The Great Project Cars Whinging and Crying Thread

[Jump_Ace]

What about the word "squinny", heard that before?

I know this one, it's a squirmy, skinny person, right?!

This is more of a PS4/Logitech problem but I can't believe there's no support for the G27.

No, I can't afford a gaming PC nor a new wheel.

I was looking forward to this game, it looked really cool, I liked Shift 2 despite it's flaws (I also got it cheap but that doesn't matter) and I want to play it so bad... but I can't turn back to racing with a controller.

 

[DG_Silva]

Not much as in, never used in the US and people would look at you funny thinking you have some lisp or something.


Jerome

What about yammer?

 

[Marqus]

Never heard of it.

 

[Jump_Ace]

What about yammer?

I do know that one, but enough derailing the thread for one day

Hardly a fault of Pcars.
It is fairly well documented that Logitech left the console peripheral market in 2013 to concentrate their business into their other interests. Unlike Fanatec who's wheels are going to be supported in game only, Logitech won't be commiting to writing specific drivers when they aren't in that market any more.
Fanatec are still an active wheel manufacturer, so it's in their interest to get as many of their products compatible with next gen consoles and maybe sell a few thousand units off the back of this ? It is possible Logitech could indeed write drivers to allow their wheels to be used in game the same way as Fanatec has, but it won't happen as they won't recoup any money from their investment as the won't sell any new units off it as they don't make wheels any more.

Well p.Cars looks crap,ive waited years for a so called sim on console and now this tripe,iman,cmon.Ok ive whinged so now can i say ive sold my g27 and got t500 and now im just sittin and waitin.

 

[DrJustice]

...the [Logitech] won't sell any new units off it as they don't make wheels any more.

I think they do. They still sell them and promote them as PS2, PS3 and PC compatible. Logitech may not want to do any new developments for consoles, but they do make and sell the wheels (I do not believe they have NOS after 1.5 years). So while we can almost certainly assert that they won't make any PS4 drivers, we can't keep on asserting that they don't make, market or sell wheels (a popular claim) since they do...

And now we're pretty far of topic.

 

[Johnnypenso]

Totally disagree with the heading. It is the wording that allows negativity into the Project Cars forum. If you can have one negative thread..then there's room for more!!

If I may suggest a rewording that would gather more structure to your thread is by changing the heading to "The great information gathering thread Project Cars 2015".

We can all debate in the clear manner of fairness and in depth analysis of info that relates to anything that can't be put right.

People need a place to vent. The idea here is that instead of cluttering up other threads with off-topic ranting and raving, just redirect people here where they can rant and rave to their hearts content. You know, you're having a good debate about tire dynamics and someone comes along and says, "y Proejct Peniscars only haz 25 carz, this game sukcs, do fisics sucks two, Grand Tursimo is still da best geme eva!!". Just redirect them here and voila, problem solved.

To be honest, I thought the thread would just fall off the 1st page of threads over a few days and then be revived at launch Silly me

Then you've heard very wrong. Perform well enough and you'll get contracts all disciplines.

Thanks for clearing that up.

It pretty much means the same as a whinger.

I just assumed the "g" was silent like "u" in color/colour.

NFS Shift 2 - I rest my case. You can flame me and rant again until the cows come home - bottom line: same developer, absolutely horrible physics and they did absolutely nothing about it. No excuses there.

What does NFS Shift 2 have to do with this game?

I think you under-estimate the influence EA had on that title.

Have you forgotten that people have been playing this game for 4 years? I know it's a crying thread and all but that's just bs.

Oh and before the dreadful Shift series SMS done GTR & GTR 2 which were better thqan any other console sim

 

[TrevorPhilips]

@UkHardcore23 Also GT Legends! That game blew me away when it was released.


I know it's not the same as but I wonder how many people would have said the same about PD after going from Motor Toon GP 2 to Gran Turismo?

So I take it your a WMD member and have played it?

Do you have a case to make or just trolling?

 

[NLxAROSA]

Troll, just look at his profile.

 

[Bealdor]

It's amazing that, even while everybody should know better, you always find some users feeding the troll.

[RandomCarGuy17]

The only thing I have to whine about is that it got delayed to may. Other than that, I'm good for now.

Though, I bet I'll find something to complain about later on, I usually do.

It's based on the same engine, and, at least visually, you can see the roots.

Oh and before the dreadful Shift series SMS done GTR & GTR 2 which were better thqan any other console sim

And after S2U SMS made Test Drive: Ferrari Racing Legends - without EA, and it shares many problems with Shift.


While I don't think PCARS will be Shift 3 there are reasons to be a little bit cautious.

 

[Formula1269]

Other than it being a racing game, I see absolutely no similarities whatsoever between Project Cars and the Need for Speed Shift games.

Only similarity is they both run on the Madness engine but PCars uses a much improved version of it.

I vaguely remember the Feerari game, Was it basically Shift with Ferrari's?

It was basically that Supercar Challenge game with Ferrari's I think. I think PCARS is closer to GTR3 than Shift 3

I did not know that. Cheers.

 

[JR98]

Similar to how Simbin's games use a modified version of the game engine used in rFactor.
