Hey all,
Just registered after lurking for too long
I can't wait for Project Cars, so much so, tht I'm actually saving for a top end rig for when it arrives
I know cars is a work in progress, and I know it has a long way to go, but as I can't post my views on WMD I thought maybe I could post them here in the hope that someone else agrees and maybe mentions the same thing on WMD some time.
I find the rain effect on the window to be very poor, I do hope they make this much better in the future. Currently it is very much, wiper left no rain, wiper right rain pattern etc etc and does not reflect real life in any wy whatsoever. It's a very poor and ugly and cheap effect, I'd like to see a much less full on effect much like real life.
Additionally, I find the screen in many shots has a tiny windscreen and a lot of black wasted space around the screen (roof of car etc)... At no point in my life have I ever sat in my driving seat and seen tht much of my interior roof? It's like tunnel vision gone wrong? The most I ever see in my 3 cars is maybe 1" of my sun visor... Other than tht I mainly see glass! It's like driving from the back seat?
Also, the windscreen wiper perspective is way way way off? It's like it's moving at the most bizarre angle and is curved way way to much. Again, in my cars, I can see very very little of my blades mechanics etc they pretty much look like thin black strips and that's it. The things on these cars looks like black bananas with scaffolding?
I also noticed that cars is using the same smearing/blurring effect from shift? This seems likes bad idea as it looks like interlacing or low resolution when in motion. This can be seen in almost all comparison videos, look at the sides/trees/walls/grass etc on PCars compared to the comparison of anything it's up against. Again, please don't give it tht awful look.
Physics don't worry me, I'm sure they will sort tht stuff out with enough time. My concern is the little things that really matter and make me feel immersed.
The game looks great in stills, but that's with the In game plugins engaged etc and I'm pretty sure everyone here can safely say... Yes the still look good... Yes the members say the game looks this good IRL as its in game shots etc.... But we have never seen a video that looks as good as these shots! NEVER! So while I don't disagree that the game looks good... I'd like one of these screen shots guys to post me that section IN MOTION and HD! Until then, these screens re just like any other bullshots or forza/gt photo mode shots.
Also, sense of speed on 3 screens seems good, but I have noticed that on some videos, with this weird back seat driving view, that the sense of speed is very low? Again I hope they art this out as this is a big issue in most racing games, a sense of speed is essential but very hard to get right.
Additionally, On the consoles I'd like to see options such as:
Disable wheel and hands animation
Move/adjust head and FOV
Which are usually reserved for the pc.
That said, I can honesty say this is my most anticipated game since I was a kid! I am buying a £1500 sim rig for this game! I am putting all my eggs in the basket!
I'm sick of the grind in forza and GT on consols etc and this is exactly what the consoles need! A true sim, beautiful, with NO grind fr cash!
I honesty can't wait for this to arrive, it has me more excited than anything else on the market this year (and over the last few years). So please not my comments are not bashing, just hoping thy correct them prior to me buying this game
