Hi
Three years ago they came out of the pre-alpha project cars and this is a video compilation of the best videos from the first build was the 74, hope you like it.



greeting

Comparison of one lap between Project CARS and the real life, with the Radical SR8 cars at Snetterton 200. The realism of Project CARS is as always, impressive.

​

 

[PletdeKoe]

Unbelievable!

 

[rauf00]

Great job Adrian!!!

Mine just simple New sound Sauber Mercedes C9 at wet Road America, groupe C race.

Tribute to Rene Rast and Spa 24hr

This game is visually very impressive. But on the other hand I think the sounds aren't all that much to write home about. Especially how it's absolutely silent during downshifting with only a blip of sound during the shift.

So I guess expressing one's opinion about the sound is laughed at now?

Probably better ways to answer the question than laughing but I'm guessing the reason is because the real car sounds pretty much exactly the same as the one in the video. The downshifts are quite sublime and uneventful, that's just how the car sounds. If people would do a minute's worth of research before posting to compare real vs. game sounds they'd discover it for themselves.

 

[RACECAR]

That was just my issue. He comes in and states his opinion (not even trashing the game) and instead of a response like yours, he gets that.

The audi probably isn't the best example, a good one would be the mclaren f1, and it most certainly is something to write home about, along with a lot of others of course. That generic up shift sound will be gone by release as well

Agree with you 1000%, there is still this very digital feel to it... very few cars have a decent raw sound in pCARS at the moment, most of them are just meh!... Trackside is still super boring to watch in Project Cars, and the fact that they used DUBBED sound for the Halloween teaser really shows the limit of this all praised Fmod [crap] technology (I heard that Pcars too is based on this awful [so synthetic] sound engine) which achieve NOTHING like a good old hand-made sound engine like in RRE or Iracing. Just hear the Alpine replay then go on Youtube and hear any trackside replay of a full race of ADAC/WTCC/DTM in RRE and you measure the big gap between synthetic (pCARS, Forza, NFS, etc which use Fmod) and close to realistic (RRE).

Well the game is still in development....

 

[Dude27]

yeah, except that the game was normally scheduled for release this November so this usual [lame] excuse doesn't really stand. In 3 years the sound didn't improve that much and only for a hand full of cars, so It's not few more months that will make a huge difference IMHO.

 

[FLX1981]

Even then, the difference is not as OMG mindblowingly night and day different as you make it sound. Here is RRRE a proto replay: And here is the pcars Alpine solo: Does RRRE sound better? Well maybe a little bit, yeah. But not so much that you have to keep banging on about it as if the fate of the entire western world would depend on it. And surely not so much that everyone has to agree with your opinion.

 

[Bram Turismo]

Put on a pair of headphones and re-watch both videos before you make such a display of arrogance. Because sound-wise, both videos are 2 worlds apart.

 

[RACECAR]

One small issue I still hear is the timing of the upshifts in many cars still don't seem as instant as their real life counter parts. I'm not talking about the gearing, I'm talking about the time between gears during upshifts.

For instance, here's the Aston Martin Vantage GT3:





Just listen closely and you'll hear that difference. And to be absolutely sure, I actually timed that gap between gears and found the PCARS one at least 2 milliseconds behind the Real life car.



Now I will say that they've managed to actually nail the Sauber Mercedes C9 as when I timed those, they were exactly the same:

[Sele1981]

Yep it would have been released on Tuesday. And to be honest, from the comments, the game is far away from finished. Even with a day one patch on Tuesday it would have been a desaster, just like a lot of unfinished games these days like AC Unity, Driveclub, Watch Dogs and more. Good that they delayed it. Bad that they only delayed it because of marketing and not because of that the game is not finished yet.

 

[FLX1981]

Aha, the delay was only for marketing reasons, you say? Please dont spread false info. Thank you.

Firstly, you're picking really old builds. Both have since had updated sounds. Secondly, the gear sound will change by the time of release, they've said this too many times.

The Aston now has a much faster shift, check the newer builds

 

[mister dog]

Regarding the sounds, if we are already timing milliseconds and analyzing down/up shifts in minute detail to see if there is any inconsistency, remember that many of us only stepped off the GT series recently and it can't possibly get worse than that. 90% accurate is good enough for me.

Oh and @rauf00 you've got a new subscriber 👍

For a lot of people the sound is more than 90% though.











All five of those are amazing

Except I didn't say both cars had this issue, I actually praised them on the job they did with Mercedes Sauber C9.

Also at the time, that was the latest direct capture video I could find at the time. If they have been saying they would fix the Gear timing (not sound, which seems it seems people are getting mixed up), then I do apologize. Its just something I noticed and its in no way me attacking the game.

No worries

The gt3 aston is currently a test bed for a new shift sound



It's significantly faster, and will get better. It's currently the only car with the faster shift sound (I think)
