213 Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 i see this screenshot and think trickery and photoshop. then i pay admission fee and see for myself. the pre-alpha is amazingl polished and the game really looks that good. best part. it is a sim, not arcade nonsense like need for speed, gt5, forza, grid, etc.

I've been playing pCARS for a while now, its great. community investment about to hit 1,000,000 pounds :). Lot of rich gamers out here :megalol: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Ali Fish Posted April 22, 2012 Author Posted April 22, 2012 can anyone explain the funding behind pcars ? i find it rather ironic that a group of developers frequently published by EA go to start a kickstarter-esque system to raise cash for development to then get publishing rights aquired by EA. seems a little strange to me but maybe someone can explain my question. another question i have is that of Origins! and wether pCars will be an origin's platform based product ?

cichlidfan Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 (edited) FYI- I was glancing at the current PC Gamer and noticed a listing, in the table of contents, for an article on Pcars. I neglected to read it and do not have the magazine though. Figured someone might be interested. EDIT: This is probably the article. http://www.pcgamer.com/previews/project-cars-preview/ Edited April 26, 2012 by cichlidfan ASUS ROG Maximus VIII Hero, i7-6700K, Noctua NH-D14 Cooler, Crucial 32GB DDR4 2133, Samsung 950 Pro NVMe 256GB, Samsung EVO 250GB & 500GB SSD, 2TB Caviar Black, Zotac GTX 1080 AMP!

MainSail Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 Yesterday when searching for an other racing game i game across this pCARS project. It just blew me away. I immediately bought (also to support the project that is also based on community funding) and downloaded the sim. (alpha version see link).

Zentaos Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 Project C.A.R.S. You should see it now! All credit goes to Majik for the incredible vid
camsr Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 This looks 10 times better than AC. Thanks for the heads up.
Zentaos Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 I will probably run both...:) ...but I can't go back to GT or Forza after playing these Sims. The console games feel like driving on ice now.
genbrien Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 yep, + doing races with only 2-3 laps (with Forza4) is kinda boring Do you think that getting 9 women pregnant will get you a baby in 1 month?[sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Mobo: Asus P8P67 deluxe Monitor: Lg 22'' 1920*1080 CPU: i7 2600k@ 4.8Ghz +Zalman CNPS9900 max Keyboard: Logitech G15 GPU:GTX 980 Strix Mouse: Sidewinder X8 PSU: Corsair TX750w Gaming Devices: Saytek X52, TrackIr5 RAM: Mushkin 2x4gb ddr3 9-9-9-24 @1600mhz Case: 690 SSD: Intel X25m 80gb
mmaruda Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 This looks 10 times better than AC. Thanks for the heads up. Unfortunately it doesn't drive as well - the FFB is still very poor in CARS. And the graphics... meh I run CARS maxed out and it never looks as good as in the screens and vids.

mmaruda Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 No it's not a cinematic and I am not missing any settings. It's just something about this game that makes it look better on screens and videos than when you are not in the cockpit actually driving. Yes, it does look better than Corsa overall, but it's not that huge a difference when you are actually playing the game.

It's still WIP so if you put settings on max, you don't get any warning that graphic card support it or not, unless it crash.

Good point....:) I have a fairly powerful rig, i7 2700k, on an Asus P8Z68 Gen3, 16GB RAM, Ati 7970 3GB. I run all settings maxed except SMAA. It looks like the promo vids when I'm playing. It is very much a work in progress, but it is getting better every day. I haven't driven Assetto Corsa yet to compare, so I can't comment. Cars' FFB is very good with my current wheel setup (Fanatec GT3RS V2, CSP V1, 6 spd Porsche shifter). You do have to spend a little time tweaking the settings to get the feel just right. I can easily control power slides, and feel the limits of grip. Some tracks and cars are further along than others, so be careful what you compare ;)
