Racing fans both far and wide, REJOICE! Our first hour (condensed into 20 minutes) with the much anticipated racing sim of 2015, Project CARS! This'll give you a glimpse into the user interface, gameplay, single and online multiplayer and just how terrible Justin is at racing games. Please save your judgement till the end...
Full Review coming out Wednesday, 5/6! Game Release on Thursday, 5/7!
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.
Hard to appreciate the visuals in a game like this when the youtube video maxes out at only 480p.
watching this video...one word came to mind. "annoying"
Attention video uploader. Most channels have moved on to 1080p and 1080p60fps, get with the times.
Ok, the footage may be annoying but not as much as the guy narrating all through it.
Totally my bad, guys and gals! Sorry about the quality trouble!
It was my first attempt at video capturing and editing on my computer, and after 8ish 9ish hours of rejiggering OBS' settings, shooting, editing, trying to work out the quality bit without frame drops, come 3am, I threw my hands up.
Again, apologies if your eyes are bleeding! I’ll do my best to fix that crap for next time.
