Project Motor Racing General Discussion

[ColinNZ]

I'm feeling good about my decision to wait.

 

[slthree]

what’s currently sitting there on my HDD is a what, eight year old game that in some ways remains the best thing you out there on console.

Couldn't have said it better myself. For a serious racer who only wants to play on console, even 8 years later, nothing comes close. Now you've got me thinking I want to play Project Cars 2 again

I've only seen the video of 'The Hun' were she starts the career on PS5 and that is the prerelase build if I understood correctly. Looks really solid compared to the pc version and makes you think it consoles were priority. Looks almost like 2 different versions of the game. I honesty really look forward to this game. Will definitely not rush anything and maybe share some initial thoughts as a casual.

I recently discovered her and I really like her. She could have me fooled, but I get the impression she's not in anybody's pocket.

Oh man. I was ready to preorder because I actually like what I saw on youtube. But I thought to check youtube one more time before preordering to get that GTE pack. That is when I saw SuperGT's video. Now I am back on the fence again.

The GTE pack is going to be sold separately later.

Honest to gosh save your money and wait a few months before making a decision. It's not going anywhere in the meantime.

 

[AttackDickie]

I respect you and am a little jealous at the same time.

I wish I had the discipline to have cancelled my pre-order but I just couldn't do it. I figured they're getting my money sooner or later, so I'll just ride out the rough spots until it's all sorted out.

This team gave me PC2 so I made up my mind when the game was first announced that Id support them no matter what.

Of course, the last minute revelation of the 16 car grid tested my resolve, MIGHTILY

I may possibly regret my decision but I'm counting the minutes till I can fire it up

I've been going back and forth, a reason for not getting it was the lack of content on launch compared to PC 2 & FM and a reason for getting it, was like you, to support them in the hope it could be like PC 2 one day..

The Xbox launch trailer sealed my fate.

 

[whannel]

Just realised there's no 'tracks' or 'layouts' as they term things in the DLC menu?

Just Vehicles (rather than cars?), Packages (GTE pack etc), Liveries, and Career Events

 

[slthree]

Wicken, you just made these last hours I have to wait, even more agonizing than they already were. Had I not already bought the game, that trailer would have made me buy it even knowing there are going to be lots of messy things to sort out down the road

Great Find

Thanks

Well, i had the Logitech RS 50 ordered for this game and SPEC 3 update; but GT7 alone is not worth all this money anymore, so there's that... Had no choice.
Managed to cancel my RS 50 order from local shop as well, which is great.

Patiently waiting next few months...

Edit: Spent last few days looking for every issue i could find about the game... So i'm nitpicking and even biased for sure, but i'm really hoping it to succeed.
Unlimited Mod content on PS5 would be awesome.

I mean that's a good plan, I wouldn't pin my hopes on the game, we've seen enough since the embargo lifted to get an idea that the game is indeed unfinished.

I'm still excited to play it, the year 1 content is what I'm mainly looking forward to, specifically the V8 Power Pack, but there's enough elsewhere that I know I'll enjoy myself till that comes out, if GT4 stays in rotation in ranked racing, I can see myself spending most of my time in there. Plus I'm really keen to get a hold of the game files to see what is possible in terms of modding, I have a few ideas on stuff that I want to do immediately, so excited to see what exactly can be done.

What in the world is going on with the replay graphic quality

 

[AudiMan2011]

It sure is!
SuperGT says that the cars are super difficult to manage on the limit, to the point he is affraid to push.....and then we have Gamermuscle saying that this game lets you do mental laps over the limit, and even said its one of the most forgiving sims ever when it comes to really pushing the cars....
Their feelings just couldnt be more different 😅

I think the consensus ive been seeing is that the older cars (GT1, 2000s LMPs etc) feel decent to drive and the modern cars (GT3s, Hypercars) feel like a complete afterthought that was just thrown into the game.

 

[05XR8]

That's how PC2 feels to me. For all the downforce those modern race cars have, they feel the worse. Especially since modern GT cars are made for amatuer drivers to professionals. With all the aids those cars offer, it should be easy to drive rapidly.

