PC1 Project CARS Screenshots

OverTake.gg · Aug 29, 2011

Slightly Mad Studios' Head of Development Ian Bell unveiled a new render of their upcoming community funded simulation game C.A.R.S.. The render is showing a Le Mans Protoype Audi R18 TDI in a fictional livery.

Although the idea of Community Assisted Race Sim sounds very innovative and spectacular there are still a lot of questions unanswered. We hope to have more insights on this upcoming simulation soon.

In the meantime enjoy some other screenshots on the forum.

Would you be interested in funding a developer and in exchange have your say in the development process of the product. Or is it just a tactic to get a studio funded that lacks a publisher/investor?

What weather, time of day, and hdr settings are you using? The lighting makes a big difference. It's really easy to make things realistic with overcast weather in almost any game. See gta4 for example:

The game looks good, both from a resolution POV an also from a 3D modelling POV, for example, some of GTR cars/mods have half decent 3D modeling{external view in replay}, though many cockpits are lacking resolution, but pcars DTM cockpit whilst still darker than I'd like, looks next gen without question.

Haven't messed with weather at all. I'll look into those settings tonight.

The new rain spray effects have been added!

A bit of casual fun at Le Mans (Bugatti)......

Image simply taken from in car view with replay paused - basically the view I had on my screen.

All good shots again darkdeus but that last one is a real stormer.

Some shots of the Nascar 88 mods....

Cars has incorporated some damage to walls and concrete for big crashes, note the cracks in the tarmac when you come down on it hard and the wall rubs, might be old hat, but hey Im new and just noticed it. Nice touch and love that fuggin undercarriage!!!

This are the best modelled upside-down cars I've ever seen, usually you find no detail at all there.

Because you are not supposed to be upside down

Xosé Estrada · Aug 29, 2012

No? I use to

That's probably what I'm doing wrong in Richard Burns Rally.
Hey, at least it's a good way to meet the spectators, as they roll you back on the road

I would expect people to be upside down in RBR. That sim is brutally hard to drive fasf and one mistake means instant pain.

Justin Lines · Aug 29, 2012

I cant help but feel somewhat cheated that I never bought or had the chance to buy RBR, from what I have read over the years and seen it seems the best Rally Sim to date yes ?

I know its just usually a black coat at the bottom

It's by far the best rally sim. Or the only even.

You can still get it, I got mine for around 5€ off eBay, brand new, in a box.
Anyway, we're still using it here, club rallies every Monday/Tuesday, and even a Rally Championship

Gone too far off topic now, sorry. -> http://www.racedepartment.com/forum/forums/richard-burns-rally.137/

FWIW, I too was impressed by the detailed underside when I first saw the image.

Rupe Wilson · Aug 29, 2012

I would say RBR is a sim that every body should own even if you dont like rallying...
As Senad has stated so many times ( and correctly so) nothing comes close even now...

But back on topic... these pictures as just so good....

And like many others i cant wait for it release...

Agreed. I was trying these Nascar beauties last night and they are very well detailed. I am liking them.

And I can vouch for RBR still being the best rally race sim ever made. The physics in that are so fantastic. Just love it. But it is hard to master.

My internet was down yesterday and I was forced to do something else than playing rF2 or pCARS so I ended up playing RBR for the first time in over a year ... that game rocks! It's so brutally hard without beeing unfair. If you make a misstake then it is on you only, not some wonky physics or any cheating AI. Love it!
