Gran Turismo 6 Vs Project CARS: Graphics Comparison Shows PC Is Untouchable

CinemaBlend - It should go without saying that the PS3 can't even hold a match up to the wick of a candle in comparison to the PC rendition of Project CARS. Heck, I would be willing to bet that the PS3 can't hold a candle to the Wii U version of Project CARS. However, it's made abundantly obvious that and undeniably clear that the graphics in Gran Turismo 6 show their age without a shadow of a doubt.

Cant wait for Project cars looks so detailed. In the mean time i been playing Assetto Corsa on the PC its still in beta but looks very promising.

vishmarx3781d ago

who would've thought that $200 7yr old hardware is not on par with a $1500 modern machine...
a genius indeed

Hellsvacancy3781d ago (Edited 3781d ago )

Yep, pointless article, you can do this with pretty much every PS3 vs PC game

jimbobwahey3781d ago

Well if they compared Drive Club to Project CARS, then Project CARS would obviously look worse since Drive Club blows it out the water graphically, so they had to go with GT6 instead.

MadLad3781d ago (Edited 3781d ago )

@jimbob

Saying so doesn't make it so.
The fact that you say something as dramatic as "blows it out of the water" shows just how far you are reaching with that statement.

Dasteru3781d ago (Edited 3781d ago )

@SlapHappyJesus:

Reaching so far he got it completely backwards, Project Cars blows Driveclub out of the water graphically, anyone who thinks otherwise needs a serious reality check and possibly a new pair of glasses. Project Cars isn't even out of Beta yet either.

mewhy323781d ago

I agree with vish. This isn't a fair comparison. I mean it's like comparing 720p vs 1080p. There's really no comparison.

pete0073781d ago

how about comparing a multi million budget and almost infinite resourses against a private project, funded by people like me who invested a bit of money and believe developpers capabilities wich is on pre alfa builds with almost no licenses, not yet optimized( no sli support, no driver support) and pits against the allmighty GT franchise GALANTLY as if it would be a multi billionaire franchise.
dont forget it was also planned to release on ps3/360 and it would still beat GT

mic_cala3781d ago

I know what a joke comparin a game on 7 old hardware to something on top of the range hardware lol.

People need to find something better to do with there time !!

JasonKCK3780d ago (Edited 3780d ago )

Agree. Not really fair comparing a 2013 PC to a 7 year old console. Would have been better off comparing Forza X1.

Autodidactdystopia3780d ago

Lol at driveclub references... dream on.

UncleGermrod3780d ago

Well this wasn't obvious. I mean, c'mon. To be fair, next to next-gen racers, even forza 5 being a launch game, the difference is not so much. I mean the in-car cam looks amazing and the lighting is much better than say forza 5, but overall, I am sure we will begin to see racers that can rival this on console. Why compare it to ps3?? And also, PC ofcourse will always be capable of turning out better graphics with high-end rigs. I don't see the point in this article.

PS: Project:Cars does look really good

FlunkinMonkey3781d ago

Comparing 6+ year old hardware with high end PC? Yea, good one.. This isn't obvious at all. GT6 does amazing considering.. Project Cars looks stunning but this is a particularly stupid comparison.

GT7 will rival these graphics.

decrypt3781d ago (Edited 3781d ago )

How do we know? GT5 used assets from GT3, 800 cars out of the 1000 were using low res textures, History has a way of repeating itself.

Should GT7 be doing things the way GT5 did, no way its going to compare to project cars.

Angeljuice3781d ago

To be completely honest, I started watching the video thinking how great project cars looks, but a third of the way through I started looking at the PS3 screen more and more, its amazing that they can make it look that good with such limited resources (512 Megabytes split into 2 pools (awkward), 7 year old GPU that was considered mid-range at best when released).

Project Cars does look great, but run it through a mid-range 7yo PC with 256MB of ram and a 256MB video card for a true, meaningful comparison.

You wouldn't even get past the title screen, you couldn't even run Windows on it, unless Project Cars is DOS based you'd be screwed!

skazwaz3781d ago

Yeah...what everyone else is saying...

Muffins12233781d ago

Ha this is a last gen game and we still need conparison to see if project cars looks better than a last gen game,just wait till gt7 on ps4.

Yourpapa3781d ago

If you want to be taken anywhere serious at least take a PS4 racing game and still the PC is better in every way. But that's not the point. This comparison makes no sense.

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.

SullysCigar420d ago (Edited 420d 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!

IRetrouk420d 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_account420d ago

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

IRetrouk420d ago

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

PureBlood420d 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!

Deathdeliverer420d 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.

PureBlood420d ago

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

@S2Killinit - Thank you!

IRetrouk420d ago

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

PureBlood419d ago

Thanks man 👊

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

DaReapa420d ago

Just got my second shipping confirmation email as well.

Man i caant wait. One day left!

Flawlessmic419d 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

S2Killinit419d 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.

Flawlessmic419d 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_Sakai521d 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.

masterfox521d ago

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

ChubbyBlade519d ago

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

InUrFoxHole519d ago

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

ApocalypseShadow520d ago (Edited 520d 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.

ApocalypseShadow519d 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.

MadLad520d ago

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

Kombatologist520d ago (Edited 520d 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.

SurgicalMenace519d ago (Edited 519d 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.

MadLad519d 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.

dumahim520d 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_Slaughter523d 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.
