The Project CARS Video Thread

[talkin_2_me]

Just watched the video @blowfishrulez posted above and Yorkie is constantly looking around and the camera angle varies. How do you do that, using a wheel when there's no left analog stick like on a gamepad, just buttons? Touch-sensitive buttons maybe, the harder you press, the bigger the angle?

He uses a TrackIR head tracking system.

Project 1886

If it was really The Project: 1886 you'd be watching the car from replay cameras and the game would offer button prompts like, "Press X to Navigate this Corner."

Wow, thanks. That would go too far for me.

I'll stick with my "don't look at all / look at 90 degrees routine", then.

I don't think it was ever promised as a feature. I guess we have to wait for the VR HMDs to come to the market.

yeah i was definitely waiting for some QTE prompts too

 

[bleeder]

i find it strange that they put the Azure Circuit in this trailer and not a licensed Monaco or another currently-licensed track

 

[blowfishrulez]

These are not all locations ofc.

 

[bleeder]

it's just that you never see Konami, for example, promoting PES by saying 'play as Manchester Red! or North London White' or whatever haha

 

[blowfishrulez]

Because everyone knows what track it is from the video. And it is a very iconic track that not many racing games have to offer. Thats called a USP.

 

[bleeder]

it's been a while since I raced it so I'm looking forward to racing some Superkarts around there to be sure. should be pretty crazy

Hi
Comparison Project CARS and real life with the Renault Megane Rs in the incredible Nordschleife (Nurburgrin) from two different views to appreciate the details



greeting

I've always thought the paddle shifting animation wasn't animating the paddles. I can see the hands/fingers move, but if you look at the paddle itself, it hardly seems to move. I know the movement would be fairly small, but it looks static to me. what do you think?

The FG1000 steering wheel does not have paddles on the back. So the finger movement is just fingers relaxing/stretching as you would do in real life.


Edit:
I did get feedback from the devs. Seems the original reference car had paddle shifters, but this was later changed and somehow the animations got jumbled in the process.

This all will be fixed today or at least in the course of the week.


So if anyone sees any other oddities, let me know.

Project CARS gameplay with rain weather, the car chosen is the F1 Lotus 78 Cosworth at Circuit of Spa-Francorchamps.

sorry, I meant the paddle shifting animation in general, for all cars that have them. many videos I've seen in the past have made me question this, but as I currently don't have the game I can't do tests, so I'll leave that to you guys
please load up a random car and see if the paddles move when shifting.

You are correct. I have this. Dunno if they will fix it as it has been like this since day 1.

 

[bleeder]

that's weird. I guess they may not have time to go back and fix all the cars that have them then. it's a peculiar omission if they've specifically chosen to not make the paddles move, what with striving for immersion in a sim etc.

Monaco is a civil road and dont need to be licensed. Its the same track with a different name and saved SMS loads of $$$ Win/Win if you ask me

They're only human, only so much can be perfected in a certain period of time. I will ask the devs to delay the release till June so they can fix this

no, it's far easier to get them to just disable all the interior views, then we won't be able to see the paddles anyway

I just got word from a dev. The paddle movement is so small that it is not worth animating, so they didn't.

Project Cars [60fps] ★ BMW 320 Turbo Gr.5 @ Hockenheimring GP

Can't wait to get in Group 5 👍

It's so cool that SMS decided to give the unloved E21 a chance in the spotlight. Definitely one of the more interesting choices for a racing game in recent years.

Also (and as an FYI), I find it amusing that you can bypass the Chrome exclusivity for 60fps videos by using one of those YT download services to acquire a raw file.

 

[Ak1504]

60fps should also work in IE

 

[bleeder]

i watch all these 60fps videos on my PS4, and while it may not be rock-solid, the frame rate is definitely pushing 60 and is far beyond 30 which is good for me as my laptop is underpowered big-time.

Safari has 60 fps on Mac.
