Project CARS Start Your Engines trailer Reminiscent of GT6 Trailer

Everyone's probably been through the amazing trailer a countless times already. But did anyone notice the similarity with the Gran Turismo 6 trailer of the same name. This is probably intentional seeing as how Slightly Mad Studios believe the game will surpass existing console Sim Kings.

GT6 trailer was epic way better then PC new trailer. I would not compare the same trailer yes they both have cars in them racing but thats it.

ThrowingDigitalSheep3409d ago

One thing we can be certain of: The engines in-game will sound just like they do in the trailer, or perhaps even better in the case of Project CARS.

Moldiver3409d ago

Yeah GT does need new engine sounds.

That said even though PCars will have better visuals than Gt6. I still like that GT6 trailer more.Just the way it was put together. Better camera angles. Really dramatic sweeps a certain softness and warmth to the lighting (in the trailer). And I like that rock song in the GT6 trailer more. just feels more fitting. If Pcars went with some dubstep or something that would be cool, but I think thats forzas choice of music at the moment. but we are talking just trailers here and I think the GT6 one is more sexy.

That is in no way a reflection on Pcars gameplay, which, I hear is excellent. As a fan of forza and GT I welcome Pcars into the console sim racer realm. And even WiiU owners get it jion in. I dont even onw a WiiU and I am glad they are getting a proper sim style racer on their console. For the sake of wii owners. If Pcars is as good as forza or GT, then its a racer that can be played for years. And given the scarcity of this kind of racer on nintendo, that gives this game a clean shot at a long standing userbase, on that platform that will remain uncontested. For the rest of us, it gives us a quality, in depth sim to play in between forzas and GTs. Looking forward to picking this up. Hoping to finish up FM 5 before it comes out. I can play FH2 alongside it, but two sims at the same time is a bit much! lol too much tuning and laptimes to smash. Better to pace your self and take on one sim at a time.

so from the looks of things over the next few years for me:

FM5/FH2=current

FH2/Pcars for spring summer autumn. Should have finished FH2 by then and closing up single player PCars, modes.

FM6=fall 2015.along with FH2 and Pcars multiplayers Will keep me occupied till GT7. Probably pick up DC along the way, again too. I know its improved since I returned it, so maybe its worth a revisit...

Comparing the New Grand Valley in Gran Turismo 7 to the Original

A detailed look at Gran Turismo 7's new track Grand Valley, judging its evolution from its former design and layout in Gran Turismo 6, side by side.

SullysCigar456d ago (Edited 456d ago )

Wow, crazy isn't it? The draw distance is vastly improved, the background textures too and there's ZERO shimmer now. And the replays are night and day!

EIDT: @below, Haha I didn't notice that!

IRetrouk456d ago

Yeah, theres a massive improvment all round, Looks amazing with the time of day transitions too, me and a couple online buddies jumped on earlier to try it out lol, did you notice the beach full of seals?

closed_account456d ago

That coastline looks amazing and I can only imagine it in VR! Looks like an entirely new course as far as scenery goes.

IRetrouk456d ago

Yeah, those views are going to be crazy when we are "there" can't wait!

PureBlood456d ago

Just got confirmation my PSVR2 is shipping by 24 hour courier, so I should have it tomorrow! I know nobody else cares, but I had to tell someone lol

GT7 will be my first game, as I want to test out my wheel - so excited - it's going to be awesome!

Deathdeliverer455d ago

I got my confirmation and date (22nd) showing for the charging station. The headset itself has been in “shipped-processing” status since last Friday. I’m like dang can I see the date? I was in the first round of preorders. Whenever it does get here, I’m ready. Going to go update everything and try to get over this cold.

PureBlood455d ago

Wish you better, bud, fingers crossed for your order too.

@S2Killinit - Thank you!

IRetrouk455d ago

I care👊🏻, mine is still saying prep for shipping😔

PureBlood455d ago

Thanks man 👊

Word of advice: be ready for the impromptu jig that happens when that email drops, it can be embarrassing..

