Project CARS 4: General Discussion Thread

[jake2013guy]

Ian Bell has started talking about PCARS4 with tweets like the ones below. Expressing how they learned their lessons. Looks like it will be in a couple of years time around the 2022/2023 mark.

Potential Timeframe of 2022/23.

Full versions of the images:

They've apparently learned their lesson and calling it PCARS4.

I don’t really care what is going to be said now. We’ll see when the game is out.
That said, I enjoyed each of pCARS games for what they were, so I’ll likely enjoy the fourth one as well.

It's hard to care about what this man says to be honest.

He's deleted all tweets and replies he's made haha. Hard to tell if this is promising news, or hard trolling...

probably Codemasters telling him to please not lower their perceived value to EA

Shame they would all have been screen-captured (many by me), the internet doesn't forget.

 

[jake2013guy]

Damn. Didn't think they'd be deleted so soon. Good thing this one still showed in my notifications.

Looks like the tweets are still showing on his profile though so I got a few things. Will update OP.

Have fun. Enjoy the full versions of the images as well.

I got them earlier. No way I was letting that one lie

So PC3 is not even 6months old and people already have to look forward to the next potential installment, I suppose it's getting more marketing for 4 than 3 got...

Surprised by that since 3 is the best physics, FFB and graphical title they've released according to those who can't wait to play 4

I'll be waiting for reviews from @Scaff and 2nd hand eBay copies

With this news, the official forums are of course on fire with speculation and discussion....

...oh no wait, it's just as dead as it's been for months, the echo chamber that it is never fails to disappoint.

With EA's ownership of Codemasters and Slightly Mad by that time, I believe Project CARS 4 will likely take influence off of NFS's cars and give it a large and diverse car list, almost Forza-style, while paying attention to their "simulation" aspect that has been gone from PCARS 3.

 

[MagpieRacer]

I think he has misunderstood what we actually mean when we say racing sim. Like, driving physics and stuff, not realistic leaves.

Get the bloody cars and driving right, then worry about pansies.

 

[AudiMan2011]

Its all empty talk from Bell until SMS can actually prove themselves properly to bring the series back to full sim standards. Priority focus must be put towards physics and AI to give a full on virtual motorsport experience. None of this fancy leaves aerodynamic wash nonsense.

 

[CTznOfTime]

It's all shrubbery for now...

 

[Wolfe]

A focus on intricately detailed and immaculately polished graphics, featuring individually simulated leaves, without appropriate care for the driving experience or other gameplay elements would put the game more in line with Gran Turismo and Forza Motorsport than the "Shift successor" PCARS3 turned out to be.

I love racing games and during the last 15 years I have been playing all released games. Of course I played PC1 and PC2 and I liked them. PC3 is different, is an arcade game, but this is not the problem, what I don't like in this version is how the game was structured. It looks like something done quickly without thinking the details of the events. Races are easy, time attacks are very difficult and seem to be made only for the best drivers. I am not Lewis Hamilton but not that bad either, but I never managed ton reach the first best time. When drive in the rain with a fast car it feels like running on soap, or oil if you prefer. I tried many times to
to play multiplayer mode but there are very few people waiting for the events, that means PC3 didn't like much. In the game showrooms cars cost much compared to game bonus, and you have to repeat the same events more times to get money.
Hope PC4 will be much much different from the current version. Sorry for my english if I made mistakes, but is not my first language.

Sooo... can we get a demo at least by 2025 or something (the new upcoming one)? Can't wait to see how it looks and sounds, and of course, the physics.

I have some unfortunate news for you.

Err, that's wildly out of date as it's now morphed into Project Motor Racing (via also being called GTR Revival for a while), which is very much a thing, admittedly in another thread that oddly isn't in the Project Cars sub-forum (and I will fix ASAP).

Project Motor Racing (formerly GTR Revival/GTRevival) from Ian Bell & original GTR2/SimBin crew

Seems cool ,but we already have a top sim for gt cars in acc so, i wish they did something else,unless it be historic cars, tracks. I loved simbin gtr1 with the vipers and Porsches, and gt legends with the mix of old cars like corvettes, camaro, de tomaso..
