That poor poor cone at 0:58.
It's nice to see a Road America video as I can't recall seeing one of Project CARS before.👍

But with patience I can watch them in 480p.

Most of what I heard was encouraging. I'm not surprised it was game pad only, I imagine E3 is cramped enough without a wheel set up in the middle of a room. If it were Gran Turismo, I would have expected a wheel set up at E3 but with Project Cars being self published and somewhat under-the-radar I'm happy with just seeing it run on the PS4 (and looking quite well both graphically and the framerates).
It's good for Project Cars that he specifically mentioned that this project is NOT in the same vein as the Shift series and is very much a serious sim; as the Shift assumption pops up in this thread once in a while and in others.

It is understandable that one would think that project CARS is similar to Shift. They both do have a similar appearance to them, and they were both of course made by SMS.
However, EA isn't there to mess about, so SMS is free to make it they way they want.

It always cracks me up to hear people blame the mess that was Shift 2 on EA. The fact is all the things that made the game horrible, (input lag, floaty physics, bad hit detection, sticky walls, and game crashes), were all things controlled by SMS not EA. Not saying EA don't have some blame to accept for releasing a broken game, but SMS made that broken game. So at the least SMS are just as guilty, with regards to Shift, as EA is.

I didn't say that I blame EA for the way the game is played...

The PS4 and XBone are so much more powerful than their respective predecessors, reportedly close to a PC, so having the physics engine and ~30 cars on track should be no problem.

I blame EA for a lot of things Battlefield 3+4 being crap, fifa servers being crap, The middle east crisis the list goes on

This game is being positioned as a racing simulator, if this is the case and the field is capped at 16, the game will die pretty quickly or at least when gt7 comes out and has 24-32 cars online.
I find this hard to believe so I'm hoping to hear something from the developer directly. 16 was the standard last gen.

16 cars is fine for single-class racing, but for multi-class, you really need at least 25 to have a competitive field, and cars for the faster class to overtake.

I personally think 32 is the sweet spot, but 24 and over is acceptable

Unless it's overhauled from the ground up, GT7 won't be a racing simulator, similar to GT6, 5 etc. This is two different games, two different ways of approaching cars+tracks+racing and I honestly believe this game won't appeal to the majority of GT hardcore fans. There won't be enough cars for them and frankly I think it'll be too difficult for them as well.
There will certainly be some things GT7 will do better, they'll have 10 times the budget to get the game done so it should be much, much better in some areas. But while there is some overlap in the target audience, GT is more directed towards the casual gamer, and Project Cars is leaning more towards the sim racing market.

PS3 can throw 16 x 100K cars around in GT5/6. PS4 throwing 16 x 500K cars around would be very disappointing in GT7.
24 with AI offline or 32 online without the AI overhead sounds completely reasonable to me, though I'm not a programmer, therefore I could be overlooking something a programmer would see straight away as an issue with that.
As for Project Cars, that would be dependent on polygon counts which I don't know.

PS3 can do it with lots of frame rate drops, lower quality models than you'll see next gen, lower quality tracks, less to do on the physics front etc. The system will be working much harder next gen. Perhaps offline you'll see more cars than online, I just can't see many rooms being very stable with more than 16 players. Heck it's hard to get into double figures in GT these days without problems developing.

Pretty bummed if the 16 car cap is correct. I'd rather graphics take a hit to have 24-30 cars. Gameplay first for me.
