Project CARS General Discussion Thread

[Lizard]

I don't like useless stuff either, expecially those colored brake markers panels they should remove them ASAP.

What is (very) good in R3E is the global sense of speed, it seems to have a perfectly locked 60fps frame rate, the asphalt reflection looks like GT5 which is the top regarding shaders. In motion R3E looks impressive to me. Could be hardware related though. Maybe with a better computer pCars can be that smooth.

Although it requires a beast of a computer I think I remember someone saying once they got 120 fps out of Pcars on full settings.

Don't quote me on that though.

pCARS still has a lot to go in terms of optimisation, which R3E has been through. Also, R3E based on fairly old tech as far as the physics go, so it requires less processing grunt. pCARS will be much smoother when closer to beta.

. . . Also, R3E based on fairly old tech as far as the physics go, so it requires less processing grunt. . . .

This isn't necessarily true. Seems to me that rfactor is more processor intensive than the Assetto Corsa tech demo. No experience with pcars though.

I'd like to see more pics of the GT40 as I don't think it looks too good in T12's pic, above. Don't get me wrong, almost every other car model I've seen for this game looks great, and I know the GT40 is a "basic" car in reality but in that pic it seems to be missing shaders, doesn't look very realistic at all. Odd.

 

[Jump_Ace]

I see on the WMD forum that the funding bar is full. Does that mean no more new members, ever? Or can we expect a release date in the coming months?

I haven't seen so much potential in a game since....well, a long time anyway.

At the moment, SMS are trying to re-open funding so that they can develop for the PS4.

Video showing in detail the new Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3 '12 (WIP), that has been added in build 461. The video also includes a lap in Silverstone with different exterior cameras, because the interior of the car still isn't done.

Ah. So a dual-gen release maybe?

[DG_Silva]

I've tried to get an answer of out them, but I don't think it is going to be a simultaneous release on current-gen and next-gen consoles.

 

[Timppaq]

Yes, no new members for current project. There will be new project for next gen console(s). 0,001% chance of simultaneous release. (my guess/ estimation)

Have an issue with flags staying on so just have to do with these two shots of the ford mkiv which is not finished by the way.

 

[Jav]

Pictures look awesome as always Chroma! Loving that Merc GT-3 already, went and DL'd the update just to look at that monster, the list of cars keeps getting better and better!

Would be great if you could get one more shot of the mkiv, which would make a great triple screen., Very nice BTW.

When did WMD split the camera change controls into two functions? It's retarded and makes zero sense. If I want to alternate between in-car, bonnet and chase cameras I shouldn't need a combination of two buttons...

Been quite a while since I last played so I need to get myself up to speed (har har) on the changes to the game since build 370-ish... I've already discovered that the M1 Procar is even more fun than it was before

You can just set the one labeled "Cycle Camera View" and then press and hold whatever button you mapped to switch between the sets. Once in the set you want, you can just tap the same button to cycle the views.

Not much better, I know. But better than having to map two buttons.

 

[ussr]

Jesus H Christ and all Saints in Heaven On PS4 this game will blew up GT6 into pieces.

 

[Sharky.]

More like it'll blow the PS4 itself to pieces

Cheers for that Wiz, I'm sure there's a reason to WMD's, er, Madness but whatever reason it may be I really am not seeing it.


I normally don't find open-wheelers all that enjoyable, but lordy the Formula Gulf is great fun! Was having a great 10-lap race in them around Hockenheim with 25 AI but then the game crashed as I started lap seven

Welcome to the joys of playing with software years before it's due for release?

 

[Mr Latte]

Graphics comparison between Project CARS build 457 and Raceroom Racing Experience. It's a lap to Hockenheimring circuit.

Thanks for your videos, must take a lot of time and effort so just to say really appreciate them. 👍

Guys is their a method in place with someone who has accumulated the best "user created" car skins together as a simple download pack?

I would actually pay a small amount via paypal towards someone hosting or offering such a service as long as the designer/person of each skin maintains the credit for their work. Thoughts please...

This is why I've never done multi class racing in GT5...... Because this is what it should be.

 

[priesty_lfc]

Looks good, really good!

If this is online, if you don't fill the grid can you add AI?

Really hope the PS4 version is close/better (if possible) than the PC build.

Can't wait!

 

[RX-7_FD3S]

How can you make a 40 cars race on ps3 ???

 

[BooyakaDragon]

Over 40?????

 

[Lizard]

Over 40?????

The current multiplayer limit is 64.

 

[BooyakaDragon]

The current multiplayer limit is 64.

Oh, well I didn't know that XD

 

[dr_slump]

How can you make a 40 cars race on ps3 ???

Why not?

It's the same with first person shooter games, do you really think the PS3 limited it to 24 players (BF3) or 18 players (COD)? I just see the game MAG in front of me, with an astonishing limit of 256 players, and it ran perfectly smooth without any major problems.

It all depends on your demands.

As far as I am aware all will be shared via an in-game online service eventually, as to make it available for the consoles as well. I reckon (but don't know for sure, though hope will be available) that there will be a ranking of most downloaded and best rated liveries.
Though I am not 100% on the current progress or standing on this. It has been a while since I heard more about this.
