Hmmm

I thought project cars looked better, a bit more detail in the scenery, better sun effects, a bit sharper, but I was also expecting to be blown away by project cars and that's not the case from this.

Video wasn't great quality though, but I didn't think there was too much in it imo

john23942d ago

well, keep in mind that pCars is in alpha stage right now. While GT6 is planned for a 2013 release, pCars is scheduled for mid-2014 release

Grindlefly3942d ago

Yes that's a very fair point. Hadn't thought about that

ABizzel13942d ago

This is also PS3 (2006) vs PC tech (2012 - 2013), so it's not a "fair" comparison no matter how you spin it.

GT6 PS4 version vs. pCars would be a better comparison, but even then it's a PS3 game upscaled, so maybe Forza 5 vs. pCars, or pCars Wii U vs. GT6 PS3.

@ABizzel1

Yea to a point i do agree about fair comparison. It would of been interesting to see what they could do on a pc with comparable specs to ps3 in terms of ram etc, although on the other hand they are also both upcoming releases so one could argue that a comparison is fair game.

I have always loved the GT series, and like I said, there doesn't seem much in it at the moment which is testament to how good gt6 does look.

Wonder what pc specs you will need to max this out on pc though??

LAWSON723941d ago

If you expect to be blown away by a game dont watch a youtube video.

Jagsrock3942d ago

Project cars definitely looks better.

imt5583941d ago

Yes, it looks better, but it has a lot of pop-ups.

M-M3942d ago

Project Cars has a better lighting system than GT6, you can tell. Doesn't mean that GT6 doesn't look great though, because it does.

WarThunder3938d ago

Are u s***d? GT6 was in sunset while Project Cars was Sunny.

The_KELRaTH3942d ago

Project cars does look better in terms of background details, lighting, view angle etc but it also looks like comparing PC graphics v PS3

piroh3942d ago

hell can´t wait for GT6

Comparing the New Grand Valley in Gran Turismo 7 to the Original

A detailed look at Gran Turismo 7's new track Grand Valley, judging its evolution from its former design and layout in Gran Turismo 6, side by side.

SullysCigar430d ago (Edited 430d ago )

Wow, crazy isn't it? The draw distance is vastly improved, the background textures too and there's ZERO shimmer now. And the replays are night and day!

EIDT: @below, Haha I didn't notice that!

IRetrouk430d ago

Yeah, theres a massive improvment all round, Looks amazing with the time of day transitions too, me and a couple online buddies jumped on earlier to try it out lol, did you notice the beach full of seals?

closed_account430d ago

That coastline looks amazing and I can only imagine it in VR! Looks like an entirely new course as far as scenery goes.

IRetrouk429d ago

Yeah, those views are going to be crazy when we are "there" can't wait!

PureBlood429d ago

Just got confirmation my PSVR2 is shipping by 24 hour courier, so I should have it tomorrow! I know nobody else cares, but I had to tell someone lol

GT7 will be my first game, as I want to test out my wheel - so excited - it's going to be awesome!

Deathdeliverer429d ago

I got my confirmation and date (22nd) showing for the charging station. The headset itself has been in “shipped-processing” status since last Friday. I’m like dang can I see the date? I was in the first round of preorders. Whenever it does get here, I’m ready. Going to go update everything and try to get over this cold.

PureBlood429d ago

Wish you better, bud, fingers crossed for your order too.

@S2Killinit - Thank you!

IRetrouk429d ago

I care👊🏻, mine is still saying prep for shipping😔

PureBlood429d ago

Thanks man 👊

Word of advice: be ready for the impromptu jig that happens when that email drops, it can be embarrassing..

DaReapa429d ago

Just got my second shipping confirmation email as well.

S2Killinit429d ago

Man i caant wait. One day left!

Flawlessmic429d ago

I know you and a lot of people are excited for VR but dont sleep on sophy, sophy is the real game changer here!

After giving sophy a run last night, i can safely say the actual racing in future GT's is going to be Fu***** amazing!!!

even on intermediate on some tracks the AI was coming back at me on my waiting for me to slip, attacking the space if i left the door open for them, honestly felt like i was racing against people and not some very limited AI that once i passed them they may as well have been eliminated from the race like GT ai normally is.

pump it up to expert and its a real challenge to stay ahead, the next level up from expert man the AI kicked my ass, like badly.

i remember when sophy was first annouced all the nay sayers said its a pipe dream and we will never see it implemented and here we are a yr later and sophy is being tested in game for us to try out and is every good as whats been promised.

VR plus racing against sophy and wowww your not gonna feal like your actually racing for real anywhere else outside of gt.

sophy will change the game in gt8

S2Killinit429d ago

Hm I didnt realize it was like that. I didnt even know why there was so much hype about it. But thanknyou for explaining that. I mean I get it now.

But I’ll be seeing it in action tomorrow! Woot woot.

Flawlessmic429d ago

It's only for a limited time and only has 4 races but I encourage you and everyone else try it and see the difference compared to the normal Ai.

Sophy has slipped completely under the radar in this latest uodate

Why did EA Kill Project CARS?

This video explains why we think Electronic Arts didn't see a future in the sim racing title Project CARS and promptly cancelled the fourth instalment.

Jin_Sakai531d ago

After the last installment I’d say most hardcore fans left. It’s just not that good anymore so I can’t really blame EA this time.

masterfox531d ago

because it was always a project and it never got finished :D

ChubbyBlade529d ago

Every game is a project. Your joke doesn’t make sense

InUrFoxHole529d ago

It makes perfect sense. It's obviously a play on the title. Jesus christ you must be a blast at parties.

ApocalypseShadow530d ago (Edited 530d ago )

Ask Bullfrog or Black Box or Tiburon or Studio 33 or Criterion or any of the previously acquired developers who made racing games as competition, or as developers of EA games, then eventually dissolved into oblivion or reassigned. Just ask them. They'll tell you why.

ApocalypseShadow529d ago

Oh. I forgot. Even Code Masters were absorbed into Criterion. Another racing developer EA took over.

Every racing developer either absorbed by EA or eventually destroyed by them. They either kill competition or have them in the end make Need 4 Speed for them.

MadLad529d ago

EA only cancels projects for one reason.
They didn't see enough money in it.

Kombatologist529d ago (Edited 529d ago )

Not when it's because it didn't meet some crazy margin. It's like if something doesn't make EA a billion dollars on day one (I'm exaggerating that figure of course), they swiftly put it out to pasture.

SurgicalMenace529d ago (Edited 529d ago )

Much like if you're spending money on what's a bad investment for your desired goals, you'd do away with it, if you're wise. We should try to get away from thinking we know more about business than individuals that have been doing it for decades. Perhaps you could benefit from going into business instead of wasting all of your talents in comment sections. It's clear that you're the missing piece that EA's been looking for.

MadLad528d ago

I've made a good amount of money betting on underdog investments over the years.

EA sets unrealistic expectations of their more niche developers, yet continue to fund absolute blunders like DICE and the Battlefield series year after year.

dumahim529d ago

EA butted in and messed with the formula and act shocked when it doesn't work out.

Original Project CARS creator trying to re-hire EA team

Ian Bell, the founder of Slightly Mad Studios, is aiming to hire former Project CARS employees to work on his upcoming GTR Revival project.

Sgt_Slaughter533d ago

If it's just going to be another sim-cade that doesn't do either one correctly then no thanks.

Project CARS 2 was a step in the right direction but the physics still aren't where they should have been, so what did they do for PC3? Go completely arcade. That killed the franchise.
