ATAG_FLare is right. At some point in the video, one can tell that you are def not using a wheel just from the steering's visuals. I was to point out that you have not done ACC full justice because one of its primary goal in their franchise is the cars' physics. Yes, others may suggest that sims like rfactor 2 & iracing have better physics but I think we can all agree that AC has always been at the top too..so I thought it was worth a shot in the video. But since you have clarified that you used a controller, then maybe it would not have been the best for this particular experiment. Anyway, nice video all in all.
PCars 2 still looks visually immersive. Sounds, physics, driving immersion however goes to ACC. If you want to race GT3 cars, ACC even beats Iracing in that category.
ACC is the best in terms of GT3 cars. IRacing GT3 cars are horrible. The more I get involved in the sim racing community the more IRacing slander I hear. Though ACC has its problems aswell..
I know this is a visual comparison which I'd say the two are fairly equal, but the physics in ACC are far superior and this is important when it comes to racing sims.
@@sqlevolicious The majority say R3E wins hands down in the sound department. I scored 98 of 100 sets of semi tones correctly in school which was the top score. I am far from needing a hearing aid as my hearing has been tested since then and is beyond that of the average person. Regardless, those who know how the real cars sound know ACC has got it wrong.
When looking through racing games of the past couple of years (haven't played one in many years), I found it quite surprising that older games sometimes look better than newer ones.
I think this depends of which wheel you are using. My FFB in ACC is currently horrible compared with Project Cars 2, although I haven't tweaked it in ACC since the BMW was released in early access .. I should get on that .. but the VR is still clunky, ugly, and performance stinks in ACC compared to PC2 which has almost no setup requirements, performs excellently and looks as good as VR can. The FFB in PC2 is still car dependant but most are really good these days.
@@RubberStig for me, (at least with various updates since 8 months ago) ACC gives less information through the wheel, you dont feel bumps or slides as much through the wheel, which, while being more realistic makes it harder to drive, whereas project cars 2 gives loads of info, you can feel slides and bumps very well, which is less realistic but easier to drive, so IMO is preference as to what you think is "better"
@@wiseboy4 Since that comment 8 months ago, I now have a DD wheel (Accuforce Pro v2), and the game that I enjoy the most is now ACC. You can tweak SimCommander (Accuforce software) to do do just about anything, and most likely someone has already done it, and you can download it directly from the software. PC2 is still great with the DD wheel, but as with previously the FFB still varies wildly from car to car. My opinion is leaning towards ACC, RaceRoom's recent improvements to both physics and FFB also make it a top tier sim. Project Cars 2 and AC (original) will always be the place where I go for street cars. ACC and RaceRoom for racecars.
What amazes me is the double edged sword of competition and innovation. Just imagine that there are completely separate development teams both working on creating the exact same assets! Could you imagine if we could gather a dream development team and use the best bits from every racing game in order to to produce the most bestest realest driving car game evar!! Of course, if there weren't separate teams always trying to outdo each other, then we'd probably still have sprites ;)
As an ac fan boy project cars 2 looks amazing even though its older its a legend of a sim racer. Ill get stuck back in to pc2 but im still loving my ac i havent got time for acc
I feel like ACC is a stripped down version of AC, sure it has some nicer gfx (no mods) but its literally one type of car class. I love all the street cars in AC! Plus SOL mod makes ACC redundant
@@bunkaaa8726 but its not the same game thats exactly what im trying to say they were both made for different reasons acc is an official game by the blancpain series its the best gt3 sim according to real life driver James Baldwin ac isnt an official game by any series and isnt focused on any racing genre its ment to be an all around kind of racer its gt3 offering is less accurate
Finally, someone said it. No mention about physics or even gameplay. PC2 is the overall loser here. When it comes to sim racing, graphics is extremely irrelevant.
If you want to know about car feel and ffb. This guy isn't qualified, look at his racing lines, road craft and braking zones. He's not done too much proper racing before. Jimmy Broadbent (Winner of the 3rd split, 2019 24hours of lemans, on iracing that is...) He says these are the best feeling GT3 Cars that he has raced in any SIM and that they all have their own characteristics that means that they handle believably and differently between the car models. He also says that his FFB needed to be adjusted a touch when he first got into it, but that it wasn't too much hassle.
Maxim Turbin if you want opinions from someone who actually races GT3 you should look no further than Nicki Thiim. You have to bear in mind Jimmer is not a GT racer, he priorities Prototypes with High Downforce.
