Kotaku - I know, you know, we all know, Project CARS looks amazing. I'm not here today to try and educate you. I'm just here to revel in its beauty.
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.
God, this looks so hot.
Problem, Xbone?
I told you Project Cars is looking like one mean force to be reckoned with. Seriously it looks way better than Forza and even GT6 but what I like most is that it offers much more in terms of racing.
Both GT6 and Forza are great but I am really excited for Project Cars, it seems to be doing more and something new. Not just because of the simulation or detail but because of the variety of cars and different styles of racing this game offers that I have yet to see in any other racing sim.
It is entirely built by a community of racers which I love. That teaser they recently released on Vimeo is so gorgeous. I have turned so many fans of Forza and GT6 over to this game, they are all really excited about it.
They should be, they are putting a ton of effort into this game.
I see so many people arguing about Drive Club, Forza and GT6. Yet barely anyone mentions this, which always blows my mind.
freaking amazing...
really hope this one will release on the ps4 too.
If the physics is as real as it gets... its gonna be an effing amazing game for the sim-ers like myself. Just hope it wont go the arcade-sim route.
Of all the racing titles that will be coming out soon Project C.A.R.S. is the one I'm very much looking forward to.
I can only think on one thing...
when, finally this game is gonna be released!?
