As always, the following shots look spectacular and as the company states, the shots below show off the most advanced graphics in simulation racing, including stunning lighting effects, realistic dynamic clouds, detailed 3D trees and plenty of other details that will blow you away. Project CARS is currently planned for a March 2013 release. Enjoy!"
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.
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.
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.
Ian Bell, the founder of Slightly Mad Studios, is aiming to hire former Project CARS employees to work on his upcoming GTR Revival project.
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.
From GI.biz: "EA is dropping Project CARS, GamesIndustry.biz can reveal.
The Slightly Mad Studios-developed series was launched in 2015, with EA confirming today that it has made the decision to "stop further development and investment" in the franchise.
The announcement was made internally and it's unclear at this stage to which extent staff could be affected. EA said that employees working on Project CARS will be moved into "suitable" roles "wherever [they] can.""
Typical for EA. They buy studios that created nice games..and are sooner or later destroying them and move the people to work on the old same 5+ EA series.
and instead they come out with that piece of shit of Need for Speed which looks like an Anna & Barbera cartoon. C'mon .... PC2 was my go to game for VR racing and the first one i played for tens of hours. i was so lookiing forward to PC4 after that failure of PC3 ... what a shame EA, they are bombing all the good games and stick to the garbage ones. EA when you think you have reached maximum of disappointment they top it off with style .... screw them!
What they did to this series was idiotic. The premise was great -- a sim/simcade game that GENUINELY got developed in line with its community. There is a huge gap in the market for this...I mean, PD hasn't listened to fans at all over the last year with regard to simple Gran Turismo 7 tweaks. Sim racing fans are screaming for a title where they actually give a shit about their users.
Project Cars 2 was genuinely on to something, it just needed some refinement. But instead they followed up by selling off to EA with a braindead GRID clone with Project Cars 3. Again...idiotic.
If you're a real racing fan, go for the PC version. The console versions won't look anything like that probably. I'll be upgrading my PC right before release!
@Belking
Why is that?
they say FORZA is better compare to PROJECT CARS im sure it is not.
I play the Beta almost every day and it's still not a patch on Forza. It's physics suffer the same problem at GT5, over exaggerated over steer.... turning the car into a car and the back end slides no matter what. It feels like NFS Shift.
Oh wait, same studio............
@specialguest
You just proved my point as to why people don't wanna play racing games on the PC with that video. How many people do you know with that type of setup? Probably none. Sorry, but more people prefer to play their games on consoles nowadays. Plus, you don't need that ridiculous setup to enjoy the game. That video was not even close to an average PC gamers setup...but nice try though. This is the reason why console games are so popular. You only have to buy hardware once and not keep adding like you have to for the PC.
