What do you think?
The trailer looks pretty, until we get some hands on experience with the game then I’ll reserve judgement.
I am excited. Forza (Motorsport and most likely a new Horizon), The Crew, and now Project CARS? Should be a great year of racing games.

I am looking forward to those games as well
Project cars seems to be a big hype, so I hope it wont be a disappointment
I enjoyed Horizon, so I hope the rumors and supposed leaks of FH2 are true
and the Crew seems to be fun game - I just hope that the map is really that big and that there will be tons of content

It looks all well and good… But I’ve got only three concerns right now.
1: Car list
2: Car list
3: Car list
A car game must have an appealing list of cars, and for me the definition of an appealing car list is not that of what appeals to a mass audience. I’m keeping my interest in this to a minimum until there is some news about vintage Muscle Cars. The game looks cool, and the features look interesting, but without cars to draw me in I just can’t enjoy a racing game.

Here’s more up-to-date car and track list: http://www.playstationtrophies.org/forum/project-cars/223544-project-cars-car-track-list.html
So 65 cars so far, isn’t really all that much, but they really set themselves up for a lot of cars with the variety.
52 tracks which is a LOT especially since they appear to have near Forza level of graphical quality. That is awesome. I think I counted the cars and tracks right.
Almost the same number of cars as tracks is a definite no-buy point for me, as few of the cars I enjoy to drive in Forza 4 or 5 seem to be in Project Cars - yet. Sure, it’s nice to have lots of tracks, but if the cars don’t interest you enough, it’s pointless.
Where are all the American non-Fords and stock cars?
Project CARS; Bathurst in an Evo with T500RS, Fanatec CSP - YouTube the racing in the rain looks great too!
The first time I heard about this, I thought to myself “it must be a rumor”; Then my friend informed of a trailer for it, thinking that it’s probably a fan-made one, I went to see for myself. After seeing it, I was wrong, it looked amazing; I’m definitely looking forward to this one, though it won’t be until later this year!
you guys are aware its most likely not even going to look close to what you’ve seen in those videos right? It takes a beast to run those graphics.
Too true, the game is very pretty, but only if you have the hardware to have EVERYTHING on full. There is no way the X1 version will look that good, but it will still look good though. Handling wise I dont care for it too much at the moment, but its still a WIP so hoping it will improve. To me the cars feel a bit “floaty”, I will still probably pick up the full game for the X1 when it releases though, but only because of Cadwell park!!! Cadwell park is essentially my home track, since I am originally from Lincolnshire, and was only about 20 miles away from Louth where the track is located.
It seems that the car list is less diversified but the cars are more racing oriented, something I could get into. The track list is unbeatable!
I don’t see why it cant look at least as good as Forza 5. Forza 4 looked way better than 2 so there must be room for improvement!
It could look like FM5. pCars is also doing a lot more then FM5 is on a technical level which is where the power crunch is going to come from.
dynamic day night cycles.
dynamic weather.
the water isnt just an effect. It pools on the track causing you to aquaplane etc. It directly effects physics. You feel the grip levels change between the surfaces.
you lock up the brakes, you flat spot the tyre. That then effects you constantly.
and then the big one. Global Illumination. Thats a big reason as to why it looks so damn good. Not this prebakery rubbish.
Honestly, I wouldnt be surprised if thats the compromise to get it to work amongst other items on the consoles.

The physics are what worry me,if they are anything like Shift2,no buy for me

They are nothing like Shift 2 thankfully, Currently i’d put them slightly ahead of Forza 5/GT6 but slightly behind Assetto Corsa, Still got about 6 month dev time left on it if it manages to hit release time.
