Project CARS 3 Announced, Arrives This Summer

[RolexGTP]

Reminds me of the new GRID to be honest with more a realistic feel? Idk. I hope theres a lot they will touch up before they release because so far it looks like a dumbed down PC2. Its the handling look, polish and movements, just look a little weird. The new cars look impressive though cant wait to tare up GT4 class.

 

[RaphaelM]

Wtf they did with this game????? Ganeplay looks like grid/forza, so arcade... where is the bumps on track, wtf is wrong with this speed sensivity, very very sad. Pcars and pcars2 where my favorite games. Interlagos❤️

 

[GTWolverine]

I'm sure they didn't show the entire roster of cars available, but one of the main draws for me to PCars 2 was the abundance of classic racecars. If it's gonna be all GT and road machinery, I'll probably pass on this one.

 

[RaphaelM]

Also rear cam very “loose” pcars2 where perfect.

Own, upgrade and customize hundreds of...

...elite-brand road and race cars

I mean, I see Chevrolet, Dodge, and Ford are in, but that choice of phrasing and what we've been shown (and Driveclub director Rustchynsky's involvement) are concerning for those of us who like to drive slow cars fast and/or old cars on the edge. @IanBell?

 

[EleSigma]

Man, I will wait for more gameplay videos and information but the first impressions are not good. I'm hoping there's options to make the game at least Sim-ish as PC2 and this is just with the settings set to arcade or something.

 

[Beezer215]

I just threw up in my mouth. Gross.

 

[zzz_pt]

The driving feels alot like grid 2019

Please to god i hope they didn't 🤬 up this game by going the arcade racer style

Looks exactly what they did.

And I kind of understand it. There's a big slice of the market for them to take since it sells more (I think) than simulation types of racing games, and atm there's no arcade "game in town" imo.

Unfortunately I don't really like arcade type of games. Only Ridge Racer Type 4 and Midnight Club have a special place iny heart.

Still, I'm willing to wait and see how it actually plays. If it's possible to have Pc2 physics while actually racing with all the shenanigans turned off, I might buy it.

 

[Bloodytears]

New 935! Oh yeah! Saw it, bought it!

Shift was great, and beginning of the vide gives a real Need For Speed classics vibe, so I guess from this point, NFS can be completely forgotten by me. Let's see track and car lists, to decide if this GT7 killer for me. Please be there Lexus, the only thing that holds me!

The GameRiot video says you start out in "Road E" class vehicles in career mode, and a Honda Civic was mentioned as an example.

The video also mentions the game has a GT86 and Nissan Skyline (R34?).

 

[Tool1312]

Hope he's right

 

[JSHuiting]

The gameplay video..

Exactly what was to be expected from Codemasters though, arcade nonsense.

 

[MroczMR]

16 cars on track? I hope this is just for the sake of that one gameplay not Upper limit for this game... I still hope i can do LeMans 24h in this game...

 

[artem9000]

Interestingly they didn't show rallycross – the best part of PCars 2 game. We had few promising games 5 years earlier and they went a very wrong way: GT became weird iRacing wannabe for teenagers, Assetto Corsa sticked to boring GT3 and PCars predictable going to Forza clone after acquisition by Codemasters.

It's not developed by Codemasters though. I'm aware Codemasters bought SMS a few months ago but I don't think Codemasters have had any involvement in the physics

 

[Ian Bell]

But you do reuse Shangai (not complaining though). More original content from Codemasters games coming?

Nope, we don't. The track was probably 80% complete when we joined Codies.

 

[longshot1314]

As was mentioned if it's Shift 2 with better physics then I'm definitely in. Also looks like they may have done something I was hoping to see done in other games with having only the base car available and making it upgradeable to racing specs. Wonder if it'll work like shift's works packages?

 

[jake2013guy]

Out of curiosity, why is the pitlane entry and exit blocked off in the Interlagos gameplay? @IanBell

 

[FT-1]

"Up to 31 AI" in open lobbies, presumably the same should apply to custom single-player events.

Looks to me like you are right

Perhaps, but the gameplay looks more like Grid than PCars 1 or 2 to me.

The game may be enjoyable like Grid and Shift but i'm really not buying into the full-sim tweet, i'll believe it when i see it.

 

[Balwerk]

Thank God, more racing games and make a threat to next Gran Turismo so they cannot get it twisted. PD never listen community so these games may level their game up.

not even a threat.
with that presentation.

31 AI 👍

Good to see custoimisation back in.

If this game have the 2002, Ford Escort, etc., thats a win for us.

Hope we can select AI, I'd like to delete the Audi TT fiom my GT4 races. UNLESS, that TT is in a different class(TCR?).

Is that a Maserati GT or Quattroporte GT4?

[Bloodytears]

Mean, understand that presentation to attract everyone, but there must be a different presentation to sim racers exclusively. Seeing tracks without pits really isn't a good sign.

 

[Daz555]

So on Twitter @IanBell is advising the game retains the simulation experience (better physic etc). What puzzles me then is why SMS would choose to release game play footage that suggests the game is more like Forza than PC2.

Contrast PC2 chase cam:



With PC3:



That's an arcade game.....unless there is a separate sim-focused sandbox game along side this in the vein of Project Cars 1 & 2?

 

[AudiMan2011]

The presentation from the early gameplay video and the info potentially regarding the career mode is throwing up red flags, potentially leaning towards a worrying downgrade from PC2 in the pursuit of chasing casuals.

 

[CorvetteConquer]

I have reserved optimism, and rightfully so.

I am encouraged by the footage of the C8 Corvettes racing.

Ian, we know you to be a respectable guy. Please stay true to your Slightly Mad roots. We trust you to produce a good game.

Do SMS not "test out" their trailers on Project Cars fans before releasing them to the public? This really is a bad trailer. I just re-watched the PC2 trailer. If both trailers came out today - I would want to buy PC2, not PC3.



I'm not just looking at the graphics , but the PC2 trailer actually sells the features of the game.

I'm really hoping the game is way better than the trailer.
