VVV: "Below Alan takes a final look at the Xbox One preview version of Project CARS, it's worth noting that this version is not final and is still awaiting a patch. Once the patch is in place you can look forward to more videos going in-depth, with comparisons looking at the strengths and weaknesses of the console versions.
We first take to the track in the awesome Ford Sierra RS500 in a single make-race at Donington which gives the race a classic touring car feel to the action which makes me think back to the amazing TOCA games of yesteryear. We see not only some cockpit and bonnet cam action but also some replay footage which really highlights how aggressive the AI drivers can be, we see the AI cutting corners, running wide and bumping into each other which really enhances the whole racing experience."
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.
Great video and it looks really good on XB1!
Damn, the game looks great. I'll have the PS4 version because I don't own an x1.
People (x1) owners on gaf are flipping out and canceling because of DF stress test.
If it runs like this 90 percent of the time it looks like a winner to me.
VR/Hololens with racing games (where you can actually look around and get the feel of your enviornment) will be the future. I cant wait until this happens.
woaa AAA Graphics
Me too. VR is really go8ng to change gaming for the good. Personally can't wait to get lost in VR worlds.
