  1. Project cars looks, sounds and seemingly feels better. I’m biased but I was making an objective statement in the same time:)

  2. both are great, love the AC’s gameplay, don’t know about PCars (it’s like 50%sim 50%arcade) but on technical graphics i guess PCars is better but i like AC’s cockpit view more.

    1. I’m sure both games has some kind of difficulty settings. PCars looks better because it was longer in development.

      What is really noticeable for me here is the sound. AC sounds better to me, though it’s hard to make a conclusion just from one video.

  3. PC has better fantasy tracks, which is what AC is lacking. AC can get boering in temrs of visuals, however, AC is the better game in terms of gameplay, physics and sound. hands down.

  4. Assetto Corsa looks really impressive . Better than my expectations . Project Cars is amazing as well . It may become best looking racing game ever .

  5. Lightning seems better in Project Cars, but the colors are a bit saturated (maybe because it was sunset?). Audio in Assetto Corsa wins hands down.

  6. Great Games 😀 pCars need Optimisation (graphics) but in AC The Joy conf. is horrrible (or was?)
    in pCars Joy is perfect, and overall must have.
    But im waiting for AC ver 1.x and i will try it again

    1. yeah, AC’s Joy config was a mess but it’s fixed now, not prefect but better, at least it know X360 controller by default and controls are a lot better now but i guess it’s not as good as PCars if we say PCars is like NFS Shift

      1. Hmm thats true bro 😀 But i have PSX2 DualShock2 and in AC i have better times on same Tracks than in pCars 😉
        pCars: Graph 9/10 Sound 7/10 Physics 6/10 Joy 9/10
        Assetto C. Graph 9/10 Sound 9/10 Physics 10/10 Joy 7/10
        GTR2 and Race07 graph 6/10 (Modded) Sound 9/10 Physics 10/10 joy 10/10
        Overall Race07 is Best Racing Sim Ever in my opinion 😀
        But for AC are Mods: New Cars, liveries, Tracks etc. in pCars is only liveries 🙁
        Im for AC, it will be Good Game in addition to Race07
        Now im driving in AC the Laguna Seca 😉 here -> put . and go 4 it
        drivingitalia net
        You can find in there my Mod collection 4 Race07 & GTR2 (LoccOtHaN)
        Also find me on STEAM and we can drive if u wanna 😉

      2. Hmm now i got it, the Joy conf in AC is OK 😀
        All u have to do is, make custom and then choose calibrate My wheel/custom
        And should be OK, now its Fun 100%

        1. nice. in beta it took me hours to config my controller, but in v1 it was ok. glad you fixed yours 😀 funny thing is, i never won a race till now, even against AI :))

  7. AC sounds better IMO. The car modeling seems top notch in both games. AC has better wheel handling. The track graphics are pretty much on par. But the part where pCars wins is the car shaders lighting/graphics

    There is a reason why pCars looks amazing especially in photo mode. They managed to match that realistic impact of lighting on the car. That blueish reflection from the sky.

    AC has really bad lighting on cars and some areas of the tracks. Take a look at 0:38 for example. In pCars HDR kicks in shadowy areas, while the car also beautifuly blends in the scenery. In AC it looks horrible.

    pCars lighting>AC. Even GT5 has better looking car shaders than AC.
