Project Cars 2 On Xbox One X Will Look "Significantly" Better Than PS4 Pro, Dev Says

The racing game will look best on Xbox One X, unless you're using a high-end PC.

358 Comments

Microsoft has been saying for a while now that Xbox One X versions of multiplatform games will look and run better than any other console edition. While that remains to be seen, it looks like Project Cars 2 will at least look better running on Microsoft's Xbox One X.

Speaking to TrustedReviews, game director Stephen Viljoen said people playing on Xbox One X will see the best-looking version of the game on console. "I can't tell you exactly what all the various sliders will be at when you're on Xbox One X versus on PS4 Pro, but obviously they'll be higher [on Xbox One X], so there will be a significant, a noticeable improvement, because you have better hardware."

Now Playing: Project Cars 2 - Difficult But Rewarding Racing Gameplay

This is no surprise to hear, as the Xbox One X is the most powerful console ever made. According to Microsoft, it has 40 percent more power than the PS4 Pro.

While the PC edition of Project Cars 2 will look and perform the best if you have a beefy enough rig, Viljoen remarked that the Xbox One X is a "great piece of hardware." The developer is looking forward to "making the most of it," adding that Project Cars 2 will look and run better on Xbox One X than any other system out there apart from a high-end PC.

You can read the full interview here at TrustedReviews.

Project Cars 2 launches on September 22 for PC, Xbox One, and PS4. GameSpot is meeting with the developers next week and we'll have more on the game soon. For now, you can check out all the cars and all the tracks through GameSpot's new videos below.

The Xbox One X launches in November, priced at $500. Internationally, it will go for £449, €499, CA$599, and AU$649.

I was having such a wonderful day - woke up, eat toast w/ strawberry jelly, read a picture book, went shopping w/ my friend Lindsay Lohan and won the mechanical bull riding championship. Then I clicked on this article and my wonderful day came to a crashing halt. Project Cars 2 will look better on the X1X - is this some sort of nightmare? I soon realized none of this matters since my CRT TV maxes out at 480i and I would not be able to tell the difference. So now I'm back having a wonderful day.

@moonco: Picture books provide a very effective reading experience for those heavily invested in the economization of time.

@moonco: I guess that TV is overkill for your Nintendo console then.

@sladakrobot: I'm into arcade racers like Outrun and Burnout but I did learn how to drive playing Gran Turismo 4, which probably explains why my license was revoked.

@joshrmeyer: i have the TurboDuo (TurboGrafx+Cd Rom) and owned pretty every game for it. Excellent for shmups and everything in 2D but pseudo 3d via scrolling and scalling sprites...for that it was too weak. Out Run was acceptable,Power Drift was surprisingly good and Victory Run.

@itchyflop: Shame Taito never made a compilation of their racing games from the past ( S.C.I.,Chase HQ,Taito GP,Taito Continental Circus etc..).

At least i never heard Taito made a such compilation for the X360 or the Ps3

Its funny, when Ps4 had more power than Xbox One devs were always saying "nah the games will look the same on both platforms" ;)

Makes me wonder why will most games use same graphical techniques as PS4 Pro :)
