Project Cars PS4 - Official topic

[confucuis]

It'd funny now if this turned out to be ste (in a horrible, vexing sort of way)
Still though think I'll pre-order it over the weekend but I'll stick with a controller! Hopefully I'll be able to keep up!

The car list is very small? I know its a racing sim and not a driving game but still?

Hopefully the smaller car selection will mean greater development has taken place on each car. Lets not forget the latest incarnation of Gran Turismo might have over 1000 cars but half of those were skylines and most are reiterations of the cars in the first GT game on PS1.

Anyhoo, i cant wait for next Friday.

Agreed. I own a lot of the cars in the latest gran turismo and those I don't own I could buy as I have a lot of money saved up in the game. Whilst racing online against friends I generally find I'm going back to the same few cars (normally premium historic racers and LM cars) so actually a lower number of cars would suit me.

And they all sounded the same and had stupid tyre squeal effects...

yup, i used to think the amount of cars was really important then there was GT6 where most of them were the same or just plain poor so from what ive seen project cars although doesnt have that many cars, the physics on them is pretty good and its always nice to hear some proper engine noises and not the hair dryers of GT6

Once we have all got our hands on this I, for one, would be very grateful for some feedback and advice on the optimum settings for wheel inputs and driver aids to get the most realistic experience

Initial thoughts blade?

Yeah how did it play Chris?

[brian394]

Does anyone know where I can find a thrust master 300rs wheel instock and at a decent price?

Left it to late to finally get round to buying one before next weekend and no-one seems to have them instock now... The horrors!!!

Also, about gutted it's coming out on the Friday as I'll be at thruxton all weekend, gives me something to look forward to the week after tho...

Dabs sold out of all T100s yesterday after having had loads in stock at beginning of week. its crazy that this far down the line there isn't a proper, reasonably priced, widely available licensed PS4 wheel

[russy01]

I purchased the T300rs from yoyotech, delivered next day for £241 - they had it on ebay too. I know they had stock last night as a friend purchased one.

I also have a T100 on the way from dabs. (Purchased this trying to be sensible and then caved for the T300.) If my dad doesn't want the T100 that might be available....

Don't forget the search for the T300 GTE too...

[brian394]

Russy, awesome. Thank you. I've also been considering getting a playseat as well (http://www.playseat.com/shop/eu/uk/playseat-thrustmaster-t500rs.html) with either the 500 or 300gte. I've asked in the overall pcars thread which is the better to go for.

Either way, I think the playseat deal is a good one... Hmmmm

[russy01]

Yes the Playseats look awesome, I just dont have a suitable place to put one at the moment. So I have had to compromise with a wheelstand and a Gaming beanbag, which is plenty good enough for the odd bash...

[Sway]

Already spent loads on myself this month, the missus will kill me...

Oh bugger it, count me in!

The wheel situation has seriously pissed me off though, I've a nice DFGT rig I made for GT on the PS3, that I retired in anticipation if breaking it out for the first decent driving game on PS4. Tossers.

[bigrich4]

Just pre-ordered the game off Amazon and the Thrustmaster T300 steering wheel from Yoyotech.... I hope it's worth it

OK, I'm all set for P-Cars now.... GameRacer rig & Fanatec 911 Turbo S wheel, with 3 pedals & manual shifter

Question for online play though:
1. Will we need a PSN+ (paid) account?
2. Is there a racing team type approach or private race lobby to the game, or is it every-man-for-himself based on individual scoring / ranking? So, basically I'm wondering if there'll be a PH group racing opportunity?

to play any game online you need Playstation Plus also im planning to run a PH champ once i can see Project Cars multiplayer settings, im pretty sure some other guys on PH will be running champs/race nights

I'll look out for any PH champs / events, fingers crossed there's a nicely managed option for such things.

I don't have PSN+ and can still online play a number of games for free, hence asking. I've not seen the pay-to-play requirement for P-Cars, so fingers crossed, but as more & more games have the subscription requirement, it might be a long shot.

Count me in for a championship, once I've got a new wheel and whatnot
