If anyone wondering this game died as Pcars3 came out don’t worry a lot of peeps still plays it as it’s way better than that new arcade BS. And it has a variety of cars from road to rally cross

20 bucks for a game with super nice graphics and a wide variety of tracks and cars, and some decent handling physics. Insane bang for buck

This title got me back to sim racing after many years, best option on ps4

Project Cars 2 is what I wanted GT Sport and GT 7 to be. Actual offline single player sim racing content.

Gran Turismo could learn so much from pc2. I played this game so much compared to gt sport, due to the career. Loved signing a contract, racing the calendar and have to qualify for your starting postition. Having damage and the weather changes makes it even better.

Loving these videos on specific sim games, it can be hard to find recent info on them outside of forums/reddit posts which sometimes only shows the issues people have and not how it stands up overall this long after release. Would love to see more on games like RFactor 2, Forza's, Gran Turismo's, etc. Even just as a video hitting them all back to back would be good.

For PC users: Reiza studios got the license of Madness Engine and enhanced it, creating their new game, Automobilista 2 It's actually project cars 2.5, with improved ai, realtime weather and so on

i already have it, I am here because i love the high level production you put into your videos :)

I think as a simulator on Ps4 it is still the best. as mentioned the variety of cars is great and the same for the tracks. I still play regularly mostly in free practice mode with a mix of assorted cars to simulate an uncompromising track day.

PC2 was my 1st driving game after GT Sport on PS4. Love the increased sim-ness of it. Not played in a while as I do GT Sport for racing and ACC for driving. PC2 feels like it's somewhere in the middle. Still was worth the £22 I spent on it (£11 for disc and then another £11 for the Deluxe edition on digital download. Deluxe Edition currently showing as £70 on PS4, definitely worth waiting for the sales. Before ACC released the British DLC for PS4 I used PC2 to drive Oulton Park in preparation.

I have been playing sims on PC for years and the 1st PCARS was my favourite single player sim out there - mainly due to its career. I love how you sign a contract and you race around a calendar. I switched to PS5 recently and picked PCARS 2 and it is still my favourite sim, this time on console. Great game with great content. I still love the singe player career but I also started doing some organised league multiplayer races and it is amazing

bought this on christmas sale, it was like 6 usd, all you need to do is get custom ffb, reshade to increase sharpen/gamma/saturation to your taste, and select your real FOV on cockpit/helmet/chase camera and you will have loads of fun. I'm not going to pay full price for ACC to only get gt3/gt4 cars, or forza bullshit.

Love your channel, bought the g29 shifter mod you reviewed, love it👍🏻👌

I fired it up 2 weeks ago and really had fun. The games shows its age here and there, but generally, there is still a lot of fun driving on the vast selection of tracks.

Great timing i was searching for video like this.

i still play it and it never gets old

Great and honest review of this sim. Subscribed my dude!

PC1 was the first game from this golden age of racing games I tried and I absolutely loved it. So, when PC2 came out I bought it on launch day and was not disappointed. It corrected most of the issues of PC1 and had way more content of the same high quality. I still play it today, even though I own many other more modern racing games. Although I enjoy PC3, I think PC2 is better and definitely worth your time if you like sim-style racing games.

Definitely worth it.. Still some great content in there. Still some shocking cars physics/ffb wise but theres is plenty that is good enough and really great immersion.

I went back to it a couple of days ago- its fun on controller but the main reason I like it is because of all the options when it comes down to tracks, cars and weather!

Thx for the review!

Easily one of the most immersive games in VR in my opinion. I personally get better performance on my VR headset on PC2 compared to other sims. Yeah maybe not the best for handling characteristics and other things but I think for $20 the visuals and performance and variety it has is what does it for me. Great video Brother!

i bought it on amazon for like 14 bucks a couple years ago, i still play and was a hundred percent worth it, great video

Used to host lobbies on this back in the day and focus on the old tracks with new cars was always popular and really fun never had an urge to go back since ACC and Iracing tho

I’ve been playing PC2 nonstop for the past couple of days, the game is really good even with a controller. Group C cars at Daytona race course is a great combo I would recommend.

