Looking good, I need this to wash away the DC disappointment.
VVV coverage of near final PS4 version of ProjectCARS
- Thread starter DieH@rd
- Start date
I'm sure I read this somewhere, and I think it was to do with Project CARS, but I'll be buggered if I can find it now.
Is anything locked behind progression-based gates in Project CARS, or is everything unlocked from the get-go, so you can just get busy racing the cars on the tracks as you wish? I mean, if I ended up grabbing this, I'm just going to set up the biggest car field I can Mt Panorama and that'll be that, My Project Panorama Simulator.

The latter.

Wrong move, Driveclub and Pcars are like day and night, they complement each other, not substitute.
You can play through an entire career without them.

Looks competent, but far from outstanding.
We must remember than being Project Cars a sim, there is much more going on under the hood, when compared with other racing games that set the standard in graphics on Ps4.
I was expecting something in that range. And i fully expect slowdowns during wet racing and night racing, expecially in traffic.

Duh. It's more the fact they bother with them in the first place. Suppose it's still 'racing' at the end of the day.

It was one of the most fun things in GT5 and I love Karting irl. People seriously complaining about this, lol.
It's the starting point of a race career, why shouldn't they bother?
Yeah had great times on GT5 with the crowd I raced with, especially with track creator tracks, they were fantastic for Karting.
Kart racing is the first step for any serious racer in real life, why not have it in game?
Also,
Really happy to see Cadwell in a game, such a good track for bike racing, cool to finally be able to try it out myself, see how much air I can get over the mountain
Looks like Tourist Trophy 2 screenshot. Dat 2D foliage.

Honestly looking at that footage makes me appreciate even more what PD did on the ps3, i loaded their game after a while and the fact that still holds well against next gen games is outstanding.
Btw, as racing fan this game is a must buy, a proper sim on ps4 is very welcome even more by these guys that seems very passionate on what they are doing.

Aye, wonderful. Thanks!
/edit: Just watched the second 'in-depth' video at Hockenheim. Holy shit at the tuning options in that Formula
You seem to have answered your own question. I'll put it down to me being a more mainstream racing game fan.
Yeah, it's REALLY pissed me off for years that 60fps racers have jarring 30fps replays because of added effects and other such framerate-reducing shit. Always seemed like a dumb decision.
Yup, only the Nordschleife + Nurburging Endurance Combo isn't available yet.

They should start the career with Kart Racing, it's where every racer started.

I saw some Formulas in the game.Those are not F1 right?
There are similar, fictional versions of F1 cars called the Formula A and then Formula B, C, Rookie and Gulf versions too for the whole career. FA has DRS included.

Even GT PSP had 60fps replays.. Looks like their priorities have changed at PD.

Cool thanks my favourite track in GT5
More like ps3 couldn't handle it.

That DOF is disgusting. Game looks good, not wowed but it looks great considering the budget and team size.
There was plenty of tearing in the video, though, particularly during the wet racing segments.

but the PS2 and PSP could ?
Deciding between 30 and 60 fps is always a matter of priorities

Ya the karting was loads of fun in GT5 especially with catchup on was a laugh & a half 😁
One of my favorite GT5 moments was winning a 12 person online race in karts on Special Stage Route 7. Everyone in the lobby finished the race within one second of the winner (me) and I won by like 3/1000s of a second lol. It was so intense.
Night racing is non issue, there is no performance difference between night and day.
edit - new video

So sad how so many people only care about graphics this gen.
This game has potential to be incredible, the sheer range of car types and circuits is amazing offering true racing fans something that has never been available before.
My only small hang ups right now are how well the handling will translate across to pads (ill be playing on XB1) and whether or not I will miss the 'progression' aspect with the 'everything unlocked from the start' idea.
Day 1 purchase for me no doubt.

Will pCars be available for preorder and preload through the US PSN?
I can understand a replay, from replay cameras, putting too much stress on the engine and devs opting for locked 30 instead of continuous big drops, but I hated that even the race camera angles in replays were also cut. Rewatching a 60 fps race at 30 sucks. Really glad these replays are 60, even if they do drop a bit (presumably less of an issue watching from gameplay cams).

I use 105 degrees FoV instead of default 70 or something. No difference in performance whatsoever. At least on PC.

Looks really great, but I'm not getting any sense of speed from that helmet cam video. Especially when compared to Driveclub, which is interesting considering DC is 30 FPS and PC is 60. I only mention DC because it's the racing game I've been playing lately. Stil looking forward to this as much as I have been over the last couple of years.
Can you take some screenshots of the difference? Would be awesome to see.
Gonna be so immersive, cant come soon enough.
Alright, having run cars on tracks before...I never "flexed"/"relaxed" my hands while going through a curve at high speed..lol.
Save that for straights.
Actually he's not relaxing/flexing, it'S because he's getting to the threshold where the animation would normally go hand over hand. It's a bit weird how they did it in this game and I agree that it doesn't really make much sense for that particular car but yeah... it's "normal".
