Project CARS 3: General Discussion Thread - Out August 28th, 2020 on XB1/PS4/PC

I still use PC2 to this day. Although a lot of the content is getting transferred over to AMS2 which is wonderful.
One thing that keeps PC2 alive on PC for me is the Custom FFB files though. That's transformed some of the minor issues and makes it still fun to this day. I've raced people on controllers bumper to bumper. I wouldn't say they have any disadvantage after some of those races. Quite capable.

They may not be at a disadvantage but I think there'll definitely be fewer of them than if the driving model was accessible to more people (or lazier people like me).

I just noticed that the Project Motor Racing website has a forum, populated by the expected members and staff, oddly despite having threads dedicated to ACE and two for GT7; Project Cars 3, aka 'all the sim you could want' is absent from discussion.

It's really not a bad game. I think it's a bit of a forgotten gem really if you switch off any expectations of it actually being the same type of game as the first two.

Completely agree, stand alone game, it's pretty great actually.

Yep. The economy is a bit grindy, but for a 'grab a beer and have a bit of fun' it could have done a lot better if it had been positioned and marketed better.

If it was named Project Cars: evo or somethig like that it would have been much better

 

[Beezer215]

Please lets stop calling things "Evo". Cars, Sims anything. Can't just slap Evo on it and call it Christmas. lol

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

At the end, I'm still not sure why PC3 was marketed as PC3 when marketing a game that heavily differs form its predecessors never works out well. It would've been like if Forza Horizon was called Forza Motorsport 5 or if (don't know if anyone here gets this one) Devil May Cry was called Resident Evil 4 like it originally was going to be. Those would've been messes instead of the success they became.

I heard that Codemasters post buyout is why PC3 got called PC3 and it was going to be called Project Cars Sideways or something. But I don't know how true that is.

Why not evo can mean some many things. Very ambiguous 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

So you'd like to give Evo the Heave ho? 🙂
You're too late because I've heard Santa has his new Evo Sleigh this year! It's all the sleigh he could want, so I believe. Ho ho ho.

Nothing against your proposal, I'm personally sick of that suffix/term.

NOOOOOO, I wanted to poo this so bad. 😂

You can't poo on Santa. That's Rudolph's job.

I have this on my PS4 disc but I would love to pick it up digitally. However it never ever seems to go on sale...what would the reason be 🤷?

EA & Sony conspire to keep the price artificially high

Nah not sure I bought the complete edition on sale for $25 a going on 3 years ago. I would say wishlist so whenever it goes on sale you would get a notification

 

[r_outsider]

Not just Sony, it very, very rarely goes on sale on XBL or Steam. I believe it's a publisher decision, they've basically disowned it until it gets to the age they are contractually able to delist it.

Last sale for the standard was in April 2022 and the deluxe November 2021 so you probably got lucky.

 

[kjb]

I had put it on my wishlist right after I bought PC2. I bought the regular PC2 on sale as well. It just so happened they had both deluxe versions on sale. So I bought
the deluxe version of PC2 and PC3 within days of each other tried to get PC1 on sale but I missed out on that so I ended up with a cheap physical copy of that.
