PROJECT CARS 2 - DRY TO WET ! - LOOK AT THE WEATHER - PREVIEW

[@FALprofessional]

That wet-to-dry driving line effect is way cool!

[@simondischl7837]

Why is nobody doing any night-stuff in PC2, to me that's the most attractive feature next to the vast range of content. Just drove the nordschleife at night in Project Cars 1 yesterday and that was just amazing. (had to stop due to way whacky physics tho :D)

[@GamerMuscleVideos]

To scary

[@kristijanvlasic6936]

even better at night in snow

[@pauls9498]

can you do a Spa night race please, GT3 or faster :)

[@cyberschn1tzel997]

Dude, your vids are RADICAL Now get that vive back on your head. We are happy, if you are happy. (and i like that footage)

[@TheBod76]

I second that!

[@GamerMuscleVideos]

OK OK I need to get some more dirt 4 footage for a video on that then tV will go back in the corner and HMD back on head :P

[@cyberschn1tzel997]

GamerMuscleVideos also, lensflare moments, we're waiting for it

[@TheJAMF]

Press build, but once it rains, the rain on the right wing cycles through dry-raindrops-dry-raindrops. My pet-peeve with god-rays is that they continue into the cockpit/cabin, like you are driving with a smoke filled cockpit.

[@classiccview6679]

Had a motorcycle race a couple of years ago, Last 2 laps, a storm rolled over but the track only got hit by the far left tip of the storm. The result was 2 laps with only one extremely wet corner and half of the straight out of the corner. Only time I experienced something like that in real life

[@RedFoxRoaming]

Love the avalanche of vids lately

[@l5vdi]

what happens when you go to frozen lake track during the summer ? do you just fall to the bottom of the lake or are you spawned with a boat xd

[@GamerMuscleVideos]

You turn into a Finish man and the game unlocks sauna mode.

[@l5vdi]

Could you do a Low vs High graphic settings video ? since my pc specs are on the lower side

[@ryansemrau7058]

GamerMuscleVideos that sounds good. I'm gonna go take a sauna at the Finn camp.

[@Uhreg]

Finnish* corrects the Finnish man

[@budthecyborg4575]

They could still run the ice track in summer if you're driving a Icelandic Hill Climber.

[@drizz786]

i actually applauded at the end , nicely done. 2 hiccupps in vid but i'm a picky so and so . great work lads doin a good promo for you and PC2 .

[@SouthernYankee10000]

i like how the tires got cold when the rain came. i like the realism.

[@TheBod76]

Coffee???? The Queen is allready sending her guards to your house to confiscate your passport!

[@GamerMuscleVideos]

Thats ok UK pass port only lets you go to Dover these days.

[@royplaza657]

This comment is perfect to start the day, I'm laughing so badly 😂😂

[@GrooveFederation]

Mrstig691: "The queen can't do anything, the country is the founded of common law democracy :)" correct up until 1 week ago, where democracy has been thrown clear out the window since the tories have passed that new bill which will allow them to circumvent democratic voting and not have bills/acts/laws voted up or down in parliament if they so wish too, scary times ahead :/

[@Stubs66]

Loving your good old fashioned review format !

[@riman8493]

Nice, enjoyable vid as always. I think it's the humor and the light mood that cheers me up =). A suggestion, GM - try putting on wet tyres and doing some laps on a saturated track. See how you still have grip in the wet, but once you go through a puddle, it's all aquaplaning and no hope =) - depends on the puddle depth, of course.

[@cdrseabee]

Maybe longer race and get rain tyres and see the difference?

[@GamerMuscleVideos]

will certainly do that in the review / retail version :)

[@AdriCovers]

If you look at the right fender at 9:05 or so, you can see the rain drops. Then they go and come back to the exact same spot. I hope it´s just a press release game thing because feels not completely done yet

[@Tintop]

AdriGames why do you 'HOPE' this? Is this a game breaker and the game will be unplayable then?

[@fetB]

I hope so too. Their rain animation is very cheap and basically copy paste from pc1. It's a basic texture repeating itself in a very obvious manner. Like on a windscreen, the wipers produce some sort of forcefield preventing new rain to land for a second or 2 aka until the texture is laid over again. Also, when the wipers move, they dont even clear all drops. It goes over them like they're invincible. It's just really bad and basic

[@iamanass100]

It's not suppose to be like that. That's the texture, but it's not suppose to disappear and reappear. That much I know for sure, because that's not how the effect behaves in other videos, or pCars1 for that matter.

