Project CARS 2 General Discussion Thread - Out Now on PS4/XB1/PC

[diesel97]

Yeah we did what everyone else does at E3 and brought the slowest computing entity we could muster...

I understand that just hoping for some console video love

I can say that PS4 is running those setting.

Soooo can we expect similar quality to this E3 gameplays on standard PS4 ?

Yes, 1080p with those detail levels.

What kind of magic did you have to use to make the game work even with the livetrack and other improvements on the same hardware?

 

[doblocruiser]

Yes, 1080p with those detail levels.

Wow!

Does it run on 30 or 60 FPS on the base PS4?

Hellish amounts of work to get us to 60FPS 1080p basically, the team have worked wonders if I may say so. We're still getting some drops in very heavy areas and we're focusing on those now.

 

[doblocruiser]

Not that I notice a huge difference between 30 and 60 but call me impressed. Damn, really thought it wasn't possible but it seems it is. Kudos to you and your team 👍

@IanBell Since you are online here, is there anything Le Mans related that you guys are going to share this weekend? Will PCARS2 be at Le Mans?

 

[MroczMR]

Yes, 1080p with those detail levels.

I am 100% satisfied with that. I was expecting worse

I hope everything will run smoothly on PS4
But to be honest. Project Cars 1 was very nicely optimized on PS4. There were some problems here and there, but nothing game breaking I am still having fun in Project Cars 1

Portimão looks stunning
Great videos

I go to bed, get up, go to the dentist, buy Twinkies and Pop Tarts and I come home to this!

Congrats to the team. I know they are all very hard working and passionate guys, so not surprised that they keep pushing hard on what's technically possible.

I suppose the rain at night on the starting grid is where it's going to be dropping down, but I don't think there is much you can do about that without sacrificing the quality for the other 99% of the time.

This game is very underrated visually. Looks gorgeous.

 

[jake2013guy]

Well. After watching that gameplay you can see how much the AI is improved despite being on a lower difficulty when they raced amongst themselves. Never have I watched these videos and thought how right it looked before now.

 

[Seb02]

Ian,
The videos are very beautiful. To achieve this result, it took a lot of work. What I like is that the game will be stable on PS4. Congratulations to the whole team. I would like to ask a question about the online championships : will it be possible to fill it with AIs and what will be the maximum grid online on console? thanks

 

[RomKnight]

Portimão looks and feels stunning
Great videos

FTFY. Trust me on this one

Sacked Stig shows something we like!

Ian, will pCARS 2 be fully optimised to take advantage of the extra power of the PS Pro? I assume it will be, but can't recalling seeing anything specifically about this. The Pro's Boost Mode worked wonders on the frame rate stability and screen tearing (wet races are a dream on the Pro now) but that was a quick fix and only uses some of the extra grunt available - will the full power of the Pro be unleashed this time?

FTFY. Trust me on this one

Let me believe you
Great game incoming

I think that's the first we've seen of the Ferrari Enzo, haven't seen it on the car list before.

I like the replay playback controls.

Same here.

In my opinion, the standards of all games have risen so much they all look great. It is picking nits over which one looks better at this and that. You better have more on offer than "looks" these days.

Time to reveal Ferrari and lambo SMS

The car was bicycling. (tears of joy)

Wow! What a lot of videos and info to wake up to.
The game is looking gorgeous and the racing looks intense.

I'm going to surpass my 2000 hours on PCARS1 with this.