 

[phillgt2002]

This game flew under my radar - it looks like another SMS game, very good, kinda janky? I feel like with so many racing game options out, it doesn't make much sense to purchase this.

 

[05XR8]

I'm holding off since the GT7 updates are coming next week. If I bought PMR, I'd probably put it down after a week of playing to fiddle with GT7.

I really want to experience the game. So it's good members here will get more hands on and see how things (hopefully)improve from today.

 

[graveltrap]

Definitely not a day 1 purchase for me,
but I shall keep an eye on it to see if things get better.

 

[ScottPuss20]

Project Cars 2 wasn't perfect but I still played the crap out of it...

 

[Seikenfreak]

Yea, after watching some people whos opinion I value AND seeing more footage of the game myself, I think I've got a pretty good idea of what to expect. I'm still going to buy it as I think there is at least some fun in there for what I like I guess? But also I'm confident certain glaring issues will get fixed. And with mod support-- if it is as flexible and robust as the devs are claiming, could add a lot of the content people want to see.

I think, aside from some of those key issues, that PMR is a good foundation. I believe in the community. Any race game with mod support, even if it isn't the best, seems to get a lot of content and tweaks.

Good news is the GT7 update is right around the corner so there will be that in the near future.

 

[slthree]

Not like we have much left to do except wait so I'd like to know if I'm the only delusional person...

Despite never being able to play a game earlier than it's release, I've clicked on the thumbnail of PMR numerous times today, in the unlikely event that I would be able to open it up ahead of time.

Has anyone else done that?

 

[Chikane_GTR]

Project Cars 2 wasn't perfect but I still played the crap out of it...

PC2 got alot of hate for not being good on controller put that didn't stop me from putting in over 2300 hours and over 195K miles on my P1 gtr.

PC2 is still the best overall sim I have played on console even more then GT7 so the only question is can PMR take that crown from PC2? we will see.

 

[adam thompson]

Really hope things can get ironed out am looking forward to it. Not long now 8hours

 

[KAlex122]

With all that was shown from Rennsport and PMR alike, i don't really get people buying day one or beforehand.

After seeing that and for example the launch of Forza Motorsport (AC Evo is early access and as such a whole nother bottle, i don't get the critizism for that), I get people critizising Gran Turismo even lesser.

GT seems such a polished product (even with release physics) in comparison.

This doesn't mean that GT is perfect, but ...

Nnnooooooyyeeaaaahhhh...
And I probably won't even be able to open it before the weekend.

[nickf1gr]

After the disastrous pre-purchase of the GTA package (3, San Antreas and Vice City) on PS5 BEFORE THE REVIEWS, it taught me a lesson... to wait.... that's what I'll do now, at least until the first updates come...

 

[evldave333]

Interested to see what the day 1 patch does, listened to some youtube video's this morning and controller implementation is supposed to be atrocious, and a massive ammount of inconsistency between vehicles in handling. Avoiding this until its deep in the update cycle getting AC / PC2 controller vibes, really disappointed but not surprised at all.

 

[davidson23]

Tengo interés en ver qué hace el parche del día 1. Esta mañana vi algunos videos de YouTube y se supone que la implementación del control es pésima, con una enorme inconsistencia en el manejo entre vehículos. Lo estoy evitando hasta que esté bien avanzado el ciclo de actualizaciones, ya que me da la impresión de un control AC/PC2. Me decepcionó mucho, pero no me sorprendió en absoluto.

 

[MroczMR]

So yeaaah. About those physics concerns we see. This is supposed to be like that its different and revolutionary and they hope we like it.
To be honest that makes me worried because hypercars and gt3 won’t be fixed probably.

 

[RobertHammer]

I think that physics rate 720hz seems like a gimmick like those gaming mice with 8k polling rate but we will see

 

[brocp]

I'm in Australia and I've played it for a couple of hours... it's worse than I ever thought it could be honestly.

The Hypercars team said on Discord that they're currently working on it, as is the AI, and that the GT3 team was also working on it over the weekend (they mentioned something about a problem with downshifting).
So, I don't think the AI and Hypercars will arrive in today's patch until the next few days.