PC2 is my favorite simulator, and yes I say simulator because it is a simulator. If you turn off all the assists and help tools it becomes a real experience without a doubt. The content is awesome and graphics are still at their best so I would recommend Project Cars 2 to absolutely anyone who loves racing.

Bought it last year and currently have 890+ hours of playtime with it, yes it's good. Just get the FFB mods and bam! you're good to go. PC2 and ACC are my default games for sim-racing now (because i love GT3 cars) while AC become my favorite photography simulator now lol.

Sheeeesh 15K already sky-rocketing broo

Review is spot on! I Jumped into this after not playing for 2yrs. = WoW i can't believe how the graphics are /were, that good, still today. After playing AC, PC2 is eye candy, then add the night racing & weather its really good. Sound FX (cars) is well done. Using a controller (yea i know) - the problem is some of the Cars setups, some are very hard to setup ie: LMP3 w/ controller ugh! Just never feel right. Also the front end in 90% of cars is numb, no feeling of the road, like ice & most have no FFB, only when braking. Hope for a new PC (#4) sim game

I have a ps4 and I play ac, acc and pc2, and pc2 is definitely the most fun, I don’t like to play it serious like I might do on acc but more like making fun of the ai or actually just drive: the immersion is great, in an indicar you feel that the car has no powered steering while in a road car you have a lot of assists, it’s a lot of fun to just drive and feel the different cars

I play with controller and I finally got the controller settings to a point where it’s possible to drive good consistently. F1 2020 and project cars 2 definitely top 2 favorite racing games

Still my favorite sim. Classic LeMans cannot be beat

i actualy played it again today, also had my heaviest online crash yet today. scary impact

It's helped me with my real life racing but it's given me a phobia of curbs and rumble strips

It's fun to dip into, esp with new FFB files. Great value for money when on sale, and a nice companion to also dirt cheap AC. Not a sim to be taken as seriously as others but still has better content and graphics than AMS2. Some track and car combos are plenty of fun. The LMP3/LMP900S are impressive.

Just got recommended this video figured I would take a peek. Solid Review, I bought the game in 2020 for $16.99 and that was WITH all the DLC Content. Still to this day, it’s my favorite game to hop on and enjoy some Career Mode.. Still haven’t had the chance to win the Championship in every discipline, but I’m working on it!! AI is definitely more consistent the higher you go with their skill, but I find setting up a decent Skill Strength and then fine tuning the Aggression Scale makes for some really close and clean racing, from Karts to LMP1 you can have a blast living out your dreams of having a Career as Racing Driver without ever leaving your home. Only thing I would recommend is, again, spending some time in Custom Events to nail the AI Levels and get them as close to your pace as possible. You’ll know you got it correct when they act quite similar to how you would expect a “good” Multiplayer Lobby to be. The second thing that really helped me get the most out of this game; was learning to set up the cars without the help of the Engineer. If you can consistently nail your setup and rely on the Engineer only in an “emergency situation” I find you can extract more time with less issues, because as mentioned some cars are great out of the box, others need some serious adjustment to really push hard on. Overall if you enjoy a mix of Career and the odd Multiplayer Race, this game is awesome. 10/10 would recommend again, especially when it’s On Sale! P.S: You can definitely find more than just bog standard GT3 events, all depends on what time you decide to play Multiplayer, the NA guys seem to like the GT catagories alot but if you play when the Euro boys are active there’s a lot more selection, just gotta pick the right time of day/night to hop on, best bet is joining a packed lobby tho. As starting your own, it can take a while to get some proper attention. People also seem to have a mutual understanding of Lobby Settings, what’s best and what causes major issues, so try and stick to what everyone else is doing and you can fill a lobby way faster! (If ypu decide to start your own.)

i agree good vid oc!

