Project Cars 2 might already be in the planning phase

Ian Bell, head of Slightly Mad Studios, has been chatting on the World of Mass Development forums... about Project Cars 2, it seems.

Well that's how they make the call of duty series,as soon as one is done it's on to the next. Obviously there being two studios That make cods helps but I think this is the future of gaming. It's great from a consumer point of view. Plus if project cars is gonna roll with the other big racing simulators then they need to be regularly released. Happy days I say.

Actually CoD has three games in development at any given time (used to be two), so no that's now how they make the CoD series, it is however how the vast majority of other game series' are made.

We'll see what the first one is like when it ships, but I've got a bad feeling about this whole thing.

tfbilyeu3313d ago

Just because they may be working on a 2nd title does not mean its a bad thing. Now I could see if the did like A.C. it might get a little repetitive. but hopefully they are just getting started!
I am Glad to hear that Project Cars will have a Sequel

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.

MadLad556d 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.

dumahim556d 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.
