Assetto Corsa On The PS4 & Xbox One – First Impressions

Los Santos Sheriff takes a first look at Kunos Simulazioni’s upcoming PS4 and Xbox One console versions of the Assetto Corsa Racing Simulator.

Assetto Corsa already made a name for itself on the PC platform and is regarded as one of the best commercial racing simulators to date. On August the 26th (Europe) and August the 30th (North America), The Assetto Corsa title will be released for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles. It will be the first console racer that is geared towards the simulation genre and will most likely attract a horde of former Gran Turismo and Forza Motorsport fans.

During his Assetto Corsa preview test drive, Los Santos Sheriff checks out the graphics, the user interface, and gameplay features. Interestingly, he confirms that the game’s driving physics have not changed in comparison to the PC version. That is very good news since many community members and console gamers were concerned that Kunos Simulazioni might have simplified the car handling.

Last but not least, Console gamers will be pleased to hear that the racing simulator drives very well using a Dualshock 4 gamepad. However, Los Santos Sheriff points out that a decent racing wheel will still yield the best results.
