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

[Beezer215]

These are things that seem like they would benefit from you turning the aggression down. What are you using it at?
(although they do already defy the laws of physics on any level)
I don't know if any of you follow AMS2 because I think a lot are on console here but that's why you see AMS2 get an "AI Calibration Pass" each and every update they do. They really are on this task and they still have work to do, seems very complicated and I'm sure it's impossible to get perfect but they have already took it leaps beyond PC2.

 

[Chikane_GTR]

There won't be a PC4, our best hope is AMS2 on console.

But don't hold your breath.

? But what about this thread https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/thre...e-most-realistic-simulation-ever-made.397220/


It'll make me really sad if it goes back to just being gt and forza as the only racing games on console. Nothing against those games but there no where near the sim level of pcars 2.

 

[IfAndOr]

Anyone know what happen to Sick Cylinder and John Wells

They both have had issues outside of racing. Hopefully they will be back at some point.

Aggression is set on 80.

 

[Mr Grumpy]

AI aggression anywhere in between 60-70 for best results, start at 70 & if you feel they're banging into you just reduce it, at 60 they they move out your way slightly when overtaking, it depends on weather your in open or closed wheel cars, also don't base this on the first lap as this can mostly be a mess anyway.

Regarding your braking, I'd check to see if you're actually applying full brake when you push the peddle/trigger because I have no issues out braking the AI at 105-110

The reason why AMS2 has changed from a poorly received initial launch to arguably one of the best PC sim titles is Reiza’s pretty constant incremental updating. Unfortunately, it seems that the console update process doesn’t allow the same level of constant updating unless you are Sony affiliated like PD

 

[Fossilized]

It makes you wonder how good PC2 could have got if SMS hadn’t gone down the rabbit hole of lousy mobile games, lousy F&F games, and crack pipe dreams of building their own console…

All Reiza have done, to be fair, is refine PC2. If only SMS had their degree of focus.

If only Reiza had the same licences as Pcars 2 for cars and tracks, it would be the must.
AMS2 is what Pcars 1 meant to be in the very begining of the crowdfounding

Deluxe edition is on sale on Xbox (€9.99 / $8.99 / £7.49). Good opportunity to buy it before be delisted.

Japanese cars pack it's the only thing not included in that edition.

 

[GTvsForza]

Held it off long enough, but giving an Enduro another try. Had to quit the Daytona 24 due to burnout, but now I'm doing Le Mans! Set the time to 3pm Summer to make it accurate.

I'm running in the GTE Class with the Corvette, 1 hour in with the LMP1's finally lapping me and I'm reaching the GT3 back markers. Also just finished my first stint, so I should be pitting hourly.

 

[GTvsForza]

Update: 5 Hours in and got a comfortable lead in my class. Sun's almost dipped under the horizon, and can't wait for the night

Only one GT3 has retired after 36 Laps so far.

 

[kjb]

So after the 21st PC2 will be delisted. I just got a copy of PC1 complete edition off of eBay so I will have all three games

 

[GTvsForza]

I got PC1 Complete as a birthday gift when I first bought my PS4, then got 2 to see how it was. I wanted to do full enduros, but the poor old console didn't approve...

I then got 3 as it launched and it's still a fun game for small sprint races. Finally, once I got my Series S, I repurchased 2 and am now more capable of doing enduros using Quick Resume. Then sold my PS4 with the other games I didn't care for after I got my PS5.

 

[Daz555]

So Project Cars 2 is in its final day available to buy. Odd that it is still a staggering £44.99 on Steam.

Contemplating whether to buy the Season pass and Japanese pack on the Playstation store... Was hoping for a price reduction before I bite the bullet... but its still at full price.

I was doing the same thing, also hoping for a drop on the full game or deluxe so I could have the digital and ditch the disc, but I just grabbed the DLC at full price in the end.

Is the DLC worth it?
I bought the disc version on launch, but probably only put a few hours into the game. I haven't even completed one season of any discipline yet!
Would like to have the DLC - only reason is because of the fear of missing out once its unavailable.

I'm probably the wrong one to ask, only had a quick go yesterday, but vintage Le Mans is fantastic and the Ferraris are very nice.

Thanks for your feedback. So that's a positive for 2 of the packs. Might as well just grab the season pass and the Japanese pack while I can.

 

[Daz555]

I already had everything on PS4 but on PC I only had the base content. Just picked up the Season Pass for 6 quid on CDKeys.

 

[IfAndOr]

Is the DLC worth it?

Worth is very subjective, but personally I'd say yes, since you're getting quite a number of extra cars and tracks which all add to the experience. Even the Japanese pack has some interesting cars.

 

[Mr Grumpy]

I'd definitely buy the season pass over individual packs just for the noise of the Esperante GTR1, even if you're not interested in some of the dlc at least you'll get the motorsports pack with this beast in it

 

[Fossilized]

To be honest, I’d be content with the content that AMS2 provides. What really interests me are the FFB fixes and physics and tire model improvements, especially curb behavior, and the apparent massive improvements to the AI. PC players are getting quite enthusiastic about the latest AMS2 upgrades, let’s hope Reiza get enthusiastic to bringing it to latest gen consoles. They got the horsepower (AMS2 runs well on fairly modest PC’s) in a PS5, if not the PS4Pro.

I honestly dread the day PC4 comes out, I have no confidence in the direction the new owners will want to take it after the disaster that the original developers took it…

‘Help me Reiza, you’re my only hope!’

 

[05XR8]

That’s the thing, I’d recommend getting everything based on choices. I still haven’t driven every car since the game’s debut. Not for disliking anything. I’m just stuck on liking certain disciplines.

 

[Jtheripper]

Im in the same boat as many, im only missing the Japanese pack i think it is, with the 280zx race car in it.
So that too will be delisted i guess.
Wondering if ill get it, tomorrow is the day.

 

[Chikane_GTR]

Sad to see my most beloved racing game getting delisted.

Is this the fate of all racing games today.

 

[Bloodytears]

Like I was preparing for this day, only two things are missing, a physical copy of PC1 and Japanese pack, but to be honest the last is very subjective thing to buy, may be only for Skyline...

 

[kjb]

The Japanese pack is the only one that doesn't come with the DLC. It's good package to get

An understatement, the 1.4 build made AMS2 one of the best sims around on PC.

 

[Chikane_GTR]

On a lighter note did you guys know that you would have to make around 65 trips by car from New York to los angeles to even come close to how many kilometers i have in total with my beloved p1 gtr

Just saying.
