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

[Northstar]

Looks like a controller there.

I thought so. It's a very good sign if someone can sort-of control the cars using the default controller settings with little to no experience with the physics.

Now I just need to see how the career mode is laid out before I pull the trigger.

Another interview with Andy Tudor. Different people this time. Just starting watching it now. Got some gameplay at Algarve.


"They have dynamic weather? That's adorable compared to what we have."
"It's adorable they're getting to 4k."

Andy watches IndyCar.

Good interview, Andy talking about all the new features in pcars2 just inspires more confidence in the game, especially after the forza and gts trailers which just seem all style and no substance.

And one thing I noticed from the gameplay footage is how awesome the headlights look, just reflecting off the bumpers of the cars ahead looks great.

Looking around Twitter, I'm seeing somebody with the handle @AOD_WeDGE posting short videos of PC2 from home. Although nice, it's a bit suspicious that he said shhh. An official confirmation would be nice. Off to bed.

Most likely logged in on a WMD member's account.

Omg, look at the graphics. Sure GTS has super realistic looking headlights/rearlights but look at the freaking lightning reflection effects. wow... Colour me impressed by that. PC2 is an underdog but holy moly...

 

[Animera]

The more I see and hear about this game the more I can't wait to get my grubby paws on it.
Everything just seems so realistic, I can see some epic races coming.

On the official forum, it is said that we can add IA on the online championship. I then asked if it was possible to fill the online championship with only IA, I was told yes.

Has anyone confirmed that?
And do you have an idea of the maximum grid on console in Online?
Thank you

I need video and more car reveal. Actually, a 15 minute changing conditions race, pit stop, using 4 multi-class racing- LMP, GT3/GTE, GT4, TCC/TCR. Please and thank you.

Project CARS 2 is the pre-release benchmark for racing games just now. No other game comes close to the content and features this game has. I felt burned by pCARS1 but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't hype as hell about this.

 

[NaRP]

I have some doubt on several points.
AI - I hope a real hard work in AI, because many players was disappointed to AI in Pcars1. At this moment, I'm not convinced at all about a better AI in Pcars2. Specially when human don't follow help line, like AI cars.

You doubt the AI in the original Project CARS? It was the best AI I have ever encountered in a racing game. And I am not alone in this sentiment. Was it perfect AI? Nah, but, again, probably the best ever.

I'm agree with you. Ian Bell too. I just say, a point can be improve, when human don't follow raceline.
Example : in video near 0:26 at 0:28.
Maybe a solution is to set a crewchief for AI, to detect human car ? why not.
And this is the only point i know. All the rest is OK, i think.

I agree with you except for the open wheel (formula A ...). Looks like touring.

[Uncle Ed]

The First & third videos show how much the tyres are working. I can nearly "feel" the difference.
That Algarve circuit. Oh yes. it's going to be a favorite using a touring car.

 

[PzR Slim]

All hail the new King!

Looks absolutely stunning and the feature list is one that the other two games can only dream of. Anyone who is moaning and arguing about GTS & FM7 needs to look at these vids. I'll be buying all three of them but if I could only choose one it would be PC2 every single time.

RGR liveried Ligier and Gulf AMR :

 

[T0MMY3688]

Must be a lucky coincidence to see my R8 LMS livery in the E3 footage, at 2:50 onwards.

Happy day!

 

[doblocruiser]

RGR liveried Ligier and Gulf AMR :

And look at that dirt pickup 👍

 

[Uncle Ed]

As per the Escort, looks like we'll see PC1 liveries as well. No headlights for one of the IMSA Zs.

 

[wicken]

The footage above is PC or PS4?

Wowww Shots fired lol

 

[Scuderia Paul]

Those 5 videos are absolutely stunning. Also, I'm delighted to see the RGR and Gulf liveries on the Ligier and Aston Martin respectively in the Instagram post. It's highly probable that we will see Gulf for the Aston Martin DBR1-2 as well.

 

[bleeder]

I'll admit that I was watching those videos and wincing every time the player car would slide to its limit and have to be corrected as i was waiting for it to snap back and fly off in the other direction (a la pCARS1) but it never happened. That's massively exciting to me. The handling looks pretty sorted.

 

[Ian Bell]

That game looks good.

 

[diesel97]

What are the odds that someone from SMS brought a console to E3? We all known the game looks and runs great on the best computers but it would be nice to see how they optimized with less power.

The devil in me hopes it doesn't run that great on PS4 so that I finally get that kick in the pants I need to add an über PC gaming rig to my racing cockpit...

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

And the game looks like that well damn.

Oh dear. It's one of those SMS fanboys who is rational about their pointd.
