Project CARS 2 will have more tracks than any other console racing game

VVV: "One of the original Project CARS' best attributes was its incredibly diverse selection of iconic race tracks. Fortunately, this is set to continue as the announcement of Project CARS 2 confirmed that we can expect over 60 tracks in the sequel. According to developer Slightly Mad Studios, Project CARS 2 will have "the largest track roster of any console racing game ever"."

goatking3057d ago

Forza 6 had like almost 500.

curtis923057d ago

Forza isn't sim. Also consider for a second how it's possible forza has so many cars. Lots of corners cut.

Movefasta19933057d ago (Edited 3057d ago )

'Also consider for a second how it's possible forza has so many cars. Lots of corners cut' LMAO please explain the the corners they are cutting curtis. Is it the lack of visual customization?Or the lack of tuning?What is it that forza 6 lacks that allow the devs to make sooo many cars,because other arcade racers have no way near the amount of cars forza has yet they are cutting corners too no?
Forza horizon 3 has a beautiful open world with dymanic time of day and weather and has more cars so please explain.

LexHazard793057d ago

@curtis, have you played Forza?

Try it on Professional, all assist off, no rewinds, and turn on simulator steering and damage. Crank up drivatars to hardcore and tell me you're still playing a arcade racer.

If you think Forza is not, then GT isnt a sim either.

Don't buy this game or support this developer. They don't deserve it, after what they pulled off with the first game and crowd funding.

Liqu1d3056d ago

Lied about features before release and continued to lie about them after release, the game was extremely buggy and the devs had no idea how to fix some of the bugs, they admitted they couldn't afford to QA the console version so they didn't bother, crowdfunded for a WiiU version which they later cancelled, advertised PSVR support that never arrived, settings lacked descriptions and were sometimes wrong or littered with typos, insulted and banned customers on their forum who criticised the game.

Destiny10803057d ago (Edited 3057d ago )

from what I can see there asking people to buy the game early by paying 50 bucks

if people want to donate 1,000 or even 10,000 let them, they obviously have money to burn and no sense

Didn't they want us to help pay for project cars 2? I can't remember.

Lets also work on a better career mode, and better handing when using controllers, along with the plethora of tracks.

WickedLester3057d ago

And a simpler, more intuitive menu system!

greywolf393057d ago

This game is not even close in any aspect to Gran Turismo. After what they did in first game and looking at this one, I dont think i will buy the game. Look what Polyphony is doing and learn from the guys

Fishy Fingers3057d ago

I don't think going downhill should be used as inspiration.

UltraNova3057d ago

If the resident xbox fanatic says so...

Fishy Fingers3057d ago (Edited 3057d ago )

Ha! Honest opinion equals Xbox fanatic. I'd probably need to own an Xbox first wouldn't I?

GT - 96
GT2 - 93
GT3 - 95
GT4 - 89
GT5 - 84
GT6 - 81

Trend doesn't lie mate. Unless the collective opinion of hundreds of reviewers are also just 'Xbox fanatics'?

It's called being objective and honest, try it once in a while. It's your inability to do so that makes you a fanatic. But bless you for resorting to petty name calling to express your frustration. Well done, you really put me in my place.

Sparta073057d ago

Nice, fishy!!!!
Any chance to talk Sh!t about, your the first one.
Ain't you the one saying reviews don't matter.?
You guys are always flip flopping.

Fishy Fingers3057d ago (Edited 3057d ago )

Want to copy paste where I said reviews don't matter? I think they're rather useful in backing up my opinion that the series has been going downhill. Can you see the numbers?

And rather than try and belittle me with unjustified claims or name calling why not counter with something objective of your own? Because we all know "Aren't you the one who" or "you guys are always" is code for I've got nothing....

I bought and owned PSs since day one, believe it or not it's ok for me to say something negative towards a game on it, it won't hurt its feelings anywhere nearly as badly as it seems to have hurt yours.

Now again, be objective and look at the numbers, then demonstrate to me (like an adult, I believe in you) how the franchise has done anything but go downhill. I look forward hearing your counter. But it's probably just easier to call me a fanboy huh... The irony is laughable.

LexHazard793057d ago (Edited 3057d ago )

@ultranova,

Like Puff Daddy would say back in the day "take that, take that, take that"....

@Sparta,
Why you mad at Fishy?
Metacritic scores are brought up by Playstation fanboys when making fun of Xbox games all the time.

There are two guarantees with Playstation fanboys, when they wanna wreck your opinion. NPD and Metacritic.

CernaML3057d ago

The series hasnt gone downhill. The competition has grown. Racing fans still prefer Gran Turismo over any other racer out there. Just look at the sales even for the "massively disappointing" Gran Turismo 5.
By your logic, Forza has also been going downhill considering Forza 5 and Forza 6 are the lowest rated of the series but are objectively the most improved.

Featuring_Dante3057d ago

despite the critical reception by 'game journalists', the sales have been soaring in the tens of millions for each game until GT6, but GT6 is sony's fault really.
and does 'going downhill' make the game an official partner of the FIA?

