Not intending to discredit the franchise's first two iterations, nor approving EA's chicanery, I disagree with the title of this video. PCars always had a bad taste going along with itself, mainly because of empty promises and bug-infested gameplay. Not only that, with it's 3rd installment it really pushed itself over the edge - it is jokingly bad. In my opinion PCars drove itself up against the wall. EA may just have done the cleaning up, realizing the lack of profitability.

Thanks for the kind yet also fair comments on the franchise. I was very fortunate to have been both sides of the fence, an avid fan and player but also a dev working on the franchise from 2016 through to now. It's a real shame that fans of the franchise won't get to see or play what we had in the works, as we were pushing the engine further than we had before, learning from the mistakes made in the past and making big improvements with some very cool and unique features. Hopefully another team will dare to dream as big as we were, and give the sim racing genre the kick that it needs to evolve further.

@@cbj4sc1 Not just the name. pCars 3 was worse in graphics, performance and especially sounds than pCars 2, so very unfinished and IMO the biggest mistake was to develop two bad (remember Fast & Furious Crossroads) instead of one decent title. I was playing pCars 3 over 30 hours because this concept of doing races to earn money for cars and upgrades motivates. The driving was at least more realistic than FH5 and felt more natural than pCars 2 over the limit. It was foremost not finished and calling it pCars 3 just another nail in the coffin. With the workhours that was put into FF Crossroads they could've created an open world environment similar to Forza Horizon and than name it whatever they like, because it probably would've been a hit.

Yep. As a console PS4 player I can credit two games for getting me into sim racing, Drive Club and Project Cars. Drive Club ignited the spark because it gave the ability to tilt the controller to steer (and it worked) making me think 'ooh, a wheel would be good...'. and then Project Cars 1 really got me into it with making a custom rig and making custom steering wheels. Sure it had its faults, but it provided console players with an experience previously unavailable to them.

Didn't even feel the need to mention PC3 in the video, we all know what we think about that one. The loss of PC2 and SMS is truly sad, as it was an introduction to simracing for many of us, me included. Ian Bell had a sort of shell company when they worked on NFS Shift and Shift 2, which allowed him to escape EA with the Madness engine to make Project CARS. Now, they had two absolutely DISASTROUS releases back to back (F&F Crossroads) and got bought out by Codemasters (who I already didn't trust) and then bought out again by EA, who was seeking the F1 and WRC licenses. Ian, predicatbly, instanly ejected himself from there and now here we are. I have to say, though, since PC3 and all of his blabbering, I will NEVER trust him again with a simracing title. At least we have the amazing sim that is AMS2 to keep us going.

The only thing PC's weather system has that ACC hasn't is snow, when it rains in ACC the racing line becomes the most slippery part, and as the rain keeps falling the track goes from optimum to green, which means that the rain progressively washes away the rubber, improving the grip on the racing line, plus rivers on the track are not automatically generated, but placed specifically where GT3 drivers told them they are in real life

pcars2 imo was around 60-70% of market leader simulators in terms of physics accuracy. One of the biggest issue i found that abs and traction simulation was absolutely horrid, ams 2 which i tried recently again, was a real showcase of what was possible on madness engine, it fixed pc2 horrid TC/ABS, cars behaved much inline how other sims does in terms of asphalt grip and slide recoveries, its a shame that ams2 has absolutely dead MP and content is very divided and most popular tracks are hidden behind DLC. Id say ams2 physics are 80-90% of other sims like acc, rfactor 2, iracing, ac1, RRE and it has its own advantages such as good performance, very good visuals, very good sound, excellent weather/day/night transitions. Cautiously and slightly optimistically, looking forward for new GTR game

The soundtrack and sense of progression is solely missing in modern sims, as much as I have modded Assetto Corsa and rFactor 2 (along with ACC and older sims like GTR2). Project Cars is still the most satisfying in terms of an actual career and the feeling of events. The calendar really gave a sense of immersion unlike anything else, even moreso. It was awesome that you could be invited to LeMans while not actually racing GT/Prototypes. Like the real world. Project Cars is unfortunately cancelled. I just hope EA don't screw up the WRC franchise to appeal to the general market, and definitely no microtransactions (but knowing EA. Microtransactions and lootboxes are more than likely).

