To be honest. I am just waiting for game + year 1 pass discount on PSN amd probably will buy it now. The 32 car grids I feel are very close.

That's what I was doing but I found the base game for 24.99 hard to resist. I got to play a little bit more last night. I thought that with the automatic transmission I wouldn't have to manually put it in gear to get out of neutral. Who knew? Not this guy :lol: Any I tried the Aston Martin GT3 at Mosport, then I took the Panoz lmp car I think to Lexington. I thought to myself it seems really easy to drive but then I realized I had all of the aids on :lol: Once I get more comfortable I will start turning stuff off. I usually leave the weak ABS and depending on the car low level Traction Control. Enjoying the game so far

Definitely will try it out, but I am still waiting for grid size upgrade and base game + year 1 pass discount.
 
I have a question. I have only driven 3 cars but all of them have been very easy to drive. AM GT3, TVR 400R & the Panoz LMP-1 Roadster - S. I am not complaining or saying it is simcade or whatever people say but I have been surprised. Let also say this I am not an alien because the best I can do at Lime Rock in the 400r is 1:00.825. I feel like that is slow. I haven't done any races just hot lapping. Again I am not complaining just making observations. TBH I have been enjoying hot lapping. I made a tuning calculator in Google sheets so I have been running the default setups logging lap ties. Then make adjust drive some more make more adjustments. I do one run full assists the next run no assists. Then I adjust from there.

What are your lap time deltas between assists on vs off? Are you possibly driving the car less aggressively with the assists off, so it seems to be easier?

I just fired the game up for the first time in months yesterday and it was a great experience. I only drove the MX5 but I found it a lot more challenging than the last time I played. I also run with no assists.

In the TVR at Lime Rock I got 1:03.425 with assists on and 1:00.825 with assists off. It seems like TC & ABS slowed me down a bit. I found the same thing with the Panoz I got 1.37.000 at Lexington full assists and 1.35.425 with assists off
 
Happy to see that some new players try PMR! I stuck with it since preorder and do the things I like as ranked races and race weekends and some time trials. In ranked races and time trials you can also try DLC-content. Have fun everyone!

That seems pretty normal for assists on vs off. If I have time, I'll try and do the same. I feel this game does a pretty good job with physics between different cars. Modern GT3 cars I would expect to be easy, but older GT cars I would think to be a bigger challenge.

I've had the game since launch and played quite a bit in the beginning. I'll be honest though, I prefer VR and triples so I stopped playing early on until support came out. I still can't get VR to work but triples was pretty good yesterday. The game seems to be capping me at 60fps for some reason though. My DD1 decided to stop working last week, so I "had" to upgrade to a DD+. At least that's what I told my wife......

Site appears to read "November 1st".


Anyhow, kinda torn. On one hand, I'm not coming off any money so I get to see what its like without digging in my wallet but also I haven't exactly found myself impressed last I checked (Not at all helped with the unwillingness to engage more with the console market).

The one thing that is certain is that it isn't November 31st... ;)
 
Yes, it’s until November 1st.
I accidentally added the 3.:banghead:

I tried it yesterday…

Oh my god… this game on base ps5 has terrible visuals…

It is so ugly it actually breaks my immersion. I think project Cars 2 on ps4 had better image quality, it really is bad very bad…

Put your system in 1080p mode.

Glad Ive got to try this for free, struck by the lack of cars and tracks compared to project cars. I dont think even the recent sale price of about £25 that this worth picking up. Graphics are PS4 level, gameplay is easier than I anticipated. Im not sure if the demo would convince anyone to buy this... there really is not a lot of meat on the bone. I will drive it a bit for the couple of unique tracks this week, but it wont be missed after November 1st. Having that little content in the base game is egregious.

Pretty sure Project Cars 2 on base PS4 looked better than PMR on PS5…

Yeah I am not convinced to buy it either. There is really lot to patch in this game…

How many cars from PCars/PCars2 did you actually drive? There's plenty enough car choice in PMR

All of them... and you cant defend this game without a massive amount of cognitive dissonance either.
