Project CARS 2 Videos

Some comment on the video (youtube)

really stupid.

It isn't or he'd be removed from any future builds or Bandai Namco products for breaking the embargo which is set to the 18th. Again, I can only say to look at the VVV video of the standard PS4 footage. The Pro is much more detailed as you'd expect.

The VVV video looked impressive, I guess the standard Xbox One version will be a tiny little bit behind PS4 (like in most games on PS4 standard vs XBox One standard comparisons where you only see differences on shades etc if you start nitpicking).

So standard Xbox One at launch next week and then from November on it'll be X1X in my living room!

Will we see on sept 18th XBox One videos as well when the embargo lifts? Or does anyone like VVV have an exclusive one on that and show it earlier?

 

[Anomalistics]

Ian, still wondering about ai offline driver swaps and if they're in the game for endurance races. Also - when ai do take over, what level are they set by default?

 

[PhaedrusSocrate]

It looks like an old PC build set to lowest settings for me. When we're running mid PC levels on a Standard PS4 and much higher on the Pro.

I have to say I'm impressed by the sabotage efforts being employed by whomever.... VVV/Alan has already shown stock PS4 footage

Well, it would be so much better if you guys produced oficially GOLD build + D1P materials, on Xbox and PS4 - wouldn't it now? So confusing you did nothing of the sorts. Maybe there's still time - produce your own oficial 2' material of how it WILL look on consoles with D1P!
It woul'd help

That VVV footage is from old press build with selection of tracks and cars that SMS would have started optimizing ahead of optimizing any other tracks and cars and features... like 2 years ago! ANY developer would.

This is, presumably, one of discs now being available in the wild. Its only ONE WEEK till release day!

Come on, would it be more logical there are NO discs in the wild by now? Guy has channel for some time, console oriented. Much more logical he did his best to grab a copy from outlet then envolve him self into "sabotages" on pc... And ofc he would't tell you he bribed someone for it, but some other "explanation".

WEEK before release it happends all the time! Discs start poping around, it happend to GTA5 even... that is more logical for this channel.

We've found a way to do some smart work on the Xbox. We have implemented dynamic resolution on a 1080p base for the stock Xbox. I think it's cool.

I've watched all PS4 bulilds I could find. And I saw about 10 tracks in total witch is very high content for press build...

I have not seen Hockenheim classic ever before, on ps4 build, and to me that is one of most interesting tracks - if anyone has, it would be VERY comforting if you'd link it here. 👍

Edit: ALSO never seen Azure Coast on ps4 before! His second video

Is that real? surely not. Doesn't look good at all.

You do realize that the press build included ALL content in the game, except for future DLC, right?

This is, presumably, one of discs now being available in the wild. Its only ONE WEEK till release day!

Or, someone trying to get a boost to his channel, that doesn't even show up on the top 25 results of a YouTube search, even if you search for "Project CARS 2 PS4 Pro".

Not only logical, but more likely as well. Also, since on consoles everything is linked to MS/Sony accounts, launch dates can be verified. I don't even think that copies of consoles games would start before their official launch date.

Oh, they are clearly trustworthy then, enough said.

Much more logical he did his best to grab a copy from outlet then envolve him self into "sabotages" on pc... And ofc he would't tell you he bribed someone for it, but some other "explanation".

Ask yourself this instead: what do they really have to lose, compared to the possible gains to 2.1k subscribers and increased site traffic?

And WHAT has SMS to lose if they produce their own, oficial, on-console gold+D1P build video? Why don't they, just one with same content for both consoles of 2-3 min.in lenght?

 

[FZA]

cause they probably have some other, more important **** to do right now than submit to your childish whim.

 

[super_gt]

And the video disappeared.

 

[PhaedrusSocrate]

Like such video of 2-3 min., same for both consoles, would be so hard to make?

And it would help!

And it would not steal any thunder or views from thise journalists that have "day 1 exclusive", it would only increase visibility of game and increase potential clicks for those journos.

And so much more, without taking away ANYTHING from day 1 rewievs.

really fast

I'm sure they will, based on the pre-planned and managed marketing schedule they have in place.

