The RISE and FALL of the Mobile Racing Simulator - Assoluto Racing 

First of all, I wanna thank everyone who got involved in making this video possible. Without you guys this video wouldn’t even exist. Thank you so much. I hope you guys enjoy this video, and I hope it’s enough constructive criticism for the game to improve again. Sorry for my “bad” English although I made a great effort. See you in the next time.

THIS GAME WAS SO CLOSE TO BEING THE GOATED MOBILE SIMCADE UNTIL THE HIGHSPEED ERECTILE EVENT AND LOOTBOXES RUINED IT ALL !!!

We need Real Racing to make a huge comback, but unfortunately huge layoffs of the studio means we're never gonna see an RR4. RR3 is such a weird game to talk about in the racing community despite how solid of a literal racing game it is. Ignoring the physics and gameplay the gameplay progression itself is actually better than most modern racing games, this is a decade old mobile racing games with better progression than modern racing games on PC and console... that says a lot.

This game still lacks lots of contents for players to play longer. I don't mind to do time attack on racetrack, which is still the main mode in this game, but this game lacks tracks. They introduced some classic Group C cars, but LeMans is not here. They also introduced Castrol Supra GT500, but Suzuka, Okayama, Autopolis and Twin Ring Motegi are not here. For the cars, I forgive them for not releasing that many of European and American manufacturers, since they said getting license is a problem. But it's still slow for them to just add some JDMs into the game.

I genuinely remember when they have offline mode, still wonder why they removed it

i used to be a beta tester for this game, i was super against the loot boxes they put in, then i just got bored of AR. i come back to it every so often and immedietely put it down. such a shame as it had tons of potential. looks nice but is very hollow edit: oh shit i forgot about ai lmao. if they concentrated on that and made a career mode then it mightve been a great game.

I agree Matt AR isnt as fun as it used to be, an update that I personally dislike is the level requirement system for stuff like multiplayer, its a lot harder to convince my friends to try the game when the multiplayer system takes a while to grind

Funnily enough, even Gran Turismo 7 has a collaboration with that anime, Highspeed Etoile. *_It is scheduled to end on the 25th of july with the next update._* -Happy days.-

GT Racing by Gameloft was GOATED back then

Man. So much FACTS dropped in this video, god damn. The game is definitely in a inactive state, looks like devs are just interested in money nowadays, the fact that a SUBSCRIPTION plan is a thing, while having such a incomplete game, blows my mind. Looks like they just deliberately ignore what players have to say now, no major or any improvements on things that players has been asking for ages as of yet. And YET, with all of the flaws, there's still a plenty of players that play this game non stop. Devs should be thankful for having such a dedicated community. It was kind of curious when you mentioned that the anime fictional cars break the inmerssion, which, i agree. But i think that cars with crazy stupid handling, like for example, the supposed Falken “drift" vehicles, or a GT2 RS doing LM car laptimes, or a lot of cars just passing 400 kph, really break the inmerssion sometimes. Or in the other way around. Some cars handle like absolute crap when they shouldn't. All of those cars need to be balanced. But at the same time i know that devs are greedy and they don't want to vulnerate their ultra rare to get super special tier 5 imports.

This is one of the best AR related videos I’ve seen yet, I can see how much work you poured into this video to make it and upload it so really well done. (Also I’m quite surprised that you managed to find my message about my ban and others lmao). I would also like to mention or just correct some more points about the video and the issues of the game Firstly, you forgot about the Aoyama Touge which was even worse than Fuji Speedway in terms of playability because it could lag a lot and easily crash as well on a lot of phones, it’s easily the worst optimized track in the game. Secondly, about the contents part I wouldn’t say it wasn’t “enough”, I believe there was in fact enough but what made it not enough was the fact that most cars were locked behind the imports anyway and not everyone can be guaranteed to have the new cars, so in the end if you tried to pull for the imports and didn’t get the new cars, you pretty much have zero new contents to play with because you didn’t even get them in the first place. Finally, literally every gacha games or at least every successful or still alive gacha games have what it’s called a “pity” system which puts a guarantee on a limited or highest tier of the content after a certain number of pulls which helps a lot for people to be sure to get it and try it out, a thing that is literally absent in AR which means you couldn’t even be sure when you’ll even get the rarest contents and if you even have enough of the currency to get it. That’s all. Again the video is really good and is to be honest probably the best AR video I’ve seen yet. I’d appreciate it if you could pin this comment so people can see the other issues that the game has.