The studio got some cool ideas over the years (the helmet cam, the camera following the apex, the push to have dynamic weather in racing games) and the engine is really good. Again, just sad to see them go.

This was the first game I bought with my oculus. Although I only had a 1060 at the time, the game ran flawlessly and gave me hundreds of hours of enjoyment on the California highway + Nurburgring. My only wish is that they one day allow modding

I really enjoyed both games. you didn't need a full racing rig, costing thousands and wasnt full on, drive for kicks, arcade. Had a great cost, rather then buy one car and pay 10.99 for said car, per car.. and the focus was evenly split on single player and multiplayer. Most race games now, dont perform as well with controller unless full arcade or if its at least passable, have a junk single player experience.

3:00 That the reason I still keep Project Cars 2 around while also palying Automobilista 2: Sometimes I just like to hop into a good career after work without having to set much stuff up. It has interesting paths and good racing series to choose from that you can always pickup later. Right now AM2 is still missing that, even thos its alot better in other areas.

I played Project Cars before I got into actual cars, years later and now that I am a casual car fan I kinda regret not getting into it. The only Sim Racing game I played that has a Go-Kart, RIP Project Cars.

I'm really sad about this because this is the game franchise that got me into Sim Racing (on console at least) I have the physical Game of the Year version for PCars1 and it was awesome, and last year I got PCars2 digitally with all the DLC and I was blown away at how well it was for consoles. A shame I won't be able to see this franchise evolve more than it had

Project cars for me was a bit of a frustrating experience. It was tethering on the edge of greatness but it just lack the polish and the fixes required to make it truly great. One example is the impossibility to separate low aero versions to the standard versions of cars like group C or fixing the engine breaking bug which gave that weird lift off oversteer in some cars. I would go from racing in Lemans on the GTEs for 2 hours and getting my mind blown at how good a race it was to rage quitting in frustration over the way the AI behaved or some cars handled. I tend to remember more of the exceptional than the bad so that is saying something. AMS2 has basically superceeded pcars 2 in everything except for sheer ammount of content. But it makes me look back in frustrations as well thinking that this is what pcars2 could've been.

Lol yeah I remember the many hours I put into trying to get my force feedback to feel decent. Pcars 1 was eventually pretty well fixed by the files from the "guy on the forum". if I remember he was called Jack Spade btw. I actually had a harder time getting pcars 2 to feel good. Especially because some later updates messed up my tuning that I'd spent so long trying to develop and put me back at square 1. Eventually it was solved the same way, by getting a file from the forum. And it did feel awesome after that.

Project Cars 1 was great, Project Cars 2 was a masterpiece, especially for a single player sim racer. The one thing I hated about it though is that the AI isn't affected by the weather effects in the same way as the player. This diminshed that otherwise great feature from this game. Nice that you made this video in memory of the game, it absolutely deserves it.. and automobilista is not a complete replacement yet.

@Rerags_ Жыл бұрын

imo, PC and PC2 were the most complete packages in the whole genre... as someone, who struggled with getting AC to work properly with my gear, PC2 gave me everything i wanted without much bullshit... it also covered so much racing series, for example: - european endurance racing eras - imsa - nascar and indycar - formula - rallycross - touring ...and much more i can't remember rn also, for a brief time i raced with other people from a small youtuber's community and despite the minorly flawed systems like the race starts for example, it was the only time i could enter a custom race with like-minded people without being gatekept by a large amount of barriers like necessary mods, experience or high-end gear and i'm truely greatful for that

spot on, the smaller cars were excellent on most tracks.. great fun. PC2 does stand quite high in my list of good driving games. AMS2 & ACC are technically better games but ive not enjoyed the journey as much as the one PC2 took me on. The only issues i can remember was pit stop failures. PC2 felt like the game only needed a handful of tweaks so i didnt understand the direction they went with the 3rd game, altho i cant judge bcos i didnt play it. I let myself be influenced by media reports.. ive sinced changed that habit :)

We know Ian has poached developers after EA's announcement of killing the franchise, but could it also be possible that EA pulled the pin because Ian had already poached too many senior staff from the project? We'll likely never know, but it's odd that things are being cancelled now and not months ago.
