Shame its been put off till mid March. Good job BF4 is such a faultless game smile else the PS4 would be hardly used. Bought it on the promise of Drive club on the release date, that's been almost a year late and now Pcars is going to be another 6 month wait. Pretty poor show for those that have been promising a deadline and with only weeks left drop it and make it another. I'd not have a job if my deadlines weren't met!
Have a look at the other project cars thread. A developer is commenting on there and has put a very reasonable reason for the delay.

I got quick look at this at the weekend at the Dubai24hrs race, there were 2 setups allowing you to expeirience the 3 screen setup and 1 screen setup.

It looked ok visually but handling wise it looked quite unrealistic, either that or the guys had all the handling aids turned on.

I've been playing pCars for 2 years now as a full member. The handling is very, very good.

Pretty much every build improves further on the game. It has a brilliant selection of tracks and cars (my main gripe with Assetto Corsa), the graphics are stunning, the AI and online play is coming along nicely. If there's one racing game to buy in 2015, this is it.

It absolutely blows the doors off of the competition IMO.

Add me on steam if anybody wants:

Looking very nice, hope it drives as good as it looks.

Love the working track flags appearing on the screen, hopefully it enforces no overtaking on yellows, just wonder if you get penalties for exceeding track limits wink

Fantastic, thanks for the firsthand opinion
Nice to hear from someone that has been playing it, as opposed to the nuggets that watch a video on youtube then shout "the handling looks crap".

Looking forward to this, just want a proper racer on current generation consoles.

I keep reading loads of "this is an arcade" comments, I hope it's a real sim as there is nothing better then gt and forza on console and I think both lack what I'm after for living room racing.

No worries, try to ignore the tweenies opinions, they tend to shout the loudest with the least actual experience. It is slightly stylised towards NFS IMO which is why people find it so easy to slate it as arcade.

The fact is, it has some of the most involving driving I have ever enjoyed. The GT3 Z4 and 12C GT3 are superb, and the game has its own three classes of open wheel racing to represent the progression from Junior Formula cars to F1; These are amazing.

It also has one of the best representations of Bathurst in any game.

The only thing I can't help with is how this will all be ported over to PS4 - I hope they will keep the fidelity of the physics as they are on PC. With a G27 set up it really is very good.

That's a great selection or pre 2000 goodies, I'm assuming skins or paint choices are available. I want a Zakspeed in every livery.

It has Zhuhai and a Mugen Atom should be able to see just how accurate it is!
