Driftwood: Because we wouldn't want you to think we are partial after posting videos of Assetto Corsa, here are some more gameplay footage of Project CARS. We captured these videos some time ago, before the latest updates, but still, we think it's worth a look. Keep in mind that the build is not final and that not all the tracks we show are finished. We'll add more recent videos as soon as we can.
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.
1080p/60FPS is available by click the link for the first two videos. This is the best video player I've ever seen....so far. Nothing else is even close, in my opinion.
PS. Watch the max settings sun & rain videos here, it's maxed at 1080/30FPS on the site too.
I agree. If you really want to get a feel for what this game looks like download the 1080p/60 refresh rate. Racing games look to be making a comeback! I might even invest in a racing rig and seat now + Morpheus!
I can't wait for this game on my PC, as I will be playing it with a G27 wheel and my NVidia surround should be a blast. I always wished the GT series from playstation had a PC port, and lets hope project cars lives up to the hype. Yay.
only 7 months to go...
Staggering level of detail in graphics using 1080p 60fps video footage and absolutely mind blowing audio.
I'm actually more amazed by the dynamic power the audio gives out and surrounds the gamer with all that engine noise and every single squeak/rattle/squeal the bodywork/chassis/tire brakes makes plus add the noise of wheel-to-tarmac/wet tarmac.
Did notice the animation of the rain drops at Nurburgring ( night footage ) all too identical and robotic even quite cartoony.
Besides that very impressive videos.
A very long wait still for all consoles, do believe a worthwhile wait.
