Project cars

[Cookie]

Allegedly there is a day 1 patch, just don't know when it's going to come out

 

[thedjse]

I downloaded it will be waiting till after work first impressions from people dont seem very good lol

 

[BIFCAIDS]

Serves you all right for playing it before the 8th LOL

 

[MarkCup]

I have it an hour last night. No bugs, sound through my headset was fine. Having driven nothing other than Horizon for a couple of years though, I found it f**king hard. Got lapped by 50% AI on a 5'lap race around Brands Indy LOL

Yeah, this is going to be good. Looking forward to having more time to fine tune everything.

 

[N0ddie]

Early players suggest starting off easy and working your way up to get used to it.

 

[RMDavis]

I haven't got a problem with difficult AI or cars that are hard to control due to their power or design. But... This is the first racer I have ever played where I'm being beaten simply because I cannot physically steer the bloody car, lol!

Yeah. I didn't fair too well vs AI either! Lol.

I think when more bugs are ironed out and hopefully a more consistent handling then it will be s great game. Combine that with adjusting to the game I'm sure it'll be epic.
Its just disappointing to wait this long, with all the delays for ironing bugs etc and yet it's still bugged to hell. I dread to think How it was a few months back! [emoji33]

Yeah... think I'll turn on abs etc and ease into it a bit [emoji106]

So used to playing FM5 with everything off

 

[MarkX]

I'm glad I didn't pre order! Not many seem happy, I'll pick it up when prices drop and it's less buggy.

I booted the game up for my first play and spun out on the very first corner. The car slides lots during the first lap but once the tyres are hot the grip is massively improved.

This is something I completely forgot to even think about. Was doing OK-ish around the 'ring in a Megane 265 then found it oversteering everywhere and braking in anything other than a straight line was impossible...then I noticed the rears we're totally stone cold but the fronts nice and toasty.

I have to recalibrate everything I think...and I'm going to consider running an assist or two until I dial into it. The AI is definitely getting set lower down as well.

Ah. Forgot to take this into account.

 

[BIFCAIDS]

Wonder how many people do fastest laps after 1 lap on a real track.

 

[Welsh.Dan]

Yeah I know what your saying, but I'm not going for lap records from the off.... just keeping with the AI pack.
Using same lines and speed and it's still squirming about even with smooth inputs.
But I'm sure adapting to the game and turning a few assists on will help a lot.

 

[sneeks]

I'll be adjusting the controller sensitivity when I play again tonight, the default settings definitely need changed.

 

[RMDavis]

Whoever designed those karting tracks needs shooting, lol! So many elevations, even mid corner! Took me an hour just to finish the first championship...

 

[Cropper]

It's like a ramp for the kart! And when you bump the kart in front it just decides to mount the other kart. 100% sorting the controls out, got used too it by going mid class Porsche around a big track.. Just the little tracks with limited grip that's catching me out

 

[sneeks]

98T Renault Turbo on the Azure Circuit is fun

 

[N0ddie]

Default mode 2 is allegedly best for the controller.

 

[sneeks]

Not sure this is the best mode of transport around Monaco!!

 

[Rossi1989]

Starting downloading this before i left for work this morning if anyone wants to add me on Xbox one GT: haggis2k16

 

[SharkyUK]

LMFAO! I attempted Brands Hatch Indy in a thunderstorm driving a SuperKart and using the Xbox One controller on PC. I didn't even make it out the end of the pit lane before my first brush with the wall! :tonguewink:

Lol. The karts any good then? Might try them tonight.

I'll add you later. Anyone know if you can progress through career with online opponents or is it strictly AI for career.

 

[Cropper]

Strictly AI by the looks of it, wish I'd gone for Clio cup first instead of karting

 

[Mr Burns]

I'm not really into video games much, but after seeing Project Cars I thought I might treat myself to a new console...

It sounds like I should wait a bit!

 

[sneeks]

The karts are fun but my first kart race was carnage. Karts were darting about everywhere and suddenly I was launched in the air into the barrier. Hopefully I can only improve from there.

 

[josh11490]

Think I will pick this up tomorrow for xb1.

If anyone wants to add me my gamertag is pewsey114

 

[Pearcy]

Had 10 mins with no sound but seems promising

I think it's got the potential to be very good mate... but it's more geared (no pun intended) towards the simulation end of the market and, in my opinion, needs a steering wheel and pedals setup to get the most out of it.

Tried the Caterham around Oulton park with no assists. I wouldn't recommend it lol.

 

[BIFCAIDS]

Anybody order this from GAME online?

I had very little joy with the Caterham around Imola.

 

[GarethM]

Well cancelling my Amazon order was a good idea. Ordered from Shopto at 4pm yesterday and it's just been posted

 

[Ben]

Surely the Amazon order would of been posted today too if you hadn't of cancelled?

 

[Munson]

Needs a racing rig. Unplayable on joypad. Certainly with the default settings.

 

[AdDaMan]

Oh don't say that....:-(

 

[Welsh.Dan]

Ah right. Think I might opt for clio then.

The karts are fun but my first kart race was carnage. Karts were darting about everywhere and suddenly I was launched in the air into the barrier. Hopefully I can only improve from there.

Lol. Sounds hilarious. Sounds like clio would be the safer bet. Ha ha

Think I will pick this up tomorrow for xb1.

I'll add you.


Seems like I'm not the only one struggling with it then. I do think a wheel would complete the game. [emoji106]

 

[GarethM]

When I said posted I mean I have received it through my door. It hadn't even been dispatched at 4pm yesterday so no it wouldn't have. Plus it was cheaper on Shopto.

 

[AdDaMan]

Because you said posted and not received he thinks you meant dispatched.

 

[GarethM]

Yeah Ad I realised that after is written it and edited my reply ha.

 

[Ben]

Yeah crossed wires haha.
