PC3 Project cars 3 I played it and heres what i think..

[graham123]

Well I have been giving this a go for a day now. And I want to like it ,I really do but.......Slighty mad are making it very hard for me.

The graphics whilst ok are just that, even when everything is on highest level.. so no reward there then!
The Car's are mostly from PC2 and just lifted across with 1 or 2 extras??

Sounds ..well to be honest I was VERY shocked at how bad the cars sound, for a game in this day and age they are terrible!!

AI....mmm on one track you can beat them so easily, i had to check my settings ,yet on another, no matter what I did i could not get near them???

Tracks..All seem to be OK but nothing again stands out..

so are there any good points??? well maybe yes, but really depends on your level of skill, most average sim racers will find little if any joy in this game, but newbies will have fun with it and may even learn a few things, by that I mean the Brake, turn in and exit points on corners ( in assist mode) really would help starters getting to grip with taking corners....but not sure if braking points would transfer to other titles.

In conclusion then I think a fair game for those new to racing and not that serious about it yet, older hands will be bored quickly and to be honest there is not much to make me want to rush back and play it..

So my advice would be DONT buy at full price ...it really is not worth it. Anyway will be in the bargin bin soon.

I'm confused, what exactly is your problem with the game? That a hypercar, which is faster and has a much quicker acceleration than a GT3 car in real life, is also faster and quicker in the game? That the game lets you race against different classes of cars? One would assume that those are both good things.

How condescending of you. Polish has punctuation as well, you know?

my problem is if i drive gt3 i want all use gt3 as tey comparable accel, top speeds and grip levels etc, not im drivn gt3 and others drive f1. thats stupid and i will be slower. or now faster is who upgraded his car to max. not much time will pass and they find out which car upgraded at max is fastest in game an then yo will have online lobbys with one car everybody have upgraded to max, and yo cant even make qual so its random grid, all have same car fastest in game upgraded to max and random grid, then yo can only win when yo lucky nobody rear end yo in first turn. thats stupid. it can still be good game to play at couch wit gamepads on split screen and laugh at crashes, but as i told above its stupid game, it will punish yo for trying to drive clean

Doesn't look good from the user reviews so far on both PC and consoles
Steam reviews has it as mixed 51%
Both consoles have it at 2.4*

If there is one thing I've learnt from sim racing in the past 10 yrs is that I won't trust or buy any more SMS or codemaster titles until they change there development ways.

Which is a shame as I like many fell for the whole Project Cars thing when it started, just to end up with rushed unfinished products that were abandoned to move onto the next cash grab.

Agree, it's all about money for some (not all) developers and while I do think this is reality as mouths have to be fed, bills to be paid it does get frustrating if I'm a long standing customer looking forward to updates / improvements to Games / Sims I've purchased, that do not come....only to be faced with a new version coming out that may or may not be better .

Theres nothing at all wrong with Codemasters games. Their racing games are brilliant compared to how they used to be. This is nothing to do with codemasters its still SMS and Bandai Namco.

I never said Codemaster has anything to do with this, i simply said I wont buy Codemaster or SMS products going forward until things change.
Overpriced money grabs, with add on DLC with sub-par physics, ffband audio is not what I am looking to spend my money on.
I respect that you think Codemaster is brilliant, I personally don't enjoy them.
We can both have our opinions

Tho I am curious to see if any future Dirt Rallies will use the Madness engine....it would greatly enhance the Dirt series if done right using the the loose surface physics.

Like Dirt Rally 2.0, I'll put money on it PC3 will be half price within the next month or two based off current reviews.

I havent seen one good review of it. Its tempting to buy it just to see if its really that bad or whether its on par with GRID but at this point i think GRID is probably better. SMS are gonna throw one massive hissy fit when they read all these reviews or see what the youtubers have said about it.

You just don't understand the "revolutionary" nature of this title, read on and watch the interview.

Project Cars 3 Devs Break Down What To Expect At Launch And Beyond

Slightly Mad Studios' racing sim features the most robust career mode and track list in the series, and there's plans to grow post-launch.

And have a good laugh along the way.

I can't comment on comparing it to grid as I've only played grid autosport, briefly many yrs ago when I moved from console to PC and was looking for something to replace FM4 with. Autosport was decent and had potential from what I recall but lacked player base and community to keep me interested.
Going by SMS past trends they will more than likely address some of the major issues and half ass the rest before moving on....that's if they don't do what they did after Shifter 2 release and abandon it altogether blaming the publisher told them too and cut funding.

In my little dream world, I'd love to see them go back and finish PC2 properly. Than license the Madness engine to codemaster and merge in to help them make the current codies series better....F1 & Dirt.

There's just too many developers trying to get a piece of the racing pie. I feel the past when alot of these teams were working together rather than independent they produced better products.

Personally i think when/if codemasters take on the madness engine it will be a next gen version with ray tracing etc otherwise the graphics will be behind for next gen

When were teams working together? I've been around since Crammonds first Grand Prix and I don't remember them ever working together.

GTR2....Blimey games after they split had members go on to isi, simbin(sector3) and sms as they are today if memory serves me correctly

I like it for what it is. Should have never been called Project Cars and that's the issue you need to pull yourself away from. Let's pretend it's named something else and then review.
I already have rF2, AC, ACC, AMS 2 and PC2. Thousands of dollars in a direct drive rig. Sims are taken care of.
I like "PC3" as an arcade game. I like it better than turdismo spurt so far. I'm only into Road C on Career Mode and have done a dozen or so custom races. For an initial release, there are bugs, nothing outrageous. The biggest things that annoy me so far is the lack of menu item descriptions. They also took away or dumbed down menu settings.
But the biggest annoyance is that they have grouped together classes of cars in Custom Races. ?????? ? What? I can't dive GT4 cars against just GT4 cars or GT3. Some classes they kept together and some they split up into weird groups. I do a GT3 race, same class selected and there's two tack-day Sestos 13 second ahead of everyone. WTF? This seems like an easy fix with an update though, question is, will they do it or do they care. We'll see. Another one I just remembered, chose a custom race with Road E Ford Escort, Same Class, you're paired with the BMW 2002. That's it, because they are "the older cars".

yes it looks like it get bad reviews just because it project cars and not a sim anymore, look like Bell wanted so hard to make next shift 3, but he announce pCARS3 earlier an tey started to working on it, then it was bad to tell us "look we not makin pc3 , we make shift 3 first" it was too late so tey sell shift 3 named pcars3 thats so much hate abous it.
abous last yo tell abous mixed classes, i though it is like that but wasnt sure, i wanted to ask somebody now i know. i saw somewhere there was gt3 cars wit some cars i dont recognize and i saw like v8 supercar in same class. i wanted to ask it if yo still can play only gt3 race but now i know. thats no go to me, fo""k pit stops, fuel tyre temps if it shall serve me as quick weekend racing sim, but if i not able to run race in same class races then no, maybe they utilize this wit next patch but i doubt it as tis game made do casuels and lot of casuels dont even know difference between gt3 and v8 SC, so casuels never ask for such patch

 

[Deleted member 963434]

also if tey tell us honestly "sorry we suspending pcars3 for now, we make shift then next pcars game" i tink it will be hate but not as much as lying to us and selling shift as pcars. like cant they split into two racing games make shift 3 and then pcars3, then shift 4 and pcars 4 as codemasters doin with dirt rally 2.0 and dirt 4?