[@fetB]

SilentStorm maybe stop exaggerating like a child first. Nobody said its ruined

[@Tintop]

fetB Nobody said it, bit some people think it

[@wobblyrampack9655]

Nicely driven! I would end up pointing backwards in those conditions on slicks. Going to make for some fun tactical races - whether to change tyres, when to change, or stay out and try to survive! Loving your current video storm James!

[@budthecyborg4575]

20:00 Someone else remembers PGR! PGR2 is still one of my fondest memories of any racing game. Best looking game on OG Xbox. Even if it was mostly an arcade game it was definitely one of the formative games in racing game history.

[@RandomGuitarist7]

Of course we do remember that game. I had PGR 3 on the 360 but I was not into track racing at the time. Physics felt really good anyway.

[@davidenativo]

A cup of coffee that long is not coffee, it's dark brown colored water

[@budthecyborg4575]

The old Maserati 12 cylinder F1 car is becoming one of my favorite cars in Assetto Corsa. The handling is so different from anything else that it's just fun from the perspective of being totally unlike any other kind of racing.

[@GamerMuscleVideos]

Its a 4 wheel bike with a motor lol your right though its awesome to drive like going for a ski in a car !

[@TheExtraMile]

Extremely interesting and informative video! It was very interesting to see how the transition from dry to wet was very gradual in terms of visuals AND physics. The grip levels also seemed very realistic and seem to reflect the conditions well. Would be interesting to see an EVO for example in wet conditions. AWD powersliding should be good fun then :)

[@asedaaboagye5877]

16:20 - Hmm, that's actually surprising to me. When I was on track in the rain, the (dry) racing line was the "shiniest" in appearance and also had the least grip. Driving about a car width's off line actually gave more grip.

[@EvelynVoid]

Have you tried wet drifting yet? Could be a fun video.

[@Ben-Rogue]

That AI is still a mess, ramming you mid corner and on straights, that'd piss me off to no end

[@williamgraves8122]

Ben B did you expect it to magically get better without an update or something

[@Bluppsn]

I think he's comparing it to project cars 1, that was 2 years ago.

[@laos85]

It's kinda shit that most sim racing game title don't have an appropriate racing rule and penalties or at all.

[@williamgraves8122]

Bluppsn oh true

[@pimphandgamester]

Maybe the A.i got penalized? Ramming and shoving is what true racing is all about imo.

[@josephpaul8911]

Youve got an amazing setup! Super cool videos and commentary. I loved the way you did the formula 1 snow commentary. I can only dream to have a rig such as yours. I cant even afford a cheap xbox wheel. Keep it up!

[@davephillips6276]

Pre ordered this bad boy...can't wait to put the pedal to the metal in a Porsche!!!

[@getsideways7257]

Thank you for going non-VR this time around. Just tried watching Jimmy's historical Spa video, and the constant jerky viewpoint wandering made me quit real soon. As for Project Cars 2 itself, somehow this video left me questioning the physics... Of course, I understand that I need to try it out myself before being able to judge it. Good thing there are refunds... Hopefully, I won't need to use those... Absolutely agree with you on pretty much everything you said about difficulty vs. realism. And that's another reason to pick Dirt 4 over Dirt Rally. But you are right that a really good sim should be more difficult to drive than a real car. The lack of g-forces, the input lag, the imperfection of FFB, among other things, all that should make it harder on the pilot. Still, real cars are made to be as driveable as possible without sacrificing the other qualities, so a very realistic car sim shouldn't be extremely difficult to drive fast enough. However, actual RL pilots with almost no virtual experience might have a problem adapting...

[@essa28_fsr]

Couple little graphical things I noticed whilst watching but tbh when I get this game at the end of the month (and yes I'm sorry it will be the PS4 version for now till I get to build a pc) it's stuff you would never notice whilst playing. Game looks amazing though and keep flexing those muscle's with videos like this thanks :)

[@Stellar77x]

WOW this race might not be much racing wise but it looked amazing to see Lambo speed away from you in the sunset and other cars

[@neopickaze]

Great content, can't wait for the game, hopefully the weird transparent tree pop-in is fixed in the new builds :)

[@rodstawaa]

3:30 Hey that's me in Pole Position 😃😃😃

[@paulmclaine6413]

Concerning the wet patch Mate . It's unavoidable but rolling to one side or the other alleviates the problem.

[@thetruthseeker8841]

What i would love to see is a Wet to Dry... in PC1, the wet to dry is ridiculously unrealistic... Its full wet a minute, bone dry the next...