I play with the Quest 2, and this is the most immersive game I've played. Better than ACC, everything. Although I am waiting for the F1 series to support VR.

Multiplayer setup and interface is clean and has most of the options you'd want. It's still in the rotation a lot with my group of friends. It has a ton to offer compared to other sims even 4 yrs old. It's not perfect but it's better than most in a lot of ways that matter. Value for $$ for sure.

Good review, and my experience as well...VR is fab!

Nice video , what Xbox racing games do you recommend sitting side by side using the same console racing against each other at the same time?

By far my favorite sim with pops racer ffb mod and about 50 car mods. Playing in VR, 4090, yaw2 motion rig. Life is good.

I've raced a decent amount of sims from the last decade, Project Cars 2 is loads of fun and it looks amazing. The physics and AI are pretty sketchy sometimes though. I got Automobilista and Between PC2 and Automobilista, I would personally recommend Automobilista because it feels more grounded and the force feedback is a bit more descriptive. But if you want a game that looks great and is good for starters (even if it lacks a little in some things) I would recommend PC2.

I've been playing Assetto Corsa lately coming from PC2. They both have VR but i think Assetto car physics might be better + the car customization rocks.

Just gave it to my friend as present as a xbox key. He bought a wheel and a playseat so i was like lets do this game and F1 you wil enjoy it

Thanks for mentioning the VR capabilities of PC2. Here its really show its power.

i got this game for almost no money and it was the best decision i ever made when it came to gaming, it pushed me to get a wheel and i start sim racing

Thanks. Picked up deluxe edition on G2A for $12. Gonna give it a go in VR.

Just got the deluxe for $14. Awesome value!

Amazing video bro, I just have a request that can u make a video on what are the best Sim games one should buy or start as a complete beginner like if someone(actually me) want to start sim racing with 2-3 titles or so. Thank you, take care buddy

Yes even in 2024! Just did a whole evening on it with my new csl dd pro base :)

Project Cars was my entry to simulation. As console user I only had project cars 2 for online racing for quite a while... Never liked GTS. I enjoyed AC but the online on the console universe was dead. Now we have ACC which is with no doubt an incredible detailed simulation. Even so I still use PC2 for casual racing on different circuits, and car classes. Driving the BMW 320 group 5 on the green hell is one of the best combinations. In my opinion the phisics feel ok when compared to ACC although you don't feel the weight transfer as much. And the force feedback doesn't seem to me to be as bad as everyone says, although it is indeed a steep or two below ACC. You just need to tweak a lot on the settings, as AC fell great right outside of the box. For me PC2 it's a must have for console users. Absolutely. Never even tried PC3...

As some one who plays on controller, I enjoy the game but I find myself but I always find myself coming back to the same car and track combinations. If u don’t play on a wheel some cars are hard to drive while the AI are inconsistent (for me at least) and as u said the kerbs can be a bit hit and miss, so even tho there are a wide range of cars and tracks, some rarely get used. The multiplayer has always been a bit bland but especially now as people have moved, the majority of races where gt3 cars at monza and there was always one guy who just cut the chicanes because the rules were turned off. Overall, it’s a good sim racing game on console and the race engineer is really helpful and should be added in more racing games in one way or another, but for 60 quid it’s a bit expensive and it would be better to wait for a sale

I still have it on my hard drive. Full Modded AC is my all time fav but PC2 with its graphics and weather system is still to this day an always get back to drive once in a while for me.

It's always populated on pc, dipped into it other night and had a blast

The funny thing is people talk about it not being "simmy" enough, but A. They're wrong, and B. They never explain why when PC2 simulates more and does a better job at simulating than many of the "hardcore sims" including RF2 and AC. You can fix the broken real weather system using a 3rd party app thing tied to a new weather API to feed into the game. I used it to race at Road America in the snow on Christmas, it was pretty cool. The game also changes the environment and foliage based on season. The FFB is a lot better with custom profiles. Popsracer and Christiaan are both really good and add in missing effects which make it feel a lot more natural. Good luck to console players though. Gonna have to give a hard disagree on the game not being worth it, it still has a lot of features newer games don't, and just the volume of content available across more than just a single class division give it a lot of value.

