The graphics are next level, and the attention to detail is impeccable. One thing the developers have definitely got right, however, is how the Project CARS 2 looks. However, once you find it, you'll be glad you did - whether you're a new or a veteran.īeautiful, Dynamic Tracks Create New Strategies The menu to tune these aspects of your car isn't immediately visible, but instead nestled inside a few other menus within the game.
Essentially, you are asked a series of questions to ascertain what you need help with (such as if your car isn't accelerating faster enough or doesn't take turns sharp enough) and the game tunes your car accordingly.Īnd although you won't have some of the customization options found in other racing games, such as adding nitrous to your speedster or turning one car class into another, you will be able to fine-tune your tires (which you have to make sure are the right type for a specific track's race conditions, such as rain or heat), gear ratios, and suspension, for example. It's somewhat hidden and a bit difficult to find, but once you do stumble across it, the feature helps you tune your car without you having to know the specific ins and outs of braking or drifting, for example. There's a lot to tweak - and the options can be overwhelming - but new players are in for a bit of luck as the developers have included a handy feature called Race Engineer. I can see how this amount of granular tuning would be great for someone who has played games like this before or knows what they are doing in real life (or have gained a lot of that knowledge from watching races all their lives) but it isn't wholly accessible to non-drivers or first-time players. I don't know exactly how a car would race and handle in certain circumstances or different weather conditions. And this immediately puts me at a disadvantage.
Thing is, not everyone who likes these kinds of games actually drives on a pro level. You really need to come at the game from a driver's point of view. In a recent interview with Slightly Mad Studios, COO Rod Chong makes a point of saying that the game is accessible to newcomers to the genre - but I'm not entirely convinced. It really isn't for the faint-hearted or those who just want to be able to race and win straight off the grid - which sometimes is not a good thing.ĭon't get me wrong, I am a massive fan of simulators and I'm not new to racing sims, but even the level at which you need to understand all the various sliders in Project CARS 2 was beyond me.
This game is full of management options from fuel usage, tire wear, and grip, to suspension, handling settings, and more. This is a Simulation - Not a Sunday Drive It's all very involved - as simulators should be. You have to learn each car and set it up with personal variables as work your way to the top.
You can start your career in Formula Rookie cars and work your way up to Rallycross, Ind圜ar, and higher, mimicking exactly how professional racing drivers work their way up through the career ranks.