Would've been nice if the dynamic track surfaces were compared too, like which games track rubbers in more realistically or if dirt is thrown on track if you cut corners too much
By playing indycar in pc2, i noticed that dirt lanes form when you cut the tracks a bit multiple times. This makes the track a bit slippery which i find very realistic. Now we need an ACC player to compare
Nothing beats the rain in Drive Club. I was so impressed with that feature! ALSO ... from what I can tell ACC wins in the sound department on the in-car view. They really nailed the sounds the car makes (not just engine).
Currently playing PC2 on Series X (One X back compat in enhanced visuals mode) and honestly feels like a brand new game released in 2022, awesome gfx and sound.
The video is great but what really matters on most of the racing sims and why people buy them is the gameplay itself. How realistic it is to drive and how responsive the game can be compared to real life.
@@donas6406 I don't have any of the 2 games to test myself xD. But I would like to see comparsions on how they compare to real life and if it's worth it. Well, it's true that my G920 is not nearly close to a great simulator but the best experience possible with it will be appreciated.
@@Nick930 Damage is defiently there, i tried it out on release day. Still think, that is not as good like in project car, but it is there. Mechanicaly probably more realistic than in PC2
It is now 2024. Whatever the differences are between both STEAM games, I still enjoy the racing in both of them on my PC computer. I don't do much online racing, but do race with the AI cars and find both games very entertaining. Who really cares what some of the graphic details are when we are racing around all the tracks at top speeds. At that point everything looks like a blur to try and make out car and track details. I also race both games in VR mode. Sound differences are a don't care item. So the cars in the games sound different, who really cares, we are in the games to race not admire how accurate the engine sounds are. If you are that fussy about sounds, then racing games are not for you - go to live real races. Summary, both games will be enjoyable, just have a good gaming computer and graphics card for the PC Take care.
PC2 better graphics overall although ACC has a better interior ACC has better sounds although PC2 isn't bad either PC2 has more rich content but ACC is just starting out over all i would say Both are great
You can't blame ACC for the amount of content because it's a one series only (Just like the F1 games) And PC2 is a sim thats focused on more series from group a touring cars to F1
@1:12 "Mesh seems to be more distinct in PC2" - Did you mean it's not shaded correctly? There is a clear shadow from rear wing covering part of the mesh in ACC, while in PC2 radiator behind the mesh is simply glowing out of nowhere thus the mesh is more distinct. @4:52 of course you'll have more water splashes if you have tons of cars in front of you compared to just one in ACC. Also I'd heavily debate PC2 having better water reflections.
ACC is actually pretty lackluster in many ways at this stage. Bare in mind that pCars 2 is quite old, so SMD had time to polish it. But when it comes to the core of the experience, the driving, ACC simply has better handling which is the biggest weak point in SMD games in general.
The interior sounds in acc were made with feedback from actual gt3 drivers. Sounds they commonly used as cues have been accurately replicated, like the cold brakes
PC2 graphics are terrible in some aspects and great in others! In some tracks some textures are missing!!! It's just jarring! But the car models and weather effects are pretty good.
My thoughts exactly. PC seems to have the edge on the audio, but it's not perfect. I could hear many of the sample's loop points in ACC which lost the immersion.
Very good video , and very interesting to see side-by-side of these 2 en detail. PC2 has aged very very well, another reason why AMS 2 should be a piece of cake!
Temporal filtering is meant to provide worse but ok quality, and more fps. For best graphics, you need to TURN OFF! or set FXAA(post-processing) or none if you use another AA(multiply pixel density like MSAA) and super sampling looks just better than MSAA, super sampling is just like render 4K resolution, downsample, display ar 2K resolution.
@@Nick930 Then, I think you should disable temporal filtering(aka checker board). it halves shader rendering, especially normal map texture of things like tile looks less bumpy surface. Also Interpolation is needed also, with high motion it could looks blurry. how temporal filtering works 1. Half your rendering resolution 2. MSAA your rendering 3. Interpolation shader due to lack of information of 4. Display
PCars 2 has been out for 2 years now & its obvious the game have been polished with lots of updates. ACC a freshly baked game that i can confirm will get better in few upcoming updates. I've been playing PCars 2 & AC on PC, overall i fancy AC more than PCars 2 because of how polished the game is & the modding community for AC is huge. I'll get my hands on ACC soon, maybe in few more upcoming updates. As for now im just gonna enjoy my AC.
