| DEVELOPMENT HISTORY |
Assetto Corsa Evo is the latest chapter in the legendary racing simulation series from Italian studio Kunos Simulazioni. The game is a sequel to the original Assetto Corsa, released in 2014, and continues the tradition of providing players with one of the most realistic racing simulations on the market. Development of Evo began shortly after the completion of Assetto Corsa Competizione, with the studio focusing on creating an innovative gaming experience.
The main goal of the developers was to improve the physics model and the graphics engine to make the game even more realistic. To achieve this goal, Kunos Simulazioni collaborated with professional racing drivers and engineering teams from the motorsport industry. This allowed them to integrate precise data on the behavior of the cars, aerodynamics and the interaction of the tires with the track.
A key stage of development was the introduction of new simulation technologies. For example, the weather system was completely redesigned so that they dynamically affected the car control. The developers also added support for real-time tracks, which allows reproducing the current state of the road surface based on data from real circuits.
The active community of players also played an important role in the creation of Assetto Corsa Evo. Feedback and modifications from the community inspired the developers to add new features, such as an improved car tuning system and the ability to customize tracks. All this makes Evo not just a simulator, but a universal platform for motorsports.
| GRAPHICS |
Assetto Corsa Evo's graphics have reached a new level thanks to the introduction of modern technologies. The game uses an updated graphics engine that allows it to reproduce tracks and cars with incredible accuracy. High-resolution textures, dynamic lighting and ray tracing create a completely immersive experience.
One of the most notable improvements is the weather system. Rain, fog, sunlight and even snowfall look photorealistic, and their impact on the track is felt at every turn. For example, wet surfaces lead to reduced grip, and puddles on the road can cause aquaplaning, which adds new levels of complexity and realism to the game.
The cars in Evo also received significant visual improvements. Interior details, exterior aerodynamics and body textures have been worked out to the smallest detail. Reflections on varnished surfaces and the interaction of light with metal look like in real life. The cameras in the game are set up in such a way as to convey the feeling of a professional race, whether it is a view from the cockpit or an external view.
For owners of high-performance systems, the game supports 4K resolution and HDR technology, which makes the image bright and saturated. At the same time, optimization allows you to enjoy the game even on more modest configurations.
| GAME ENGINE |
Assetto Corsa Evo is based on an upgraded version of the engine developed by Kunos Simulazioni. This engine has been specially optimized for racing to ensure maximum simulation accuracy and stable performance. The main feature of the engine is its advanced physics model. The simulation of the behavior of tires, aerodynamics and suspension of cars has been redesigned from scratch to take into account the smallest details. For example, the dynamics of tire pressure changes during a race or the effect of temperature on grip are now reproduced with amazing accuracy.
The engine also supports dynamic lighting and shadows, making racing at any time of day as realistic as possible. The change of day and night, as well as weather conditions, now occur smoothly and do not require additional loading. The network component has been significantly improved. The engine provides minimal delays in multiplayer sessions, which is critical for eSports events. Moreover, support for integration with professional racing simulators has been added, making the game suitable for both amateurs and professionals.
Special attention has been paid to optimization. Even with high detail and a complex physical model, the game runs stably on a wide range of devices, from current-generation gaming consoles to powerful PCs. Support for modern APIs such as DirectX 12 ensures maximum performance and stability.
| QUALITY |
Minimum settings
At minimum graphics settings Assetto Corsa EVO The game still offers realistic physics and exciting races, but with simplified visuals and environmental detail. Car and track textures will be less detailed, and the overall number of special effects (e.g. reflections, shadows, weather conditions) will be limited to ensure a stable frame rate on more modest systems. However, the physics model remains at a high level, preserving the core essence of the simulator.
High/Max settings
At high and maximum settings, the game reveals its full potential: detailed car models, picturesque tracks with a high level of rendering and a realistic lighting system. Dynamic lighting effects, realistic reflections and ray tracing (with the support of appropriate video cards) give a complete sense of presence.
