Project CARS 3 Update Adds Bahrain Circuit, and Style Pack

This is the discussion thread for a recent post on GTPlanet:

Still no Le Mans.

I saw this game given for free with any G923 purchase on one of the local stores recently. Something tells me it's not selling well.

these numbers looks just laughable

on consoles probably doesn't look better

 

lol, meanwhile, PCARS2 having 10x more players still playing it.

The future's not so bright for SMS...

 

I could be wrong, but I think this is the first non-F1 game to have Bahrain.

 

If people gave it a shot they would enjoy Pcars 3. It's a great game with a wide variety of events. The tracks are great and so too the cars handling. And no probs with framerate of video quality.
At first I almost gave up but once I persevered I came to really enjoy it...so much so I enjoy it more than Pcars 2 and can't stop playing.
Just recently I've completed Career from Road to GT Open categories and in-between also enjoying the Rivals category of events.
Pretty soon I'll be delving to Bonus and other categories.

 

They've butchered the sound of my favorite sounding car from PCARS2. It doesn't even rev correctly either; the sound amps up too quickly compared to the rpms' rising...hard to explain. I ain't playing it out of spite. Simple as that. Think of me whatever you want...



Sure, the career mode is better than in PCARS2, but in my case, I just want to drive... If I want a career experience, I'll start up Gran Turismo.

PCARS2 looked like and had features of a professional sim. PCARS3 is just childish and simplified - though not necessarily a bad thing, that's not what the Project Community Assisted Racing Simulator community is looking for.

I've said it plenty of times and I'll say it however many more times it takes: It should not have been called PCARS3. It's a spinoff, not a successor.

 

I really wish Bahrain International Circuit got more love in games.

 

TOCA Race Driver 2 and 3 had Bahrain. Had pretty much every variation of the track too, if I recall, including the outer loop F1 will be racing on soon!

 

Please help i cant access the style pack on the xbox, the new track is working but not the car pack?

 

The pack isn’t available as the update (and track) were accidentally released early.

 

Very strange

 

I had to laugh in the article when it mentioned one of the Bahrain layouts uses an alternative pit lane.

Won't matter to PCARS3, as SMS don't use regular pit lanes, never mind alternative ones.

 

I think you need something like the F1 games or WRC if you want 'career experience'. Polyphony hardly offer any career progression in the GT League events.

 

Damn... PCars 2 demo is more popular than PCars 3.

 

Not surprised to see this game bomb. Arcade racers like this are more niche than sims.

 

It probably would’ve done a lot better had they not been so disingenuous in their marketing/marketed the game as a PC spinoff.

Claiming this game is “all the sim you could ever need” was their downfall

 

It's all the sim I could ever need though.
What missing? Pit stops? Steups. Pit stops are overrated and I'm glad they did away with that. One less distraction and more time to focus on racing.

 

Pit stops are an essential part of real racing. Tire and fuel management can vary massively between drivers' driving styles, and can make the difference between a victory and a loss. It's not exactly a distraction...it makes things more interesting. Even GT Sport is more sim than PC3.

 

It was more than disingenuous, it was straight up lying.

 

Even with tire wear and fuel burn absent in PC3, I rarely ran a race in PC2 more than 30 minutes long, and most were (and still are) usually 10-20 minutes.

I’m not missing the pitsops personally.

 

You've missed out qualifying, realistic expectations/simulations on how cars should behave, dirt tracks for the two dirt vehicles in the game, adjustable seating and fov settings, I'm sure theres more to add to the list

 

Pic of the Ferrari:

 

Do you have to then purchase the DLC cars in game to play them? Or do they go straight to your garage?

 

For career mode, you have to purchase them. In every other mode, they are available instantly as loan cars.

 

That's one trophy out of the way. Now I just hope that the pace settler and hot lap events aren’t too difficult like the previous DLC.

 

Thank you.
