And you really need those things when you’re trading paint in a grid packed with “simcades” like Gran Turismo Sport and two different flavours of Forza. Unfortunately, as good as PC2 has eventually become, it hasn’t attracted the wider respect and more importantly the sales numbers it deserved. PC2 was an ever-changing and extremely replayable beast. Also, whenever Mother Nature dynamically peed her pantsuit, inclement weather would demand a racing strategy rethink, sometimes even a bunghole pucker. This metric buttload of raceways always felt new, exciting and diversified by the LiveTrack 3.0 weather system that provided temperature nuance and some fluctuating “rubbering in” of race-lines. My gamepad using friends assure me their weird assists issues were ironed out, too.Īs that tuning was happening, SMS continued to bolt onto a car and tracklist which was, frankly, already the envy of the genre. The tyre compounds and handling have also, finally been massaged closer to where they ought to be. In the months and years since that initial green light, SMS has patched us free of the dark times when the AI became a pack of Lewis Hamiltons if you opted out of qualifying. Worse, it was never fully embraced by the somewhat snooty, hardcore iRacing crowd. That said, Project CARS 2 was misfiring on a few cylinders when it leapt off the grid. I spent triple-digit hours behind the wheel of it – in this case, a Logitech G29 affixed to a dedicated cockpit. It was a heck of a jack-of-all-trades sim with a deep, (mostly) satisfying physic engine. The predecessor of today’s topic was first off the grid and the engine under its hood was tuned to be a realistic, multi-discipline, track-based racer.
Our tank overflowethed with Premium 98 gaming fuel in the form of Project CARS 2, Gran Turismo Sport and Forza Motorsport 7, all of which launched within a car length of one another.
For now, let’s do a quick, KERS burst of a recap, just to bring you, newbies, up to speed…Ģ017 was a golden time for petrolheads. We’ll get into Project CARS 3’s biggest lane changing decisions in a moment.
For the record: music is just noise that gets in the way of what matters – meaty revs or the slow crescendo shriek of a tyre. And a loud one at that.Ī lot of what you loved about Project CARS 2 returns, it’s just been buried under Codemaster’s attempt to lure in people who, when asked to assess their top 5 tracks of their favourite racing game, might rattle off the songs present in an in-race soundtrack. That first impression was a marketing department misfire. That early footage of Project CARS 3 and its “new look” was a worrying first-reveal for simmers like me, but does it mean the series has spun off track into full arcade? No. Let’s drop the clutch and lurch right into what you really want to know.
