PC3 Project CARS 3 Released

[Paul Jeffrey]

Slightly delayed news about a Slightly Mad Studios product - Project CARS 3 is now available to the general public having released on console and PC Thursday 27th August.

• PCARS 3 available on Xbox, PS4 and PC.
• Over 200 cars and 120 tracks available.

At long last, following a brief early access period for people who pre-ordered the title, Project CARS 3 has finally released to the wider world - hitting real and virtual stores yesterday (Thursday 27th August) for both console and PC versions of the title.

Representing something of a departure from the original Project CARS franchise, the third instalment of the series places a greater focus on the customisation of both the car and game experience - moving away from the more simulation roots of the original games.

With a loyal fanbase of the original games having mixed feelings about the new direction on the build up to release, it will be very interesting indeed to see how well received the new title is over the coming days and weeks.

It's a good game. FFB is superior on many aspect's to PC2's FFB and graphics are better than Pcars 2. I will make a video.

What a bunch of lies on internet just unbelievable.

If you ask for a refund for PC3 ask for a refund for PC2 in the same time.


What is sure is that many youtubers had an agenda and "my honest" is in fact "my most dishonest review".

Make that video and lets see the proof in the pudding.

You may find yourself in an uncrashable car,
You may find yourself racing against most uselsess AI,
You may find yourself with most unbelievable tires,
You may find yourself to be forgiven for most stupid things you do,
You may find yourself... winning a race... with no effrot.

You may ask yourself.... well... HOW DID I GET HERE ?!

Let the days go by, let the truth go past you.
After the money will be gone, the truth will still flow somewhere underground.

The best racing simulator released 14 years ago and it is named GTR2, created by Simbim. After that nothing happened, only better graphics engine added for newer games (eye candy).

Sorry but imho you are deluded if you think the later gmotor engine ( rFactor2 ) does not have
vastly improved physics tires chassis FFB then GTR2

after selling out to codies

How many times do we need to say that this game's direction was already taken well before the Codemasters acquisition?

I don’t know how many times can you say it before you loose control of all sanity ?

Tbh I didn’t actually know that so thanks for the info I have better things to do with my time, if you have a attitude problem can you point it in another direction please I came to a friendly community when I joined I want it to stay that way.

You can think that but with so many of them focusing on the same areas that they think are lacking or buggy I find that hard to accept.
Even IGN only scored it a 6.
I've played and enjoyed pCars 1&2 NFS Shift 1&2 also TDFRL so have nothing against SMS. But this just seems like poor game and is getting called out as such.

 

[Metla]

Apparently if you order a hard copy SMS personally deliver it in one of these

They have come up with a more efficient method, You order the game and they deliver it straight to the game burial site in New Mexico that E.T went into.

This was information that was out there.

I also don't appreciate people talking down to me.

After buying both Project Cars (1) and then to rapturous reviews, purchased Project Cars 2. Very disappointment with the physics and driveabilty in PC2., both are now uninstalled. NO, I will not be persuaded to go for a third time!!!

Haha great

The chaos surrounding this title in 100% Slightly Mad's own doing. If they had marketed this title as a game, and not gone out of their way to specifically reference the simulation aspects, the backlash would be greatly reduced. If they had publicized the release as "we want to bring gamers the most fun aspects of current gen racing games using well loved content from the Project CARS series and some new surprises", they'd be a lot closer to the mark. But they couldn't resist over-selling it.

And I'll also throw in the fact that I'm concerned about their silence over the past few days. Many people thought AMS2 wasn't ready for full release when it left early access, but Reiza stepped up, owned the issues, and has kept us in the loop about improvements, fixes and future content. Slightly Mad has gone silent since the Deluxe Edition of the game released on Steam a few days ago. It's worrying to say the least...

So it's been released - they dared to do it. Probably this thing will sell more
than PC 2, or even more than PC 2 and PC 1 together. That's their goal, and
that's fine because it is their product.

You sim racers, don't waste your time criticizing this thing, it's not worth it.

what is also worrying are the death threats received by Actrollvision for their video..when this community has became so toxic?
