Project CARS General Discussion Thread

[CHEN255]

Yes and the first to have an internet disruption,ha,ha,just kidding

lol

 

[Cobra_GT500]

Yep, except for us in New Zealand because we are the first country to see the new day.

Must fix up the countdown thread I think its a day old

 

[Finnstar]

The videos I've seen of AI have impressed me more than any other sim that I remember trying, since GP4.

On my first GP4 race on that I remember catching a car and thinking of lining up a pass, only for the AI to pre-empt me and cover the inside line. My jaw dropped, I couldn't believe it. I loved it

If the AI's defensive driving is on par with GP4's I would be very happy running races with AI. Can anyone in the know comment on what they think of the AI's defensive driving? Do they defend their positions with a 'tough but fair' attitude?

 

[DG_Silva]

@DG_Silva hear anything regarding the pit crews as stated above?

Sorry, nothing yet. I believe they want to get the pit crews working for all cars first before they implement it. It's gone fairly quiet on that front because they were preparing for launch and D1P. Any info we get, we'll let you know (NDAs excluding, of course).

Evo magazine have done a quick preview.....

http://www.evo.co.uk/features/15775/project-cars-preview-a-gran-turismo-for-the-next-generation

.....they make a point about the feeling of speed being off (which a Point of View change should) but overall its very, very positive in particular regarding physics.

• ".......as the braking physics is almost bang on....." (about an R18 from someone who has driven an R18)
• ".....Project Cars has probably the best handling model on next-gen consoles at the moment, which means for serious sim-fans it's going to be a treat."
• "AI performed well, sticking to a line but offering up plenty of good racing when you pushed for an overtake. Crucially, never did the game feel remotely unfair or unrealistic."
• "What we really can't complain about with Project Cars is the sheer amount of content on offer. There is a vast number of tracks and cars to enjoy, ranging all the way from the likes of a BAC Mono or BMW M1, up to a proper full on Le Mans LMP1 car."

Audi R18 e-tron quattro is ready?

 

[DG_Silva]

Audi R18 e-tron quattro is ready?

Yep, it's a great little car.

 

[Bealdor]

Yep, it's a great little car.

How do you know? Only the R18 TDI is ingame atm.

 

[Myles Prower]

That's an e-tron quattro

 

[Bealdor]

No it isn't. The e-tron quattro has a hybrid system (2012+) which the TDI (2011) hasn't.

 

[Myles Prower]

Maybe EVO just got it wrong

 

[Marqus]

From what I've found out, the e-tron's not even finished, let alone in-game. Where is this all coming from?

Sorry, I got it wrong, it is the R18 TDI in game. Sorry about that.

 

[Telstar]

Would something like this help?

Yes, that is exactly what I am looking for.
This is an app created by the community, isn't it? Checked the homepage yesterday and saw a few of those additional programs there.
As I am playing on computer, I guess I am going to get some of those applcations. Still a bit disappointing that a sim like Project CARS, which is offering a huge amount of options and details regarding car setup, doesn't provide any telemetry data in-game IMO.

Dr justice created it and it's extremely good.

 

[Telstar]

^ That's cool. Definitely going to check it out. 👍

 

[ProjectWHaT]

Will the WMD forums open for everyone once pCARS is released?

 

[forspeedsake]

Audi R18 e-tron quattro is ready?

sense of speed a big let down . its what i was looking forward to most and the physics of coarse .its a pity because both shift games had good sense of speed hope its a little faster then gt6 though .

FoV settings will likely remedy a poor sense of speed. I wouldn't worry about that.

It's been discussed and I belvieve they have a forum in the works but the WMD forum will not be opened up. Which is nice for us.

 

[Aaron685]

The Project Cars Twitter page just tweeted they were in a meeting wonder what was being discussed..

No. There will be a public forum though.

DLC most likely.

Dinner plans.

 

[FuriousDemon]

Someone visited the studio. Wonder who...

 

[psychoazubi]

They held a workshop "How to make good games in 2015 - Step 1: Communication with the end user". All available spots were taken by EA, Ubisoft and PD

 

[NLxAROSA]

While EA and Ubisoft were figuring out what the hell this 'end user' is that SMS was talking about, PD simply didn't arrive at all, despite texting "we're almost there, we could arrive at any time if we want to".

Their navigation system misguided them to the UK headquarter of Nissan.

Their navigation system misguided them to the UK headquarter of Nissan.

And along the route a detour to Honda and Mazda.
