Summer 2020 wow didn't expect so early. Not much info though. The far views of track look damn nice for sure. Looks like a trailer though, not gameplay so much.

I was hoping it wasn't.And what have I been saying about it being on xbox1 and PS4? You didn't believe me.
However I thought it was called Revolution. Or will that be something else now?
But at the end of the day i'm still buying it for PS4 and if there is a upgrade version for PS5.
I just need the official car list to confirm the p1 gtr and i'm set

Although looking at the gameplay trailer I'm a bit concerned. It doesn't look a revolution in car control, more a side step. But it's hard to judge just by a video.

But Project Cars 3, despite its position as a highly rated racing simulator, is aiming to strip down the walls between sim and arcade racer, and hopefully entice a few new players along the way too.
"We had a concern that simulators and racing sims were kind of seen as fairly po-faced and fairly technical and fairly dry, and not welcoming. A little bit elitist, maybe," says Pete Morrish, production director on Project Cars 3.
"While we’ve still got what we’re renowned for, which is that amazing sandbox and toy set of loads of different cars and loads of different tracks and loads of different weather conditions that you can combine in whatever way you see fit – we popped on top of that a whole metagame, and a whole career system to really support newcomers to the franchise, and those that are maybe further down the continuum towards more casual, more “pick up and play” people, than the usual sim-head crowd."
Im just a bit that it'll be watered down just to entice the Forza and GTS fans but be not as much of a SIM like PCars 2

The first half of trailer is a bit concerning, I hope they dont ruin this series by watering it down. I like the fact that currently there is a difference between PC & GTS/Forza, it's what sets PC cars apart. Let's hope it doesn't lose its identity, look at the delight of all the new players recently discovering the joys of PC2 after playing the other two games for so long. Hmmm.

I'd say the trailer is deliberately targeted to appeal to a certain audience (and is very good at that) and the gameplay video is a cut up early release beta, which in truth doesn't really show much gameplay. So I think I'll hold my opinion until we know more and have seen more.
I'll stay optimistic in that Ian Bell and the team have remained as true as they can to the PCars format and just added a little polish where needed. Which I think we were all after. Some of those trailer graphics certainly look shiny after a good polish anyway.

This video shows how much closer PC3 is to Forza and NFS...
All the cinematic sound effects feels like they were pulled straight out of the fake stuff from Michael Bay's movies...
And on the Game Riot video, you see how you get points for following a certain line... what is that??? I hate those "carrots"...
No longer content to chase the rabbits, we now have to lure the rabbits with carrots...
I hope that we can at least turn those silly points off... but i have a feeling no
I really hope what he says is true... In my mind, anything less than GT would be bad... like Forza... I want PC3 to be closer and exceed GT rather than trying to be something in between GT and Forza, and maybe that's what Codie wants PC3 to be just that...
... and here i am wanting PC3 to be better than both GT and ACC...
let's keep our fingers crossed.
can someone please clarify? i thought Bandai sold SMS to Codie... why is Bandai still referenced in the first video ?

Bandai is the publisher of the games (distributor), not who owns the company.

For the guys wanting the Sim side of rcing - will the forthcoming ACC on console fill that hole? Or could that be a failure on console for one reason or the other?

ACC is only focusing on GT3 cars, nothing else..
Great base, but a bit niche...

ACC right now is looking more appealing, especially on PC after trying it out last weekend. For the more all-in-one side of sims, I might lean towards AMS2 since its on the same engine as PCARS.
It's not even worth it to argue in the announcement thread that "racing sim" is not synonymous with "mainstream televised sanctioned motorsports series sim", is it? This thread seems to be the spot for us subforum regulars.
Good lord. I have my own concerns, but assuming nothing has taken a step backwards, the "mood" of the trailer can only imply that there will be more of exactly the kind of content and gameplay I was hoping for. 👍 In addition to the things that made PCARS2 what it was.
One more tidbit I like from the GamesRadar article:

Tried and true in other games. 👍 A way to spar with similarly-skilled humans instead of AI, but on my own terms and schedule (no staring at a lobby screen!!). Great innovation way back when. Not surprising with Codemasters' influence, either.
And one from "News 1":
If they pulled this off right, that would mean you can play at high AI difficulties and mix it up in the middle of the pack, finishing wherever possible, and still be rewarded for driving well! 👍 So long as they are unintrusive, the markers can be hidden, and you can more or less satisfy objectives just by racing cleanly.

I watched the trailer and the game seems to be pretty fun, and I'm definitely interested. I only briefly played PC2 on PC with a wheel, but I got too lazy to drag out the wheel, and the set-up isn't optimal. If this plays well with a pad, it could be the game I was looking for.

I've been wondering for quite some time as to when we'd get a Project Cars 3. Project Cars 2 has become a bit stale, and if it wasn't for weekly league racing, I wouldn't play it. One of the biggest downsides from the Project Cars 2 career mode is that it got boring very fast, and the sense of achievement was missing because you weren't rewarded for your efforts. Each race just felt like a custom AI race; there wasn't anything special about them. Project Cars 3 looks to be more fun, encompassing some much needed game elements which liven things up. Gameplay is more important than physics in my opinion; a game can have great physics but if the gameplay is boring, I don't bother. This looks to have both in equal measure.

I was furious when I first saw the trailer but reading through here about new info has made me a little bit more hopeful. That trailer is absolutely awful IMO though. Looks JUST like an NFS game. At the end of the day if it's trash I can always just keep playing PC2 but it doesn't have to be that way SMS so please keep the game sim!
