I didn't say false marketing, i wrote false advertising. If you want to play the
show me the examples game beware that there is four years of content on the web from official sources. This is the catch I fell for (bought two copies because of it, run
daily club events and
announced a league that is not going to happen because of the ongoing issues.):
Thanks to a partnership with the Automobile Club de l’Ouest, Project CARS will be the first racing game to properly simulate all the aspects that make the Le Mans 24 Hours one of the most challenging racing events in the world, allowing players to run the event in real-time, facing a full grid of 55 opponents on track. (we brought the press release
here)
As you know my background was in
real-time gaming and PCARS doesn't offer anything real-time other than real-time weather.
Properly simulate ALL the aspects of Le Mans 24 Hours? The most important aspect of this race of races is that you drive one car for 24 hours with a team of three drivers each racing for 8 hours. Now tell me how am I going to simulate the 24H next month racing with two of my RPM teammates, when there is no working driver swap feature?
Before you are defending it again that this wasn't meant to be an online feature with driver swaps, do the 24 Hours offline then with AI? How am I going to race the 24H with a full field of 55 opponents if there isn't even a class selection allowing me to. Or do the real drivers also race the 24H only against prototypes, or a field of BAC Monos and Ford Focus RS cars?
Promised were the BMW 1999 V12 LMR prototype, 2002 Audi R8, 2014 Audi R18 e-tron quattro. Tell me, where can I select these cars?
The 24 Hours of Le Mans was brought as a massive feature for this game but apart from the amazing track and a small amount of the real cars nothing properly simulates the official 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Its false advertising and cheeky marketing at it's best.
