Agreed 100%. It's gross that SMS betrayed their entire fanbase and crowdfunders (which are the only reason the studio and this engine exists) by turning Project Cars into an arcade racer. Make it a new IP ffs.

[@DaWolftrax]

My main problem with this game is that graphically it is barely a noticeable upgrade (if there is any), while it downgrades on a lot of different elements, like fine tuning the time of day to what you want. Instead, you get presets and that's it. Also car classes are mixed up with cars from different eras and categories which looks really strange when you are driving a GT3 car and next to you is a F40 LM, it just looks way too out of place. My biggest gripe is that they haven't called it something like a spin-off like Project Shift or something, to differentiate this from the previous two titles, instead they called it as a main entry which is disingenuous.

[@MyName-yi4ws]

The numbers you have explained (resolutions) are NOT representative of the final quality of the graphics. In certain tracks and under certain conditions (Shanghai daytime or Texas Speedway with the rain), the game looks horrible on Xbox One X, with jaggies EVERYWHERE, low resolution, low frame rates, and screen tearing. Sometimes parts of the tracks look very pixelated. I don't remember a such poor performance for a racing game in the past six/seven years. If I did not buy the game yet, and I was watching this video, I could get the impression that the game is not that bad. You should do a better service to the customers.

I think you missed the point with this one, it's not a shift to 'better' engaging gameplay. pCARS was a SIM, made by sim racers for sim racers. They have now taken what was an awesome sim and turned it into another shithouse arcade racer of which there are so many of these it wasn't needed and just taken a massive dump on their userbase who invested time and money into the last two games and expected a continuation of that. Just because average users who cant give two shits about racing dont find sim racing interesting isn't a reason to do this, those who do like sim racing and understand it loved what pCARS was.

Hey nice profile picture

[@Punisher6791]

and im still here playing gran turismo 1 on the ps1 not complaining about the texture warping.

[@Space-O-2001]

I appreciate DF focus heavily on fidelity but this game is not a step forward in any way. Surely some research into the franchise wouldn't have hurt, you'd know PC2 is not classed as a sim and is very easy to get into.

[@Space-O-2001]

@@float32 So you collated all comments then worked out that 80% of the comments stated PC2 was just too hardcore (or the like?).

[@Toyeboy89]

In his opinion it's more fun. It was nearly impossible to drive some of the car's with a controller in PC2.

[@degeautd40]

Is project 3 Any better on ps5 now ??Than PS4 pro

[@GauginProductions]

man, youtube really butchered the quality on this one. Great video as always tho

[@carlosfer2201]

I know right, it looks blurry as hell.

[@carlosfer2201]

I'm glad the handling is better, but overall this is a slap in the face to the fans that built up the franchise. I'm calling it: this is the end.

[@bazookaxp3025]

Forza is still the gold standard. 1080/4k 60fps.

[@retropolis1]

@@HiN00bs12 Waht are you talking about. Forza looks great at 4K / 60 (just watch the Digital Foundry video about it) and actually, there are a lot of things that have changed since FM4. So much that some people actually prefer Forza Motorsport 4 over 7, so the changes are not all positive. The weather system alone makes a whole lot of a difference.

8:50 the building... nice improvement over project cars 2!

[@jerryk7862]

I believe Codemasters wanted to fuck up Slightly Mad Studios and they manage to do it

[@eSKAone-]

Nobody beats Gran Turismo Sport. It has no problems with the "limits of the consoles"♥️

[@FoRmaTiTo]

Oh boy, I better grab my popcorn...

[@mikefergus7563]

I loved project cars 2 and I'm soooo disappointed 😞

[@FelixAndrews]

Anyone else noticing that KZbin's 1080p bitrate has gotten way lower these past few weeks? It's blocky enough that I'm not sure the details DF are talking about are really all that visible.

[@GraveUypo]

indeed i have. getting some shitty looking videos even in very high resolutions. not sure wtf is going on

[@pobbityboppity1110]

The game premise sounds like fun (bring me the good old days of sim racers like Gran Turismo 3) but best played on BC on next gen, or on PC. Oof

[@existentialselkath1264]

Forza motorsport 5 had worse graphical tech but still managed to look more graphically impressive than this, how is that even possible?

[@iiStryker360]

This game is all trash from top to bottom and everywhere in between. GT Sport & Forza 7 are far better for the experience you’re going for.

[@fcukugimmeausername]

Yep. Arcade games are fine, but this just looks like a really bad game.

[@retrosoul8770]

@@fcukugimmeausername hey really not trying to troll but can we really call this an "arcade" game? When I think of an arcade racing game, I think of Outrun, Wipeout, Burnout, F-Zero, Need for Speed etc. Compared to those games this still seems a lot more realistic.

[@fcukugimmeausername]

@@retrosoul8770 Okay. Not sure. I guess it sits somewhere inbetween. I think people call them simcades.

[@retrosoul8770]

@@fcukugimmeausername yeahh I've heard that term before. Makes sense.

[@VaunShiz]

@@retrosoul8770 no it's arcade , simcade is in-between which is GT sport , Forza 7 , project cars 2 , sim racing leans into Assetto Corsa , rfactor , i-racing etc

'I went to the Azure Coast to test it out'. Generous expenses allowance at Eurogamer!

[@jamieslater8991]

You have to be "Slightly Mad" to even think about buying this crap!! 🥺 But, I ain't judging. Go ahead, make your purchase. 🤨

[@ThiagoBrito0]

You guys should have tested Automobilista 2 together!
