PC2 Project CARS 2 Developer Live Stream: Plenty of New Game Footage

[Paul Jeffrey]

Check out this substantial live stream and developer Q&A featuring Project CARS 2.

Aired just yesterday, the 90 + minute live stream from Project CARS 2 gives us a nice opportunity to see plenty of in game footage from the new simulation, with play time on both a dedicated racing wheel and gamepad undertaken by Game Director, Stephen Viljoen.

Intended as a first release of a series of 'Developer Live Stream' features, Viljoen and Slightly Mad Studios have focussed plenty of attention on arguably the most often discussed and speculated element of the new game - handling.

With the original Project CARS title coming in for much criticism at the time, SMS have made plenty of noise in recent months about the amount of effort and consideration that has gone into improving the "out of the box" experience for both wheel and gamepad users, practically redesigning the way the game interacts with different controllers in comparison to the original title.

Running in at just over an hour and a half, the new video has plenty of gameplay action to enjoy whilst the guys run through some important discussion around the handling, take some questions from the viewers and generally give players a feel for what the game could be like come release next month,

Just over one month to go, then we get to find out all about it for ourselves. Exciting times ahead...

Project CARS 2 will be available for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC 22nd September 2017.

Check out the Project CARS 2 sub forum here at RaceDepartment to catch up with the latest news, engage in lively discussions with the community and find out all you need to know about the simulation prior to release in September.

I bought Shift 1, Shift 2, Pcars 1 and they were all terrible to race. So based on these historic failure events im a bit biased about Pcars 2. Just a tiny bit. But...im still hoping...just a tiny bit

I bought Shift 1 & 2. I never went into those thinking they were similar or a replacement for the racing titles that were out at the same time (rF, iRacing, GTR Revolution, etc). However, they were good for what they were... I will say, I had some fun racing with the "same class" races in Shift 2. It's too bad those were the pre-release bonus content as that was some of the best racing that title had.

Also, a little fun fact that the physics developer for the Shift series is the same one from Richard Burns Rally.

Why is it always Pcar threads that get out of hand? Having enough of cleaning up these kind of threads so a little lock it is.

If this childish debate between a few of you spill over to other threads or areas on this site consider this your first and final warning.