Great video, and nice English speaking. Although I wasn’t there for the heyday of this game, I truly can see a fall in its quality. I am usually a player who can still have fun with widely-considered “boring” games, but even I have gotten tired of AR’s limited updates and no optimization fixing. I understand it is a small team, but I think they could still do a better job of learning from and catering to their community.

I remember trying this game and deciding it was just better to emulate gran turismo on my phone lol

Damn Matttt , you cooked with this one , i wish AR devs watch this video , because Matt explained A to Z the real History of AR , thx matt for the video.

Real racing 3 actually has understeer, the only problem is that understeer is underrepresented and oversteer is over represented,like lets say you are understeering and you turn the steering too hard , you expect the car not to turn but in rr3 it snaps into oversteer even in fwd cars, i think thats why people think rr3 doesnt have understeer

24:00 so real

I remember being excited for this game back in the day but seeing its current state makes me sad. It's unfortunate to see that the game went the average mobile game route instead of actually being something different and unique.

Import ticket chances to be fixed, add in more tracks(sepang, spa, mount panorama, singapore gp track and etc, more cars (not import) have customisation that involves downforce (spoilers or body kit), have night mode selection for each track before entering, have more possibilty on tunings such as suspension stiffness, rebound and preload, dampening effect and etc. Ability to change tyre width too, theres many things to add in to fine tune this game to be the best in its class

Well said... It seems everyone especially the batch 2016 have been moving on the PC sim while others just move on the better racing app like carX street and other good racing stuff these days. Somehow it did a great journey of this game since pandemic era. Well, it's a hella fun mobile racing game and I'm done playing of this game since my very old 2018 phone just went reach on a limit. Nevertheless, AR is just a good pocket mobile racing games at all just like Gran Turismo PSP.

Y'all gotta get into emulation. Fuck games that treat you like this

Nice video! I stopped believing in the future of this game when they added the suggestions channel in their discord where people showed their interests and ideas. After, they made a list of the ideas they supposedly liked and they released an update far away from what the people suggested or wanted. And that channel has not been activated since

Good vid (and your english isnt bad tbh, I've heard worse), but it could've been a little bit more in depth by including their origin story, which traces all the way back to 2012 on a GTPlanet forum. The main dev Julien was doing a game with his mate. The game was called Redline Racing (which is basically served as an Assoluto prototype or alpha version). Basically was a freeware title, and it played almost identically as Assoluto. Anyway, so about 2 years later on the GTP thread, some kid decides to rip the models from the game for some video montage that he shares. Julien gets mad about it and he stops the development of the game just because someone extracted his assets (as if its difficult to begin with). That would explain their hate on mods that were going on throughout 2020s. His venture into game development would begin again some weeks after the asset ripping "incident" and he would make Assoluto as we know it today. Basically that would prob be the TLDR version ig, the thread is still up on GTPlanet so you could check it out if you want.

This was one of the few games i wish I discovered earlier but my phone at the time wouldnt have even had the storage. Besides that i decided to download the game a couple of months ago and felt like a breath of fresh air in terms of mobile racing game considering that they have the nordschleife and several licensed cars However, as time went on, despite me not even finishing most of the game it felt empty. There just felt like there wasnt much to do than to just hotlap, gamble on trying to get good cars and end up getting duplicates and a single player race mode that has AI driving like an open lobby and a multiplayer that has same boring repetitive concept Even the events that they have occasionally it just feels like rinse and repeat where you race a car beat a time and thats it This is a great video talking about all of this and its pretty sad to see a game like this be the way how it is For fairly new players like me, this will unfortunately not capture the attention of them like the same way how RR3 did back then and even this game did back in its glory days