Great video as always. Only one thing. In the rain you showed PC2 in traffic and ACC not. ACC looks way better when racing other cars in the rain. Not even mentioning physics because it's graphics comparison :P For a small team Kunos is they did great job in graphics department anyway. @edit: and there is damage in ACC. Clearly running default realism settings (which is completely miss by Kunos)
I just wished project cars would be a stand-alone game that they'd just keeping putting in additions/revisions to but I guess there's less money in it for them that way.
@@SantiagoVelezRestrepo You missed my point, they could have made it a model where there's minor monthly updates that keep bettering the game (including physics) instead of segmenting the community with sequels.
Nights are way too contrasted in ACC, lacking some dynamic range. You should have talked about performance too. Personally I prefer PC2 graphics it's even close to Forza.
Nice info! Would've been interesting know what kind of performance you got at the used quality setting in both games. ACC is basically unusable in VR still due to poor performance. Info like that would be interesting to have included in comparison videos like this!
For me, PC2 looks (and plays) so much better for my driving style. However, even the most dedicated PC2 fan has to admit the ACC sounds more authentic.
@@magzire I've been playing driving sims for over 30 years, but then I guess being an arrogant prick you probably didn't engage your brain before posting your response.
But the most important thing is the feeling and how fun they are. For me at least ACC wins by miles there so that's where I will be spending a lot of time from now on.
In a car racing game all people want is great sounding cars! As long as graphic’s are current gen we don’t care about them being amazing all we want is cars sounding like real cars!!
I swear, if all sims joined together and brought their best aspects into one game... the sim racing world would forever change. No more bits from each.
This. I don't understand why people compare a graphic of simulation games. I certainly prefer a less-fancy graphic to get more more memory to calculate the physics in real time. Imagine a driving sim that imitates the real life. You can get to racing in a game without have to worrying about totaled your car, risking your life from accident, repair expenses, etc and in the same time racing with real life physics.
@@nexgenvxv6652 They absolutely sound realistic in ACC - I watched both a Porsche GT3 and Ferrari Cup Challenge races live a few weeks ago, and they squeal exactly like in ACC. They also were glowing red as they braked for the hairpin!
Last Night I played Nurburgring with the Logitech g920 in both games and it was super satisfying in AC. Project cars gave me a weird feeling driving some cars. And the audio with headset is more immersive in AC. However, environment and car exteriors looks stunning in pc2
I believe that Project Cars has immersive graphics and audio. That being said, it's strange how AC got right the two things real sim racers do see a lot on screen, cockpit and sky.
@@GT4tube Sorry I got you mad ASC fan but you can't call me an idiot if it is my own opinion also, PCars has a better UI, plug and play wheel support, and better VR integration. It also has a proper career mode with championships, race. weekends, team management, crowds look like they have higher resolution (3:06). I still think ASC is a good game though.

@4:52 of course you'll have more water splashes if you have tons of cars in front of you compared to just one in ACC. Also I'd heavily debate PC2 having better water reflections.
ACC is actually pretty lackluster in many ways at this stage. Bare in mind that pCars 2 is quite old, so SMD had time to polish it. But when it comes to the core of the experience, the driving, ACC simply has better handling which is the biggest weak point in SMD games in general.
No clear winner honestly. Both games seem to do something better than the other and vice versa. Another great video
Beer Bourbon and Games yep, but with 2 years of difference!
Lets talk about Driveclub rain/weather effects, a game from 2014.. outstanding
Yeah good rain effect but sucks in physic sadly
Patiently waiting for Project Cars 3 vs Project Cars 2.
the exhaust turns red when u rev or drive the car in ACC.
The interior sounds in acc were made with feedback from actual gt3 drivers. Sounds they commonly used as cues have been accurately replicated, like the cold brakes
3:24 ACC crowd is more realistic, I've never seen a full grandstand at a Blancpain event, despite it being an awesome series.
They both look pretty great, but I'm sure most sim enthusiasts would had likely own both anyways. Great vid btw.
PC2 graphics are terrible in some aspects and great in others! In some tracks some textures are missing!!! It's just jarring! But the car models and weather effects are pretty good.
I don’t think many sim enthusiasts would have gotten it since pc3 is more sim cade
What's going on with the braking sound in Assetto? Pterodactyls or something?
