with intel CPUs you'll have to get at least an i5 2500k to run full detail at 60+ FPS (i have mine at 4,5Ghz and have always 100% GPU usage on a GTX680, made some test for another user at stock and it sometimes dropped a bit but not lower than 90%), don't know about AMD, i think it scales quite well with multi core CPUs so an FX8xxx should do, an FX6xxx may not be enough, but a lot of optimization have still to come so can't really know

As someone who is on the fence about buying the game I have a couple of questions hopefully someone qualified can answer. 1) how are the actual graphics on the PS4 on a 1080p led? It seems like all I see is PC or 4k mentioned on the Internet when discussing the game. I'm not sure if any of these pictures can actually help me. 2) how does the game play on a gamepad? Does it feel real good or is a wheel recommended?

Yes i'm really annoyed by the scarcity of direct screenshots and gamefeeds for the console versions, its all very hush hush. I wonder who tests these versions.

We do not have access to the ps4 but screenshots are done at 1080. If anything it will look and run better than my PC because of how optimised the game will be to the ps4. Does this help answer your queries.
Please also remember project cars is a small game compared to the other games coming out soon and so will naturally get less attention.
 
@Willfred_1 ahh that explains a lot. So no wmd forum backer has access to the console versions, thats a bit strange.

@RacingPanda those are from may 1, i want video and screenshots from current build versions like they do for pc.

He Andy Tudor if your reading this give me access, my recording hardware and PS4 are ready. Ill test and make vids for you.
 
The constant updates would cost a fortune so they stuck to the dev kits. However we provided feedback on the controller setups. And with a bit of fine tuning the controller feels good.
 
The game looks incredible from what has been shown and I have a huge amount of respect for the many people who put their time into the design of the game. With that said, I have a very big concern that I will get catfished when I actually play the game on my PS4. It would be foolish to expect the game to look as great as a well built PC, but the fact that the game releases in a month with no good gameplay/opinions on the consoles is very suspicious. The low budget is part of what makes the game incredible, but also scares me. It seems like in a lot of areas corners needed to be cut due to money reasons. It feels like the game was made/tested/meant for PC, but will just be ported to the consoles after being downgraded by a lot without being properly tweaked/tested for the consoles. I could be very wrong, but as a person on the outside looking in that's what it seems like. I think I will just wait until after the release.

Because the new consoles have x64 hardware it's the same game as the PC version, the difference is that it's optimized to there fixed hardware, the controller and linked to there networks. If you have a PC game you have a 70% finished console game

It won't look as good as the shots taken in 4k resolution using multiple Nvidia Titan graphics cards, but then it won't look like that on 99% of PCs either...

I expect my PC to offer a similar level of performance to optimized console versions (running an older i7 and GTX760 - far more powerful than either console but less easily optimized): I can't set everything to "ultra" but it still looks very very good. It's all about tweaking for the optimal result, which is where the consoles pull well above their weight.
 
Obviously it won't look as good as the pictures posted in here, but that's my ENTIRE point. Where are the pictures of the game in the resolution that pretty much every console player will be seeing? There is a month left and we're supposed to believe that out of the tens of thousands of people working on the game nobody can post real screen shots of the game without having to enhance everything on a PC? Even SMS all they talk about is 4k capability and PC. Like I said, lots of talented people working on the game, but you guys are horrible at marketing. You're marketing for the small PC number that will buy the game and the wealthy that own a 4k TV. Then you guys use the excuse that budget doesn't allow you to offer certain promotions, yet I am supposed to buy the game that you're marketing as better than Forza/GT? Do you know how stupid that sounds? You can't afford to give us a console demo of any sort, but that same budget allowed you to make the game the greatest racing game ever on a console? That's an insult to my intelligence.
 
I don't understand your point. There are PS4 screenshots on the official siteweb. Who said to you that there won't be a demo? The screenshots here are the screenshot that we make, so can we 🤬 post what we want?

The game is not being ported to consoles. Project CARS is a multi platform cross development project, with the PC as the lead platform, meaning that the development on all platforms happen at the same time, largely using the same code and assets. Only platform specific differences need to be branched out in the code repository. This is a very different process from porting which is conversion of already written software, often with more lackluster results than a cross developed product. Cross development often results in a consistent quality across the target platforms, although at the expense of a more complex build process. By branching out differences in functionality and capability one can avoid using the lowest common denominator for e.g. graphics quality and controllers.

The PC is naturally the platform that lends itself to the most testing since the developers and the testers can test to their hearts content without any external control or additional expenses. Testing on consoles is complicated and expensive due to the manufacturers controlling the process. Console testing is almost exclusively done by professional testing outfits equipped and certified to do it.

And, yes, with the concerns you're airing, especially in your latest posting (after the one I'm replying to, and which I, on behalf of the community, frankly find a bit insulting ;)) you should wait until after release. It could even be that the other more mainstream racing games, with higher development and marketing -budgets, will make you happier.

The only pictures labeled PS4 are from like 6 months ago, are you kidding me? You have to go back to around page 3 in this thread to find them. I am supposed to believe whatever is posted on the official site is actually screen shots taken directly from the console? Lol

How about a video of official gameplay on a non 4k TV? That's the ONLY way the game has been shown at reveals. It's an insult to consumers to act like all of us are mindless sheep. Then to reply by saying it might look better on the PS4 or it won't look much different is comical. 4k visuals look NOTHING like a 1080p led. The quality PC's that these images are coming from will look NOTHING like a PS4 straight from the console. Just be straight up, that's all consumers want. You guys did the best possible job you could, but you're not impressed with how the game looks/runs on the consoles. Simple.

It's like that with every game. DrJustice his reply is pretty clear. Testing on PC is much easier and since this game had a buy-in, a lot of people can already show how pretty this game can look. We all know it's not going to look that pretty on consoles, but maybe you can do some searches yourself to find your answer. I know I run Project Cars with a 1gb graphics card and it's still beautiful :)

Ok, you clearly don't know what you're talking about...

Like Myles Prower said, there is many videos of gameplay on PS4 and Xbox One.

Could you stop saying things like that, you're really getting on my nerves.
 
@ Alloy201 : You have 4 postings here at GTP, mostly expressing your anger towards Project CARS and the community. I'm not sure what you're on about with this 4k hangup. None of us run 4k or have much interest in it at this point. Perhaps the game simply isn't for you. And I'm being quite serious with that: don't stress out over it, find something else that you can enjoy instead until you can see the game for yourself. :)
