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

[PiotrGT]

Does the game work well on Xbox ONE S? I've heard the first one had some framerate issues on standard Xbox One and that the PS4 version played and looked better.

Nice to see you guys on the Simexpo @ Nurburgring.
Thx to Joe Barron for the info on the game.
Countdown to friday!

Pcars2 is built on Pcars1 code partly, of course. But what is the Pcars1 - Pcars2 ratio in the new code? @IanBell Thank you.

Do you mean with counting in huge amounts of new assets for new tracks, cars, 4k, HDR... or the rest of it without what I have mentioned?

The whole package this time.

Know what i'm surprise by? there hasn't been any street date broken copies out there yet?

i still remember this "Uncharted 4 street date broken as thieves steal copies"

Ive read about ten reviews, seems like it is a great improvement over the first. Most rewiewers are really enjoying it (high 80s low 90s). There is still a lot of talk about the bugs however. Just about all of them mentioned the "skip qualifying" bug. Should turn out just as I hoped though

I just watched the guy that does "Buy, Wait for Sale, Rent, or Trash" and he said wait for sale. Everything that matters immersion-wise is great but little things here and there. I doubt it will be that noticeable though.

Dear Mr. Bell,

I am truly anticipating the release of Pcars 2 and pre-ordered it right away on Steam, I immensely enjoyed the first one with a pad (500 hours logged) and once you configured the controls it truly felt incredible (I simply set it to Controller INput type 2 instead of the Default which was 1).

But I have a big concern (so big that I had to make an account here to post this question):



is it true that the PC Version of Project Cars 2 will include Anti-Tamper DRM DENUVO ?

I am asking this because me and many others detest Denuvo for giving an "expiration" date on the games that include it and being unable to Play offline if you have no Internet Connection for lets say 1 month (because Denuvo wants you to reconnect to the Internet every ~ 2 weeks)

If yes, can you say with confidence that you will/might remove it after a certain timeframe after release (like the devs of DOOM Remake did for example)?


I do not want to turn this into a pro/anti Denuvo discussion so it would nice if others users (beside Mr. Bell ofcourse) could refrain from answering.

Thanks in advance!

Having a look at the GamerMuscle stream, when you choose the same class in IndyCar, it has both the oval and road spec cars. Anyway to prevent this?

Pick identical car

Pick identical car

Then you'll just have one of the Hondas or Chevrolets.

 

[The_American]

nah, then you'll only get Chevy's or only get Honda's. Road/Oval kits shouldn't be mixed together for "Same Class" races. I'll check on it Jake.

Good point.

Would be useful to also check the LMP Group C Class. Will those cars be grouped the same or will it vary depending on the track?

In other news, there's this.

How comes people are unboxing their games all ready?

 

[V12orchestra]

How AI is ? Is it fast ? Can it be scaled ? Is framerate good on PC ? (if someone tried it) I am tempted to buy the deluxe edition , it costs 66 euros .

Probably won't know Day 1 pc performance until Nvidia releases the (expected) Driver Update.

Performances are terrible on AMD cards , i won't buy it for sure sadly . 1060 vs 580 is embarassing .

Won't know for sure until the Drivers are updated.
AMD is almost always behind the 8-ball on performance, though. Unless the game is made specifically for AMD, of course.

 

[LGee19]

Does anyone know how big the day 1 patch is for PS4?

 

[V12orchestra]

AMD 480 is on par with the GTX 1060 but this game is clearly not optimized for AMD hardware . AMD doesn't care just like SMS , i won't buy an AMD card never again . But again , this is mostly SMS fault , IAN assured me that AMD performance would have been much better this time but he clearly lied . 20 / 25 fps difference is unacceptable .

Totally agree on AMD's video cards. I am a long time AMD CPU user and still prefer them, but for video cards, it's nVidia all the way.

This time though it's SMS fault . I can understand 5 fps / 10 fps difference but not a huge gap like 20 fps . They won't get a new customer that's for sure .

The best course of action would be to wait until the GPU Driver Update before saying anything. Might save you from eating your shoe.

All this talk and all I want to do is download and play the damn game!

C'mon Friday!

Drivers won't fix a 20/25 fps fps difference , talking about 480 vs 1060 . They are cards of the same range ffs , they should be more or less equal .
