PC3 Project CARS 3 | Release Date Confirmed

[Paul Jeffrey]

Slightly Mad Studios have confirmed that their upcoming Project CARS 3 racing title will release on Xbox One, PS4 and PC from this August 28th - with an enviable number of cars set to form part of the default game offering.

The proposed change in direction for the third instalment of the Project CARS franchise has certainly split opinion within the sim racing community, with some disappointed about the apparent move to a more inclusive gaming experience, whilst others and intrigued to see what SMS have in store when the game finally hits the virtual shelves later this year.

Rather than confirming a massive amount of information about the title from the off, Slightly Mad Studios have rather taken a steady approach of dripping information out to the public via social media in recent weeks - and the latest bit of information we've had concerns release date - beginning this August 28th!

Furthermore, the new title is expected to come with a bumper amount of content at launch, upping the ante from the last release within the franchise as over 200 upgradeable road and race machines will be playable on 140 different circuit configurations - not bad at all!

Project CARS 3 is set to release on Xbox One, PS4 and PC August 28th 2020.

Meh. I rather have 1 car and 1 track with good physics and FFB

pick a comment:

this game is arcade
this game is for kids
ian bell is a liar

Will sell better than AMS2.

 

[ATSSHD]

Nice. Can't wait.

 

[Shincha20]

Will sell better than AMS2.

...and Lady Gaga sells more than Drudkh.
Still I know which one is musically more advanced.

 

[billyblaze13]

After all these years, Ian Bell is still a lightning rod

not sure about the lightning, but he's definitely a rod of some sort....

Don’t you have AMS2? Then get it I recommend. A display of what Evil Bald’s engine is capable of.

...and Lady Gaga sells more than Drudkh.
Still I know which one is musically more advanced.

Drudkh. advanced ? You're very young aren't you . There's been 40 years or more of that sound

 

[Deleted member 197115]

But didn't they banduras to make it sound more "national", how is that not "advanced"?

 

[Kenny Paton]

Both are satanistic malady. Not well chosen, dude!

But hopefully fun

Yeah I do + season pass too. One reason I have no interest for pCars 3. I have plenty to drive

AMS2 will probably never have as many tracks/cars as this, even after season pass DLC. But quality > quantity

Loads of cars and tracks... way way too much to hint they have cared to create meshes for
great FFB, and realistic physics for that many cars.

I wish I'm wrong but, this doesn't look much like a bettered PC 2...

I'm more and more skeptical of games that include massive amounts of cars and tracks at launch, like this upcoming PC3. Nowadays, it takes so much work to do a good simulation that I wonder how they can really do a good job on 200 cars and 140 track layouts without cutting corners. I much prefer the ACC approach: fewer cars and fewer tracks, but it's done right.

In theory.....they have a large portion of the base and data to use from the past 2 titles which used the same engine.
ACC was a completely new engine.

As for the whole simulation game.....I see them as all games, some just feel better than others.
What I look for when a game claims to be a simulation is the tech involved.
Love it or hate it, the madness engine offers alot of tech, especially it's track tech which I feel is up there as one of the best...1 of only 2 titles to offer loose surface physics, dynamic weather/track/tire, excellent VR and overall performance.

Reiza has shown us already what's capable within the engine for car handling.

The only thing lacking imo is the audio and a developer that will support it for more than 12 months after each launch.

Hey Lady Gaga is really good.

 

[Shincha20]

Drudkh. advanced ? You're very young aren't you . There's been 40 years or more of that sound

And a hundred years of Lady “Adrenochrome” Gaga...
well, at first they didn’t use synths and midi, but yeah.

 

[gergerger]

Only one thing would make my buy it: the possibility to drive public roads in traffic.

 

[sKeno]

still waiting for the btcc renault laguna they announced for pcars1

 

[Celtic Pharaoh]

To Ian Bell,

pCars 1:
Fool me once,
Shame on you!

pCars 2:
Fool me twice,
Shame on me!

So no thanks!

 

[Blashko]

.......Waiting for GTR3.
I've been playing GTR2 for 13 years.

 

[Kurupt CDN]

To Ian Bell,

pCars 2:
Fool me once,
Shame on you!

pCars 3:
Fool me twice,
Shame on me!

So no thanks!

Uhm....if PC3 hasn't been released, how have you been fooled twice?
Did you mean pc1 & PC2?

 

[ShredatorFIN]

Reiza has shown us already what's capable within the engine for car handling.

True, but the amount of tweaking and handling quirks it has already taken during Beta/EA.... for very limited number of cars. And don't think the work is finished, for some cars.

Then, take into account the skill of Reiza with physics, coming from GSCE and AMS1 (mostly re-doing the same familiar, limited cars)... compared to Ian Bell & co trying to do 200+ cars (with handling-affecting upgrades?)

140+ track configs sounds like each will have perfectly tuned AI again
