Project CARS Reviews!

[bleeder]

Will sites be waiting to test online before posting reviews?

Edit: that game informer review, has he written it in 2 minutes?

'release date: 5/12/2015'


edit: actually i guess this means May 12th in the land of the free and not December 5th like normal people write it

Ha ha ha more like a 5 paragraph preview. That was terrible from start to finish. I could of come up with something that had 10x the detail just from watching YouTube vids. Sad thing is reviews like this get included in a games "metacritic" score, that system a complete joke

In my first race in the Formula Rookie championship - buzzing, chuckable little open-wheel cars in a Formula Ford style - I was shocked and delighted to discover that not only could I jump the start, I would have to take a drive-through penalty in the pits to pay for it.

Drive through's huh - that's a pleasant & welcome surprise!

When your race engineer tells you someone in your pit crew has just fumbled a wheel nut in a particularly time sensitive stop, seconds feel like hours – as they likely would to a real race driver. Exiting the pits after a botched stop is tricky; you want to curse and push hard to try and claw back some time, but you’re invariably on cold tyres. It’s not a good feeling; it’s annoying, actually. But it’s a new feeling, and it’s one I’ve never had before in a racing game. And that I appreciate.

Oh my goodness!

Does that usually mean minutes? hours? or days?

 

[HammyMansell]

These reviews are like buses...You wait for ever and then 5 turn up at once!!!!!

The article mentions the desire to race on populated online servers before issuing a score, so I'd expect to see a score early next week.
To be honest, you don't need the number though, the review reads very well indeed. If you are at all interested in sim racing, it sounds as though the game has met all expectations at this point.

Looking good so far! Hope this gets fixed though:

"On one occasion I was beaten by a jerk AI driver who didn’t make his mandatory pit stop until the last lap of a race and won by passing the finish line in pit lane".

that made me laugh. interesting tactic though...

 

[Fryto]

^I've seen that happen in one of the Chillisteak career videos

Edit: First metascore on metacritic is in for the PS4 version: 86 (although my math says 87).

 

[zane888]

^ai programmed to behave like schumi lol.

Haha yeah the IGN review is a lot better.
I'm buying the game regardless of scores.
But I do wish PCars to score highly, which will help in sales and more money for PCars 2!

 

[HammyMansell]

Like Schumacher at Silverstone 1998!!

there's a review from the Daily Star tabloid which reads like a child wrote it. I almost stopped after the tagline: "ProjectS (!!!) Cars is the latest driving game to hit next-gen consoles but it fails to overtake Forza and Driveclub"

then he finished with 'I still prefer Forza Horizon 2'

perhaps he's just missing the point.

The Daily Star is the lowest of the low journalism, it's not worth reading any of their articles on anything.

Look at the third neg :

• With third-person cam switched on during races, some cars look a little cartoony due to vibrant colours

If colours are too vibrant, change your TV settings for pete's sake...

you could argue that the Daily Mail is the dirt under the Daily Star's filthy boot.

also 'enemy AI'. what is this, CoD?

The Daily Star is only useful if you run out of toilet paper!

 

[adstomko]

The Telegraph's and PSU's review are very well done. The reviewer in the Telegraph knows exactly where the game is trying to focus, with the last paragraph summarising exactly where the game stands. 4.5/5 in a broadsheet newspaper is very respectable. It's impressive what a community funded game can achieve.

What is also nice to see is that some reviews/reviews in progress state how similar it is to the TOCA era, and BTCC fans will very much enjoy it.

Meanwhile I had a good laugh at The Daily Star review.

 

[Brend]

Looking very good, actually predicted 86 maximum to a friend the other day.

 

[adstomko]

IGN Spain/Espana gave it 8.6.
'One of the great racing games of recent times, but leaves the impression that more could have been polished to achieve the perfect lap.'

+ Number of circuits
+ Technical Section
+ Driving sensations
- Force Not quite polished Feedback
- Few vehicles

Tbf Horizon 2 is incredible its easy to see why loads of people would prefer it to PCars.


Reviews are looking good, Eurogamers preview brought a huge smile to my face

 

[NW48]

Hmm... just waiting on the Online reviews then I'll make my decision on buying it. If it keeps being hailed as 'the best racing game since TOCA Race Driver 3", that may just convince me to buy it regardless of the Online review as I loved that game.

But right now, I'm not 100% sold on pCARS. Yet.
