The Project CARS Video Thread

Edit: My friend confused a Grid 2 video with PCARS, but they did announce the Indy 500 in PCARS, along with the full 2015 IndyCar liveries, asymmetrical setups, push to pass, and oval rules!

Gotta get me one of those!!

Tried the demo App today with Assetto Corsa. Its a pretty nice gimmick but did not worked for me. My focus is on the TV screen and even though I put my smartphone directly under my TV, I cant take a look on the phone when I drive. Maybe mounted on the rim like in the video can work better.

If I go the PC route I'll probably use a tablet and mount it to the side of my wheel, shifter on one side, screen on the other. Might be a bit awkward but I'd do a lot of testing first to see how it works. I have a Blackberry phone unfortunately so if I go the phone route I might pick up a cheapie used one.

I love GT's sound track its the best part of the game and the best thing is I can buy the sound track without having to buy that silly racing add-on

I always had a soft spot for GT's jazzy feel also, and the good thing about being able to customize the tracklist, is you can get rid of all those teenage Japanese rock songs Kaz seems to dig.

Listened to 1 song for the PCARS soundtrack, and it reminded me too much of a shoot em up soundtrack a la COD.
Anyway could be worse.

Edit: Am i solo here in actually liking the menu music in FM4? The only bad thing was it was only 5 or so songs they kept on repeating over and over again but i liked them a lot

When I listened to the pcars soundtrack, it reminded me of the Ace Combat series, it always had good orchestral music.

Fm4's menu music is very calming and fits very well with the dynamic background showing your current car.

Thing is PCARS doesn't contain bullets and explosions

Couldn't agree more, shame there weren't more songs like that.

track 1 is like Metal Gear Solid haha!

I just noticed that @digiprost has the tablet on the side approach I referred to above:

 

[mister dog]

Can a WMD member notify on the WMD forum that the position of the hands is too high on the steering wheel? I know i can get anal on these things but it it's unnatural and obscures the vision in tight corners IMO, having that fist in front of you each time.

 

[Samus]

They know, car is first export. There are always niggles and errors like this to start with. Sometimes the hands clip straight through the wheel to start with. Don't worry, it'll be correct soon.

 

[Myles Prower]

It doesn't even have its proper interior yet its the road cars version

I start to have doubt on whether SMS can make it release in coming Nov? Seems a lot of things have to be rectified, though patches are always required.

 

[mister dog]

Ok good to hear, as long as they get the animations perfect in the final build that's fine by me 👍

Things like this don't take long, it's just everything has to be worked on in a pre-planned order for best efficiency.

You also have to bear in mind you don't usually see content in a game this early. Even after a week cars move on greatly.

Too true that we ordinary gamers can see in such depth of the development, it's just that I can't wait for the release as i know PCARS is going to strike on the racing sim market, and most importantly, it provides a clear warning to PD that GT7 cannot be failure again….

Interesting! So I wonder, will bring PCars something new for the people who own it already when it gets released? Or will the early access people get everything delivered already before release? I mean a career mode, more (not announced) tracks and cars?

 

[Samus]

No, we won't have everything before the full public release.

Hahahaha....nailed it! Zzziiiinnnnng!

Wish I could tape this to Kaz's forehead along with a request for proper engine sounds!

 

[Samus]

I can never get that one from GT5 out of my head, with the kids singing A-E-I-O-U something or other.

Ah damn that one was the one on the pre race screen which you sadly couldn't turn off, but had to listen to every time..

Anyway i'm thinking we're going a bit off topic here

I was wandering the wilds of YouTube looking for PCars kart videos and was stoked to find a kart running on a test track that looks absolutely fantastic!! If you haven't seen the test track take a look:

​

And then I found this in the Track Thread:

Fictional Tracks

- Test Track (just for testing during development, wont be in the final release)

And then I did this:

 

[Samus]

Can't say for sure but I believe they said it needed a lot more work (obviously) and the other tracks simply take priority, leaving no time for that one to be finished. Again not 100% sure but I think it could be free DLC post-release, if they have the time to finish it.

 

[Spitty]

The test track looks cool, especially the section with the elevation changes.

New Project CARS gameplay giving a wet lap at Cadwell Park circuit with the Mercedes 300SEL 6.8 AMG, with a personalized onboard camera.

 

[Wolfe]

Cadwell is looking great. 👍

So does the wooden dash on that classic Benz

 

[Snaeper]

I see now why Cadwell is called the Mini-Nurburgring, but I really can't see it make for very good auto racing due to its width.

Super Karts!!!!

I can feel the bass in that Cadwell Park video even with the crappy YouTube sound!
