Looks incredible.

Day 1 purchase for me, just need to decide which version to get. PS4 one will probably perform better but the Xbox One has those rumbling triggers...

 

[cyberheater]

Is it still being published on Wii U?

Can't see it selling that well on that console.

As far as I know. It's not been cancelled on that platform.

Yeah... They already cancelled 360/PS3 but somehow still releasing it on WiiU.

The only logical reason I see for that is that they have a contract with Nintendo and they can't get out of it. Other than that there's really no logical reasons for releasing it on WiiU.

 

[DrWong]

As far as I know. It's not been cancelled on that platform.

Wii U is listed in this trailer and there's a packshot on the official site, but no release date yet.

 

[Conkerkid11]

That first post.

So when's it coming out?

Just want to see what its like to like, you know,, actually play the damn game.

These sort of trailers showing short clips of cars from different angles is a bore and does nothing to tell me what the game is like to play.

The game has been playable for quite sometime now. If you want to watch someone play the game, find a video on YouTube. Tons of people backed the game and have been uploading videos since day 1. This is a trailer. It does what a trailer's supposed to do.

 

[DieH@rd]

Go to the YT and see thousand videos of pCARS in action. Start with Rene Rast, successful professional driver who uses this game as his home simulator.

[shinobi602]

Will keep an eye on this, but as someone who's getting Forza 6 and GT7, is there anything special or unique that should sway me towards it?

 

[thelastword]

This doesn't look impressive at all, it's been too long in development and it shows.

 

[Kezen]

Looks great, can't wait to see it on PC in its full glory :

Gimme dat Turbulence.

 

[Castef]

Looks great

Gh!

Unlike GT7, it's actually coming out. Also it won't have PS2 cars in it.

 

[RoKKeR]

Great trailer, might have to pick this thing up to tide me over until Forza 6. Seems like they are packing in a lot of features for racing fans.

No release date in the trailer?

Edit: Also any word on XBO performance?

 

[cyberheater]

LOL.

 

[DrGonzo615]

As long as the physics are good, its got a good track/cars selection, and a fun career, this will be awesome.

Little worried about how good it will be with a controller though, not looking to spend $400 on a decent wheel (wheres my goddamn GT wheel support!?)

 

[Drifters]

As a person who serves the DriveClub Kool-Aid, competition is good!

 

[Phinor]

No, it is a full hardcore driving sim with option to reduce down the difficulty of driving.

I wouldn't use the word hardcore unless they radically change the direction of the game just before release. It does lean towards sim a bit more than arcade but that's about it.

 

[Megasoum]

While I agree with you... When compared to Driveclub it is a hardcore sim racer lol.

To those that are into driving games. What does thiss have to offer relative to Drive Club apart from running at 60fps?

 

[Noobcraft]

It's a Sim, it has real tracks, and it has tons of content on day 1.

 

[Drifters]

I would say real world tracks is nice, but nothing DC couldn't do in an add-on.

 

[Megasoum]

I would say real world tracks is nice, but nothing DC couldn't do in an add-on.

It would be one hell of a addon to add all those racing cars, real world tracks, actual career, qualifications, pitstops, etc.

 

[radeonxt]

Will keep an eye on this, but as someone who's getting Forza 6 and GT7, is there anything special or unique that should sway me towards it?

Yes, this is a sim, forza and GT are semi-sims.

Completely different games...

Don't forget physics and game mechanics...

 

[CaptainOblivious]

Driveclub is not a sim and never will be. Driveclub will never be 60fps either.

It aims to immerse you more in the racing experience than either of those. You have to plan for race ending damage, weather popping up and ruining your day, you got to pit, strategize, etc.

If you're happy with Forza and GT and don't see yourself needing more than you can probably do without it. I'm enjoying everything because they reall aimed to bring motorsport to a modern game engine, whereas other pc sims, while great, are built upon older tech.

 

[cackhyena]

Wish I could try this out first.

 

[The Elite]

I don't think DriveClub is comparable to Pcars/Forza/Gran Turismo style games.

