Project Cars gameplay shown off for the first time

It's off-screen, so don't come yelling at me. But it looks pretty rad.

the car handling looks horrible omg

Ehh, to hell with these sim racers. Give me next gen Burnout! /Sigh

Lmao... I've been PLAYING it for ages now...

First time? Haven't people been playing this for a while?

Mind that this is with all driving aids on to make it easy for the testers there.

The game plays completely different with driving aids off and a wheel

Didn't EA kill that franchise ?

Why does EA keep killing good franchises (MOH, Burnout, C&C) ? :(

Check out the video I posted. They probably turned all assists on for the Comic Con demo, it really makes the game look worse.

When you start it up you can select realism levels, from Arcade, Action to Simcade an Simulation and then fine tune all assists in the options menu

compared to assetto corsa, that looks like it drives terribly.

looks like a poor's man Gran Turismo but with slightly better AA and Need for Speed physics. lol

Day One Purchase!!! With a Thrustmaster this is a must!!

ok that looks like a much better experience. thanks BB.

you've played this and assetto corsa yourself? if yes, which one do you feel has the more realistic driving model?

they should have filmed someone better...skills are horrible

Well there hasn't been official footage except for trailers that were in engine

Ben-Buja's video was far better, as the driving looked terrible in the OP. Still, those graphics are gorgeous.

Looks exactly like Shift 2 Unleashed.

I figured this would be a Shift clone considering it's from SMS.

It even uses the same Fonts

is this a sim racing game? Because it seems that its way too easy to tilt car left or right with out making tires spin on high speed making car to go 180 degrees. Forza is way better if Project Cars is a sim.

I actually wanted that game until I saw that video. The handling looked like complete shit. That is probably the most unrealistic racing physics I've seen since PS1/sega Saturn days.

I will have to play or get a demo to be sure but for now it's just, DC that's on lock for my racer fix come holiday season.

Go watch B-B's video, its much better.

Eh, I want to give it a try. But this is my racer for the year:

is this a sim ? LOLOLOLOL

what a wackass carphysics !

Anyone else notice the strobe-light sky? Is that just the capture?

@lglz1337: Yeah, I know full well that it looks much better than this shitty off-screen footage. But the handling itself just does not look very impressive. Of course I'll reserve full judgement until I actually play it. But if it plays anything like Shift 2, then I can safely say that I will not care for this game.

Project Cars is indeed about motor vehicles, confirmed.

That does look good.

@ironcreed: @lglz1337: Lots of sims look like that when you turn on all of the driving assists.

@Wasdie: Like I said, I will of course reserve judgement until I actually play it (and I want to). Just going by what was shown.

Looks amazingly like Forza.

My question is, "Why doesn't the car slow down when you go off road? He was racing next to another car and he went offroad into the grass and dirt and still maintained the same speed as the car that bumped him off the road. This happened visa-versa as well. Are the physics not turned on in this game yet? The game does look good, but the physics seem to be way off right now.

Yes, where the rain actually beeds up on the car hood and windshield and then rolls off. Can't wait for Horizon 2.

Yeah I've played both with my Fanatec GT2 wheel, Assetto Corsa feels fantastic, but Project CARS without assists isn't far off. Some cars feel perfect handling wise to me. The Ariel Atom for example which is one of the farthest in development, is a total blast to drive. I think you will enjoy both games too.

The video in the OP is the worst possible way to show Project CARS, I really think SMS needs to rethink their demo approach for the Gamescom. They should set up a wheel and pro handling without assists and damage enabled

Exactly and Project CARS has some extreme assists, like steering assists, stability, auto braking and all that crap for the casual players. The physics are pretty much overwritten with them on. I can only suggest watching Rene Rasts Project CARS videos for proper gameplay.

Getting Project Cars and Driveclub this fall.

Came here to say this. The game looks good graphically but SMS is a pretty mediocre developer when it comes to racing games.

First time? This game has been on PC in beta (?) for the longest time. There's entire youtube channels just dedicated to this game. There's literally thousands of videos online

@Ben-Buja Thanks for the share...awesome, so this one of those best played on a good gaming PC game. :)

Graphics are mediocre tbh, this was suppose to push graphics on PC, looks like getting 1080p/60fps on Next gen consoles held it back, probably developing with last gen consoles in mind for so long did as well

How can consoles be holding it back when us Hermits have had this to PLAY for agessssss

GTR - 88 GS

GTR 2 - 90 MC

GT Legends - 84 MC

NFS Shift - 83 MC

NFS Shift 2 - 84 MC

How is that a pretty mediocre developer?

If anything they're on of the better racing devs

Where did you get that SMS developed GTR or GT Legends? Those were developed by SimBin.

Yes, the Shift games were mediocre. Poor handling physics, bugs & glitches galore, and some of the worst steering wheel support in recent times.

And if you want to play the MC game, how about we list SMS's latest game that they actually developed? Test Drive: Ferrari Raging Legends - 61 MC

SMS worked for Simbin and developed GTR, GTR2 and GT Legends.

Don't forget that the Shift games have been released under EA as a publisher and there's not much of that influence left in Project CARS; they developed a completely new tire and suspension model for the game for example.

Watch the Rene Rast gameplay videos I've posted. It's nothing like Shift with a wheel and no assists. The game also supports a wide range of wheels out of the box
