i have always been a project cars fan but this one looks the least interesting
and all the gameplays i saw the graphics does not justify a 2070 for recommanded except if it s for 4k
Well it says for VR use a gtx 980 which is on par with 1060, weird to recommend a 2070 for normal use, but most important a ryzen 2700K some new kid in town
It is indeed to push 4K.
See the card required to play on 3 monitors?
That’s your answer.
And the graphics for this game are quite “washed” imo.
$120 CAD for Deluxe edition, they really are slightly mad
Haven’t played 1rsr or 2nd, maybe this one i should try any one care to tell me if the project cara franchise is worth my time ?
This series reminds me a little bit of Need For Speed Shift games, not simulator but not too arcade also. If you like that, or dunno, Grid games give it a shot.
Need for Speed: Shift was made by the same studio.
That makes a lot of sense then.
I’ve played PC2 for quite a lot, the same with the first one.
It’s a decent game. For me it’s perfect cause I don’t like to drive in full sim, I always use a little traction control so I can have fun without losing my hair.
But I would recomend Assetto Corsa/Competizione now.
does anyone if this one is true simulation or not?
from the looks of it i am 99 percent sure its a combination of arcade and sim racing. like forza , grid, nfs shift
Thanks man.
Yep, looks like a “simcade” to me as well.
I’m curious to play and see for myself, though.
Still waiting for games to push GTX 1070, 6 core CPU, 16 GB RAM as the bare minimum bar to justify new hardware purchases… Devs should focus on uplifting requirements that would turn the game into truly next-gen titles, not 2013 looking game.
If they allow me to control the game’s interface with my wheels, that will be great.
I’d love a demo to try the pad controls as they are supposed to be better. GT Sport, Forza even Assetto Corsa manage it better than Project Cars ever have. I’ll keep an eye on it and hope we get the demo!
