I ended up resorting to online guides to help find a decent controller setup across various forums to see what worked for other players because the default setups weren’t doing me any good. I was still able to manage a controller in Forza but in Competizione it seemed hope was lost. The more arcade racing type games such as Need For Speed, The Crew and even the NASCAR Heat series, using a controller is highly doable, but in simulation type games, you’re going to have a tough time. It is tough to play any racing game with a controller. It is hard to put in consistent laps when you have to keep braking to correct your turns, or slow down more to have better control of your car. This particular game rewards you for being consistent with your turns, and speed. I felt my car sliding all over the place, often losing control due to the jerky nature of using a controller. When I shifted into gear and went for a lap around the Monza circuit, I noticed how differently the car handles as compared to Forza Motorsport 7. The car engines sound great, and any other effects all sound great. That aside, the game’s audio is utterly fantastic. The people around the track, and the vegetation looks stale, taking me out of the immersion. This seems to be commonplace in racing games, where you’ll have excellent car and track models, but the ambiance around it just doesn’t look as good. Driving on to the track however, everything else just didn’t look as good. At any camera angle Competizione is a gearhead’s dream. Loading into the game, I noticed just how excellent the car models look. Once you complete the tests, you are launched into the GT Racing Series on your own team, where you’ll compete in various events to try and become champion! You are to drive a variety of tests in ideal track conditions, wet track conditions and night driving for the game to test your skill level for your advance into the GT racing series. In Career mode, you start out as a driver participating in the Lamborghini Youngster Program at the Monza Circuit. ![]() Upon booting up the game, you are introduced to a menu with a few different modes to choose from. However, when I heard Competizione was being ported over with improved controls, I got excited. For this reason, the original Assetto Corsa eluded me because I’ve been told the game isn’t designed to be used with a controller, despite offering controller support. The typical Sprint race weekend consists of two one-hour races, whereas an Endurance race can be 3, 6 or even 24 hours!īefore acquiring Competizione I had been shifting back and forth between the likes of Forza Motorsport 7 and Forza Horizon 4. I had worked my way up to being able to compete against the AI in those games on Expert and Pro levels with minimal assists using a controller, for I do not have a proper set up for a steering wheel. There are also two different championships for Sprint and Endurance races. The race format of this series is different from other racing series such as NASCAR or Formula 1 where the victor is who crosses the finish line first after completing a specified number of laps, rather the races are time-based and the driver who finishes in the least amount of combined time once he crosses the final lap after the time expires, is declared the winner. As the name says, the races take place through various countries across Europe from Italy’s Monza Circuit to the Nurburgring in Germany. The GT World Challenge Europe series is a variety of racing events involving cars specified to GT3 regulations. ![]() As a result, there are not as many cars or circuits to race on, but that doesn’t mean there is no less fun to be had. Now with a new game on the market in Assetto Corsa Competizione, how will it compare?įirst and foremost I must add that Competizione is not a remake or remaster of the original Assetto Corsa, but instead shifts its focus to being the official game of the GT World Challenge, more specifically the 2018-2019 Blancpain GT Series (now known as GT World Challenge Europe). The game is often unforgiving of even the slightest of mistakes and will not hold your hand. It is known to be a full on racing sim that will test the mettle of anyone who dares don a steering wheel (or game-pad) against it. Violence: Just your typical risks of crashing into things Overview IntroductionĪssetto Corsa is an Italian phrase that is a part of any racing simulation fan’s vocabulary regardless of native tongue. Can its sister game Competizione with a more specific focus to GT racing, live up to its hype, or will it be stuck in its shadow?
