Ok
-physics 500 times better than any other game ever on console(and better than every other PC sim too)
-The most detailed car models ever seen
-full 24 hour time progression and weather system on every track
-really really good engine sounds (better than everything else on console)
-40 car grids on consoles
-big big gt3 selection
-it's got 140mph karts. Enough said.
I really wouldn't bother waiting for reviews when so many people on this site that already play it share their opinions and experiences, the thing you can trust more than shoddy reviews.
So the Physics are better than any Sim as well? Enlighten me as to how you have come to that conclusion. Have you ever tried Assetto Corsa? Probably not, otherwise you wouldn't be spouting such rubbish.

Are you talking about Huayra or Zonda? Maybe you're confused.PCARS definitely gets closer than Forza 5 and GT6 by far. But then I compared PCARS to the real life Zonda by @GranTurismo guy and I noticed on the outside hood or roof view PCARS is very quiet. In real life its as loud as the rear camera near the exhaust. That's what I noticed PCARS get wrong it was quiet in that view. Overall the real thing is more pronounced with more authority. A bit louder and it sounds that bit more powerful. But then again its the real thing. I'm totally impressed at certain points throughout the video where it sounds extremely close to the real thing but short periods. But again it's extremely close and it's definitely the closest over any console or PC by far and its truly groundbreaking. Something for PD and T10 to think about in their future games.
Just one gripe, one question to @GranTurismo guy. The Pagan Cinque Roadster has 678 BHP and the Tricolore have slightly less at 670 BHP. They are probably the same engine with slightly different tuning. They both have the same Inconel/titanium exhaust system coated with ceramic. And so I would like to see the real life Cinque roadster vs the in game one instead of the Tricolore even if both cars sound are extremely similar. They might not there might be slight difference that maybe is or isn't noticeable. They are a different model after all. Please note I know I am just being meticulous now right down to the minuscule detail. But it wouldn't hurt to compare the correct model of the car to the in-game one.
I think you're confused mate, console versions do have real-time weather, but what you're talking about is probably real world synchronization, which means on consoles the game won't check weather reports and adjust weather accordingly. Not a big loss honestly.IIRC, consoles don't allow for the external interface that would make that possible...or something like that.
Yes that's what I meant.I think you're confused mate, console versions do have real-time weather, but what you're talking about is probably real world synchronization, which means on consoles the game won't check weather reports and adjust weather accordingly. Not a big loss honestly.
No, you made it wrong, I was including Asetto Corsa. I believe the many people on here that tell me that PCARS surpasses it's physics and have backed this statement up more than sufficiently.Here you go rooster I corrected his post for him.
Really, please share! I have been an avid reader of this forum and can't remember seeing any posts to back up your statement.No, you made it wrong, I was including Asetto Corsa. I believe the many people on here that tell me that PCARS surpasses it's physics and have backed this statement up more than sufficiently.
How about you share instead of posting sarcastic replies and labelling my legitimate post as "rubbish"?Really, please share!
I'm not, but if you post a comment you state as fact then please back it up with proof. Have you played AC?How about you share instead of posting sarcastic replies and labelling my legitimate post as "rubbish"?
I haven't played either. Did I say that I have?I'm not, but if you post a comment you state as fact then please back it up with proof. Have you played AC?
I'm not, just asking for evidence of his extravagant claimsChecks thread title.....
....nope not a PCars vs AC thread.
Either start a thread to compare those two or leave it, if either of you turn this one into a PCars vs AC thread you will be getting a holiday.
And I'm telling you to end it now.I'm not, just asking for evidence of his extravagant claims

I do not believe PCARS can top Forza in terms of engine sounds, but then again I could be wrong as I haven't played the game. The sounds could be hit and miss, as IS the case with some F5 cars. I've watched a tonne of vids on Youtoob and the cars don't sound right in replays. Also between shifts... where's that off-throttle raspiness?
Anyhow, I'm not passing judgement, until I play the game for myself. It could be a Forza killer for sure, but FM6 is arriving and it'll be VERY interesting to own both.
That's tough man. The X1's controller is very robust and comfortable. Plus you're going to love the rumble triggers for racing games. Get an X1 if you can. Good time to be a console sim lover!
Funny you should mention the f1, that's gotta be one of the best for sound accuracy in PCARSSorry for the double post. Realized after posting last post I'd had another window open which I never followed through my last reply to Speedster. *cough* sorry *cough*
I think you will be pleasantly surprised with some cars especially the Zonda Cinque. It sounds tremendously like the real Tricolore video. You would have to reserve judgement as you say like I am and wait and test say a McClaren F1 that is in both games and test them only for sound and maybe driving physics.
But thats as far as comparison goes. I wouldn't say it's a Forza killer. It is in terms of being a pure racing simulation. But that depends on what you look for in the game. I will enjoy PCARS for the pure racing realism of stock road cars and race cars, and simulation. A game that will be dedicated to a real life racing career with all the right race regulations, rules, codes of conduct etc...
Both games are completely in different domains. They aren't even in the same genre. Because PCARS is serious and dedicated only with racing only it doesn't have Upgrade parts, customization and painting etc.. such as a rounded motorsports game like Forza or GT both have. But Forza I feel won't get the realism of a real racing career as PCARS. Its competing in a different space. I will love both Forza and PCARS for their completely separate aims and goals and what they both do best.
Yeah I can't wait for FM6 either. I think FM will only get better and better. And I hope they keep improving the driving physics because they can always improve it. I enjoy playing FM5 and FH2 on my Xbox One. And the controller like you say does feel more robust, more durable and better well built than my PS4 controller.

(Try and ignore the screaming she also swears, be warned)
Forza 5 sounds good too

PCARS captures that sexy intake bark better IMOFM5 sounds the most accurate. PCARS sounds like 16-bit SNES/PS2 era sounds.
Just my opinion.
I'm guessing by your reactionWow, that commercial... Beautiful.
Correct on both accounts. I suppose it's possible they aired it in limited release during races and not during normal broadcasting.I'm guessing by your reaction
A. You haven't seen it before? And therefore
B. they didn't air it in America?
Just seeing it for the first time too!! That last gas rev sent chills down my spineCorrect on both accounts. I suppose it's possible they aired it in limited release during races and not during normal broadcasting.
PCARS captures that sexy intake bark better IMO
Another audio comparison?
Go to 6:46 for this one
Aaaaaaaand my favourite advert ever
If I'm honest I don't think the sample used in fm5 is all that great, the one it uses for the Gallardo sounds much closer and I don't know why they're not using it.Yes the sound from the Forza 5 Game is uncannily and frighteningly close to the real Audi R8 .
I find that pcars and forza both have some inconsistencies, but overall they have excellent audio.^^ Granted, FM5 has a few audio inconsistencies here and there, but for the most part, I strongly believe it is the BEST sounding console driving game to date on current gen.
Well, one day to go... all that might change!
