Generic The Future

They stated that physics have been completely reworked and "improved". Now words like "good", "improved" etc. are absolutely relative. I'm wondering what they mean with "improved". Does it mean the handling is easier and more forgiving? Or maybe the contrary? I'm not entirely sure. I really hope they stick a little bit to their previous model. I really liked it. Also the collision model was spot on, even if some say cars would stick together like they were glued. I never experienced that, maybe because I'm an extreme no contact racing kind of guy so I had very few collisions.

Watched a few Dirt 4 streams and it seems they also changed something. Before it was very difficult to get a good run in Sweden because even a tiny little contact with the snow banks on the sides of the track would slow you down and most of the times spin out as well. This doesn't happen anymore. It's easier now and more forgiving. I have no idea if it's more realistic now, but I doubt it tbf.

 

The glue effect is very real and it's probably what I hate the worst about PCars1. You can't follow too closely into a corner because if there is the slightest contact with the car in front, you become hooked to him and can't break free until you are usually both off the track.

 

I agree with you: what does it mean "improved"? if it means more adherent to reality that is ok. If it means more "arcade" than for me it is only bull****. Everybody know the strenghness of the 1st PCars as track roster, variable weather conditions, career single player meanwhile AC is much stronger for physics model, online and now also championship configuration (the best I ever seen). If PCars want really improve must get closer to AC physics model. For moment there are only words and marketing. Let's see what will come out.

 

I really never experienced that. I prefer to back off instead of making strange moves risking to ruin someone's race. I also didn't experience other bugs like invisible walls or land mines. I must've been just lucky. Anyway, Let's hope they can sort these things out.

I don't think they're going to implement anything "arcadey" to their game. Why should they? If they're really going to develop a similar physics system as AC, they need to sort out the collision model, which causes car parts to not absorb kinetic energy properly just throwing it back. Your car usually ends up in some kind of swan lake ballet. Not a big fan of this tbf.

 

I never race online, the glue effect I feel is with the AI. I never had the land mines or invisible walls either.

 

It's strange because when I happened to have contact with another car I should've felt this effect as well. Is it maybe a single player issue? Try racing online as well man. It's an interesting feeling when you race other people. Sometimes you even get to race some monkeys as well lol (actually calling a griefer a monkey is an insult to all monkeys out there!)

 

Online is just as bad, Only play online and we call it magnetic cars.

 

I want to mean "in the case" the development direction is more oriented to an easy user approach I will not like it. If you look around the web you can find some articles where SMS put in competition PCars 2 with GT Sport and Forza which are not really pure simulations. This is the reason of my doubts about physics model. Regarding the bad collision model you are right but also the tyres model is a little too permissive. Anyway I consder it a nice game but prefere AC much more.

 

Here's a nice little podcast from the F4H guys with Joe Barron from SMS as special guest. At minute 17:58 they start discussing the glue effect issue.

Porsche is ever welcome everywhere

Porsche is ever welcome everywhere. It seems I already seen a similar car list somewhere but I am not able to remember where... it seems it is coming up an interesting game

 

E3 trailer from Project C.A.R.S 2 and launch date: 22 September 2017!

 

F40 IMSA GT, 365 Competizione and R390 GT1. Just...Wow.

 

SMS really want to hit it out of the park huh? You have codemasters giving us scraps with Dirt4 just so they can put RX and landrush on the box, then SMS are like nah this is how you do it, have the whole world! Hats off.

Plus side to this is Kunos have to come up with something for the inevitable sequel to Assetto Corsa. Give us a way to make our own tracks, no randomizing etc. And right there is your major selling point for AC 2.

 

Let's see if they can hit that launch date. I was thinking it might be more towards Christmas. I might roll the dice and preorder it anyway.

 

Well... I hope that it won't delay because the launch day is my birthday
So it will be a great day and "present"

I did my preorder quite more than a month ago... I really enjoyed a lot their first game (and still enjoy it) and that makes Pcars 2 a must buy from day one.

 

For me on PS4 I liked to play the arcadis/sim PCars but after 9 months waiting and hoping they could fix the landmines invisibly walls grinding of the steering wheel and more bugs I stopped to play there game to never touch it again .
The question for me is will there be the same bugs in PCars 2 like in PCars 1 .
Only Time will tell but I won't be pre ordering it or bye it on launch day no way , but I know Donnced2 you will give us a true opinion/review for PS4 I hope .

 

Yeah, no more sim-racing title pre-orders for me. There's just too much to go wrong. A big thanks to all the folks willing to run headfirst into battle though

 

Yeah, the first title was delayed more than once, so It could happen again. We'll see.
And as others have already said, I'm certainly not gonna jump on it at day one. I need to see if the overall experience (pad feeling, AI, sounds etc.) is improved over Project CARS 1 or not.

 

A delay will be almost sure I would be very surprised if it hits the 22 of September .
