PS7 to keep up with visuals and more importantly physics and AI. This game is not ment for lil 4 or 5 hundred consoles.

[TXIDarkAvenger]

I got both and I'm honestly enjoying Assetto Corsa more. It's not even the full game and I've put more hours into it. Regardless, this is a great time for sim racing fans, can't wait until Project CARS releases too.

[LeoDDestroyer]

Is every racing sim only going to be compared against gt6. It makes it seems as gt6 is the best racing can offer.

[metalgod88]

This really is an unfair comparison. The PS3 is almost 7 year old hardware while Assetto Corsa is a game that requires todays best hardware to look that good.

As impressive as Corsa is, I can't bring myself to actually consider this a comparison. It's more of a, "Hey look, they both have the same car, cool!" kind of deal.

[Rzep]

lol it does not need anything even close to the best hardware.

[Tibbers]

Talking about unfair: GT is published by Sony; AC is indie.

Also AC does not require "todays best hardware" to look good.

[metalgod88]

It needs some pretty good hardware to run at max settings. And yes, AC is indie, but at the same time, they have access to the newest hardware. Polyphony are pros at what they do and this is the best they can get it to look on a ps3. That's impressive to me, but it doesn't compare to what the devs on a pc can do simply because the hardware is so much more advanced.

[Back-to-Back]

radeon 6450 is the min. That is much more powerful than what the ps3 has now.

[gamingisnotacrime]

gt 6 on the good old PS3 plays and looks great. best bang for the buck

[level 360]

Was also watching a comparison between Project CARS v Assetto Corsa ( http://n4g.com/news/1416960... ). Is more comparable than with GT6

Believe it's a good marketing strategy to sell Assetto Corsa to PC gamers..

..although I think these comparison won't really hurt the credibility of Project CARS and GT6.

Mainly GranTurismo has a huge loyal fanbase and Project CARS have got the markets of PC/console covered so in a lot of ways will take in a whole heap of console gamers reeled in next year.

[RCslayer]

Put GT7 in the group when it comes out, then we will see how the difference looks, GT6 looks awesome on 7 year old hardware, compared to a PC, of course its going to look better.

[metalgod88]

That's pretty much exactly what I think. People can disagree, but that's the truth.
