Project Motor Racing General Discussion

[torque99]

Here is quite a good video showing all the PS5 Dual shock controller settings, it has quite a lot of adjustment so I am pretty sure it should be fine for most controller players to find some settings to suit their driving.

I personally have never understood why people pre-order games, ever. Unless it's a physical pre order that can be sent back whilst still wrapped.

It's good that xbox gives refunds though. I guess I don't pre-order digitally because of Sonys policy. But with driving games especially, because I'm more than happy with GT7 and F1, I don't feel the need to pre-order racing games, as there's no real itch that needs to be scratched in that genre for me.

I do really want PMR to do really well, because I still play Project Cars 2 even now (indy 500, baby!), never touched PC3. But it's been ages since the PMR announcement, so no issue for me waiting another 6 months for it to get any and all patches that it needs.

Developers shouldn't be getting paid for games released in an unfit state. Yes I agree game devs have it hard, but they should only announce release dates for when they're ready. Any trust I used to have in games in the PS3/PS4 days has been completely eroded in the last few digitally-led years.

I agree but a lot of pressure is usually from the publishers to push the game out rather than delay it. What I like about Giants/Straight4 is they are really involved with the community like DriveClub/Evolution devs were. At least they are actively talking and listening to feedback and acting on it straight away rather than silence and nothing for months and this is very rare this gen. This makes a big difference. I don't usually pre-order but have seen enough to go ahead early and in for the long term especially with the mods on this game all for free. This will make a big difference of variety of cars and tracks, maybe even point to point road tracks, motorbikes or tractors in the future! Having enjoyed most their games since GTR through to Project Cars I will support them but totally understand those who are unsure to wait it out.

Is it possible to do the pre-install yet if you buy the ps5 version of the PSN store?
I’m sure normally you can download the game in readiness for when it releases

And regarding pre-ordering, don’t you get the LME pack for free if you pre-order?
I know it’s considered to be a faux pars to pre-order these days, but if you don’t, you’ll have to then pay for the LME pack

I’m just excited for Sebring

 

[kartman21]

I want to give them a chance, I've preorder the game, it won't be perfect at launch sure, but I believe it will have a strong support

They bring something new, fresh, I give them my support

I believe (and could be very wrong) that there's no pre install on ps5, but if you leave your ps5 in rest mode and have your settings all done it'll download automatically overnight, which isn't the same but depending on your sleep pattern, fair enough!

Tomorrow 23rd Nov you can download it said when I Pre ordered. 👍

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 think that's a wise choice if you're not desperate for it. As like you say, it is a WIP, in more ways than one.

And I'm not sure if the DLC is the only content updates we'll get in that timeframe, which would be disappointing. But on the flip side, mods could make it a special game in the long run. Things are sucky for me right now, so I'm gonna treat myself, even if I'm not desperate for it.

This video is much better and looks ok on controller too 👍
@Nismonath5 Which platform are your videos on?

The tyres overheating towards the end of the video, looks nightmareish though. Thought cold tyres were bad enough in PC2

I preordered AC Shadows in August, game ended up being released in March lol

It's just so the money for each game is already allocated so i don't spend it on anything else.

This was an enjoyable stream, lots of racing and chat about the physics, FFB and the like. On the whole Rene seemed to really enjoy it.

Know what? taking a deep breath and remembering it's all about fun. Super Woden II is fun. With a small grid of cars it's fun. If mods start adding super touring cars, especially leading with the Primera and/or Accord to PMR, it's going to be even more fun.

I'll see how I go Tuesday. I'd like to get my mits on the RX-7 and 964 the most. Down the line I'd love a vintage Trans-Am pack. Maybe those cars like the Javelin and 510 will be added by mods before then. There's heaps of potential for this game.

Exactly that! I’m not expecting this game to be perfect day one but as long as its fun i’ll be happy. I’m hoping that this game gets properly supported overtime and lives up to the potential it has

Looks sweet enough to me

Yeah they all look good. They're unlicensed but they're still scanned so no questions over accuracy.

Need to get my hands on the Lister.

 

[THOMASBARNES]

as a PS5 player, the most important thing for me is the mod support, if we get a constant or semi-constant stream of cars and tracks (especially tracks) that'll be just fine

 

[minimoi]

Can you hide the steering wheel and hands?

 

[Scuderia Paul]

Can you hide the steering wheel and hands?

Yes you can.

Now I am looking forward to Fanatec FFB settings.
PS5 looks promising 😊🚗

Hopefully, expect if it gets a lot of content then anyone that's holding off will be drawn in.

Sorry if it's already been shared but I liked this pinned post from their discord:

Discord - Group Chat That’s All Fun & Games

Discord is great for playing games and chilling with friends, or even building a worldwide community. Customize your own space to talk, play, and hang out.

Tempted to buy a PC, there's a really nice pre-built system with a 9800x3d and a 5080 gfx card Costco are about to offer for under £1,700 but that's a lot of money.

I don't understand the logistics of that, how did they laser scan the tracks if they didn't license them, why have I got a vision in my head of them breaking in with bolt cutters at 3am and getting it done before the staff turned up for their morning shift

I'm picturing them hiding everytime a security guard walks through and then waiting until the coast is clear to resume scanning the track 🤣

 

[05XR8]

I see it as this at each unlicensed track:
"...And another one."

Physics wise, I think the main issue is a lot of people will be coming from ACC, LMU, etc so when they drive something older like a Lister Storm, they won't like it. Not because it's a bad car, but because it's genuinely hard to drive. That's how it was in 1999, thats how it is now.

As long as you rationalize the car you're about to drive and the technology (or lack thereof) in it, then you should be largely fine.

Graphics are good, will likely get a bit of extra polish in day 1 patch and additional support as the title evolves and all that.

Lastly, cockpit cams are fully customizable. And I mean fully! Height, tilt, fov, you can even move the camera to the middle of the car and do a sort of "TOCA 2" style TV cam! Very happy with the options here.

So we can do these views again? Nice. I'm probably an outlier, but I really liked this view in PC2 & the fact it'd be adjustable is a big plus.

All tracks are basically laser scanned these days. How you get it is up to you/them. But it already exists.
No different than Assetto Corsa getting a laser scanned version of Yas Marina even though it was never officially in the game. We can just call it Mas Yarina now instead I suppose.
AMS2 just put in a Ferrari and called it Milano and Monaco is called Azure. In fact, PMR pulled a Reiza and called their Red Bull Ring - Spielberg as well. RSS has been putting Ferruccios into Assetto Corsa for a while now.
