And for me this is another reason to completely ignore this game. Giving a car which was in basic release in PC2 as DELUXE edition exclusive is just bad.
 
Pre ordert it for 64,-(Deluxe) Steam (CDKEYS) i hope i will net regret it..... playing with controller en liking the car list and SOME videos i saw from TEAM VVV...... and since there still is no new Motorsport and i want something new.....

Fingers crossed......

Yeah and he was looking forward to grinding for enough XPs to get 3 with different liveries.:confused:

Hi Jezza. Yeah I've been around since 2015 with PCars.

Me too. :)

When news first started coming out about the game I had a thought about saying I had seen a quote somewhere that said.

Yeah and another change we've made to the game is to take a good look at the car list and delete those cars and don't seem to have gone over well with the players and got very little usage like the McLaren P1 GTR. Our research showed that it got very little use in this game so we thought deleting it and replacing it with something else might appeal to players also

Well Scaff let's hope your concerns are unfounded and there is an explanation for the dearth of information. The game will arrive and be mostly good with minimal bugs that are quickly addressed. Otherwise...

You bring up a good point i wonder if pcars 3 is gonna have the 20 different liveries for the gtr or just one and you have to make your own?
 
Hi Chikane! I assume it will come with all the PCars 2 liveries, they are already done. I don't know though. Eventually everyone will get the Custom livery editor you get with the Deluxe package.
 
I never ever saw any game ad on tv, including official PlayStation or Xbox promotion. Exception was World of whatever warface for obvious reasons. TV here pretty communism.
 
Just a quick question, does anyone know what the frame rate will be for the standard PS4? ACC on 30 frames per second is not a fun experience.
 
Here is a Q/A which i'm not sure if posted it.

Project CARS 3 Tech Q&A – Engine Upgrades Detailed; No Ray Tracing or CrossPlay Planned
Click to expand...

Project CARS 3 is less than ten days away from its scheduled September 28th release date on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Just ahead of the imminent launch, we had the chance to speak with Joseph Barron, Marketing & esports Manager at Slightly Mad Studios, for a Q&A squarely focused on the tech features of Project CARS 3. You can check out the interview below, while our previous hands-on preview by Chris is available here.

Can you detail the main enhancements you've made to the MADNESS engine for Project CARS 3?

The first big thing on the engine side is CFR (Clustered Forward Rendered) lightning. This is a different lightning technology compared to what he had in the previous Project CARS titles, and it allows us to have a greater number of active light sources in a specific given area thereby significantly increasing the quantity of lights that our systems can handle without any negative impact on performance. We’ve also introduced screen space reflections to the engine which improve both the quality and performance of surface reflections on things like wet roads. The integration of our LiveTrack 3.0 technology—our atmospheric, weather, and road surface simulation—also performs better than ever before, particularly in wet and dark conditions. Our anti-aliasing has improved as well, and that’s particularly noticeable in photo mode, which means we’re really keen to see what our community of virtual motorsport photographers will capture in Project CARS 3!

What do you think about ray tracing in racing games? Can it really be helpful and did you consider adding to Project CARS 3?

Ray tracing is an awesome new development for gaming as a whole. It’s exciting to see light and colour getting ever closer to reality. For Project CARS 3, we’re still targeting the current generation of consoles and PC, so ray tracing wasn’t something that was on our radar for this particular title. We target 60FPS on all platforms since the frame rate is so crucial in simulation racing to help you to maximise your driving performance, and of course the PlayStation 4 and current Xbox consoles are not ready for ray tracing.

The recommended PC system requirements are among the highest we've seen to date. Are those meant to highlight what will be required at 4K resolution?
Click to expand...

We have always been a studio that pushes hardware as much as possible in order to maximise the player’s immersion and enjoyment and to bring the highest level of fidelity to our simulation as possible.

That’s not just about graphics rendering, it’s across the board, from AI to physics, and more. Our delivery of 4K visuals in Project CARS 3 has been enhanced beyond both previous titles in the series, and we’re also continuing to lead the way when it comes to VR-support and performance in racing games. Of course, we support triple-screen setups as well. Simulation games have always been one of the key genres when it comes to pushing gaming hardware, and Project CARS 3 is no exception.

Will the game use DirectX 12 API? If so, any chance you'll add support for any of the DX12 Ultimate features?

Project CARS 3 does not support DX12.

What do you think about the specifications and features of the next-gen consoles due for release this year? What stands out the most for you as a racing game developer?

Everyone at Slightly Mad Studios is an avid gamer, so of course we are super-excited about new hardware.

We can’t wait to see what sort of experiences will come out for the PS5 & Series X, and we’re looking forward to getting stuck into developing for them ourselves. Additional processing power will open doors for even deeper and more immersive sim-racing than ever before. The more details we can add while maintaining resolution and framerate will continue to bring virtual racing closer and closer to the real thing.

Right now though, we are focused on bringing Project CARS 3 to the huge audience on current generation consoles and PC.

Is cross-platform play a possibility later down the line?

Cross-platform play is certainly something that we will consider for future titles, but we don’t have any plans for it in Project CARS 3 right now.

What kind of improvements did you make to the VR version of Project CARS 3 compared to the previous game in VR? Also, is there any chance we'll see the game on PlayStation VR, too?

We’ve been striving to offer the best experiences possible in VR since PCARS 1, which was a lunch title for the first consumer version of the Oculus Rim. The level of extra immersion and sense-of-place that VR brings to racing is incredible, as is the extra precision it can bring to your driving thanks to the heightened awareness of braking points, corner apexes, and the positions of your rivals inside the 3D space.

For Project CARS 3, we have continued to iterate on the best-in-class PC VR-support that we offered in both of the previous games in the franchise, and we’re really proud once again not just of the experience in VR but of the performance level as well. We aren’t targeting console VR for Project CARS 3.

Reading these extracts of the interview, while I am happy fot the confirmation on 60fps on all platforms, I can also be quite sure it won't be 4K60 on OneX.

The part where the guy says that 4K on PC requires very high-end PC was quite self explanatory.
 
60fps on consoles will mean nothing without proper optimisation to complement the amount of AI plus the dynamic TOD and weather. The last 2 games weren't particularly well optimised for consoles and I doubt the 3rd one will show much improvements.

I've looked back at the marketing for Project Cars 2, and I have to ask, why on earth is it so poor in terms of detail for Project Cars 3?

Click to expand...


Interesting.

I still don't understand why they have spent 5 years collecting data making 2 sim games, then turning to this and completely turning their back on the community they helped form. What info and insight are they really going to receive from controller using kids that crash each other? They don't know anything about giving feedback. P Cars 3 is like the Ricky Stenhouse of racing games.
 
Let's not forget that about 4 Months ago we didn't even know this game was a thing.. (Ok we knew there would be a Project Cars 3 at somepoint but not this early.)

Honestly if anything this game feels like a quick cash grab before moving onto the next generation of Consoles

I wouldn't be suprised if the main efforts are being put in PC4 for PS5 and the next X Box.

Even though I'm still looking forward to PC3, In the long run I can't help but feel it will be the black sheep of the Project Cars series.

That's true. But if our wheel's and games work on the PS5, I would have gladly spent the $60 or more on this for a true P Cars sequel to P Cars 2.