I played both Real Racing 3 and Assoluto Racing in separate times, so I feel heavily interested to bring out my yappacino on this one. _Seriously, it's a giant yappacino because of so many things in my thoughts at the time I write this._ Two big racing games, two most revered racing games by fans. One actual thing they have in common is being "Free To Install", which mobile games usually are, but different compared to games set out on Console and PC where you have to buy the game first to install. I'll speak on my experience regarding these two racing games. Starting with Assoluto Racing, the main subject of the video, I played this game in 2016 when the game was released. It was the greatest or even better alternative for my weaker phone during that time, as I wanted to play Real Racing 3 but couldn't do so with storage issues. The physics feel alot more different, all of which are mentioned in the video, and so are the customizations. To get the cars, I have to buy the cars that cost either Credits or Golds. However that year was also short, since in my personal life I have switched to a different hobby. Fast forward to 2020 with newer phone (although said phone was released in 2019 and relatively cheaper one…) there were quite some changes as mentioned. Physics, and especially the way to get the more premium cars are by testing your luck with gacha system. I completely stopped playing the game when the newer touges were added, as they were less optimized and my phone couldn't handle it. Despite how I describe in this paragraph, it was a cherishable experience before the game goes into its actual state. It really could have been on Gran Turismo levels of realistic in terms of the physics and may be the tunings. _More in the replies…_

With me being a racing gamer that doesn't play AR, with experience in various gacha games, I can sympathize with the community on barely getting any updates out, repetitive gameplay being a trend, etc. But there is something that itches me on the responses on the recent updates, and it's the purity complexes most of the community has on this being a simcade game. Assetto Corsa has a huge modding community and is a fusion of people taking it seriously, installing great IRL cars and taking them out to track while there are some who vibe with the more meme-y side of modding, and the lack of the problems that AR has like actually keeping players engaged in the game (even if the modding community is usually the ones doing the heavy lifting). The vibe of most AR fans from this video feels very toxic even if their concerns are valid, and sometimes that is the vibe from sim and simcade fans from an outside perspective, at least to me. Hopefully you can understand my concerns even if most of it is targeted towards the players being weird about anything anime-related.

I've been playing this game for 4 years and I've completed all events and have almost all cars (not counting exotic imports). Nowadays I just do the daily challenges and weekly challenges everyday and then I leave the game. The exotic imports, while a great idea, are very bad implemented as you need to be very very lucky to get the cars you want. It makes no sense locking most of the best cars in a luck based purchase system. If only there was a better way to buy these cars... Also the game, after you complete 100% of all the events gets very boring and repetitive. And the AI sometimes is very broken and crashes everywhere.

I knew this game for a long time and I played it from time to time but each i felt like there was nothing to do in the game, that feeling of emptiness is the worst sensation in a game

I played AR from 2017 - 2022. The game was wonderful and I remember the sensation of the 2.0 update. But immediately after it, the game began to depend more and more on payments. It was funny to see the Porsche update, where you can get 3/4 of the car with meager luck. The game had great potential, but the creators themselves killed it. It got worse and worse with every update

Man, having lost all my consoles years ago, I'd been racing solely on mobile. This hits harder than you know. Great video

I still remember loving this game and wished for its success. The Nurburgring was a huge success for mobile racing games, shame that it's declining. It's like everything I like turns to crap... I hope some developer manages to make something similar but avoiding these issues...the High Speed Etoile criticism though reminds me of GT7 community's reception towards Vision Gran Turismo

I remember setting a track record with a special edition S15 that I had set up for drifting before I got into PC gaming, great times

Even in terms of optimization rr3 is slightly ahead, it can easily run on any entry level smartphone built after 2018 and having atleast 3gb ram, tho online racing won't be fun

i agree hard on the optimization part, my brother has a POCO X3 PRO, a really good phone that can even run genshin impact smoothly, but in assoluto he struggles almost everytime we decide to play it

first of all, this is such a good video. i havent seen any videos about this game until now, and oh boy is it a good one. i don't really know much about this game, i just played it because it looked pretty good in the pictures second of all, i really hate the fact that you have to gamble to get cars, i have never seen that before in simulation games. i wish the devs listened to the community, just like beamng, which have probably the best devs in the whole industry ngl i was also surprised to see that you had such a small subscriber count and this video has so little views, you are super underrated. that's all

I just discovered this video. I had been an Assoluto Racing player since 2019, and when the game started pushing out the terrible updates this year, it absolutely broke my heart and I quit the game...

