Project Cars 2 is here and it looks fantastic. Trying to differentiate a racing simulation game now-a-days is a monumental task. Besides the usual graphical upgrades, new car selections, and inclusion of famous racing circuits, news from the racing game camp can start to feel a little stale after awhile.

Special shout out to Need for Speed the Run, I still play that now and then love the cannonball style of racing but it had faults like real time button mashing in the story outside of the car and it was way too short.
I enjoyed the early Gran Turismo games but I decided to leave off Sim racing from my list since I have been really turned off when you buy a game and know every corner of a track before your first race.
Also left out racing with weapons games. I did love Blur.
bull. shouldn't it be separated into different categories? arcade games shouldn't be compared to sim games.
what a stupid list
GT Sport is the best competitive racer of them all. yet it's not on this stupid list. lol
BY RICK MARSH: Video games are meant to be immersive. They encourage us to act like footballers, spies, assassins, and a wealth of other characters. VR takes this escapism even further, offering a level of realism that offers near-total immersion. As well as providing the opportunity for some of the most entertaining games around, VR also has a host of real-world applications.
One of the best reasons for VR:simulators.
But you would think something as easy as Need for Speed: No Limits VR could be ported to PSVR, Quest, PC VR,etc. to make it even better without the drift. Nope. It's EA. Those lazy bums. No wonder I boycott them.
It would be great if we get GTR 3 and the newest Assetto to home consoles and with VR support.
Anyone else burned out from all of these simulation racers? How much could they add gameplay wise when they are all trying to be realistic??
This is hidden damage control.
PC2 looks good yes.
But Forza 7 stole the driving show by a clear million miles.
but its not an exclusive either! i was told that only exclusives are good but this says that this sim is better AND available on both consoles?! my world is melting. next thing you know they'll come out and say of the console versions the one x version runs best thanks to its huge power advantage... but we all know that a huge power advantage is only good for exclusives that run only on ps4. yup... more sarcasm.