[@beefheart666]

yep, I agree. In Gran Turismo 5 the transition was handled much better.

[@jasonpoole7073]

Something I would be interested to see is how it handles in the wet on wet tires using the 'wet racing line'. So wide entry avoiding the apex.

[@GamerMuscleVideos]

Yep will be testing that more in the retail build :) I think the wet and tires don't have proper grip values in the press build !

[@jasonpoole7073]

GamerMuscleVideos Awesome. Looking forward to more great content.

[@jasonz7799]

This looks absolutely amazing! If we are going rank racing sims by physics, e.g. rf2-Ir-Ac.... where would you put PC2?

[@Boosterdq]

Nice Video, Good Work, I did notice the car was fat with fuel! probably why you was slow in the straights compared to the other radicals!

[@Averna222]

Did you make sure to check your rig for spiders this time?

[@DiVaLiVa9]

Hey gamer muscle! Can you please tell me how the physics are compared to AC? I'm not a fanboy I am just tired of all the KZbin's dodging the question with "It's an early build" or "I haven't played ac in a while". We are trusting your opinion and using it to decide if we spend out our hard earned money, so please can we have a straight forward answer. If it's worse than ac fine ill still buy it, just want some truth.

[@GamerMuscleVideos]

Its different to AC , FFB is not as good as ac in my opinion but the general handling is in the same ball park as other PC simulators , some of the cars are really good and no worse than other cars in AC/R3E/iRacing and what have you. As to if its worth getting it will depend on how much you value the day night weather and specifc cars in PC2 and then how well the multiplayer works. If you are on the fence with a game wait for it to come out before buying it so you don't get burned if its not what you were expecting, It will be interesting to see how polished all the cars are in the final version and what changes have been made to AI / FFB and other things. VR works really well with it as it is now and I think the bac mono and most the slower cars especially driving them on dirt is really fun, the cars dont have the on rails then no grip / weard slop like project cars 1 did. when the review copy of the game comes out I'll do up date videos on what the retail copy is like :)

[@DiVaLiVa9]

GamerMuscleVideos thank you bro. Much appreciated! Subscriber earned

[@krimskrams9339]

Are you allowed to do a livestream with the "preview version"? Id love to watch that!

[@GamerMuscleVideos]

The PACMAN has not given permission for live streams yet have to wait for newer press build I assume :)

[@Frost_Saber]

I remember watching something on F1 that there is actually more grip in the rain off the racing line because there is less rubber stuck to the track there, of course you'd actually need to have rain tyres too. Anyone know if Pcars2 has this or no?

[@rollercoaster3freak]

11:40 what is happening with that rain effect on the right wheel :D

[@hitmaniak1737]

right wheel: -rain -no rain -rain -no rain -rain -no rain .................

[@WR3ND]

The pop in and out on the trees, fog effects, and shadows are a fair bit annoying. Any word on if they'll be fixing it? Either way, looks like a decent racing sim game overall, which I currently plan on picking up sooner or later.

[@brussells]

So, have you pre-ordered PC2? You seem to covering a lot of the different elements of it, and it looks a lot more of a complete game than PC1 ended up being.

[@CASEMSTR]

The invisible Trees trip me out.

[@Lrapsody27]

Theey fixed the weird collision physics from the first game :)

[@GregzVR]

Check for Spiders before driving this time!

[@salman534]

16:40 You loose grip on the racing line in the wet!

[@JimmyTurboMods]

@13:58 that blind Lambo just attempts to drive through you. What's up with the semi-transparent 100m board just afterwards? I know this is a preview build - I'm just pointing out things I see that I hope can be improved before release.

[@MrChisep]

Hello ! Thanks for your job's ! I have one questions : in Pcars2 , relay drivers is preview for endurance race ? Sorry for the english , french touch ^^

[@CortMarshal]

Silverstone is fantastic in this sim

[@Kert137]

Can you make the same the other way around so from wet to dry to see the drying line? :)

[@Recon777x]

Very strange, has anyone noticed that the raindrops collect on the car near the wheel and then periodically vanish as if cleared by wipers, then collect all over again.

[@ObjectifRacing]

Nice Review man, Thanks ;)

[@G00DBYEP0RKPIE]

Great video. Can't wait for this. I've pre ordered the deluxe version on Xbox and I've pre ordered a Project Scorpio. :)

[@GamerMuscleVideos]

You should pre order a PC ;) You can use it for work and gaming !!!! I tell you nothing is more exciting than doing spread sheet calculations and managing your budget whilst also playing games on a second screen. that's right I KNOW HOW TO LIVE ! Hope you have fun with the new console though, I might pick up a PS4 at some point but I keep putting it off.

