i drive all the classics every month to keep them running and ready in case he wants to use one. they are fun, but different. you don't shift in the 190 SL until 3,500 RPM in normal driving lol.
Project cars is good. They've done a lot of things right but there's a lot of things wrong too. The driving, sounds, and graphics are great. Especially the sounds. The Aston V8 Vantage GT4 is the series i'm in with my career right now and it sounds incredible. Another great example of the sounds are the tires. You can easily tell the difference between tire scrub and loss of traction. The environments look great, the cars look great but could actually be a little better. The driving is pretty good and really rewards weight control on older cars. Some of the classics are near impossible to drive with a controller because you have to be so precise with brakes and throttle and that's hard to do with a controller.
The UI really needs some work. A big complaint is that when you finish a race and you aren't in 1st place, the menu pops up and restart is the default button that's highlighted. So a lot of people are restarting races on accident lol. If you got first though it highlights continue by default.
The AI and collision really need some work though. As it is now, they can't race close to each other. They try to give each other a full car length of space side to side and that impossible when you are 2 or 3 wide going into turns. It sounds funny but most races start similar to GT6 online races. The AI just goes into turn one and they all wreck each other. when they do wreck, what should just be some bumps and scraping turns into a Michael Bay movie. I have a video that I will upload that is 15 minutes of restarting the race because I can't get through turn 1 and still have 4 wheels on my car lol. They also are really aggressive and dive bomb you on every single corner, even when they are pretty far back because they can out brake you every time.
The game just needs a little tuning and I'm sure once we get a few patches in it will all be better. After a few laps and everyone is spread out though the racing is sublime. I run with no aids and AI at 80% (default) and in the classics a 4th place finish after 15 laps felt really good. I wipe the floor with them when there's more grip though
scrap a wall and your body goes flying away, rear end someone and you don't have a hood. Get T-boned and your out of he race cause your frame is busted.
very cool. More pics and a video shortly. And I have some more nfs liveries on the way too.
