Most likely because one of the biggest PCARS1 complaints was not enough diversity in many car classes. :sly:
True. But for RX and Super 2000, there were alternatives from manufacturers in the game like Honda, Chevrolet and Ford for Super 2000.
 
@IanBell Will we be able to choose the AI's cars individually in any mode. I loved this feature in Forza Motorsport 4 multiplayer? I would like to create accurate IMSA/WEC races. Is there a way to do that?
 
People keep asking this over and over, this feature is such a big deal for offline players, it's frustrating that they don't just do it, it's not programming physics or AI, it's just adding listed menu options to allow one choose the cars individually... damn.

Before anyone comes up saying I might be showing an aggressive tone, don't bother, it's just a little bit of frustration talking and I love PCARS and appreciate everyone involved in developing it.

Yes, it may be relatively easy compared to physics/AI but it's not just menu options. It's adding each car correctly and translating that into the actual race itself.
 
At this stage, I got over that. Having the proper classes race together is the better option.

Now, are we able to choose one manufacturer to cover the whole field? Not just Same Make, but only Nissan? I'd love to replicate a Nismo Fest race weekend.

Or maybe, Same Make for each of the 4 classes in multi-class racing?

Yeah, that is kind of lame. Perhaps we'll get a mod where we can fully customize the field like we had for PC1...at least for PC anyways.
 
@DesertPenguin09

Considering it is in an official tweet AND in the closing scene of an official trailer, I would say so.

you can see this date on the end of the new E3 Porsche trailer :) the best confirmation for this.

When is it possible to pre-order the game digital ? do you already have informations which editions are available for digital pre-order ?

I love to see that the Opel Astra TCR is included to the game, do you allready have information about more cars in the TCR class ? I hope so much that there are more cars like the Opel Astra... maybe : Seat León TCR or Hyundai i30 TCR or Honda Civic TCR ?

@IanBell Can you comment yet on VR optimization, and how it'll compare to running Project Cars 1 in VR?

Also, will there be an option to compete in time trials with fixed setups? I love time trials but hate having to find or develop an alien setup to compete on even grounds with the top times.

Cheers

No I agree it sucks, i'll file this along with no custom championships & no option to turn off wheel vibrations.

For some reason (boring stuff I'm sure) the first Project CARS wasn't available for pre order on PSN in North America. Will this be fixed with PCARS 2? I wanna be able to pre order on PSN this time around.

@IanBell

Same question, and now with a solid release date, any progress since your last comment on this? I was a pretty vocal critic of the whole fiasco with the US PSN preorder being available or not, the bonus availability and how it was handled ect. Thanks you and the team for all your effort and time.
 
@IanBell @The_American

Is the weather system exactly the same than in PC1?

Last day The American said that slots system was still present, but my concern is about the bug that wasn't never addressed about Sync to Race + "random weather" (with several slots).

I'm sorry for my english and thanks in advance
 
Are the team looking forward to utilizing the extra RAM from Scorpio? If so, would 60fps replays return?