Nice video and I think they should make something exciting or requested things for next update since its their anniversary they said they are adding requested things but I dont think people requested collabs or fictional cars like rocket league

We need a physics update, when going off the gas the car keeps understeering, the line wont get tighter. The only way to make a corner is to brake, so lifting doesnt help, this is a huge problem in terms of realism

This game was my jam back in the quarantine days but as days and days passed this game just got to expensive and repetitve tracks. I wish i could go back to those times where every night and day would continuously play this game.😢😢😢

Siempre llego tarde a la fiesta, pero lo que puedo decir es que hicieron un trabajo decente considerando que es un equipo pequeño y escuché en algún lugar que están trabajando con menos de 15 personas. No hay nada de malo en experimentar con cosas nuevas, pero haz que sean específicas y agradables para toda la “audiencia”. En aquel entonces, como jugador veterano y también retirado (estoy jugando desde noviembre de 2016 por cierto), este juego es uno de mis juegos que matan el tiempo, especialmente para las carreras móviles porque nada más así en su momento y, sinceramente, deberían prestar más atención a los detalles como el todas las características del auto porque por lo que entiendo, lo hacen demasiado rápido la primera vez que se agrega, como la actualización de mclaren, por ejemplo. Este juego también necesita más funciones y contenido para que no parezca aburrido y mantenga viva a la base de fans o a los jugadores. En lo demás estoy de acuerdo contigo. W content Matt

14:22 why am i here, anyway this video is exactly what i expected and im sorry that comment was horribly insulted

Great video. Long post but bear with me cos I really liked your perspective. Aye can agree on many things like 1. physics only leaning towards understeer especially FRs only oversteering on power and never ON braking... I have been gabbing about it since 2020... 2. and the cars severely understeering at low speeds. I've been on touges and if there's enough of corner and steering input you can slide at 50kph... 3. and rally mode not getting updated... I am still hoping I could get my Evo 6 rally car so I can finally quit... but the gravel and snow handling is so grippy it feels like it won't matter... And multiplayer rooms not being customisable other than player nos and track. BUT I feel I have to play the devil's advocate here because: since day one, the game has been review bombed by hundreds, if not thousands of people who can't drive, that it is "too oversteery and undrivable". Not undriftable, undrivable. The drift physics in the early days was not so good, I immediately started drifting well enough when they fixed the cars spinning out all the time, but that's another issue.(I was spinning out on 250hp E30 M3 btw) When you get people who hasn't learned the ABC of driving who just maxxed out their cars to make 800hp and complain when it doesn't move like they want it to, then you have to make concessions. Also, about multiplayer not being improved: nobody takes this game seriously. It is a mobile, and you play with your nick. In random lobbies, more than half of the players quit during races when things are not going well for them. If the collision is allowed, everyone will crash into each other due to their lack of training and bad reflexes(we are talking about the likes of GT3 cars here. Although they are arcadey, they are pretty bloody quick. I sometimes practice crash avoiding against other players but it's frustrating because most of the time they drive out of racing line and behave erratically like braking early and jumping back into track because they overshot it. So I just play other games) Devs can make customisable lobbies, and that would be brilliant, but that would go against their sales strategy of better import gacha cars = winning cars. As for the Anime collab... oh dear. Don't you folks like Initial D? That's an anime in my book. The problem with HighSpeed Etoile, as I mentioned is, they forgot that racing gamer or just racing population in general like to think of themselves as serious people. Yes, some racing fans do like anime, like myself, but it's all about the tone, isn't it? HighSpeed Etoile didn't seem to take its main characters any seriously and seem to have designed them as eye candies worthy of their faces and bodies being stenciled onto cars for the amusement of certain male fans, while their male character counterparts are photorealistic human beings, and that ruins the immersion immediately if you ask me. Compare that to actually good racing animes like Capetta, Overtake! Even Initial D, MF Ghost, and Wangan Midnight(I really do not like Wangan for reasons but I have to give it due credit). All of their characters move within their worldbuilding and the styles the artists have given to that world. HSE does not. Some folks mistook my criticism of HSE as some weird radicalised feminist argument, and while it could be said it has some of that aspect if you squint wee bit too hard, my argument was ultimately about immersion and consistency. Yes, you people have immediately recognised the un-seriousness of HSE and rightly so. You recognise when the directors of certain animes treat you like immature hooligans, and you are right to not like it. Personally, I think business-wise, it was a good call for AR devs to collab with HSE. If one does not like the car, then they have the choice to simply ignore it and not get one. It's the "other essential and long wanted update being delayed by this silly anime" part is what matters. As for the actual cars, the Ami and the other red imaginary Formula car... are a hoot to drive. Much more interesting and exciting than Superformula Cars, actually... except that they are E-Prix cars and therefore do not have gear change. They are oversteery, powerful, and wild. I like them. I can ignore the looks, and realism slash immersion doesn't really bother me because there was a time when AE86 bodykit car used to do sub-6 minutes on the Nurburgring, and many maxxed out regular cars can do low to mid 6 minutes. That is NOT realistic at all in my book. Idk, I might be speaking from a perspective of someone who has given up a long time ago and does not care that much. I just lean back and speed drift my 160hp AE86 every now and then for a good laugh. And thar's good enough for me.

