I hope it becomes good, as I'd love to have changeable weather again, but I'm kinda skeptical.

Really enjoy playing 1 still, on any downtime from online racing. Believe me its not fun when you've just pitted and it suddenly starts raining! The AI can be a bit silly at times but i dont expect them to be as predictable as real people so is a nice fun alternative.

Yup, graphics are great. But they are great already in PCars 1. I run it now and then with my son and it has good matching car groups. (unlike AC..)
It is quite a good racing game, but the FFB and physics are just not as good as AC. So it will need to make quite a step forward to match the feeling you get from AC.
Still, if they pull that off, it should be worth the money.

Looks like they have taken cars and track lists from AC and R3E. I am keen to try it as well.
As Pete says, if the cars feel like the better modelled ones in R3E and AC it may be worth
some testing.

The problem i found and clearly put alot of people off, unfairly was by default its rubbish. Steering is too heavy, setups are not fast nor easy to interprete. And with no manual nowadays none of the options are really understood. FFB has plenty of adjustment its just most people didnt know what to do. Same with car setups, you need to try and engineer them.

Good to read in a couple of proper Motorsport mags that they are using real world race drivers to develop the feel in this and make sure cars handle as they should.  Sounds like it's going to be serious competition for AC on release. Kunos have been a bit tardy of late with new content and lack of tracks especially. Think I'll be getting it but will read some reviews on ffb and feel first, having wasted my money on RRE with its complete lack of feel on my pricey fanatec setup. |

Project Cars 1 had real world drivers on the team, and RRE show session where real drivers say how good it is (not sure if they were on the official dev team or not). Sadly this doesn't always translate to good physics / FFB etc.

Wow, just finished watching that 2nd You Tube clip. Bloody amazing! The rain drops on the side windows, the water thrown up by the passing car, the pit stop crew in action. Oh no I'm going to have to visit Steam now.
I think they have a decent amount of Historics too

The car list didn't seem much different to Pcar1, only half sort of kinda group is the Gr5s which have less content than R3E. perhaps there will be more at release. Initial imprssion is that it's not worth bothering with But I probably will anyway... just in case  |

Yeah what Pete says. PC1 had Nick Hamilton and that Stig fella on board and we all know how that game turned out. The feedback I heared, was that PC2 is somewhere between the Gran Turismo/Forza games and something like AC. The only thing that I'm curious about, is the weather system. That's something I really miss in AC and missed for all those rF years as well. But what I've seen from that, it's all eyecandy and cars feel way too grippy in full wet conditions. |
