3 years for this? Motion blur and camera shake is a 'feature'... bleh.

Copy and paste graphics and content from 2 to 3, remove any type of sim physics it had, call it a new game, and charge $60. Welcome to modern gaming industry.

Corporate needs you to find the differences between Project CARS 2 and 3
Me: *They're the same picture*

[thesystempunk]

They went from Slightly Mad to Completely Mad. F&F Crossroads and now this? What's going on there?

[caveman]

Project cars 3 sounds like someone playing project cars 2 in another room

[WhiteoutTech]

Idk how they still didn't fix the horrible aliasing. Even at 4K with AA the whole image is shimmering.

[BongoBaggins]

Damage, gone. Pit stops, gone. Fuel consumption, gone. Long races, gone. Dynamic weather, gone(!).

I'm a Project Cars 2 fan, 625 hours played, and I was *SO* buzzing when I found out PC3 would be released for existing consoles. And now I'm disappointed.

[liamwest]

Wait, couldn’t they have made this a dlc or something. There is literally nothing different except for a few new models and maps.

[DrewMcIntyre.]

*Me* : Hey dude, can I please copy your homework?
*My class mate* : Ok, sure, but don't make it too obvious that you copied my homework.

I think banning pit stops and tire degradation is a huge step back. It's an important aspect of the race experience.

[thorist]

i wonder what SMS did for almost three years? basically all car models were carried over, all tracks too, there is literally no improvement to the graphics whatsoever and if anything then it looks worse, the lighting is definitely worse, rain effects are worse (where is the actual spray that looked so nice in PC1 and 2?) the physics have been numbed down...like...aeh??? and then wanting 59, 99€ in the steam store. it's a joke right?

Project Cars 2 > Project Cars 3, i can't stress this enough, we already have a clear winner.

[simulify]

It would have been great if slightly mad would have improved the anti-aliasing solution.

PC 3 looks over exposed. It makes the background look very cheap and is just more blurry than 1 or 2 at 1080p. I play at 1080p because I like the higher frame rate at that resolution, but in PC 3 it looks like I have it at a lower resolution ( like 720p) and things in the distance are completely out of focus. With the blown out lighting and out of focus distance the pop in really stands out. I hope an update will fix this. Another issue I have with PC 3 in the sound. It is far too low. I have the master volume set to 100 and it isn't anywhere near as loud as PC 2 with the volume set at 45. There are some things I like. For example the echo when you go through tunnels is nice, better than PC 2, but about the same as PC 1. Visually with the way the lighting is in PC 3 you lose a lot of detail in the sky. The soft focus in the distance makes the aliasing look more pronounced. I would like the MSAA option to return because it works great on PC 2. I bought the deluxe edition so I hope that in addition to more content we also get some of the option from PC 2 back in the game. And I now it's a reach, but tire wear and pit stops. I'd love to also see gas fires, oil spills and flaming wrecks. It would be cool to have a race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway look like the ending of Rollerball. After all, one can dream.

Nevertheless, I'm enjoying the approach to a "Shift-y" game. I liked NFS Shift back in 2010 very much.
It's just a kick in the stomach for seasoned Project Cars 1 and 2 fans, who obviously expected more of the content they were used to.

[Pin-Auto]

How are supposed to forget that they used a sim racer title for an arcade game?

[lowscore]

Wow! Those trees at 08:20 look really bad,

[forzaelite]

Project Cars 3 is arcade because Automobilista 2 exists so I'm okay with them going arcade. Wish it was marketed differently though....