DaReapa455d ago

Just got my second shipping confirmation email as well.

S2Killinit456d ago

Man i caant wait. One day left!

Flawlessmic455d ago

I know you and a lot of people are excited for VR but dont sleep on sophy, sophy is the real game changer here!

After giving sophy a run last night, i can safely say the actual racing in future GT's is going to be Fu***** amazing!!!

even on intermediate on some tracks the AI was coming back at me on my waiting for me to slip, attacking the space if i left the door open for them, honestly felt like i was racing against people and not some very limited AI that once i passed them they may as well have been eliminated from the race like GT ai normally is.

pump it up to expert and its a real challenge to stay ahead, the next level up from expert man the AI kicked my ass, like badly.

i remember when sophy was first annouced all the nay sayers said its a pipe dream and we will never see it implemented and here we are a yr later and sophy is being tested in game for us to try out and is every good as whats been promised.

VR plus racing against sophy and wowww your not gonna feal like your actually racing for real anywhere else outside of gt.

sophy will change the game in gt8

S2Killinit455d ago

Hm I didnt realize it was like that. I didnt even know why there was so much hype about it. But thanknyou for explaining that. I mean I get it now.

But I’ll be seeing it in action tomorrow! Woot woot.

Flawlessmic455d ago

It's only for a limited time and only has 4 races but I encourage you and everyone else try it and see the difference compared to the normal Ai.

Sophy has slipped completely under the radar in this latest uodate

Why did EA Kill Project CARS?

This video explains why we think Electronic Arts didn't see a future in the sim racing title Project CARS and promptly cancelled the fourth instalment.

Jin_Sakai557d ago

After the last installment I’d say most hardcore fans left. It’s just not that good anymore so I can’t really blame EA this time.

masterfox557d ago

because it was always a project and it never got finished :D

ChubbyBlade555d ago

Every game is a project. Your joke doesn’t make sense

InUrFoxHole555d ago

It makes perfect sense. It's obviously a play on the title. Jesus christ you must be a blast at parties.

ApocalypseShadow556d ago (Edited 556d ago )

Ask Bullfrog or Black Box or Tiburon or Studio 33 or Criterion or any of the previously acquired developers who made racing games as competition, or as developers of EA games, then eventually dissolved into oblivion or reassigned. Just ask them. They'll tell you why.

ApocalypseShadow555d ago

Oh. I forgot. Even Code Masters were absorbed into Criterion. Another racing developer EA took over.

Every racing developer either absorbed by EA or eventually destroyed by them. They either kill competition or have them in the end make Need 4 Speed for them.

MadLad555d ago

EA only cancels projects for one reason.
They didn't see enough money in it.

Kombatologist555d ago (Edited 555d ago )

Not when it's because it didn't meet some crazy margin. It's like if something doesn't make EA a billion dollars on day one (I'm exaggerating that figure of course), they swiftly put it out to pasture.

SurgicalMenace555d ago (Edited 555d ago )

Much like if you're spending money on what's a bad investment for your desired goals, you'd do away with it, if you're wise. We should try to get away from thinking we know more about business than individuals that have been doing it for decades. Perhaps you could benefit from going into business instead of wasting all of your talents in comment sections. It's clear that you're the missing piece that EA's been looking for.

MadLad554d ago

I've made a good amount of money betting on underdog investments over the years.

EA sets unrealistic expectations of their more niche developers, yet continue to fund absolute blunders like DICE and the Battlefield series year after year.

dumahim555d ago

EA butted in and messed with the formula and act shocked when it doesn't work out.

Original Project CARS creator trying to re-hire EA team

Ian Bell, the founder of Slightly Mad Studios, is aiming to hire former Project CARS employees to work on his upcoming GTR Revival project.

Sgt_Slaughter559d ago

If it's just going to be another sim-cade that doesn't do either one correctly then no thanks.

Project CARS 2 was a step in the right direction but the physics still aren't where they should have been, so what did they do for PC3? Go completely arcade. That killed the franchise.
