  1. Are you effing kidding me. Project Cars just came out last month. Guess they will dumping support for Project Cars 1 very soon as they focus there efforts for Project Cars 2. This news will not go down well with anyone.

    Wish Forza series was on PC, this greedy company does not deserve our support.

    1. Dark Souls III’s production started around the same time as Dark Souls II’s production started. Basically, FromSoft had teams working on DS2, DS3 and Bloodborne at the same time.

    2. I like to think that Dark Souls 3 has a reason. It’s FromSoftware unable to make Bloodborne multiplatform so they made this parallel project to recycle code and get more revenue from one big double project. What happens with PCARS2 is just hilarious. They didn’t even fixed PCARS1 yet.

      1. You think ,for a small team, they can develop a new game and support the old game at the same time?

        1. It only takes one or two people to run diagnostics and squash bugs. The game is content-complete, isn’t it? Or were you expecting giant, free expansions from such a ‘small team’?

          1. No, we want constant updates with more cars and tracks. That won’t happen because anything they do from now on will go to the next game. Screw that

    3. Indeed, they said “yes, CARS is the super ultimate and refined ultimate car racing simulation” now its like “well, CARS wasnt quite ultimate as CARS 2″……no dude…just no

  2. Slightly mad?? No, these guys are borderline lunatics! Support your f’ing games before jumping onto another one so quickly.

  3. well, 200+ cars is a good thing, but if they start the development right now, maybe they will finish it in the next decade

  4. Nope. Until they can show their fans and the community that they know how to fix their stuff, they won’t see a penny.

    SlightlyMad Studios has gone FullyMad.

  5. Clinically Insane Studios, smh they deserve to be shut down trying to pull something like this.

  6. Hahahaha! What a joke. Their game just came out and they’ve already announced a sequel. Resources are finite and focusing more effort on a sequel doesn’t bode well for post-release support of PCARS 1. I’m glad I didn’t give them a cent of my money.

  7. And it long way to go maybe 2018 with forza horizon 4 and my biggest complain was lack off ff carsss I think project car 2 will fix this and about the performance hope it better optimized than the original cause it was horrible

  8. This seems so soon lol. Imagine if they announced CoD 11 right after 10 just came out! 😛 Okay thats a different thing but you get the point lol!

  9. This had got to be the most ridiculous thing I read in a while!
    Any serious car sim would be supported for years after release….goes to show PCars is just a damn arcade bs and devs only care about making more money!
    AC all the way!

  10. Ok. I didnt buy it yet as I already Asseto Corsa. Still I dont see why all argue about a next game being discussed this early.

    As long, of course, PC1 being well fixed all way through!

  11. Are you kidding me ? Okay they didn’t have budget for P.C. 1 and went to Kickstarter to get funded , but they want the same for P.C. 2 ? Didn’t they sold the copies of P.C. 1 and made money ? Didn’t it sold like 1 million copies if im not mistaken ?

    Where is all that money right now , why do they need more money from crowding ? Nope.mkv

  12. Stuff like this will kill crowd funding… They should support their original game. They shouldn’t even consider PCars 2 at this point, yet here they are,,, asking for more money. Are they trying to turn this into Need for Speed or something??? Seems like Yearly rehashes are their goal now.
