What is the Project CARS 2 Mysterious Twitter Countdown Teasing?
Slightly Mad Studios may have an announcement coming for its latest racer ... this week.

This article was published by Brendan Rorrison (@Brend) on February 6th, 2017 in the Project CARS 2 category.

We'll find out when it reaches 0.

We'll find out when it reaches 0.

That's actually been my main question: whether it kicks off at 1 or 0.

I'm assuming it's a fresh PCARS2 trailer. I think racing under Aurora Borealis will be pretty... er, pretty.

Opening of a Closed beta for people.
Wishful thinking.

 

[MisterWaffles]

I'd like a car list or release date.

 

[Formidable]

Don't think it'll be an open beta. Most likely possibility is a new official trailer release and maybe some more game info.

Like the people who have already put their money in a crowd funding envelope?

It's the countdown to when they reveal the game will not require you to search GTP for ps4 controller settings.

Is Ruapuna or Mount Panorama far enough south for Aurora Australis?

I really took a liking to Ruapuna, I hope it returns again.

Yeah that location is nice. Same for BRNO, ZIC and Zolder: 3 tracks I like a lot and have not seen in any other game before.

Not project cars 2. Its an update to project cars 1 to add rally cars and courses.

And i'll assume you've played the game to prove this then?

You can say that to every sequel game.

 

[shoemaker]

Of course not, though i hadnt seen any of the trailers though, just watched them and some screenshots....looks pukka. Hopefully it will be released before the summer. Preferably a finished version this time !

To be fair, much has been rewritten, many features have been added and it's rally cross cars that will be in the game, not rally. Also there are plenty of new cars from manufacturers existing in Project Cars and new to the series.

And the game is unlikely to be released until later in the year. The best guess is "Septemberish" to quote Ian Bell. However that is currently only an estimate.

 

[jaj_fox]

Maybe this time we have custom liver... Ops.. Wrong game.. Forget about it.

 

[brockie]

This will beat GTS I reckon, this is the new standard in racing games, I just have a feeling GTS will be a let down! Cant wait for my free copy of PC2 due to being apart of crowdfunding - this looks excellent y'all.......

Now why on earth would they do that when people are happy to pay to playtest their games? It's brilliant, really. They save some money on playtesting, because people are paying them to do that job for them.

 

[SeriousFox]

It's more than a playtest...

 

[SpawnCH]

It's Fuji Circuit, in Winter! OMG 👍

 

[JR98]

I'd love to be able to drive the Nordschliefe in the snow. Only other game I remember allowing you to do that was PGR4.

That would be special

 

[Brend]

I can't contain my hype for Project CARS 2, I want to believe this will be the game I need on PS4!

And Watkins Glen

If only I was allowed to talk...
Let's just say that you'll have to take it a few steps beyond just that.

I think it was unfortunate you played PCARS1 at launch. I remember you enjoyed it but just couldn't tolerate the issues it had. My experience with version 10.0 has been 99% trouble-free and based on that I'm willing to give SMS the benefit of the doubt for PCARS2, especially since it is getting proper QA testing on consoles this time.

Definitely, I still love the concept in general so I'm really hoping SMS can get it right this time.

 

[LogiForce]

I am smiling from ear to ear and laughing out loud here every time I race, cause even I am still amazed by the game whilst it develops. It's good!

Brno has been in all MotoGp games since 2. It was also in 24 Hours of Le Mans. I've seen Zolder in Super Trucks and I'm sure it also appeared in some of the SimBin games. If you don't know them it's because you haven't tried.

To be fair, much has been rewritten, many features have been added and it's rally cross cars that will be in the game, not rally. Also there are plenty of new cars from manufacturers existing in Project Cars and new to the series.

They better improve the controls when playing with a gamepad, driving aids (one of the worst I've ever seen), AI and bugs. The concept is great but they failed in many key areas the first time around! I feel SMS shot for the sky way too early.
