Xbox 360 version might to be much better than ps3. But for ps3 should be much popular.

Why? Well Slightly Mad Studios is making that game, they made also Shift 2 and this game was much worse coded on ps3, it freezes, loose video frame rates and graphically was also worse.

What I've wrote about Shift 2 is true, but I'm hoping it wont be the same with pCars.

I suppose they've learned from their previous mistakes. They can't afford to repeat them with PCars. But that's just my own assumption.
 
The difference this time is they don't HAVE to release the PC and console versions at the same time, and they don't have a deadline. EA wanted them to deliver it on time, but without a publisher they have time to polish it up more.

Not only that. The majority of the WMD forum are actually encouraging SMS to take their time.

You can add to that that the input lag was much worse on the PS3 in comparison to the 360. Which, in my opinion, was the biggest issue with Shift 2 in the first place.

Then again, even the PC version had it's issues with the dreaded input lag...

Anyone knows what happened to the unofficial Project CARS facebook page? It looks like it was shutdown. :scared:

The guy running it was getting a bit of stick because of some of the things he was posting and the manner of his posts that made it seem official. People suggested he just make it clear it's a fan page and to make sure he uses the 'fake' names for cars but he seemingly decided he had enough and closed it.

What a shame, it was the only way for the people who weren't able to be members to see some of its progress. I do remember that the last thing that he posted was some pictures of the Porsche test track and the Renault Megane RS, he should have used the Pirault Mega name instead since I think SMS haven't acquired that license just yet.

It was as far as I'm concerned the best fan page out there. Such a shame. Really.

You can still follow the progress on VirtualR. Unfortunately there are some persistent trolls in the comments section, but they're easy to identify and overlook.
 
Someone at SMS should just run the fb page. It takes maybe 3 seconds to upload a picture to Facebook so it shouldn't take away from doing real work.

I still follow that website but I wanted to see the cars and tracks progress that's why I liked the facebook page so much.
 
If I can follow the guy (his English isn't great) the page will be coming back, he's waiting on a new header image I think.

As for what he is posting there, the CAD images and such it seems he did ask for permission from SMS and they allowed it, basically the only place they did allow an exception to the rule of not posting that stuff. They just wanted him to clean it up, make sure he didn't post anything as fact and to use the 'not' names.

That's good to know, quite recently he also posted there saying that the game would release in November 2013 and lots of people were discussing saying that there wasn't any proof on the forums.
 
The other thing regarding the posting of images, is that he would check with SMS what images were being uploaded to FB to see if they were potentially damaging, hence no pictures of obscure bugs and so on.

As well a release on the next-gen consoles.

:ouch:
 
I am very worried for the console version of this game, its going to be stripped back so much. Why don't they delay it until next gen or are they just trying to make there money back, because that seems the only logical reason to butcher this games stunning graphics to make it run on limited machines when much more powerful consoles are just around the corner.

Just around the corner? actually the only thing we have is a Sony conference 20/02/2013. PS4 officially doesn't exist yet.

In any case PS3 and X360 versions were planned a year ago.
 
Yes, the PS3/Xbox 360 versions will not have the 1080p ultra graphics in XX fps (depending on the machine), but that is about the only limitation that the console versions will have. Imho its definitely a much better idea to give the people owning a current gen console, but not a high end 1000$ + PC or a next gen console at launch, the chance to drive pCARS than to tell them "screw you lot, invest in new machine power or die!". Even if it wont be as fantastic looking as the ultra versions, it will drive just as good and thats what this game will be about, after all - despite the oooooh eye candy.

Yes he posted that it was the 'official' release date when in fact SMS had only posted that as a rough date. He posted as if it was set in stone.

Well putting those things appart it looks like the page is back and he made the necessary corrections on the things that he had posted.
 
Yep. On another note UV mapping for the E30 is done so expect some nice custom liveries for that one soon!

Really like this screen:
