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

[TexasTyme214]

Wonder if this means Pirelli gave SMS their exact specifications for GT3 tires?

I wondered about that too. If so, it gives me a lot of hope for the all the harder compounds to work better.

PRC guy driving NSX at RBR. AI running the Manthey Porsche GT3.

Looks fantastic, but it seems like a very odd way to announce the Porsche license, so I'm guessing it slipped through the official marketing net somehow.

I was hoping to see something new this week

 

[Konan]

...first something old,than something borrowed (the blue was already shown)

 

[jake2013guy]

That's nice. Wonder if we're going to see any GT4 570S variants.

But you missed the "Something New" between the Something Old and Something Borrowed..........

There's still a chance the day just started. I'm hoping and guessing they will drop it on us today to end the week though . If not then a little disappointing but hopefully there will be a weekend clue car..

 

[Elitekilla29]

I can't wait to play this damn game.

 

[05XR8]

At least it's a new livery. We'll see if there are more than six choices this time.
Just trying to picture the 2016 Bathurst 12H winning 650S GT3.

Early leaked screenshots appeared to show Porsches already.

Spoiler

GT3 R.

918.

935 K3.

SMS will just be biding their time to drop the Porsche bombshell.

No. Only the 2 from yesterday.

There were some comments made on the pCARS Forum about the sound from the Acura NSX in that video. The comments were negative, but I thought the audio sounded pretty damn good.

So I decided to reach out to a Twitter "friend" for his opinion. The Twitter friend just happens to be Honda Factory Driver of the #43 Real Time Acura NSX GT3 in the Pirelli World Challenge, Ryan Eversley. Here's his reaction........

I just thought others might want to know what a pro driver, who actually races this exact car thought.

 

[LogiForce]

Case closed! Next (argument)!

 

[Satco1066]

some kids think, cars should sound like in blockbuster cinema.
If it does not, it cannot be RL.

Capitals please.

 

[mister dog]

Capitals please.

Washington, Brussels, Madrid, London, Berlin?

I'll get me coat.

I think he prefers Sydney.

 

[nrosko]

That's the cockpit view. He just moved it where he wishes it to be. However, a dash cam might or might not happen, we (well I) don't know yet.



You can tune the HUD like you wish too. He moved the tachometer at the center of the screen and removed the rest of the HUD. It doesn't come like that by default.

The tachometer hud is not that great imo & in its current build is quite ugly when it flashes to change gear, i hope it just a place holder. The sidekick mod you get in AC is much better than that imo & you can change what it displays on the fly.

Yeah i thought the sound was really convincing as well & also read a few people moaning.

 

[Dsavage27]

No cars revealed this week

Week isn't over yet.

It does sound great and I'm all for reality in sims, but I really hope SMS give the player comprehensive options to tweak and remap audio to personal preference. Not everyone will always want heavily damped and muffled cockpit audio filtered through virtual earplugs, Nomex balaclava and crash helmet, no matter how realistic it might be.

Sometimes you just want to have that screaming engine, raspy exhaust note and explosive downshifts in full effect for the most visceral audio experience possible, and not everyone will want to switch to external cameras just to get it. We'll be getting comprehensive visual tweaking options in pCARS 2 so hopefully that level of freedom will also apply to the audio.

Who says what you hear is a representation of sound through a helmet and ear plugs? Doesn't sound like that to me in the nsx video. Maybe you can get clarification from a Dev.

So you want to hear the exhaust instead of the engine while you're in the car?

 

[CorvetteConquer]

Lots of cars next week.

Reported him multiple times to the Internet police.

 

[FuriousDemon]

I think the S makes a difference Typo.

I'd like the option to be able to if the mood takes me.
