Just watched the new video. Gameriot being chosen as the pcar 3 ambassador annoys me.
Any, It was better. Im just not going to let myself get excited for this game. I'll just have to wait and see.

Will pCARS3 be worth buying it full price by the end of 2020? Why not upgrading pCARS2 (which was already a great base) with some superb big-ass DLCs? With the latest gameplay video from Ogonoski and the declarations from SMS regarding the simulation aspect, I am convinced it will be a day-one buy from me. Still, my judgement on the game will be severe!
In a way, I am glad SMS uses techs they master at this point ; now they can focus on perfecting it and adding more depth (the variations, the subtleness, the amount of details, the photogrammetry, etc). But I also fear some of the old-gen tech used (like the amount of compressed data stored on a DVD or other in-engine limitations) will prevent the game to evolve as much as it could have. I very much hope to be proven wrong since I want the next pCARS to be even deeper and beautiful as a whole. There are many aspects that current-gen games do better than pCARS2 ; pCARS3 being a full new game/revolutionnary experience releasing at the end of life of this gen I expect it to be on-par if not superior in every way. Please SMS take notes from what Ams2 and ACC offered regarding FFB and physics reproduction. 30fps replays with pan scan just like GT Sport to be able to add much more details would be good also.
@IanBell, if SMS manage to deliver a neat and deep experience that greatly rewards the time and money invested in this hobby, please prepare Paypal.me & patreons accounts because we will want to support you guys even more!

He was chosen for Project CARS 2 also. I really don’t understand why.

I'm sorry but the statement "It's less about being championship based, less race weekend based, less calendar based. It's more about skipping from track to track" Doesn't confirm you won't have the option to enable practice and qualifying OUTSIDE of career mode, or even in it.
I see their aim with PC3 is to make it more engaging, while still keeping what the simracing fanbase loved about PC2. They said that too. They also said that they have lots more to announce, things aimed specifically at the simracers.

It's been confirmed with an interview with the developer that if I do buy this game I will not so much as touch the career mode.
I won't prejudge overall and I'll wait and see as always, but they've from the get-go confirmed the focus of career mode is to attract people who are not me. They've said some good things outside of that, but devs saying things is just devs saying things. I've heard devs say a LOT of things over the past couple decades.

Oh how about that, I was right about the "sense of speed" being an option. The news about the pad controls being improved sounds promising.

Now I'm going to be honest, I hope that there's also options for the U.I. so I can look at a HUD that's less in-your-face than the one I've seen already.

In fairness, how long do we believe a developer should continue updating a game? Even developers that are massively larger than SMS don't keep updating games for that long.
As for SMS, they are an incredibly small outfit and they've been working on their next project (pun intended) which is the very game we are all excited about and here to discuss.
Just to go back to the conversation about Interlagos, I was part of the WMD group that stayed on after PC2 was released to help test DLC and updates. Late on during that period we got a very early version of Interlagos in the daily builds - seriously early, as in basically a ribbon of tarmac floating in the sky, but it was there nonetheless. Regardless of my own misgivings about PC3, accusing SMS of lifting this track from F1 2019 is not correct.
In fact, I would suspect it might have been the first new track they finished given how long ago they started working on it...

Indeed, there was a fair bit of talk about Interlagos... to the point that they eventually had to say "this isn't for pCARS 2, it's something were hoping for in the future" (obviously meaning PC3). Now I suppose it's possible that after Codemasters took over the studio late in the game's development they had them throw out all the work they had done on it and try to plug assets from another Codies game into this one instead... but it's also possible that they both look similar since they are of course both recreations of the same track.

I have love the first and second game. But there were some things about the second game that I didn’t like. Some cars were just too unstable under acceleration and hard braking. The handling of a lot of the cars seemed like they were too stiff/rigid. Meaning that I couldn’t get the backs ends out or the cars to slide comfortably. It was either no slides or lose of control. This was really bad with the street cars. I saw the cars drifting around in the trailer so I hope they fixed that. I love the series and can’t wait to try this game.

Actually it's both. Trying to combine arcade and simulator games' best aspects into one game is quite difficult. If they pull it off right we might really be looking at a direct competitor to Gran Turismo.

Do you have proof its also Shift 3? Or as most of the speculative posts on here seem to be nothing but blah,blah,blah. The game is not out. We haven't played it. We don't know what settings they used in the videos we've seen.

I think Shift with Project Cars Physics and featuers would be a killer game. I love this idea to be honest.

Given half a chance I bet they'd be tempted to call it Shift. However EA own that IP.
Still its gonna be the next closest thing to Shift 3 in reality.
@beyond72 and @NekoPufferPPP were just pointing out that it looks like Shift 3, not that it is. And I can't say I disagree. Shift and Shift 2 were great anyway. Put a lot of time into those games. Wonder if we will see the drift events making a return?

SHIFT comparison fits what we know of pCARS 3 so far even without the physics comparison. The career structure and the spec upgrades we heard so far is similar to the SHIFT series.
Ian even said it will be a “SHIFT successor” back in 2018, I think it is fair to compare both games.