What a great video man! It really shows the state of the Game rn... For me i am in the same state as Loxan who you asked for his opinion. I started Assoluto like three years ago played it for one Year and really enjoyed it. Then i changed my Smartphone and didnt install it again. Like half a year ago i Downloaded it again and did not see anything new exept some cars and the token system. They really fell off with the imput they put into the game, sadly...

Hi. I'm not a fan of Assoluto. I took a look at it in 2019 and it didn't click. Still, I can tell that you've put a lot of love and effort into the video, and I appreciate it a lot. Your English is very good, anyone who tells you otherwise is insincere. Good luck and have a good day friend! The video was certainly worth 30 minutes of my day.

Nice video brother! Also your english,its reálky good man. Keep it up

excellent job, and well done on your English! you spoke with a great pace. :)

very underrated video please do more video like this about FR Legends and Car Parking Multiplayer

i remember playing this game when it had the old analog gauges its sad to see that they ruined it

24:16 I’m famous

Greed really killed the game. I hate how they locked the new cars behind a lottery ticket and you can even get duplicates

Personal experience: I played for a year, then left, then return, left for a year or 2, then returned. Somehow, the game makes loading time for old tracks 5 times longer due to addition of new layouts, and newer tracks+cars near unplayable for phones of my range. Worst of all, nothing significant was added since the removal of Dodge, not even the buggy UI or non-existent career mode OR the downright crappy racing mode were improvised. It's crazy, a game promised the best sim-driving experience would deliver a beta-version level of product quality even after almost 10 years since release. The small indie dev team does not convince me to play their game, because this game does not look like 10 years of efforts. This is by far the closest to a Gran Turismo mobile spiritual successor (knowing that ex-devs of GT are also part of this project), but for a game with "racing" in its title, that's a horrible racing game. If there is a better alternative, I'd switch in an instant. There are 2, by the way. One is CarX Drift Racing (not Street). Very similar in gameplay, but progressive by skill and almost every car is possible to unlock, plus it's physic engine is close to reality enough to get a grasp of the driving. However, it's a niche drift game, and it's since followed the niche without making the game more of a driving simulator game. But the second one, well, play GT if AR doesn't cut it. Gran Turismo 2 is able to be emulated on Duckstation, available for mobiles, and take up less than 1gb. Despite the graphic visual, its physic engine still holds up strong, and 10-folds the content, both tracks, cars, and the information of said cars. Every special cars are accessible through finishing special races, not Gacha, the game doesn't require wifi to play, and better yet, there are RACING, and the bots are geniunely competitive. And all that from a game that's around 15 years older than AR. AR to me is the prime example of "how NOT to copy a game", and why the core experience matters more than the new contents. With that said, I hope the devs could learn a thing or 2 over the course of the game's run time, and if possible, a replacement on the misopportunity. Edit: Car weeb here. Love how you address the "eyesore" liveries, because in Japanese, "Ita" means pain, "sha", car. Itasha, pain car. A car that kills you with anime cringe. A pretty common thing in Japanese car culture. So they indeed did their job, but then again, doesn't save the game.