Just got pc2 going finally after yrs of giving up on it , Logitech I just couldn't get it how I wanted it . But now with thrustmaster ts xw it's just perfect and loving it

PC2 is a necessary game along the way, it has many different classes of cars, a well developed career mode to guide player through a believable racing career and it's as realistic as it can get for a game with this many variety of cars, it gives us the information we need to take the next step into more focused game whether it's to turn it down a notch to an arcade sim or to a more class focused game or even step up to play in more authentic simulators. In my opinion the car setup concepts in PC2 are realistic enough that I can migrate it into another driving sim without much changes, the cars may not feel like a real one, but its concept behind it is realistic and is something we can learn from.

When I first started playing this game with my g923 soft lock worked without a hitch but now I have to set wheel rotation for every car manually I'm assuming that there was a patch that screwed up the soft lock putty because I do like this game.

To be honest, I find PC2 has the best clutch feel. You actually get good feedback when you rev match.

The GTE cars feel so good

I have PC2 on console (PS4). Only complaint is the pixelated look particularly when you look into the distance on track which makes it hard to drive. Is this my older flat screen TV or the console?

I still play both, (PCars 1 and 2) in my PS4!! No other game has so many classic race cars and classic tracks, than this one, in PS4!!

Just redownloaded this on my PS4 after not playing it for over 3 years. Still having issues on my G29 with FFB and wish I could just download one of the FFB files. It feels so awkward compared to most games (AC, ACC, GT, etc). Do you have any tips for your Logitech settings?

just picked it up on sale for 8.99!! still use project cars 3,but only for practice drives on highway.

After putting pops racers new ffb file I find pc2 it’s the best sim of them all when it comes to running under vr until acc gets its dlss support.

I bought this yesterday for $10 Australian - amazing.

I got the deluxe version for like $13 and for that price it’s amazing

one of major good point over AMS2 is DLCs are filled with actual content that base game doesnt have. Porsche legend Ferrari Essentials Spirits of leman all of those are pretty unique dlc and you dont need spend 10$ for an nord its already good thing

Even on controller i love playing this game. Lotus 49 and 98 is especially fun

How set up camera change view left- right in cockpit??? My camera/ sight turns only at rear/ chase camera

I still play it and I have all the sims. It always puts a smile on my face, can’t quite put my finger on why..it just does.

I totally agree with all in this video. I got it for free with games with gold before I even got Into sim racing and bought all the dlc when I got my wheel

The track and weather variety make this seem very enticing. I’m currently mostly an Assetto Corsa guy because I like the tweaking and experimenting, but the quality and quantity of tracks is honestly pretty sparse. The mods can be hit or miss. Project Cars seems to be a more user friendly and chill experience, sort of in line with Gran Turismo.

My first car game

Hey, maybe you should review the new T3PM pedals from thrustmaster!

I appreciate how it’s between GT sport and AC in terms of difficulty/realism

What should I get instead of Project Cars 2, if I want a similar experience with career and content?

I bought the game for 10€ because i wanted a game to play with gamepad when i don't want to mount my simracing setup. And it very nice to relax and play some when you don't want to go tryhard. For me is worth

Does it have like a thing were you can drive on streets in single player or multiplayer?

Pcars2 is still one my fav.. my go to sim..yes still worth it..must buy

I love this game myself and still play league races on it to this day, but I felt like a positive you could've mentioned is that this game is very good for people who are completely new to sim racing and want to get into it. The learning curve isn't as steep as in other games, although sweaty aliens with good setup knowledge will still have the edge of course. Some major negatives I'm surprised you didn't mention are the penalty system and the large amount of bugs the game has. The penalty system is absolutely abysmal, even penalizing you for going off track while you lost time instead of gaining time. You can also get your next lap invalidated for leaving the track in sector 2 and getting the penalty in sector 3, which is absolutely ridiculous. There are too many bugs to mention in a single comment, but this game did not receive enough developer support after its release, resulting in the game still having very obvious and easy to fix bugs like broken online lobbies and AI rolling starts crashing before you've even been given control of your vehicle. It's less buggy than the first game, but the existing bugs can still induce lots of rage lol.

