PC2 Rate the Sims: Community Edition | Project CARS 2

[Paul Jeffrey]

We are looking to crown the 'RaceDepartment Community Favourite' racing game - get your votes in now for our next game on the list... Project CARS 2!

Our dear RaceDepartment community. You folks are the most mighty fans of sim racing, often displaying an immense amount of understanding and depth of knowledge when it comes to our favourite hobby.

With sim racing and eSports in such a wonderful boom period of late. Gamers looking to have some fun with their virtual racing machines have never before had such a wide and robust variety of software to enjoy.

Now occasionally I've been in a position to rate new racing titles that have come my way, and almost every time I've received a wide variety of folks agreeing, or strongly disagreeing with my own opinions.

Opinions are great, but sometimes the opinion of one person, with their own likes and dislikes taken into account, can often give a bit of a skewed picture (intentional or not) to the greater cause in which said person is trying to explain.

As such, rather than doing one myself, and in the spirit of engaging some interesting community discussion, I thought it could be fun to let our own community rate each of the key sim racing / racing games available today.

As always with these things, please do try and respect each other and their opinions, and let's try to see if we can give a fun, but fair shake of the stick to each of the games included in this poll.

For transparency, I'm going to be featuring the following racing games over the next weeks:

• Assetto Corsa
• Assetto Corsa Competizione
• Automobilista (AMS)
• DiRT 2.0
• F1 2019
• GT Sport
• GRID
• iRacing
• NASCAR Heat 4
• PCARS 2
• RaceRoom Racing Experience
• rFactor 2
• WRC 8
• Wreckfest

I'm going to launch the article each Monday evening, and keep the poll running for a full week until the next new article is pushed live. So get your votes in quick!

Once I've completed the full list of games, I'll publish a final results feature, and we can award the winning developer the lofty title of 'RaceDepartment Community Favourite'!

Have fun, stay sensible and let the voting commence!

To have 54 cars on track with PC2's amount of detail would probably require a Cray 2 supercomputer?

It depends on the graphical adjustments. If we are allowed, leave some details aside. It depends on the video card updates. Last year there was an update to my board, which GeForce Experience was calibrated to the maximum and running without lag. I never got it again. My card is a GeForce 960 GTX, i7-generation 4 processor, 16GB of RAM.

Too inconsistent to be fun.

Depending on the choosen car it fells like I'm playing a different game. Some behave like a very fine simulator, most fells like a bad simcade.

The AI is trash... part of the inconsistency, because sometimes it is convincing... but just sometimes.

SMS need more focuses on their next game. Try to launch the game with just a few categories... or embrace the simcade audience that they target and be consistent about it, like Polyphony and Turn 10 aways (try to) do.