 

[shandy706]

Is there a car roster up anywhere?

Definitely looking forward to grabbing this.

Edit: Found car roster. Eh. Better than most.

I'd like a link.

I'm also curious as to if the console versions have all the same features?????


Edit** Why in the world are people bringing up DC? Two completely different types of games that are in no way are comparable outside of "you drive cars". Might as well compare Mario Kart to PCars.

 

[Megasoum]

PS4 and XB1 will have the same features (minus some graphical stuff obviously) as the PC version.

Not sure about WIiU but should be similar.

 

[Sakujou]

it can be better than drive club, but the hype is gone. drive club dissappointment all over my face.

Don't forget the flag system, a huge aspect of racing that console sims overlook

Wait does it have that? Do you just game over a race if your car gets totaled? That's awesome if true.

 

[Megasoum]

Of course (if you choose to play with damages obviously)

 

[op_ivy]

the curse of the racing game thread. brings out all the ignorance of the genre, comparisons, and fanboy wars. not even multiplatform racers are safe from this battle of bias.

 

[Noobcraft]

Does it have a reward system for having damage on? More credits or w/e for finishing a race?

 

[Liamario]

How solid is that framerate on current gen console.

 

[GoldenCrow]

Can't wait for this. I wasn't so keen on an early build handling model (didn't take any more than a few mins to get used to though) but the game was already great back then so I can't wait to see what this is like on release.

 

[op_ivy]

i imagine the AI is pretty spectacular? i thought that was one of the highlights of shift and shift 2.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Yeah... They already cancelled 360/PS3 but somehow still releasing it on WiiU.

The only logical reason I see for that is that they have a contract with Nintendo and they can't get out of it. Other than that there's really no logical reasons for releasing it on WiiU.

Wii U was the first console version announced and I believe was a stated goal during the crowd-funding. It would be pretty scummy to cancel that version.

 

[plank]

Can't see it selling that well on that console.

Its the only racing simulator on that system.

 

[Jamesways]

the handling + camera options of shift + large track selection + 60 fps = winner. might be tough for fm6 to top this for me

Ditto. Been looking forward to playing this on consoles for years. And I've put money in to support development even though I don't have a PC.

The very fact that it has more of an emphasis on actual Motorsport and a large track list over a unlocking progression style of collecting hundreds of cars puts this as the most anticipated game for me. The track list is looking fantastic.

I will finally live out my racing fantasy of being a GT3 driver in a Championship series in a proper sim on consoles.

Cannot wait!

 

[SavoyPrime]

I haven't been into racing games since Gran Turismo 2 and the Burnout series on the PS2. But I must say that Project CARS interests me. Not sure if I'll pick it up or not tho.

 

[Megasoum]

Wii U was the first console version announced and I believe was a stated goal during the crowd-funding. It would be pretty scummy to cancel that version.

360 and PS3 were also part of the crowd funding but they polled the members and we said fuck it, can them. It's not worth the money and time invested versus what you would get in return.

The same equation can be said about WiiU (even more so) but they are not canceling it.

 

[Castef]

Its the only racing simulator on that system.

Racing simulation fans have probably a different platform to play on.

 

[Radec]

Looks good. Logo looks like forza lol.

 

[Watevaman]

Racing simulation fans have probably a different platform to play on.

Well, yeah, but the fact that it's the only racing simulator on the WiiU means that anyone who happens to have that console and an interest may pick it up. I personally don't think it'll sell very well, but it should have an audience.

 

[bombshell]

Logitech wheel support on PS4 please.

 

[cyberheater]

It's a Sim, it has real tracks, and it has tons of content on day 1.

So really hard to control then?

 

[radeonxt]

Is there any image of the wiiu version?

 

[bombshell]

So really hard to control then?

On full sim settings, but you can customize that.

You can dial the handling to anything from a complete sim experience to something more casual. With Project CARS you’ll truly be able to make it your own.

 

[Jamesways]

So really hard to control then?

Not necessarily. It does have aids you can use to make cars more manageable.

Sim simply means realistic.