Thanks for making this in emglish, i didnt see your channel already but this is cool

Haven't played that game in a while, had no idea it had gotten that bad. Also ur english is completely understandable, keep it up!

As a modder on the new modding discord (even though im inactive af there), the day ar was killed was when they killed modding for me

This game was the best time waster back in my college days. Hooning around arines ring and competing against friends on track leaderboards using our own Evo X setups. Good days. Physics updates and subscriptions ruined it tho.

It was a really good game way back when I started playing it in 2017, but when I re-downloaded it a few years later, it was a hard fall off

I love the Muye vibe I'm getting from this video. Good effort.

Finally, a video on the current condition of AR. Honestly the biggest problem is the gacha system and some of the car sounds, for example the M5 E60 sounding like a vacuum cleaner. Sad really, such a good game.

This was a fantastic video essay on the game! And I Couldn’t even tell it was your first English video, you speak better than most native English speakers I’ve spoken to!

The rewards for the 8th anniversary login stuff were actually good, they gave out like 100 gold and 1 import ticket per day in the last 10 days, it made it easier to get stuff for the super formula update

great vid bro really puts the thought of the community in this video overall i won't day assoluto is bad i still enjoy it but we need new content multiplayer feels like racing with ghosts and stuff

Fun fact: developers are making a drag racing game based on Tokyo

Money laundering Good video matt

I stopped playing after the that crossover update when it broke multipalyer but I discovered Drift Runner and GRID Autosport, had so much fun since.

You are under rated! I mean look at this hardwork

Crazy how I got recommended this video about a week after I downloaded the game, but I'm yet to even get into it. 💀

The moment I lost interest in the game was when they started to lock certain cars behind gacha walls or only buyable with premium currency. Not only that, with every update, the only new car avaiable to purchase with Cr is usually the crappiest car (eg the Copen in the last update). Assoluto started out great but it eventually was filled with average F2P mobile game bs. Also Idk if it's fixed or not but the last time I checked, the controller support of this game is an absolute pos.

Toilet event marked for me at least the game becoming worse. My favourite part of the game was drifting for fun, but they changed the physics and it just isnt as fun anymore... On the other hand, changed physics gave me inspiration to do driving school and other gamemodes for different car tiers. But after all that is done, there isnt much more reason to come back and drive Such a shame.

the developers had missed the biggest opportunity to every popular sim-racing games, adding mods in the game, It could've been THE Assetto Corsa of mobile.

I thought I was the only one who thought the cars were very hard to turn in, I genuinely thought it was a skill issue lol. Nice video

don't know much about other mobile racing games, but I definitely love Static Shift Racing

reality is if you get into sim racing sooner or later you're gonna invest in a rig so there's just no way a mobile game can satisfy you for very long. Mobile can retain arcade players pretty easily since they are less likely to be hungering for more immersion, but if you're chasing that sense of realism and control sooner or later you're gonna get exposed to the drug that is a ffb wheel.

Finally someone made a video about the current situation of the game. It truly is a shame that they aren't giving the demographic player base any attention. Suggestions by the community would've made the game ahead of any racing sim games on mobile. It truly is a shame

I used to love this game. mainly because how the game was meant to be a few years ago. this is one of the few games I'm willingly spent some cash just to appreciate the devs who worked the game. I was completely fine with the import (gacha) system when it just there to spark some motivations and not forcing you to gamble. and that was completely acceptable. I lost interest to the game when they pushed more and more graphical updates just to make the graphics looks unnatural and destroy the performance of the game. a few updates later I decided to leave the game when they start showing their progress to a different directions when they collaborated with all these nonsense. it shows that they forget what their players are there for all this year. there's no future for this game

GTR2 works with Winlator...dynamic weather and time of day...60 car grids...I get 60+ FPS on my S21. If you can get controls working, it would be best mobile sim experience by a mile.