The one that is very unlikely to change simply because you demand it.

No please stop flooding threads with the same repeated request that you know is not going to happen and attempting to hijack those threads with content that is not what you are suggesting it is.

What Scaff said. Look, we all want to see as much of the sim as possible, on all platforms. As it was explained to you however, on consoles SMS, Bandai Namco and the platform holders are partners, and SMS has to stick to their agreements, which based on my previous experience in the game industry very likely not only limit what they can and cannot show, but when. Again, you should drop this. You have the reasons why this won't happen and continuing to ask will achieve absolutely nothing.

 

[PhaedrusSocrate]

But you keep on, I am free to say that it is impossible they would be denied making simple, basic, marketing material! In house, not via other parties - and ofc. Sony/MS can take a look and approve making more money for themselves(!) with better marketing of anything they are selling.

I will not write this again if not quoted or someone else does first.

You are right in asking that question but the amount of info coming from SMS and WMD is massive compared to what you see from Turn 10.

This thread is 56 pages long already where SMS answered our questions in all honesty from the beginning of 2017 on. Turn 10 and PD do nothing of the same. You can raise concerns about standard PS4 and XBox performance but what about Forza 7? Where are the standard Xbox One videos? Where are the 4K HDR interior screenshots of the older FM5 car models instead of the new Lamborghini Centenario? Where is the Day One car pack info? Loyalty rewards? Remaining FE cars?

If there is 1 studio that is a master of deception and holding back information it is not Slightly Mad Studios let me tell you that.

100% agree. the first time ever for me to see such a great community work month before the game is released !! great job !!!

 

[Cluck]

The problem with SMS producing the video you are asking for is, there are people who will immediately decry the footage as "fake, doctored, artificially enhanced" and all manner of other crap, to try and justify their personal dislike of a game they haven't played yet. For SMS it's a case of heads they lose, tails they lose.

Possibly, but people should also consider that having day 1 reviews, coupled with the first up-to-date videos at that time is a huge deal for gaming sites and developers, publishers have very good reasons to cater to them, since they are part of the marketing of games essentially. Taking the wind out of their sails by producing professional pre-release videos, showcasing every part of the game in great detail could sour some of their relationships.

Before people point to the many YouTube videos already from the PC, the key phrases in my posts are up-to-date (without the "not representative of the final game" line) and professional.

I know they have to reduce and remove some details in VR, but this seems a bit much........

Maybe this is what happens when you cross James Bond's Lotus Esprit with Magnum PI's Ferrari?

Or they can do as have and cancel their pre-order and plans to purchase the season pass until firm details and videos are provided. Buying blind is not an option when all digital.

Not really, when you look at the interior!

 

[F1Racer68]

Agreed! That interior is beautiful.

I was referring more to the fact that things that are normally "out of field of view" disappear rather quickly in a lot of the videos we have seen.

Why isn't I, and why would you even need to?

We now know that the embargo is up on the 18th, which is before release, and digital doesn't run out of stock. As such plenty of time exists from seeing the unembargoed material to be able to order digitally and pre download before release.

When driving in cockpit view the player's car is rendered in a special cockpit LOD (level of detail).
To achieve beautiful cockpits and reasonable performance everything that you won't see from inside the car will be removed.

Completely understood, and logical. It's just one of those things that made me laugh when I saw it.

 

[BrainsBush]

Great! funny guy with very promising feedback. Pcars2 feels (physics/ffb) like AC, you can feel the car on the track and it sounds much much better. Now we're talking. And the interior in VR looks also amazing. Then it's easy to forget the exterior when you're inside the car (agree @F1Racer68 ?)

Just a side note: it feels so authentic (in comparison to what?) I think 99,99999% of us do not know how authentic this GTO feels in real life. BUt we're very forgiving and we know what he means. If it is really AC 'feel' added by all the other features/stuff weve already seen then this is the new defacto race sim (at least for me)

SEVEN days. Just SEVEN days.

PS And what do we racer have with trees? ALso in GT SPort topic multiple pages about trees and now he also mentioned them. Nature enthusiasts
