See i dont think SMS hyped up ovals,yes they showed the indy open wheeler (i think this still coming) but all the hype is from fanboys asking about it every other day (yes i want ovals to)and people answering the question on rumors.
Some people have a hard time telling difference between FACT,FICTIOn, Rumors ,and just plane babble.
I see you skipped right over what i typed, this is what i am talking about with people reading what they want to hear not what they have read
As has already been said, they did more than show the Indycar, so your last sentence there is quite ironic, considering you were given a link to them announcing oval racing and ignored it, only to say people only read what they want to hear and not what's been written.
It says in this paragraph that not only will the Indianapolis oval be in the game, but the Indy 500 would be integrated into the career.
"Players will be able to experience the thrill of driving a 700hp open-wheeler inside the world’s most famous oval as Project CARS will feature a true to life virtual version of the iconic Indianapolis Motor Speedway venue. Aside from offering an exciting place for action-packed multiplayer races and quick race events, the Indy 500 will also become a integral part of Project CARS’ career mode."
It then goes on to say this:
"As Project CARS strives to provide the most authentic racing experience possible, all aspects of modern American open wheel racing will be accurately featured within the game, including asymmetrical setups, the IndyCar Series’ push to pass feature as well as proper oval racing rules."
We now know that we're unlikely to get a lot of this. Ian said no more series will be added to career, no AI on ovals, if we even get ovals at all. That means we're unlikely to get Indianapolis, and even if we do, it'll be online (and maybe time trial) only, we'll not be able to race AI on it, it'll not be in career, and therefore there won't be any "proper oval racing rules" either, as they'd be redundant.
So you see, it wasn't just fanboys hyping up the ovals for Pcars. There were also numerous images and videos of a few different ovals being raced on in Pcars development. They were pulled pre-release, like the historic tracks, and WMD members were told they would be polished up and released as DLC.
WMD members were told a lot of things, and were even told they should remind people that Pcars is WIP and would have all of this stuff later on.