[@G00DBYEP0RKPIE]

GamerMuscleVideos I'm now poor so the Xbox will do me fine. HAHAHA

[@England91]

G00DBYEP0RKPIE What?? You realise that a pc that you can build at the same cost will out perform any of the consoles and if don't know how to build just look on here or ask friends/family

[@G00DBYEP0RKPIE]

Paul Banks as I said I'm happy with the Xbox, I do not want a PC.

[@RacingAtHome]

I completely agree. GT3s are meant to be easy to drive and race. if they're difficult to drive, that's unrealistic.

[@waynefrancis4291]

Why didn't you pit in for wets to see how they handled in the rain ?

[@DeBanked]

will this get a full review or vs AC?? i am waiting to see if thrustmaster will replace my pedals that stop working, this is looking really great

[@tomasbeha1645]

Looks like an awful lot of transparent trees, you should try and disable "AA Transparency" in your graphics driver.

[@Baltuc_Racing]

any idea how demanding it will be to run with all spec turned up..will a single gtx 1080ti be enough for tripple screen setup ?

[@GamerMuscleVideos]

I cannot say with the press version I have as its not been fully optimised yet, I also don't have 3x screens to test it with :(

[@Baltuc_Racing]

hmmm then ill get 2 just to be sure ;)

[@x_Paine_x]

Shouldn't the grip be off the racing line in the wet? hope they fix that

[@alesais1816]

oh my gooodd!!!! your way to drive is a nightmare!!! keep your hands in 9:15 please!!

[@MadAlPlays]

You didn't restart the game after changing graphics settings...ghost trees (changed the AA setting?)

[@TheKincognito]

See what you did there ^^ Not changing the Tyres so that you can show off your badass driving skillz

[@chimpyman92]

You know I'm not sure if you ever said. You buying pcars 2 day one? Or at all. This is a press build so I'm sure it's free just to test.

[@TheBozzgee]

Do you think you could do a video of your thoughts of PCARS2 with a consumer wheel? 👍👍👍

[@elton857]

Is that a Sesto Elemento?

[@GamerMuscleVideos]

yep

[@elton857]

GamerMuscleVideos guess I'm ready to buy the game.

[@yrtracingteam106]

Have you noticed that when youre in cocpit mode and use the windshieldwhipers and double the whipe speed it starts to rain twice as fast..instantly. So funny! Almost as funny to see that the cocpit mirror of closed cars dirty up the same amount as the outer mirrors. Love the game tho. Even 16 months later! 😎 the Netherlands 🚦🏁

[@DonGranatoII]

Why nobody show the crash physiks? Is it so bad?

[@sahad30]

So what do you feel about PC2 (Non VR) as a whole? Is it a good sim judging by the more polished cars in the game? I really want to buy a new racing sim and would want to know your thoughts on it

[@aidenrylott6688]

I want a vr feature where you can watch races from the stands.

[@xperttii]

Seems like the AI has a lot of fake grip. Hopefully they tweak that for the full release

[@motelghost477]

Will PC2 work with the DK2?

[@TheMightyDodger]

I would welcome it, if you could do your videos in VR again...

[@jinx20001]

looks a good game, loved project cars 1 so will be buying this but my worry from this video is that Ai, it doesnt look anywhere near as dynamic and realistic as something like f1 2017. no real awareness of where you are, ive yet to be rammed on f1 2017 as the Ai will spot you brake checking them and dive left and right to avoid you. then there was the way you car was sliding around while the Ai was seemingly unaffected, in fact the Ai seemed to make more mistakes in the dry. still... it does look great and the racing looks challenging enough, i just wish racing sims started focusing on opponent realism, i want to see more mistakes, more tyre failures, more accidents, more sliding. we need to get passed this train track phase already.

[@1980venom]

For me the best racing sim on consoles is Project Cars, but the developers need to keep working on the AI. Ok, they did a good job on the AI losing grip and is really fun to watch, but real racers that drive expensive cars try their best not to crash into other racers and that's something they need to work on it. But they're in the good direction of making the perfect sim. Little nag from my side is the graphics, combine the rain realism from DriveClub and the graphics from Forza Motorsport 7 (not a FM fan at all) and PC would be the best.

[@RJW14]

from my personal experience, it almost looks like you're on inters for a long time into the rain. I've driven a wet zandvoort on slicks. No grip. None of it.

