Project Cars 3 Is Directed By The Man Behind Driveclub

During the long years in which the Gran Turismo series was absent on PS4, Driveclub has been the Holy Grail for many racing fans on the console. Now part of its legacy is being revived in Project Cars 3.

Holy!!, i'm oficially interested / hyped for PC3 now!!

[Tear111]

Account me in

Driveclub was my best racing game ever, not even GT nor forza horizon could reach Driveclub quality

Sadly Sony didn't gave them a chance to fix there mistakes 💔

[Gaming101]

This explains why PC3 is going sim-cade to appeal to everyone. I don't know how well this will be pulled off with the PC3 team. My hope is they keep it simulation but include optional things to make the cars handle easier like stability control to keep the cars from spinning like in Gran Turismo Sport, traction control and antilock brakes.

Then do a tuner menu where you can be as complex as you want or as simple, where you simply do a slider for over and understeer, increase or decrease gear ratios for accel/max speed, really simple for people who don't know anything. PC2 did this well, but it can be expanded for PC3.

This will allow the game to appeal to sim and arcade tastes.

Forza Horizon, Forza Motorsport, and GT are all far superior games. Stop it.

[Voodoopower73]

They did give them chances, Motorstorms were all made by them and as much as I loved that series. The last one sold so poorly they gave them a chance with driveclub. But people seemed to be expecting more sim type racing from it and slated it for being arcady.

Evo dev told me PS4 Jaguar processors held it back from being 60fps. He said it was always 40-60fps. Shame it might have helped.

[Dfooster]

I'm sorry but driveclub isnt even in the same league as gran turismo for anyone who's ever driven a car before. And even gran turismo is only semi- realistic. The handling in driveclub was atrocious and whats more the game only ran at 30fps. A massive no no in racing games. But if you are someone who likes over the top visuals then I can see how driveclub might have appealed to you.

[CaptainCook]

Forza Horizon is open world, while Gran Turismo and Forza Motorsports runs at 60fps, Driveclub 30fps.

[Jon_Targaryen]

Youre shitting me right, Forza Horizon is basically Need for speed underground.. DriveClub is an arcade game that was average at best. the only good thing that DriveClub had going fro it was the time cycles during races.

[bacrec1]

Come on now!

[CaptainHenry916]

Drive club graphics was the best I've had ever seen in a racer during that time

[lelo2play]

Is this good or bad news?

[IRetrouk]

It will have a bit more flair than pc1 or 2, physics etc will be the same.

[cbuc1125]

Bad news for Sim purists.

[purple101]

Good news for most then haha

[MajorLazer]

Acting like Gran Turismo isn't the highest selling exclusive racing franchise, despite being a sim. I say exclusive because NFS sells more sometimes but that's multi platform so not really a fair comparison.

[IRetrouk]

Not really, it will look a bit flashier than the previous games, the physics system etc are all still there.

[BenRC01]

Good news for 99% of gamers then. Pc1/2 was garbage. Menus were so poorly designed, gameplay sterile and performance all over the shop. Like those crappy f1 gt mods from the 2000s.

[AK91]

Awesome

[Kumakai]

Bummer... I thought driveclub kinda sucked and was thin (so did the reviews) and project cars is a full sim and had so far been

[Chaos_Order]

You're getting downvoted to oblivion but I honestly agree. I thought Driveclub was a huge letdown despite being a massive fan of their previous series, Motorstorm. (I even loved the somewhat maligned Apocalypse)
My favourite aspect of Project Cars was the handling and realism, though I felt it lacked a decent career mode and had some online issues. Now it seems like they've revamped the career and online but completely changed the handling. Hmm... :/

[Ryzza5]

You know how some arcade games add a "Hardcore" handling mode? Well pCARS 3 is doing the opposite. The simulation isn't going anywhere. There's just some casual options added on the side. Because those aspects are new and intended to get the biggest audience, it's being focused on by early marketing.

Sim racers are either too impatient to wait to find out more or worried about sharing their toys (multiplayer lobbies) with casual drivers.

[King_Noctis]

This game looks more like Need for Speed than the old PJC games based on the trailer. Not sure if that a good thing.

[EazyC]

Cool. Hope it's good with a wheel and still has things like tire model/wear, fuel management, pit stops etc... Loved PCars 2

[darksky]

If they used the Driveclub graphics effects but make it 60fps it would be one of the best games around.
Someone simulated what Driveclub could look like at 60fps...

[neutralgamer1992]

a lot of the EX devs from drive club team did onrush too which i heard is a lot of fun to play

[execution17]

Its kind of like a motorstorm spiritual successor so yeah its pretty fun. Good game to try since it tends to go on sale for cheap nowadays

[silenthillstrangler]

Man i hope it has those amazing weather effects make a return.

[2ndhandcorn]

Codemasters should make it hardcore sim , Grid for arcade keep this a sim did they not see the interest in online racing the last few months ?

[Sol4ris]

Driveclub has atrocious AI driving.
And if PC 3 even tries to emulate it, than I have zero interest in this.

[Knushwood Butt]

I don't remember, so it can't have been that bad.

Some of the AI in GT Sport drive like idiots. Was playing earlier today. Idiotic and/or psychotic.

[MecheSlays]

Guys DriveClub just looked good. The game was ass in terms of everything else.

[SierraGuy]

No more trash than Forza.

[MecheSlays]

Lol. The drive mechanics weren’t that great. It’s only remembered for the amazing graphics that it had. The shit looked soooooo good.

[solidossnakos]

That's no good, Driveclub had only graphics, everything else was lame.

[TheColbertinator]

Project Cars is a good sim but I guess that doesn't fall in line with what Slighty Mad wants.

[Jrios355]

It'll get delayed by almost a year, will launch a broken mess, and will shut down the studio.

[Imortus_san]

SO, it's going to be worst then the other two games.

[snoopgg]

Not possible.

[Imortus_san]

Hahaha, never say never.

[Einhander1971]

Bring back Motorstorm Pacific Rift.

[Bismarn]

How can the DriveClub director have time for Project Cars 3? The DriveClub developers are still patching the game to this day and will for all time.

[NotanotherReboot]

Uh ohhhhh! It's gonna bomb!