HEAVILY underrated video, i look forward to more english content

The biggest problem of the devs of AR imo is: They're way too focused on adding new features to the game that dont add on anything and are only hot-lap related, while they could instead start adding new game modes to the career mode (such as actual races with proper AI's and challenges including overtaking, endurance, etc including the option of changing the race time and weather.), new set of licenses tests and more tracks, its pointless to have a lot of cars being added but not a single new track to use them (they didnt add a single new track since the aoyama touge and the forest path new layouts)...

I loved this game. I got it in 2020 and it was one of my favorite games during quarantine. But when the physics started changing,is when i started to lose interest. The porsche update did make me happy,but only for a short time. And then the subscription plan happened,and the Vtuber update,and then HighSpeed Etoile was the final nail in the coffin. I stil check in to assoluto racing,but i now mainly play apex racing,a smaller game than assoluto racing,but its where im happy :)

Honestly this is why I just download emulators on my phone and run gran turismo psp and grant turismo 4 on my phone - 1 million times better. This game just put me off more and more overtime

Racing people on the Touge track during my lunch breaks was a good

9:54 fun times :) great vid matt

Right now i only open AR only if there was gift and ticket for the cars, i have never actually racing in the game no more, im only collecting cars at this point

Thank you, Matt. AR has been one of the most fun games for all of us. The game needs to be saved and I hope the better for this game and the community.

Great video i miss old assoluto ive been playing since 2016 and i have almost all Cars, Game won't optimize and My phone isnt slow also too much pay to get stuff seem like devs got greedy and don't care about the game anymore

Like every other game with gambling system, the more car is added the lower your chance to get the car, lack of tuning option etc.. this year i am spending more time in other game such as Gran Turismo and Car Parking Multiplayer 1 & 2 Alpha the only game where gacha is non existent, yes it has two currencies which you can get via 3 daily task or skip it with irl money but in the end everybody can get the car and every car doesn't have some of its modification lock like Assoluto Racing, you'll spend more time adjust your modification on those two game more than Assoluto Racing and that's only the tip of the iceberg explained.

Banger vid Matt!!!🎉

Currently i play grid autosport, it's a paid game but the content is good and has good graphics since it's a conversion from console, the physics is a mix between arcade and simulator but it's lean more toward simulator as it has realistic "wind" physic, tyre de-form, suspension system, even engine failure and gearbox failure if you push it too much, you can feel the car will oversteer in slow corner and understeer in fast corner and you can feel the increase in downforce as the car speeds up, the tyre will also loss its grip if you touch grass or dirt too much and what amazing you can break the suspension system as the whole car is not 1 render but it function individually and not mention the AI is very aggressive almost like a real player, they are fast makes little to no mistake so it's not an easy game, it's a huge learning step if you only play RR3 because even with traction control and ABS you still can spin and and lock the wheel.

alas finally someome said about this after 4 years the game isn't the same as it used to be i started playing on Nur update and everything was so optimized and proper till the more and more updates after that thing just gets horribly laggy i also joined AR modding before and it's honestly the peak moment of AR. but things after that the game just really gotten boring for me the update are just no longer hype just new cars for gachas after months of waiting yet no new things to try out i still hope they start focusing on things are really lacking rather than adding new cars might as well remodel some cars.

i was introduced to assoluto racing back in 2020. The game was very² fun to play. The rewards are big enough if i remember. The car that i want to get it from import is the mazda rx7 race spec. I tried my best to get import tickets and even grind 5 hours straight lol...when i try to gamble, my dream come true...i got the rx7 race spec and i was so very² happy back then...i used it when it comes to drift/race. But on 2021, i left the game cuz im tired of playing it lol...when i came back the game in late 2022, i realized that theres still no changes in the game...i feel like the game is boring...but im still playing it...cruising on nurburgring or drifting...in 2023-2024, the game itself is very boring...like the "highspeed etoile" collaboration...the import cars are boring to use even the X car...i dont like to use it tbh cuz its slow so im still using my rx7 race spec cuz its good, fast, can drift smoothly...when they announce 8th anniversary update, im very hype cuz i feel like they're going to add racetracks such as the LeMans which was my favorite...but when the update comes out, dang...still no new racetracks...its just 2 formula cars and even the toyota gt-one...i tried my luck just to get the formula but when i pulled it, im not very hype...my coins are like 4,120 to 120 ...dang what a total waste but still manage to get that car...for me, the 8th anniversary is not very hype cuz no racetracks...yea...

