[@HugoStiglitz88]

@@DemonLordGamingAC0 are you 12 years old? It's funny, you criticize GTs realism while giving a completely unrealistic critique lol there's a spectrum of realism in racing games and gt is far closer to the realistic end. Just because it pales in comparison to assetto corsa and rfactor 2 doesn't change the fact that it was the most realistic racing game on console until AC was released, and is still easily #2 (I don't count ACC. It has shit FFB anyways)

[@paul2609]

@Angelo Griffith Most top sims don't have realistic visual damage model too but they are still highly regards sims especially on PC. -> iRacing has visual damage only on specific racing cars that can have their panels detached from the body, most cars don't. -> ACC have very limited visual damage model where a hood might be lifted up slightly, scratches via normal and diffuse maps but all the body panels stick with the car and the deformation is faked with normal/bump map. -> rFactor is basically no visual damage unless you use a mod. rFactor 2 might have on certain cars. -> GT7 does have a mechanical damage model but it has to be enabled, the latest patch added new offline and online events with the damage model where a crash would result in your car to have less performance, stability and downforce, in terms of visual damage it is similar to ACC but no hood lifting. -> Project Cars has a decent visual damage model where body parts will detach but otherwise a mediocre sim so no one really cared. -> Forza 7 have physical soft body deform and scratches like in ACC but that's pretty much it (no loose parts). It's also quite unrealistic since cars don't deform like clay, body panel should crunch/fold. From all the sims I listed I think only rFactor 2 has terminal damage where you can't continue to drive after a crash. (also Dirt Rally but that's a different kind of sim) All sims listed here do have some sort of mechanical damage that affects cars performance and handling. So if the top sims out there don't have proper damage model, we shouldn't expect Gran Turismo to somehow over-exceed in this realm either. A sim that is played well with a controller doesn't make it less of a sim, in GT7 you can see the steering rack indicator HUD in the middle of your screen, when you play with a controller you can see the steering rack movement simulates the non-linear curve and dampening of steering input like in real-life which is smart instead of the linear instantaneous input of the joystick in most other racing games, that is why GT7 is very usable with a controller, only disadvantage is there is no force feedback and you can't be as consistent compared to using a wheel. The reason why most other sims don't play well with a controller because they haven't done a sophisticated steering rack translation model for the joysticks (low priority), not necessarily because the physics don't allow it.

EA Killed the Project Cars franchise. It's over 😂. PC3 was the last one 😢

[@zensoredparagonbytes3985]

Project Cars 3 can be fun but it's got annoying quirks like not allowing to change motor parts configuration in the tuning menu when in career mode. You must install the parts before entering the race event if you want to tune them. You cannot for example try out better tyres instead of fuel injection, or better brakes instead of suspension. You must do it before to find the right combination of parts to stay in the car classification. Career mode can be challenging to achieve the objectives in order to progress and unlock higher tier events. Your choice of car, driving skills, and your knowledge of tuning the car correctly, are put to the test. (This is the fun part) You get only money if the tiers level up of your driver profile level. You get that from achieving event objectives and driver milestones. The latest update locks you out of the milestone progress which blocks unlocking other events (Invitational events) and levelling up your driver's level. Replays can only be watched if you save them and you can only have 15 saved or 1GB max. Project Cars 3 has great handling physics for a simcade, at times great graphics, great car and track list, great menu music. But it has these dumb design decisions I mentioned. If the progress system had not been locked I could almost recommend this game. Played on PS4 with controller.

Just for the record though, it was stated in the video Project Cars 2 improved from PC1 and was expected to improve on PC3 but you also have to keep in mind that's when Codemasters bought them and even though I don't know I'm sure it's safe to guess that CodeMasters influenced how Project Cars 3 came out. I don't think it's fair to jump all over Slightly Mad Studios. Slightly Mad came out with two games trying to be what they set out to be and as with anything it was a work in progress but when you have a new owner come in things can and in most cases change if the new owners want a change. As anyone knows whoever is spending the money usually has control over the final product. I know what I'm saying isn't revolutionary BUT it was said to be put out there as food for thought for those who didn't think of it. What do you guys think?

@@Nago15 I turn off antialiasing in every game aside from MSFS 2020, because it makes the game look way crisper and runs better. Win win

I'm not sure I've ever witnessed such a sustained commitment to sarcasm in a video review. Tremendous!

[@Razor-mt8ph]

Best review ever 👌😂 But joke aside. It's really sad where this title which is still called "Project Cars" is now. Well done Codemasters/SMS for just ignoring thousands of investors (=sim racers) who originally funded this game👏

[@1RolandG70]

RazorGaming I guarantee one thing. If this game tanks as bad as Shift2 did, the sim community won’t ever buy his BS again. That bridge has burnt to the bedrock. Fool me once...

[@ThePandafriend]

@@1RolandG70 Shift 2 was a pretty fun game though. Definitely not a sim, but nevertheless fun to play.

[@1RolandG70]

ThePandafriend Opinions vary... on console, on a wheel, it was a mess. Bottom line, if the direction was so good, if the game wasn’t beaten badly by its competition, why did Ian Bell do a complete 180° for the next two games?

[@Razor-mt8ph]

@Joey Farrell Yeah that might be right but PC2 at least had some improvements to the original sim racing oriented PC1 (ignoring now that we had to buy a new game for this) and I am finding it very suspicious that since Codemasters is on board the game made a 180° turn (no tire/fuel consumption and therefore no pit stops). But maybe I am missing something there.

[@ThePandafriend]

@@1RolandG70 Yep, it's just an opinion. I don't say that it's universal.

[@Lo-Fi-_-Gaming]

I'm surprisingly enjoying this game on my steam deck this 2023. I definitely did not enjoy this game on my driving wheel but this game is great on stick, runs so well and great way to waste my time during travels. I gave up on my full sim rants - project cars is dead so might as well enjoy 3 as a simcade joystick game. 😂

[@darynlowe7002]

All of that for just $135. A gift from the Gods. I'm surprised they left out the loot boxes which are becoming the norm in real-life racing, I'd have loved paying some extra money for a pair of furry dice or something.

Jesus, I saw the title and thought: “If he praises this I’m unfollowing because he has no idea what he’s talking about”. I was rewarded 😀

[@Timothymukansi]

This review was perfect (just like Project Cars 3 as a ultra realistic simulator). The bar has been set high for sims like ACC, RF2, and AMS2.

[@robinthebobin6537]

Forza Horizon has always been my fave sim racer before this (maybe NFS Heat as well), but the biblical proportions of the launch of this beautiful masterpiece change my opinion. PC3 is not just a sim racer, it can solve all the world problems. It will end all wars. It will end poverty. It will bring immortality to all life on earth. Random fact: If I had written down one positive about this game every day since the year 100 AD, I would only be 10% of the way through my list of positives about this piece of art. I look forward to when SMS release all the fairly priced dlc that is bound to come at some point in the future.

[@alexbrookes9439]

Pc3 just infuriates me as they're just trying to sell an arcade game as a full fledged sim. its selling it under the pc cars name and its not right. It's the worst game I've ever seen. the graphics are terrible, the car list is near identicale to pc2, it looks like a mobile game, its ridiculously overpriced, it looks awful with things like textures, the customisation is awful there are no visuale upgrades and it looks like noting happens, the ai are absolutely shite and also the sound is a definite downgrade compared to pc2. its 100% a cash grab which is going to finish the series it just makes me sad, very little effort has been put itno it and selling it for £60 is just theft. to me it seems that its more aimed towards people on controllers that like games like grid for example who dont really care about it being a full fledged sim. Nice video and love to see the pls no punterino
