Project Motor Racing General Discussion

[hawkeyez]

Yep this is my first big disappointment from what I have seen come out so far today. Renders single player multi class racing virtually useless.

Supposedly has all to do with the AI running the same physics system as the player, hence multiplayer and online can support 32 on console but single player can't.

Won't affect my decision to pre-order but I feel this is something they really should have been telling us more than 4 days before the launch. Everything has been about 32 car grids and up to 4 class racing.

Why do you think they wait until the last minute. Their sarcastic replies on social media make them seem like their sim racing making gods. But here we are with all kinds of issues.

Sure sounds good though. Haha

This seems like launch PC1 and launch PC2 all over again unfortunately 😭

 

[DapperDan07]

For me the small grid sizes on consoles is made worse by the fact that we cant choose our own grids. Just like in pc2.

Especially when some classes have more than 8 cars. So a multiclass race with two classes will be pot luck what cars will be there

 

[AttackDickie]

Can't someone just add a larger grid mod?

I'm pretty much sold on the Maxime MXM live stream.

 

[whannel]

That's a lot of LIVE.

If Ian joins one (3 bottles of wine down) and it's as good as the stream he invaded before it'll be a great watch (the one he did it for with Project Cars is essential viewing, genuinely how I'd market this game if I were them - he'd likely tell all about the whole process, and let us know what's coming). Maybe he will for launch?

The multiplayer looks ok, seems to function properly



and some GT7 players will be happy about one aspect - 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

16 cars in a single player race is very disappointing. GT7 has 20. Maybe that will change with time

But GT doesn't have weather on all tracks does it? There is always gonna be limitations on console. - Although I wouldn't be happy if I had a PS Pro.

 

[Rumenapp]

I think MaximeMXM is the stream that is mostly consistent, shes now doing career events.

It makes the multiclass aspect of the game kinda pointless. Who wants to run four classes with four cars in each!?

I do have a Pro.
This game is supposed to be enhanced on it, can’t see much evidence from the Youtube vids.

The game does look to have potential, for single class offline and the multiplayer. Just not right now and not at full price.

so, did you see multi? how are penalties offtrack and hit handled?

There's one console game I can think of that has 24 cars, TOD and weather on all tracks....

 

[Fezzik]

Traxion vid a few posts up. Some of the drivers in the race do get penalties, will have to watch a bit closer to see how & why.

And unfortunately MS killed the studio and the support for FM8 😭

PC2💪

Still a great racer

Is Maxime playing on base or pro?

That one too!

But, if they're running the same physics on AI cars as the player car, I can see how they'd run into some hardware limitations. One major criticism of PC2 (and likely a bunch of other games) is the AI runs a simplified model which makes for inconsistent performance based on track and weather conditions. So I can see how they got here. Not entirely happy about it but I'd rather that I suppose.

 

[AttackDickie]

If you're talking about Forza, I think their workaround was the way it went from dry to wet within the 'same pre-set conditions'. Like it never seems to me like a hot sunny day to a cloudy rainy day. I'm not defending PMR (or knocking T10), just more relieved they seem to have considered the framerate on console. I could be wrong and have my pitchfork out like some others.

As an Xbox player I decided to not get this game on Day 1, I will probably wait until January at least before I decide. Let the hype die down, let a few updates/patches roll out, and hopefully more info will be rolled out by then as to what they intend to add to the game and fix next year beyond the 4 expansions we know of. There are some things I see that I like such as the car roster, good usage on the controller, deep career mode and car sounds but beyond that it looks like a work in progress. Not necessarily a bad thing but experiencing this recently from a another title, I rather just wait until things get ironed out some before I drop some money.

I hop in-and-out, but yeah. PC2 is very fun.

 

[Roger Mat]

Base ps5

No Xbox gameplay, i wanna see if the game on Series X runs well like ps5 does.

Been watching Gameriot and his video is very positive. Also been watching GamerMuscle, laughed a lot a his team name censorship. 😅

They’re using the Youtubers as last minute quality control. That’ll go down well.

Being serious it’s pretty bad marketing to send out review codes in this state. Very poor first impressions they’re giving for a lot of people, and those people will never read all these Discord posts promising fixes.

 

[Bojador]

Please tell me this is not another game where you can't remove the steering wheel.

You can. It’s one of the options in the settings.

I was playing that last night, in the BMW M3 Group A at Donnington in a Storm at around 19:00 with the low sun reflecting off the extremely wet track against 31 AI set at 120/75 with a controller, started last, finished 2nd in a 15 minute race, Good stuff.

 

[hawkeyez]

No Trueforce Support despite being told Logitech G Pro was supported. It’s only half supported. Those devs are a misleading bunch. Same with their multiclass racing. 4 of each. But in their eyes “WE HAVE MULTICLASS RACING!!!!! YOU CAN COUNT ON US!” Haha

I guess fresh eyes can help. It has been mentioned that some testers just get used to certain quirks such as the track limits penalties and what not.

Edit: at this stage I think I might pick up a Steam Machine (if it's reasonably priced) & get AMS2.

This game don't look ready yet. Which is unfortunate because I'm looking forward to an updated GTR2.
