I think Project Cars backing project (and I was a backer of the first game) has created something akin to a cult. It's fanboyism + financial interest. Scary.
Shooters
LOL
Other racers with a more tactile feel and response between ground, wheel, and hands.
There's no public financial investment in pCARS 2 though..?I think Project Cars backing project (and I was a backer of the first game) has created something akin to a cult. It's fanboyism + financial interest. Scary.

Hence me saying PC backing project, not PC2 backing project.

Is HDR for PS4 coming via a patch? Seems odd that the XB1 has it but the PS4 doesn't.My review

Even with the patch the game has a large number of graphical issues, issues with the AI and its way of driving looking really odd. I tried to capture it in the video. Its like it gets confused and goes digital left, right, left right, in every corner like a kid hitting a digital steering pad versus analog or something. And it still feels a bit off. Somewhat like Project Cars where it feels like there is this strange fine layer of translation going on when your driving. Its not a pause. Its...just a bit numb. I spent hours in the FFB and in the controller settings. Based on PS4 and PS4pro versions. PC version wouldn't work.
As for control. Its better than Project Cars and not perfect. But I think some folks forget that some of these cars are BRUTES even with a steering wheel. Its insane. In a good way
That DOES NOT mean its bad. Its not. There is a ton of content and the career mode is the bomb and its fun. But my honest opinion is the racing scheme is pretty crowded with some excellent entries both already released and coming and this misses that instant buy mark.

I thought there was investment/crowd-funding for a limited period, but the only difference is this time around no one gets financial returns?

GTP is kicking off, BTW.

Wow, so the controller issues are still a thing?
I don't know man, from the time I played the game with a controller, it was worlds apart from Cars 1. Very satisfying indeed.
Perhaps something made its way into the latest builds or something?
Link?
In a strange twist it's now the wheel defaults that people are taking issue with.
Ya later patch.
There is no flickering to speak of in gameplay. In replays we reposition the shadow frustums to 'focus on the action' leading to some shadow issues away from the action. It's already improved for the next patch though.
Ian Bell is still saying there's no flickering in gameplay. Not sure if he's misinterpreting what you're saying or just blindly defending his product

Video doesn't exist.

Just recorded this in two spots. Normal gameplay. Patron requested it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_a9IK5kCKYg
Yeah, neither of those links work for me.Video doesn't exist.
This.Even without the financial incentive of the first one, I would imagine there is still some vested interest , as people might feel that PC2 is "their baby" as they were a member of the dev team (by proxy), the fanaticism that Ian shows doesn't help either.
Plus, people are mental.
Yeah, neither of those links work for me.
LOl patron just told me that lol. Sorry
at...what?

Ian implies you're liying about the embargo date.
Those video links work now - and I can see flickering in the trees. Hard to tell how much of this I'd actually notice in gameplay as I'm often oblivious to everything but the cockpit and road ahead, but its there alright.I can see them, but I am not sure what I am looking for........
controller with gears on Bumpers or paddles (Elite) and Accel/brake on rt stick, is sublime

Constant LOD shifts on the back windows of the cars ahead of me I'll notice, as I do in other games. But technically speaking the load times and any frame pacing issues are what could end up getting to me, if they're common.
Yeah, that is pretty rough at the end there.Its also super bad right at the end on the right. Patchable though. Least the game is really fun
Yeah, that is pretty rough at the end there.
I don't think that's the same issue you are reporting in your review. This doesn't look like flickering shadows, but like a LOD inconsistency, which in results is making shadows go ape. So, (two different problems that need patching? lol.
Not saying that anyone shouldn't be bothered by that, but it's not something that bothers me, apart from the bit on the right towards the end, I had to strain my eyes to see it!
Yup it'll bother some others not at all. I think I'm in the "it would bother me" camp. I'd rather have no shadows than flicking ones.
I'll take locked lower fps over stuttering any day, but I've friends quite the opposition. Some say Driveclub best console racing graphics, me I found it so murky and indistinct I can't play it properly.
I'd loose the trees if it meant 60fps!
I think it would be really weird if I jumped into the comments on a review thread of any game I had worked on, never mind if the head of a project was doing it, then again he has form!
Bell is the Iraqi Information Minister of game development.

The review embargo for coverage will lift Monday 18th September @ 15:00 CEST.
From what I gather, the D1P you talk about is not what was supposed to be D1P. Not that it matters for people buying the game, but it does matter if the review code is showing some glaring problems.My Embargo info says the following:
It means today at 3PM Central European Time.
EDIT: Also, there is a Day1 Patch coming apparently.

So, there was a D1P that reviewers got a couple of weeks ago with their review code, and there will be another different, newer, better D1P for consumers on Friday? I hope so.
That's my understanding.So, there was a D1P that reviewers got a couple of weeks ago with their review code,
That much I don't know.and there will be another different, newer, better D1P for consumers on Friday?
That much I don't know.
