Not a great message to be sending out when you are still trying to fix a bug ridden game

I've given up with pCars, most of the cars feel very odd to drive. It's a game, not a sim IMO.

I've just about given up with it too. So regret splashing out on console, wheel and game, when it's really not much better than GT6. Graphics are slightly better, and engine sounds are nice. In all other respects I'd say GT6 on ps3 has it licked.

I had high hopes and expectations for this but I couldn't get on with the twitchy steering, no matter how much I played around with the settings. Damn shame. I'm waiting for the next Gran Turismo.

I didn't buy a wheel (thankfully), but I did buy a PS4 especially for the game and I regret it now.

I can't get on with it at all. Oversteer is too difficult to catch and the AI are kamikaze tts!

It's a shame as it has potential to be a fantastic game, some of the sights and sounds are stunning, but I can't find the want to play it anymore.

Some cars in the game feel great to drive, although that's not to say realistic as I can't honestly say I've driven an Audi R18. One stand out handling thing that does bother me is that road cars, especially the 911, are harder to drive and less forgiving than the race cars. That just doesn't make sense...

I put GT6 and the PS3 back on last night and did some of the seasonals that I've missed out on. Much more enjoyable than struggling through the dodgy 'career' on PCars.

I want to love Project cars but just find it very Meh

I've only spent a little time on it. A few series and now driving the Aston in Asia Cup. I was hoping it would get me off Destiney but it's just not keeping me that interested.


So doubt I will get the next game. Forza 6 for me

I've given up on it as well. I couldn't get the feel right with the wheel/forcefeedback settings. Always felt disconnected from the ground.
And Oculus support was terrible as well.

I'm done as well. It's got so much promise, but fundamentally it irritates the snot out of me during career mode, which seems far too long winded and cheaty for my taste.

It was career mode that put me off. Having to qualify every race, and starting qualifying on cold tyres...realistic, but fking boring. Felt like I'd been racing that fking Escort for years. It's getting traded now/

It highlighting how sims don't really work in the mass market, its real but then people do just want a casual race and don't want everything that comes with it.

Sad to hear so many negative experiences.

I love the game, feels about right to me. Good graphics and good sounds. But I just hot lap for the time trial on here mostly. So limited experience with actual races.

If you could just skip qualifying to get to 10th place on the grid or whatever, that'd be fine. Then you could have a short race, win out and move onto the next one and escape the deathly dull British circuits and the Ford Escort vs Mercedes SEL races.

I enjoy the game but it's got some pretty big flaws. As others have mentioned, road cars seem much harder to drive than race cars which is ridiculous - it takes a while to even be able to drive the McLaren F1 in a straight line without spinning. The AI is awful, too. So frustrating being rammed off the road as soon as you're close to a car or two.

How very dare you..... The British tracks are the best in the game!

I remember reading so much about the excitement of having laser scanned British tracks to ride on and now look hehe. I think the Career is aimed (again) at the most dedicated of drivers who want the realism of doing everything but It might be nice to have a more casual championship where you can just race, but then you can do that with quick races I suppose. Its not on the 2.0 patch notes either.

I really do not get the comments on how road cars should be easier to drive in anger than a race car, no slicks, road suspension and running gear, no aero. When you spin off in a road car, have a look at what speed you were going and ask yourself if your real road car would get round there that quickly....
