Project CARS General Discussion Thread

[PIP_36]

I've checked out the new WMD website (thanks for the links!), and can see that we can leave comments on the front page.

Is there an official WMD pCars public forum up and running yet, or is there one planned soon?

 

[DG_Silva]

I think the idea is it will be released sometime in November. We can't be sure exactly what date in November, it's down to getting it digitally signed.

EDIT: Pip, yes there will be a public forum, but not just yet. Best guess will be when we are in Beta stage, sometime around August/September.

Here's a quote from the official Project Cars website that caught my eye:

"Project CARS is ready out of the box to hook up to your 4K television..."

Now, I realise that this game can be connected to a 4k TV but actually play in 1080p, but it seems strange that 4k set-up's would be mentioned if the game couldn't run at that resolution.

Does that mean that parts of the game (such as the menu or start-up trailer) could run at 4K, even if it's just on PC? Or have I just read too much into that?

 

[JvM]

The game can very much run on a 4K screen (in 4K resolution), or even 3 of them. But only on PC ofcourse.

 

[Ryanswannell]

Ok, cool 👍. I didn't realise developers were producing 4K games yet.

Yikes.

 

[Lizard]

Yeh. You can do 4k with Project CARS but you need a true beast of a pc to do it as you would expect.

 

[Johnnypenso]

Question - is hacking/hybriding a concern for PCars and if so is it being addressed?

 

[DG_Silva]

I believe it will be checksummed against a server. You can always put black marks against those who cheat and the system will avoid matching you against that person.

Imho the most hilarious aspect is that you will be able to drive around with a car that has a window banner for a PS exclusive game on the xbox one.

Actually thanks to the livery editor i have the Le mans Playstation Audi R8 with GT4 sponsoring and the white Gran Turismo Ford GT racecar in FM4!

Having the GT banner on the Z4 GT3's window will be nice a sort of hommage to the GT series, which we once all played and loved before many of us moved along to something better

Thanks. Let's hope they can nip this in the bud and it's never an issue.👍👍

I would add to the ribbon: "We will never forget!"

To be frank I already did!

Yay, Ben Collins is back giving feedback after testing & getting ready to race this beauty @ Silverstone

 

[DaveyGT1]

I really hope all the hype is worth it. It could be time to say goodbye to Gran Turismo for awhile.

 

[MXH]

Haven't seen this being posted yet. I'm really digging the UI and the design, as well the paths the career mode has to offer.

 

[ProjectWHaT]

That reminds! Has the UI mean updated since the last time I asked for UI pictures?

 

[FLX1981]

See here: https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/the-project-cars-video-thread.303289/page-6 The video is from this week.

 

[GTspace]

Does anyone know if the online multiplayer mode will have AI cars? Thanks!

 

[FLX1981]

Yes. You will be able to set the overall amount of cars you want to race against and depending on how many players join in, the rest will be filled up with AI drivers.

Fantastic! Glad to hear it and can't wait until November

 

[G.T.Ace]

Anyone want to share their SweetFX settings?
Now where I can finally play it, I'd like to improve the look as much as possible.

 

[Marqus]

Someone should make a poll on which career path they will take. I can't because I'm not that important.

Great idea. I'm not that important either.

Whoa...that is so unbelievable!

When I saw the recent videos for Project CARS, I did also see some NVIDIA spot advertising...maybe Project CARS should have "The Way It's Meant To Be Played" slogan somewhere down the road...?

 

[Myles Prower]

Aside from the work on content, physics and other aspects, one focus point of Project CARS’ development in the coming weeks will be the title’s AI as first improvements of the AI-controlled cars have been checked in with the newest build with lots of improvements still to come.

Thanks for the info mate, and thanks to FLX1981 for the info regarding AI cars online. This is an important feature for me, I love that it can be done in the CM F1 series, when its just my friend and myself racing online we leave the room open for randoms but having a full grid even if its just the two of us is great, makes for good traffic racing practice too!

 

[Azure Flare]

How comes that a GT6 sticker is on there? Is it a part of the licence deal or what?

I recall seeing a picture of a Z4 GT3 that said "Gran Turismo The Real Waiting Simulator".

 

[ShiftingGears]

A few questions right now. Is there/will there be a livery editor? Are there any livery customisation options, or is it just choosing from x number of predetermined liveries?
