project CARS

Waiting for the Xbox edition, can't be bothered with configuring a PC.

I still download the updates every week or so but just dont have the time spare to really use it and test it, especially as I find it can vary significantly between each build. I do expect this to be the first racing game to have support for the Oculus Rift dev kit though so as soon as that's out I'll be paying a lot more attention to pCars.

I can't tell you how much I want to play this game. I wish they would let me give them money!

Their new video will make any petrol head quiver.

Apart from Live for Speed, which is widely regarded as one of the best OR implementations yet in any game. And it's had support for months.

I think pCars will always be a bit pants. They started off with the right mindset, but that was lost a while ago.

Assetto Corsa supports OR too, no idea how good the support is as I don't have a headset yet.

Haven't really paid much to this since its very initial stages, after everyone was criticising the first few builds.

However, that looks absolutely insane, far better than anything else out there IMO! Even if the handling isn't as good as the likes of iracing, I will be definitely purchasing on how it looks and sounds alone.

[Ekona]

What concerns me about this game is two things:

What kind of a PC beast will need to be built to make it look like the vids?
Are they spending any money at all on making the cars actually feel like you're driving a real car?


For all the faults with Forza5 and GT6 in terms of graphical definition, the physics are seriously impressive (F5 especially). If this doesn't get close, then you might as well just watch a video of racing.

[RobGT81]

To me, it seems to drift more and more to the world of arcadeyness with every build. Even more so after Assetto Corsa came out.

[Daston]

I would expect a decent current series graphics card to be able to handle the max settings at a reasonable frame rate. Good to see a developer is interested in getting the sound right!

[weyland yutani]

This felt better 18 months/two years ago, going nowhere imo and the graphics really aren't all that amazing either.

WOOHOO! I very nearly just fell off my chair! Just read that you will be able to compete in the Le Mans 24 Hours in real time against a 55 car mixed class grid, day and night!!

I dont know if there will be fully licensed teams but I don't really care too much about that right now as for years I have been wanting a game that authentically re-creates the LM24.

Sounds good, the interesting bit is about the 55 cars on the same track, this I want to see.

[stephen300o]

Hope the consoles are capable of doing that.

This is a cracking game, Ive been a apart of the alpha and beta. Takes sim to a whole new level.

Not fully 100% with the all the cars handling but nearly there.
