Project CARS 2

How is it with a pad?

This, interested to know if it feels much different to the first one. Probably wont be getting it anytime soon anyway seen as I have pre-ordered fm7.

You'll struggle to compete online against the wheel-and-pedals set.

I don't play online so that's irrelevant

Dunno, on PC1 I can keep up with most using a pad and PC2 is meant to be much easier using a pad. We'll see tonight...

Then it'll be the same as playing Gran Turismo 2 on a pad, just with more pretties and less cars to choose from.

 

[nebraska182]

Its totally fine with a pad,feels great right out of the box like i said earlier.

 

[Silent_Scone]

Well that's a shame as I spent an hour last night setting up my G25 ready for this

 

[-Jamie-]

Not a shame at all, it's still very much aimed at the wheel user.

I'm quite annoyed bought it on the way home, only to get in and load it up to find a 12gb update already. Seeing as I have turnip Internet I may get to play it tomorrow, disappointed

 

[Silent_Scone]

f**k me, it's taking an age to unpack the preload.

Wheel-based opinions required, hope it's an improvement on the last one.

 

[JB21]

C'mon!

 

[Silent_Scone]

Yes, even down to the slow feel. A lot more authentic for me
lol the time attack Evo is beast

For sure, the tyre model is far better now, actually feel like your connected to the tarmac.

That's on my TX wheel, not played with any FFB settings yet as unlike the first one, it works out the box well enough

 

[McGherkin]

Awesome! Is it still a bit mad past the limit?

 

[-Jamie-]

Nowhere near as mad as it was, you can actually catch a slide/oversteer now with spearing into the armco.

It's definitely a good improvement over the first that's for sure!

 

[Silent_Scone]

lol smashing all the leaderboards because there's literally no entries yet

 

[JB21]

Just done my first online race and got taken out on the first corner, f**k all changes! New, improved game but still full of morons.

There is a rating system that's meant to allow certain people into certain lobbies based on their ability and risk to others. Guessing it will take time.

Hope so mate, does my head in!

Raced with the Ferrari in GT3... It's gash! Back to the trusty M3.

 

[nebraska182]

Photo mode is amazing,you can see the incredible detail theyve put into the cars - seeing the engine bay through the XJ220's rear window!

 

[JamesBryan]

Looking forward to trying it out on the weekend.

 

[Silent_Scone]

 

[-Jamie-]

It's good, properly good. Few bugs on the Xbox version mind you.


Clio cup cars are still a right bundle of laughs, but you can actually catch the oversteer now a bit easier

 

[Euan94]

I've just got on it. It does seem really rather good, and only on a controller for the moment. Plus the car list is awesome, so many to try!

 

[Silent_Scone]

The Time Attack Evo and the Vulkan are epic. With all assists off you really have to dance around with the Vulkan, it's super unforgiving.

 

[JB21]

Buggy online on PS4, crashed twice now making me load the game again. Don't like that you can't have the full racing line either, and what's the deal with blue arrows? Good points so far, the Lambo is an absolute beast in the GT3 class and graphics are much improved.

 

[nebraska182]

This is hilarious - Slightly Mad CEO Ian Bell (worth about £200M) on a live stream chat,getting pissed on bottles of wine - ends up singing with his guitar haha.

 

[Silent_Scone]

lol legend. That bit at about 4 hours something where he talk so about how EA tried to f**k them over..

Also, reminding me how old the G25 is...

It's still a damn fine wheel. Might be time for the thrustmaster.

 

[richard1764]

Had confirmation that my copy was delivered by Amazon. Unfortunately stuck on a sunbed in Kos lol. Fly back tonight so tomorrow's plan is setting up wheel and seat and getting some laps in.

 

[Silent_Scone]

Oh you poor thing

 

[Silent_Scone]

 

[sneeks]

I only had a quick play of this yesterday before leaving for holiday, seemed OK on the pad and hopefully even better on the wheel. I've purchased the season pass so it better be good!!!

 

[Silent_Scone]

The ginetta gt4 car is a total pig at Cadwell. It's like a bucking bronco, and under-steers like hell.

 

[Euan94]

I had a go in the time attack evo and it's hilarious. You cannot spin it because a boot full just pulls it wherever the front wheels point.

Also the live track is awesome, the puddles and aquaplaneing are very well done.

 

[Adamm.]

Kind of disappointed with how this game looks from videos I've seen. Maybe it's the players but it still looks like the handling past the limit of grip are kind of broken.

The still shots above look impressive though and no doubt the physics are brilliant before the breaking point.

I don't know, feels pretty good once you disable the relevant assists that come with the cars real-life counterparts.

 

[Adamm.]

Any gameplay as what I've seen so far didn't look promising. Maybe I'll have to take another look.

AMG GTR, medium compound, no assists in heavy rain =

 

[nebraska182]

Theres a bit of a difference watching gameplay and actually playing the thing. Starting with the fact that everyone seems to use the terrible chase cam in vids.

Im really enjoying the Ginetta Junior championships in career. But one mistake and youre knackered,pretty much like real life hehe.

M3 GT4 on wets on the Ring is mega fun as well, Properly dances about
