Anyone else playing Project Cars 2 and what are your thoughts.
Enjoying it the more I play. It feels so much more rewarding than the first Project Cars.
Nice UI this time around. Love how simular the whole feel and the audio is to Need For Speed Shift.
Not as pretty as Forza Motorsport 7 but atill a beautiful game.

Do you play with steering wheel and whatnot? Never ever gotten into racing sims and whatnot but if its cool I might be interested in doing a setup
 
Got it yesterday. 35GB download. I only tried the F1 cars but the handling is strange. The car wants to rotate on corner exit even at high speed. Changing the setup eg, castor angles, roll bars etc doesn't help. I haven't tried any of the other cars yet.

The default force feedback needs to be adjusted to get the wheel to be weighted properly and to improve turn-in and apex placement. Besides the strange handling, graphics is good but a bit cartoony (default settings). I'll give it a better go tomorrow once I've figured out the handling issue and setup the graphics. Project Cars 1 was better out of the box but I'm sure there'll be plenty of updates coming.
 
Much better than Pcars 1 but it's still lacking big time. I played it at a friends and Im glad I did before pulling the trigger.
The force feedback is still kak and the physics are far from realistic.

AC is still miles ahead.
 
Definitely on my get list...but that co-incidental timing with Forza Motorsport 7 is unfortunate. If it would have come out 3 months before, or 3 months after I would have immediately gotten it, but now it will have to wait.
 
Sims are a bit boring even Forza 7, I want the next Forza Horizon!

I like racing sims, but will agree with you. More of an arcade racing fan. The Forza Horizon series is amazing. I play Horizon 3 regularly. Impatiently waiting for NFS Payback.
We will probably get a new Horizon game in 2018/2019.
 
I've played a number of hours now, and it just keeps getting better. It's a lot more tuned than PCars 1.

I'm playing with a DFGT wheel & seat.
You just need to setup properly and bob's your uncle.
There is nothing wrong with this game.
It's not worse than AC or Forza, stop hating.
It's not always the car, sometimes it's the driver.

I just want an urban arcade racer again though. Screw cops. I want to jump rooftops and trains ala Underground 1. I want to race an Enzo through an alley dodging trash cans and over a rooftop jump with the handling model of Juiced2 HIN.
No funny tuner theme, just a mix of imports, exotics and classics on tracks that are there for fun and not for realism.
I want to race through a Gorilla headed jungle tunnel, peaking through the top of the damn roof if I'm going fast enough. I want to race through an aquarium. Damnit, bring the fun back, not the cops. I want to race past hollywood sets and a weird futuristic version of the city. I want to be able to do this in a T-Rex prop after entering a funny code.
Not even Horizon delivers on any of that, although the Hotwheels thing was much cooler than I gave it credit for.

...damn I miss NFS2-SE.

Actually considering getting Crew 2 just cuz I saw a rooftop jump....

Damnit Kotick! give me back Bizarre! They woulda done this eventually.

If Crew 2 can deliver then we Horizon fans will surely support it. The Crew 1 trailers showed a lot of promise but the disappointment was just too much. Your concept sounds fun, I still don't understand why the NFS franchise feels that cops are so cool, cause they do ruin the experience.
 
Can one modify cars here. I really dont like pre modified cars.

No. One can tune, but you won't be swapping engine parts and spoilers and rims. Both full manual tunings and "suggestive tuning" (the game asks you what you have a problem with and applies a generic tune one would usually mess with to improve it.

Are you serious? Even with a DFGT you should be able to tell there's a huge difference between the 2 in terms of physics and FFB

Yes, serious I am. As I said, you still need to setup a lot.
You can however get a very accurate feel and response like you'd expect.

Agreed. However, explain why the F1 car has massive rotation on corner exit? I've won 2 iRacing Grand Prix Series championships in the Williams FW 31 and won several races in the iRacing McLaren MP4-30. Those cars as well as the ones in Assetto Corsa, RFactor 2 and Project Cars 1 don't do this. I have extensive setup knowledge on single seaters and all the usual changes made no difference. I've read reports on various forums that Project Cars 2 has issues with physics. However, I'm confident that they'll resolve the issue/s as more updates get released.

Don't forget Midnight Club man. That was the shit
 
So I got the HTC Vive last week, and played a full 8 hours this past Sunday. The experience is incredible. I am hoping to get in touch with SMS to improve a bit on the VR as a lot can still be changed, but overall I think it was the right decision. I will not be going back to playing PC 2 on a normal screen.
 
So I used to play pcars 2 with controller and finally decided to get myself a wheel (DFGT) any tips on how to setup wheel settings for best experience?