[@MrDeanooo]

Noticed the AI have far too much grip on slicks in wet weather than the player has. Also the ramming from AI is still there from previous title.

[@richardwhite6071]

Maybe I need to take some of the sharpness of my TV cause the graphics look better on my laptop, than on my full range TV!

[@Follett2121]

Please drive the old 240z!

[@gruuthuse]

I'm actually doing my accounting while i'm listening to your whining..... and its MEGA entertaining. cant wait to get in to my new house with my new sim cockpit ... for the moment all of my stuff (gtx1080/thrustmaster/vive etc..) is in boxes and have been for over 6 months PPFFFFFFFF its killing me not to drive sims ....but at least i can listen to you ! ;-)

[@DJHeroMasta]

I Wanna See Some Drunk VR Racing! Anyone Else?

[@GamerMuscleVideos]

I only drink when its to have a beer with a curry/spicy food/i'm on holiday don't enjoy getting drunk unfortunately :)

[@DJHeroMasta]

Ah okay. I don't drink at all so 😛 But if you ever decide to get a little tipsy, I'll be your first viewer.😂

[@GTsimms]

I don't think it would be a good idea to get drunk in VR. When someone gets VR sickness with being intoxicated. That would be a horrible mess of vomit to clean from the bottom of a $$$ VR headset.

[@ernestochang1744]

yes yes, but the important question is... Can you play it with a controller?

[@lukecampbell5553]

You be being like lightning McQueen not wanting to change them tyres, smh

[@cjr96]

Recomend me a steering wheel/pedals with force feedback for project cars with flappy paddelsl gears dont want to spend a fortune though...

[@tanguydebraekeleer1216]

Could you drive a lamborghini huracan super trofeo once? I woild like to see that

[@eetuli85]

AI still seems way too fast on slicks when it starts to rain. It ruined dynamic weather racing on Pcars1.

[@SuperMonkey221]

So how high can you put the settings on the 1070? I have a 1060 and would love to know how well this game runs.

[@GamerMuscleVideos]

Mid to High depending on what you chose should look fine on 1060 in 2D 1080p id have thought

[@SuperMonkey221]

That seems promising. Not sure if you take sugestions but i would love to see you do a hotlap of the nurburgring in the Zonda R or perhaps some Formula A action. Keep up the good content

[@Lemming1970]

hope they sort those rain effects out. look at the right wing. Spots of rain, gone, spots of rain, gone over and over. found it very distracting just watching the video.

[@TTD-Fire]

4:15 If you are an F1 fan you will understand 😅

[@dazonyt8094]

So when did all the AI cars pit for wet tyres? You were struggling like a good 'un yet they were taking corners as if there was barely any water on track.

[@kevinharkness2108]

Keep the car in higher gears than normal, even on corners, and dont use all the revs before shifting up.

[@3rdaxis649]

When is this game coming out?

[@HowlerBikeVlogs]

22nd september mate

[@sjwilli1972]

Loving your pc2 videos, thanks to you I will be buying the game on release rather than waiting. It's GT40 lmfao....good bye

[@TMERUNNR]

Dry to Wet only happens when I dream of Heidi Klum!!! Oh, you were talking about PC2 OOPS, SORRY TMI!!!

[@yakimpekrew0073]

slt l amie je voudrais s avoir l Accuforce pro V2 et t il bien car j hésite entre le fanatec v2.5 ou l accuforce et til bien fiable merci de me repondre

[@Knezicdex]

Is the game playable with a keyboard?

[@GamerMuscleVideos]

yes but its going to be really hard !

[@TheStu9000]

gtx 1070, the choice of champions

[@EmesiS]

Wow lots of Pcars 2 videos lately. Are you starting to favour it a bit?

[@GamerMuscleVideos]

Racing sims are like children you cannot favour them and they all belong locked under the stare case in the cupboard.

[@1freddy1b]

someone call children services! @gamerMuscleVideos is locking up children!! :D

[@HowlerBikeVlogs]

the hell is a "stare" case...? had a long night?

[@getsideways7257]

If you attempt locking kids in a cupboard, you'll have a case or people staring at you

[@laos85]

We need for sim racing game is appropriate racing rules! Realistic car engine simulating.

[@proto35]

our mice touched

[@Andybarney555]

Its chris evens!!!😂😂

[@doOf3r]

PC2 AI is just like PC1 AI..What rain? What lack of grip?

[@DavidKFZ]

Looks like air hockey