Still good now. I've arrived back at it. Try it with the nVidia HDR filter and a good GPU. JUST DO !

I got it on sale on PS5 for £10.49 so a reasonable deal. Biggest issue I have with it ase the terrible anti-aliasing (jaggies everywhere man!) and some issues with dead spots on the throttle. Especially when pulling away up an incline. But considering the cost it's still a fun racing game.

Does it have open lobbies where you can take any car and drive around tracks with other people like in Forza Motorsport 7?

I got this for free with a subscription thing called Xbox live which gives you 3 games per month and lets you play online on Xbox. Wont even let me pair my wheel to it. Have no clue if it’s a bug or if it’s on my side

Seems cool. Wish I could still buy it...

You should make a video on the Nascar racing wheel, there is almost no information about it on the internet and it is a really inexpensive wheel.

The amazing level of immersion with the truly dynamic weather/time/seasons is what keeps me coming back. And the selection of tracks and cars…. Wanna drift around on a snow covered track with an RX car? You can. Wanna go back in time and race retro F1 cars on a historical track? You can. Wanna do an epic multi class endurance race in an LMP car at Le Mans with dynamic weather? You can! Wanna take a simple road car and chill at the Nurburgring? You sure can! I have been playing on and off since 2018 and though the game does have its flaws, like the inconsistency in cars and hit or miss ai on some tracks, everything else is just awesome. No other game captures that feeling of raw racing quite as well as PC2. The career mode has something for everyone, no gimmicks or OP cars, just a very solid realism oriented experience with full seasons and a great sense of progression. The selection of tracks is more than you’ll ever need. All the little bits of realism like manual pit stops, manual rolling starts, and the engineer talking to you through the radio really adds to the whole experience. That and the multitude of car setup things all the way down to adjusting brake ducts to reduce drag etc. The visuals might not be 4k UHD, but the color palette and lighting are so spot on! You can take any cars, on any track, in any season, any weather, any time of day, make your own custom championships or just mess around and have a massive field of go karts going around daytona. It’s all here.

I couldn't stand the bad screen tearing on xbox. Any solutions would be greatly appreciated.

Does PC2 have customization for every car ? Or its just comes up in another version like road, circuit and rally car ? Still searching for racing games with shift2 feature because shift2 is outdated in terms of car

This is my favorite racing game still,

One of the best games/simulators of last decade so far

Yes it is absolutely worth it. Got it for $16. Excellency game which has so much to do that statistically you will enjoy something for certain

I got this game because I felt like it was the closest thing I’d get to iracing until I get more money so I can actually get it. The game is a lot more fun to me when you have the dlc (especially the Spirit of Le Mans dlc)

Best Sim Racer ever made, hands down, not even debatable. I still run PJC2 as my Primary. PJC3 was an insult, and even though I run AC, ACC, GTSport, Rfactor 1&2, Raceroom etc, not a single one of them can hold a candle to PJC2. Thumbs on on the CC though, his review is grossly inaccurate. There are no issue with the ai, and the simulation is spot on. I bought it twice at full price, PC and PS4. and would do so again with no regrets. No sim out there is as complete and some are worthy of refunding. Bottom line PJC2 is THE STANDARD, everything else including the new titles need to catch up.

This game is still selling for 115$ for xbox for a 2017 release its holding value.

great content

❤ Still Rockin Project Cars 2 ❤ on PS4

I prefer PC1. The physics of PC2 is a soap track until in dry roads and the first version have more detail. Only on rain PC2 have more situations. Madness engine is very good. Today use in AMS2 the same of PC2 , but better
