Project CARS 4 "Will Be The Most Realistic Simulation Ever Made"

From GT Planet: "While Project CARS 3 is still pretty fresh in the mind following its launch in August 2020, attention is already turning to the next game in the series.

Ian Bell, the CEO of Slightly Mad Studios, has been posting on social media regarding the next step in the Project CARS series, and it’s fair to say he’s promising something good. In fact, he’s promising nothing short of “the most realistic simulation ever made”."

After what I just witnessed with a certain game that shall not be named, I'm taking this claim with a truckload of salt.....

[georeo]

I agree with this comment betting my life against it lol.

Gamers really are the biggest whiny dirty diaper babies.
Project Cars 3 when you turn off all assists is actually super fun on PS4 pro on framerate mode. The gameplay is by far the most fun I've had in a while, and I play Gran Turismo Sport every day, and was a massive fan of Project Cars 2.
PC3 feels like Need for Speed Shift. Turn up the AI difficulty with no assists except ABS and it's so much fun. These idiot reviewers bashing it are so pathetic, complaining it needs to pick either being an arcade racer like Burnout or Grip, or a simulator like PC2 or Assetto Corsa is ridiculous. Hardcore sims are for dorks, and arcade racers are for children. The happy medium is where the fun is for the majority of people, and unfortunately pathetic reviewers shit on the happy medium.

I have to agree with Talldark.
I don't want a driving simulator, I want a fun racing game! Why? Cause I drive everyday to work and I hate it.

[Hawk198666]

BS.

[XxINFERNUSxX]

Want a medal? Shit don't hang.

[specialguest]

I'm not convinced. PC3 was a big change from the sim racer game that PC1&2 were. Several things changed including handling, reduced features, and it felt more like casual friendly racer

[NeoGamer232]

Project Cars is nothing compared to GT and Forza Motorsports.

[kayoss]

I know driveclub is not a sim, but in my opinion its better than project cars.

[georeo]

I had a really good time with drive club after they fixed the online back in the day.

[NeoGamer232]

DriveClub's launch was awful. But they fixed the game and it turned out good. I do not forgive developers who ship broken messes though.

And talking about really good non-sim racers Forza Horizon 4 is the top of the pile.

[TheColbertinator]

Project Cars 2 did so much right while 3 was forgetful.

[Acecalibur]

Good luck

[Cernunnos]

Uh... No. No it isn't.

[Father__Merrin]

Gt and Forza will be more desirable because they are bigger budgeted games but pcars is still a good franchise

[yeahokwhatever]

Forza is definitely the least attractive on the list. it sort of feels like a why bother series to me.

[Fluke_Skywalker]

Lol Ian Bell is quite clearly a nut case 😂

[porkChop]

Oh yeah? Sure. Remind me Ian, how's the Mad Box going? Right. It's easy to make bold claims, but it means nothing if you can't follow through.

[CantThinkOfAUsername]

That actually should be celebrated for being sane instead of going through with a crazy idea that burns money.

[Mr_Luke]

Don't they say the same thing since Project Cars 1?

[Dfooster]

PC3 not selling very well by any chance?

[respekanize91]

shrugs in GT7

[BenRC01]

Pc3 was a last min cash grab, this gens version will be back to their roots i bet.

[BlaqMagiq1]

It won't come ANYWHERE near GT that's for sure.

[ChiefofLoliPolice]

I do like Project Cars. 2 was fantastic, don't know what the hell they were thinking with 3. I'll always be the biggest Gran Turismo fan at heart though.

[badboyz09]

British voice: F off you bloody Cunt

[metalgod88]

I'm very intrigued. Is he saying that we can now drive leaves from a tree? If so, I'm excited! If not, I will be greatly disappointed.

Seriously though, I'm super duper extremely doubtful. Project Cars 3 should have had a different name at the very least. It played nothing like the previous two and was a complete joke when compared to them as well.

I mean, we'll see just how 'realistic' it is, but I'm not holding my breath. If you want a good simulation racing game, check out Automobilista 2 or Assetto Corsa Competizione (if you like GT3/GT4).

[Psychotica]

I'll believe it when I see it. I have yet to see a race game with realistic crash physics. If I hit a wall straight on while going 200mph the car should fold up like an accordion and the driver dead not just bounce off with a few minor wrinkles.

[yeahokwhatever]

.. because they focus on DRIVING physics, not crashing physics. if you wanna crash into things realistically, play beamng on steam.

[Psychotica]

I would think the focus would be on simulating a car race which many times involve car crashes..

[yeahokwhatever]

its about priorities though. the physics system for realistic deformation/breaking/collision can get very expensive quickly, especially on detailed models, and there just isnt the resource budget for that AND a very detailed real time grip/gravity/collision/sound/p hysics model. If we had life-like driving AND crashes, you'd be complaining about the lack of realistic bird physics, because birds some time's fly into the track, and that can affect racing too.

[ActualWhiteMan]

Following up on the masterpiece that is Fast and Furious?...

/s

[yeahokwhatever]

i guess they think this will come out before GT7.

[Sgt_Slaughter]

You lied about PC1's Wii U version, PC1 ended up being a bit of a mess, and then instead of building off of the progress of PC2 you tanked it with PC3 being an arcade racer. Not to mention that vaporware "Mad Box" that was announced and never seen again.

Just stop.

[NotanotherReboot]

Actually, that title belongs to Shrek Smash n' Crash Racing, but nice try