My thoughts exactly. PC seems to have the edge on the audio, but it's not perfect. I could hear many of the sample's loop points in ACC which lost the immersion.
thats how carbon ceramic brakes sound when cold
Very good video , and very interesting to see side-by-side of these 2 en detail. PC2 has aged very very well, another reason why AMS 2 should be a piece of cake!
I hope he looks and drive like a delicious piece of chocolate cake
Physics in AC are miles miles miles better then PC2, sorry. People we say otherwise probably havn't ever driven a car at or near its limits.
@@Sihmunath Completely vague request, every car is different and will perform differently.
Temporal filtering is meant to provide worse but ok quality, and more fps.
For best graphics, you need to TURN OFF! or set FXAA(post-processing) or none if you use another AA(multiply pixel density like MSAA)
and super sampling looks just better than MSAA, super sampling is just like render 4K resolution, downsample, display ar 2K resolution.
Super sampling is never enabled for these comparisons. I only use native resolutions with no supersample
@@Nick930 Then, I think you should disable temporal filtering(aka checker board). it halves shader rendering, especially normal map texture of things like tile looks less bumpy surface. Also Interpolation is needed also, with high motion it could looks blurry.
how temporal filtering works
1. Half your rendering resolution
2. MSAA your rendering
3. Interpolation shader due to lack of information of
4. Display
Project car : graphics
ACC : everything else
...not if you know how to setup your wheel in pc2 !
@@keksenascherable oof... Your comment tells me everything I need to know
Project cars 2 : Graphics
ACC: gravity propelled racing experience.
You can already see how good video comparison will be as soon you mentioned "ACC DRIVING sim vs PC2 RACING sim" lol
PCars 2 has been out for 2 years now & its obvious the game have been polished with lots of updates. ACC a freshly baked game that i can confirm will get better in few upcoming updates. I've been playing PCars 2 & AC on PC, overall i fancy AC more than PCars 2 because of how polished the game is & the modding community for AC is huge. I'll get my hands on ACC soon, maybe in few more upcoming updates. As for now im just gonna enjoy my AC.
Bull66 just got into AC, but I have problems setting up a server unfortunately
They both look like amazing games to me.
ACC doesn't have modding support sadly, it's just a Blancpain GT game with the AC label. If you have to buy one of the two, I'd say get PC2
Ale P or you could buy ac and get mods for the cars and graphics
Awesome job, thank you so much!
Great video as always. Only one thing. In the rain you showed PC2 in traffic and ACC not. ACC looks way better when racing other cars in the rain. Not even mentioning physics because it's graphics comparison :P For a small team Kunos is they did great job in graphics department anyway.
@edit: and there is damage in ACC. Clearly running default realism settings (which is completely miss by Kunos)
Nice review !
ACC is better in Physics and Graphics. PC2 is obviously better in different cars and classes. What you should buy ? Both ;)
Depends on what u play on, if pc then get acc but it's ur chkice
Actually physics are much more superior on PC2, higher simulation rate, more complex tire model, etc.
Good job man 👍🏼
Pc2 even if it's quite old still be a very nice game👌... But obviously Acc has better sounds... But let's hope for a better project cars 3😊
I just wished project cars would be a stand-alone game that they'd just keeping putting in additions/revisions to but I guess there's less money in it for them that way.
Jon Lenin project cars 1 have a physics that really sucks, Pc2 have an tremendous improve!
@@SantiagoVelezRestrepo You missed my point, they could have made it a model where there's minor monthly updates that keep bettering the game (including physics) instead of segmenting the community with sequels.
@@SantiagoVelezRestrepo you're right!
I guess I'm speaking another language lmao
Asseto corsa is the best, cheaper and still got update. Worth every penny
3:25 Assetto’s crowds are more realistic for GT3
Blurry, ambiguous and few.
I'd be happy to know if you revised your opinion after the latest release
Nights are way too contrasted in ACC, lacking some dynamic range. You should have talked about performance too. Personally I prefer PC2 graphics it's even close to Forza.
not even close to Forza imho... are you playing Forza on high settings? It looks quite amazing, something that PC2 never succeeded in doing.
@@chrmez I play PC2 on ultra, yes Forza is the graphic king but PC2 is close. ACC is the king in the RF2 / AMS / Iracing graphic league...
The pc2 488 gt3 has a deeper more throaty sound that resembles the 488 pista. The acc 488 gt3 sounds like the 488gtb
Can you do dayz since it just released on ps4
Aloner Stoner dayz is a bad game refunded it so fast lol
Nice info! Would've been interesting know what kind of performance you got at the used quality setting in both games. ACC is basically unusable in VR still due to poor performance. Info like that would be interesting to have included in comparison videos like this!