I remember playing this game when it was new with that Peugeot RCZ, i always thought it has the potential to be something big, like an assetto corsa for mobile, but being for mobile i know it's not gonna happen, they'll just chase profits instead of polishing the game

Im playing AR episodicaly for 2 or so years already, and only now im hearing about differential being locked all the time. I was never able to understand before, why no matter what i do RWD cars were incapable to turn properly into the slow corners...

I uses to play it last year! It was fun...

I started playing AR since around May/June last year. Right now my lv sits at 74 and global ranking 119270, ingame id dmclvs if you wonder. As someone who didn't pay anything for the game, I have to say that it takes an arduous amount of time before it actually becomes entertaining. The main problem I had was accessing real high-performance cars, which are mostly locked in the gacha mechanism. Through my experience of owning 20+ S+ class cars, most are purchased some I got from import, I really only find a few cars to be actually competitive and the rest are just for collecting purposes and I drive them much less often. My main car now is the rx7fd rs, not the RE Amemiya kit, just the one that can be purchased from the manufacturer. Although TVR Sagaris have 20 more hp, rx7fd's turbo can actually boost the car up to 400kph+ on the nurburgring. The only car that can surpass this is probably the GTR R35 but thats another question. For me, Assoluto Racing is pretty much just a mobile nurburgring simulator. I don't record driving other tracks often if at all, hence why my lv is so high, because I use nurburgring laps in free run mode to test setups, and see what time can I get, each time it gives 4000 ish xp. I really agree with the multiplayer part, IV need to seriously improve the multiplayer mechanics. I think the main reason they are not doing that is because the single player content is so hollow everyone would probably be on multiplayer, which costs server resources for IV. Also, I would really like to see a reworked Tokyo expressway, given they are able to put the entire nurburgring in game, they should try put in a 1:1 shutoko, Daikoku pa spawn point+bayshore expressway(wangan)+tatsumi 1st pa+c1 loop line. This would simply make AR the best mobile game for both track and street racing, which the latter is yet to see any competitor on mobile, or on PC even, because there is only really shutoko revival project for Assetto Corsa that can provide a better experience. This maybe too long for a youtube comment but I really appreciate your video

If assoluto made the modding into an actual feature, it would be great a game that has this feature is truck simulator ultimate. Assoluto would be the asseto corsa on mobile. But the devs don't listen to the player and only care about money.

This. Ive played AR since 2021, and one thing i have noticed especially when watching gran Turismo videos, is that there is a sense of progress. Take GT4, once you beat the GTWC you get the cover car of the game, and the ending movie plays. Of course, the game is still playable after that, but the fact is that the buildup to the GTWC and the ending movie makes you feel like "Holy shit. I did it." Compared to assoluto racing in its current state, the only sense of progress you get is the driving classes and the modified and unmodified races. After that, its just "Now what?". In short, AR is the mobile version of Gran Turismo, but only the arcade mode. The game lacks progression and the recent Highspeed Etoile collaboration isn't exactly making it look like "The Next-Gen Mobile Racing Simulation"

7:09 correct as it relates to traction control issue

Bastante bien explicado assoluto tiene buenas bases para ser un buen simulador en movil pero carece de cariño por los desarrolladores entre otros problemas como la falta de actualizaciónes que añadan contenido atractivo y que se aproveche de tener las mejores fisicas en movil o también la falta de atención al cliente y de mantención en los servidores online

The only game I installed for long time period that never uninstalled. Even though I sometimes complain. But I remember AR is best simulation racing game I know(mobile package). At the end being the only game that I play at my phone. 😅

This game is pretty nostalgic for me but man the gacha system is horrible. I understand the need to make money, but you’d probably get more cars from a Forza Horizon car pack for cheaper than if you’d spend the same amount on AR’s casino. If we could just buy cars directly I think a lot more people would invest in the game and keep playing the game for longer.

Matt, which version of AR do you think is the best? Like the best one before all the shitty update took place?

In 2024 i still got to understeer in a rwd car even though i trail braked, gradualy steer, and with the right apex