You for sure are a playstation fan boy.....gran turismo is a big let down since the 4th installment.Static soul less driving and every car sound like a electric weed eater.Most racing game since forza motorsport 1 on xbox got better than polyphony in most aspect.

greywolf393056d ago

What GT has is huge number of tracks, cars and most important thing is it is Real Driving Simulator what Forza never was. It is good game, but it is not what GT represents

Deadpooled3057d ago

Should have been an update included into the incomplete first game

Motorstorm, Wipeout, Forza, GT, Mario Kart... all of them are near and dear to me. I'd add some Sega Arcade ones as honorable mentions. Outrun, Super GT and of course DAYTONAAAAAAAAAAAA

isarai2093d ago (Edited 2093d ago )

ROlling STAAAAAAAAAART!

Lack of daytona makes this list fail.

Gaming1012093d ago (Edited 2093d ago )

Honestly, a hidden gem just released - Wreckfest!
It's the most fun you can have with your pants on!
I can't sing this masterpiece's praises enough. I've had more fun with it than any other racing game I can remember, and I've played them all.
We need to support smaller developers like this. The game has been in alpha stages for years so it's unbelievably polished, and it gets regular patches. I still haven't encountered any serious glitches.

My Personal list in order
1.Burnout Revenge(Xbox360)
2. Forza Horizon 4(X1)
3. Forza Horizon 3(X1)
4. Need for Speed hot Pursuit2 (PS2)
5. CruisnWorld(N64)
6. Project Gotham Racing 3(Xbox360)
7. RalliSport Challenge 2(Xbox360)
8. Crusin USA(N64)
9. Rage Racer(PSX)
10. Dirt 2(Xbox360)
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.

Gaming4Life19812093d ago

Need for speed underground was my favorite need for speed, the one that was a launch title on 360. I loved the game and the gameplay, soundtrack, customization were all great but nice list. I never got the hype for the burnout series but I know alot of people love it.

wiz71912093d ago

That was the peak of Need For Speed im my opinion

darthv722093d ago (Edited 2093d ago )

I find it funny that NFS HP2 on the PS2 is better than the xbox version. That is a rarity for an inferior system to have the superior version. Good choice though, its fun AF.

I'd pick PGR4 over 3 though because of bikes. But that's me.

xRacer74x2093d ago (Edited 2093d ago )

Diff team made the xbox version. Yea it was bad in comparison. I went with 3 cause I played it more than 4 though if I remember correctly 4 was like a remastered version of 3 with more stuff.

poleerollee2092d ago

no Daytona? no Sega Rally? no crazy Taxi?

Gaming4Life19812092d ago

Completely forgot about Daytona USA, I used to play that all the time.

sampsonon2093d ago (Edited 2093d ago )

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

2pacalypsenow2093d ago

In terms of fun, GT6 is better than sport.

GT6 has more features.

sampsonon2093d ago (Edited 2093d ago )

features? they are totally two different games. one is for couch gaming and the other is a highly competitive online, worldwide racing sim.
like i said they need to make more than one list for racing games.

GT Sport is has the best organized racing and is for the serious racing fan.
everything else can't compare https://youtu.be/erCwEGSw9l...

it's on another level https://youtu.be/erCwEGSw9l...

2pacalypsenow2093d ago

OK but that doesn't translate into being a more fun game..

I tried playing online in sport mode by following the "etiquette". First turn I get slammed and knocked out of the track by the same racer who won the race, where's the fun in that?

Sport is a great Sim, but what made GT great was a combination of both, its still a video game at the end of the day.

IMO GT6 is a better game than Sport, and they even use the same physics engine.

sampsonon2093d ago (Edited 2093d ago )

@2pacalypsenow: sorry to hear that you stopped short on a turn and was penalized for it.
but that's my whole point, it's for serious racing. not people that stop short and then blame the game for their lack of racing knowledge.

a little practice and you can learn to avoid penalties like that.
GT 6 was good for its time but is dated and not as good in the physics and online play.

but, you like what you like and play what you play so.
blaming the game for your short comings is always the excuse used for sim racing games.

oh and racing on a track with other great racers is fun. who ever told you it wasn't?

2pacalypsenow2093d ago

@sampsonon

"it's for serious racing. not people that stop short and then blame the game for their lack of racing knowledge."

So me getting slammed by another person going 60mph on a turn and using me as a wall to slow down is my fault?

sampsonon2092d ago (Edited 2092d ago )

@2pacalypsenow that is your side of the story. I'm sure the other person was like " jesus! doesn't guy know how to take turns? stopping f ing short. i hate noobs."

plus you do know they have a drivers rating right? so if you suck at driving you race with other people that suck at it as well. when you race clean your sportsmanship rating goes up and you are matched with other drivers that have the same rating or around the same rating as you. so i just don't get the shit that is coming out of you right now.

learn something https://youtu.be/sI8Ssiltve...
or
go play need for speed or forza and leave sim racing to people that can race or at least strives to race better.

The Best VR Racing Games and Simulators

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.

Jakens2269d ago

It would be great if we get GTR 3 and the newest Assetto to home consoles and with VR support.
