It seems a PCARS2 pre-order appeared on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N4WQG0L/?tag=gtplanet-20

Q: Before I decide when/where to buy it, will Project CARS 2 have different versions at launch (e.g. deluxe edition etc) or preorder bonusses from specific retailers?

I do not like that SMS have gone with the black cover on the box. If the game really had revolutionary graphics and resolution it should be able to show some detail through the trees at Hockenheim classic at night. :lol:

Pcars 2 now looks the same as Forza and GT. Horrible!

ps. I know that it is a placeholder... :lol:

edit- Or maybe not. I have noticed the stock car advertising has the same black look.

Xmas isn't a bad time to release a game though. All I hope for is that the game will be a polished experience when it releases. If that requires more time it's better to have people being disappointed that they have to wait a couple of months more than them being disappointed with the quality of the game.

Based on your experience so far, do you think release in 5-6 month is possible or it's more likely to be pushed back a bit?
 
following release notes every day, downloading and testing daily builds, i have a good feeling to see the final release this year. The team works hard and WMD members also do a great job in testing and reviewing.
Sure, nothing is writen in stone. But SMS will write it in carbon fibre :cheers:

What he said :).
 
That's great to hear. Looking forward to it. Just finally got Playseat Challenge to go along with Oculus Rift and pCARS. It's pretty awesome and feels very real, just gonna get even better with the new release.
 
It's very safe to say that unless you are on SMS's payroll then you have no idea when it's coming out. Don't take everything on the internet for a fact.

It's a placeholder only. Since no real date has been announced yet by SMS other than "Late 2017", December 31st is a safe CYA (Cover Your Assetts :D ) date. Pretty common practice.

I saw somebody from WMD say its seven months away. I think we can forget about September.

That may or may not be accurate, but right from the get go I was prepared for a late Novemberish (Black Friday timeframe) release. Just a gut hunch as I have no insights what-so-ever (not a WMD member).

You have a link?

There was nothing said about a release date as far as I can tell (I'm on there too). And even still should it have been communicated he/she isn't supposed to break the NDA.

His post is so vague that I suspect @nrosko was just using that as bait..... Classic fishing technique ;) He saw "someone" from WMD.....

It is just a placeholder image. It's exactly the same for Ace Combat 7's box art on Amazon right now.
 
I preordered PCars 2 from Amazon yesterday.

Then I saw my preorder for GTSport - August 2nd, 2016. Still waiting on that one. Hope we don't wait as long for PCars 2.

Oops, thought this was the General Discussion thread. Sorry, no questions at this time.

Will you guys consider having a public beta testing or a demo for people considering getting the game? I really want to get it, but I'm not sure how well my PC will handle it.

SMS already get feedback from the WMD boys- extending that by including a public beta would just add more to an overworked team. It would also just push back the release date even further out. What would be the point when they can release patches anyway and fix those things once the game hits.

As for specs- I am sure they will release more info soon.

2 things: Can you guys make this game just like race 07 but for 2017? please and thanks.

Also, for the future, it would be super cool if the ai drivers had interesting characteristics, such as certain drivers are known for being very aggressive yet not the fastest, some that are always conservative, some that do this or that.

That's my 2 cents. But more emphasis on the race 07 part. I just started playing that and I think it is hands down better than any racing sim ive played in the last 5 years.

Yeah, because I don't want a game with fundamental physics flaws and abysmal bugs which ruin the experience.
