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

[HellzFire]

Love Rallycross, and it looks pretty damn good on PCars 2!

This game keeps delivering. I just hope the performance on the standard PS4 is locked at 60 fps.

Some familiar names on that leader board

More Indy footage:

Having a look at the actual Daytona RX layout, it seems that the jokers are the wrong way round as it's the inside line that's the joker and the outside line is the normal line.

Funny that the focus of the promo tour is on rallycross now as I've only recently gave it a go for the first time, here's what I wrote on WMD (all content mentioned has been announced already):

"Took the Evo and the Countryman RX to Loheac and it was heaps of fun; the physics and response on dirt felt very natural and with the good steering feel and FFB we have it was a joy fighting the wheel and sliding through those corners. You work the wheel so much that you get a workout so my arms and legs feel sore.

Loheac is a fun track too, and the Countryman had great sounds. Very immersive."

Very Good news this RX in Pcars2. I hope to see all RX cars of the championship : Audi, Ford, Kia, Peugeot, etc ...
Already post in Whishlist.

Positive information. Hope we can say the same on release day.

The music in the RX video was too cool. People keep saying how good GTS videos look. Sure they are crisp, but PC videos look like so much fun is being had!

Correct, this is intentional. WRX and GRC have opposite definitions of Joker lap (longer for the former and shorter for the latter) so we are using the WRX "rules" and all joker extensions will be the longer route. Agree not 100% realistic but it was to simplify the rules for players (joker will always mean longer route for pC2). Now if we can just get WRX and GRC to agree next time this would all be a lot easier!

Tbh if they had had this music in the menu of the first game, I'd have closed it right after opening. I like the orchestral music they normally use far better.

Fair enough. As long as there's a genuine reason and it's consistent.

Also, what about the Barcelona RX layout?

Don't worry, it was fun for the trailer but I'd hate that as menu music too .

 

[ProjectWHaT]

Mercedes A45 AMG Rallycross car?

 

[AudiMan2011]

Mercedes A45 AMG Rallycross car?

Looks like it. Especially since it appeared in very early screenshots.

 

[ProjectWHaT]

Oh right, I've completely forgotten about that leaked screenshot.

 

[Dsavage27]

Oh right, I've completely forgotten about that leaked screenshot.

Yeah that car for some reason wasn't shown in the RX trailer but Im sworn ive seen it. Guess it's still confirmed

 

[ozwheels]

Does anyone else feel like there's going to be more than 170 cars at release?

 

[jonyvf]

I feel the same maybe 200 cars
And tracks

What's your prediction ? ^^

 

[Dicra]

What's your prediction ? ^^

170+ is supposed to be a bit conservative, so I think they'll have 194 cars.

If I'm right at this, I'll play the lottery from now on.

 

[ozwheels]

What's your prediction ? ^^

I'd say 190-200 may still be conservative, which is insane if I'm right. There still a while until release and I'm fairly positive there's going to be some curveball major reveals between now and release. Look at Nissan as a new brand, almost double digit cars already. If other new brands follow suite and previous ones are expanded... The RX reveal is a very nice showcase of the new tires and physics as well. A nicely timed reveal if I may say so.

 

[jake2013guy]

Because i'm really cool, let's have a predictor game and we'll see who gets closest upon release. I'll go 188.

I'll put it in the car list thread though.

 

[RoadRageDudez]

I'll go 197

175? 180?

That's what I felt about it. He menu music is "so dramatic" (as my wife says ).

 

[05XR8]

199. Because SMS don't like to boast and brag and all that good stuff. 👍

 

[dtshalcyon]

Mercedes A45 AMG Rallycross car?

It was supposed to be an Easter-egg for those that like to frame by frame, but yes the A45 RX car is there along with the Renault.

 

[Scuderia Paul]

I'll say 202.

There really is no excuse for uploading gameplay footage with such a dodgy frame rate. The actual game runs a LOT smoother.

I'm actually not bothered by the frame rate at all. There you go, 'no excuse' debunked :-)

I guess you have a really hard time watching any content with less than 60 fps, would drive me nuts too. Extrapolating this into 'everything less than perfectly paced 60 fps is generally unacceptable' in a general sense is quite steep i think.
