We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
the physics feel a lot more connected to the road than most other "sims" like gt sport, while still being more forgiving when you push the limit of grip. All while feeling great on controller. It's a shame there's no demo as I think most people would really like it if they tried it.
Been enjoying my time with this. As someone who uses controller, I found Project Cars 2 an absolute nightmare.
They've done a great job with the controller in 3, and have really enjoyed the daily challenges and general feel of the game. You can definitely feel the Driveclub inspiration from Rushy for sure.
Some frame rate issues on the Pro but nothinf that has really hurt my experience so far. Shame that it hasn't sold well. Hopefully word of mouth us at least decent so it has some legs.

Screen tearing? Did pCARS 1 and 2 suffer from that? I can't really recall. I'm honestly not a huge stickler for visuals in this day and age but screen tearing is something that should really not be in modern major releases IMO. I'll take almost anything else in its place
I'm quite enjoying this game. It's the most fun I had with a racer since DriveClub. If you like simcade that handles well with a controller, pick this up. Ignore the haters. I also love how easy it is to get into a quick multiplayer race without jumping through all the time/hoops in other titles. One click and you're in.
Really wish this has legs and updates that iron out the clear issues. I continue to have lots of fun and coming back to it. It´s a diamond in the rough.
Sorry for posting here like I did in the reviews thread. This game is more fun for me than the previous two. However, the graphics are very disappointing. I mean even comparing it to racing games from the beginning of this generation, it is behind.
Yes it's weird like that. Certain tracks, certain lighting conditions, certain cars - it can come together and look good. And other times looks terrible. Though performance is more important to me.
I find racing models on traditional racing circuits often look the best, and perform the best.
Yeah the graphics need some work but I have to say I'm really enjoying the racing and handling. I think this is a great racing game actually and I've played just about everything since the mid 1980's.
It's a few patches away from being, dare I say, one of the best racing games I've ever played. Time will tell.
I actually really like that. It breaks up the game a lot and makes it a lot more interesting than "just" winning.
Yeah I agree with the credits being too few. I have been selling a few cars to get enough credit to trade up even after completing a tier. It needs looked at.
What I've also found is that if you set up a custom event and win you get credits rewarded but if you play the exact same setup, track and car again, you get nothing.
I would have thought you should get credits after every event but last night I ran two custom events at Monaco with the sames car and only got credits after the first race that I won.

Maybe you're right yeah.
Last night was the first time I had a go at setting up custom events so not even sure if you get credit for winning them.
This was something that confused me. But I noticed when I levelled up I got some credits.
They could vastly open up the game and career by always giving credits for custom events. That's how other games usually work.
you do get credits from doing custom events. In fact, you get credits for doing just about any activity in game. The caveat is, the credits come from any activity which has given enough XP to move you up to the next "tick" on the way up to the next driver level
Xp and currency are two separate things in this game. It just so happens that hitting certain xp milestones rewards currency.
I love the driving in this game but the visuals and performance. My gosh. Tearing everywhere and shimmering! Frame drops and visual glitches galore! Will wait a bit for a patch to see if that helps.
Also really love the driving in this game but a patch is desperately needed. The amount of times I have had to restart an event in the career mode because the game has decided to reset the difficulty to easy.
Yeah I've noticed this more than once. You almost have to check every setting before each race as the game randomly resets your preferences. I'm loving the gameplay but I also agree that this game seriously needs fixing in quite a few areas.
I still think that it's got big protential though and a couple of patches could make it brilliant.
Never have I wanted a patch so badly for a game, because I'm having a great time despite many constant issues and awful performance. As someone said, it's a few patches away from being truly great and not just a diamond in the rough.
I even asked SMS on Twitter for news about a patch, they answered it's on the way.

SMS' marketing team is just... wow.
Reminds me of "Buy a 360 if you don't have internet".
With the amount of bullshit they cop over "wah this franchise doesn't have features I like anymore why don't you add them back in?" tweets, I don't blame them. It's not constructive feedback and it's no wonder their CM is fed up with it.
Pretty smooth on the pro now. Still super rough on the One though.
Yeah, this version of PCARS is absolutely not what I want and I am not going to buy it, but constantly harassing them online about it is just a dick move.
Yes pure garbage on my X. I should have waited for reviews. Frame pacing makes it unplayable for me.
That's really too bad. Hopefully they'll patch it with the GT4 DLC coming soon. Rumor is end of this month.
I just want a FOV slider at this point. I have to admit, I LOVE watching the races and sessions on fb and then re-playing them in the game. Go Vanthoor, go! It's exactly what I've wanted for a motorsports sim.
That sucks. It is ridiculous.
Milestone did a darn good job optimizing the engine for MotoGP. The first year they switched to Unreal was pretty rough, the motion blur was a mess and the wheels never touched the tarmac. Took them 3 iterations though.
Wonder if we'll see this upscaled for the next gen consoles?
Glad I'm not alone in thinking that, and that it doesn't matter whether you like the direction or not.
Yes it's annoying that PC and PS4 have had patches but still nothing on Xbox.
Oh right, I didn't realise a patch was pushed out for PS4/PC. The xbox version really needs something soon.
Should have maybe bought the PS4 version, but was thinking ahead to probably getting a Series X first and playing PC3 on that.
At least I hope that on my Series X it should automatically play at 4K/60 without problem. But the visuals still need some tidying up.
Yeah 4K/60 will be sweet but I agree with you the visuals are hit and miss. At the moment I'm playing on a basic launch xbone which doesn't help matters much...lol.
So how are the graphics on Pro after the patches? Is the screen tearing gone?
Haven't played it lots over the last week due to picking up WRC9 and mostly playing that.
Am really looking forward to seeing how PC3 works on Xbox Series X. I'm assuming resolution mode will run at 60fps with no tearing. Be great if we got an update to let it run at full 4K.
A buddy of mine that works at Codemasters sent me his staff code for the Deluxe edition. So I'm giving it a go.
So far it seems pretty good. The handling model is really nice on a controller, and the cars have good weight and personality to them.
The menus are perhaps a little bloated but I like that the game feels quite rewarding. Each event has objectives to complete and there's a good variety of events outside of just racing. It never keeps you doing the same thing for too long.
Visually the game is fine to look at. It doesn't have much spectacle to it, but it looks fine. I think the problem here comes from the fact that this series was focused on simulation, where I think graphical compromises are perfectly acceptable for the sake of achieving things like realistic physics, but arcade racers tend to be more focused on spectacle, which is missing here because of the series history as a sim racer. They'd probably need to refocus the engine to get it looking like it should.
But in terms of the driving experience, I think it's really a great game. The cars feel really intuitive to drive but at the same time, grounded and realistic enough that the model is believable. For more casual players that just want the experience of what they imagine driving a race car is like, I think this offers a really good time. For me, the handling model is more fun to play with than Forza Horizon, Driveclub or Codemasters own GRID series.
AI offers a good race too. I upped the difficulty to hard from the outset and it feels good. The opposing AI always give me a good race, it's a battle to get up into top 3 and then a challenge to contend those positions. I really like that as I think most racing games really suffer in that department. It often feels like I'm either first or last, and that events are either too easy, or too hard. In Gran Turismo Sport I can't get a good race against the AI without deliberately handicapping myself.
Overall pretty good, just would be nice if it looked the part too. If it felt like this and looked like Driveclub it could be my favourite racing game of recent years.