For me, PC2 looks (and plays) so much better for my driving style. However, even the most dedicated PC2 fan has to admit the ACC sounds more authentic.
Well SMS fired half their sound team at the end of pc2 development, obviously they were not happy either with the vehicle sounds in pc2
@@K4R3N I did not know that. Here's hoping PC3 will sound a lot better.
mrn4s LOL
Of course you like pcars, most noobs do cause its easy to drive with its simple physics
@@magzire I've been playing driving sims for over 30 years, but then I guess being an arrogant prick you probably didn't engage your brain before posting your response.
Can't wait for the splinter cell documentary tomorrow, really excited to see a doc on one of my favorite childhood franchises.
...what? Its available already lol. Check my channel
@@Nick930 holy crap you are right I didn't realize a week passed already
But the most important thing is the feeling and how fun they are. For me at least ACC wins by miles there so that's where I will be spending a lot of time from now on.
Yes cause ACC is arcade game
@@markomarko3450 FYI: Saying that ACC is arcade doesn't make you look cool.
@@chrmez Ok,SIMCADE
@@markomarko3450 you literally have no clue what your talking about go back to forza
In a car racing game all people want is great sounding cars! As long as graphic’s are current gen we don’t care about them being amazing all we want is cars sounding like real cars!!
Wounder how long it'll take to have Driveclub quality weather in a sim
I swear, if all sims joined together and brought their best aspects into one game... the sim racing world would forever change. No more bits from each.
ACC's sound shits on PCars 2... also physics wise. I also enjoy the look of ACC much much more
acc is a sim not like an arcadis sim wannabe like pc2
Rowht hehe. Everything you said is 100% wrong
@@Rowht bet you haven't played either of the games lol
@@SuperIceman44 i have and not jist those two mate
@@Rowht gatekeeping racing sims will sure help more people getting into this already small niche :-P
Which one should I buy? I just want time to time make few laps with various cars.
A simulation game is never just about graphic, driving experience also matters. ACC beats Pcar2 with no doubt.
This. I don't understand why people compare a graphic of simulation games. I certainly prefer a less-fancy graphic to get more more memory to calculate the physics in real time.
Imagine a driving sim that imitates the real life. You can get to racing in a game without have to worrying about totaled your car, risking your life from accident, repair expenses, etc and in the same time racing with real life physics.
which one is better to play, ( easier to set up cars, physics, Steering Wheel compatibility, etc, )... ?
Hard choice to me... I like both, in terms of driving simulation i prefer Assetto by little
is the driving experience of acc more like in Raceroom experience or more like in pc2?
Breaking in ACC sounds like Buzzard call or some similar bird. LoL.
NexGen vxv Gt3 cars have huge disks and brake pads and they tend to squeal at lower speeds, pretty realistic imo.
When the brakes are hot, doesn't squeal like that
@@nexgenvxv6652 They absolutely sound realistic in ACC - I watched both a Porsche GT3 and Ferrari Cup Challenge races live a few weeks ago, and they squeal exactly like in ACC. They also were glowing red as they braked for the hairpin!
Aussie fps also when they’re cold (low lap count)
Last Night I played Nurburgring with the Logitech g920 in both games and it was super satisfying in AC. Project cars gave me a weird feeling driving some cars. And the audio with headset is more immersive in AC. However, environment and car exteriors looks stunning in pc2
You did Assetto a huge service by not comparing frame rates.
And a huge disservice by not comparing actual driving models and car driving physics.
@@comradical This is a visual comparison, nothing else.
I believe that Project Cars has immersive graphics and audio. That being said, it's strange how AC got right the two things real sim racers do see a lot on screen, cockpit and sky.
I work on the Ferrari gt3 and the assetto sound is much more realistic
Okay main question on which one i should buy
which one has a sandbox mode
I think the rain effects are really nice in Project Cars 2
Not. you idiot. PCars 2 worst rain graphics bad. ASC better.
@@GT4tube Sorry I got you mad ASC fan but you can't call me an idiot if it is my own opinion also, PCars has a better UI, plug and play wheel support, and better VR integration. It also has a proper career mode with championships, race. weekends, team management, crowds look like they have higher resolution (3:06). I still think ASC is a good game though.
ACC's onboard sound is amazing
