PC3 Project CARS 3 Released

Paul Jeffrey · Aug 28, 2020

Slightly delayed news about a Slightly Mad Studios product - Project CARS 3 is now available to the general public having released on console and PC Thursday 27th August.

PCARS 3 available on Xbox, PS4 and PC.
Over 200 cars and 120 tracks available.

At long last, following a brief early access period for people who pre-ordered the title, Project CARS 3 has finally released to the wider world - hitting real and virtual stores yesterday (Thursday 27th August) for both console and PC versions of the title.

Representing something of a departure from the original Project CARS franchise, the third instalment of the series places a greater focus on the customisation of both the car and game experience - moving away from the more simulation roots of the original games.

With a loyal fanbase of the original games having mixed feelings about the new direction on the build up to release, it will be very interesting indeed to see how well received the new title is over the coming days and weeks.

Personally I cannot speak, as I don't have the game, but from gameplays on YT the game looks a bad representation of FH4...

This should be a good thread to follow lol

Apparently if you order a hard copy SMS personally deliver it in one of these

Played for 30 min, refunded. Not sure what mr Bell meant when he said "simulation" in the same sentence as arkade but I could not find any of simulation kind in that title

I LOVE Project Cars, I always did. I keep it locked in my heart, and will never release. It should never be released.

it's more likely Need for Speed Shift 3 with a flavour of Drive Club...

I enjoyed PC2, but after watching a couple of YT reviews I won‘t even buy PC3 when It is on sale.

HoiHman · Aug 28, 2020

PC3 - Project cars 3 I played it and heres what i think..

Well I have been giving this a go for a day now. And I want to like it ,I really do but.......Slighty mad are making it very hard for me. The graphics whilst ok are just that, even when everything is on highest level.. so no reward there then! The Car's are mostly from PC2 and just lifted...

Not a sim, not at all. I thought I could like it nevertheless, but no, not really. Will probably refund it tomorrow...

aphidgod · Aug 28, 2020

I hate to say "I told you so" but... actually, you know what? I love to say "I told you so."

CC · Aug 28, 2020

Yeah they won’t be getting my money this time I fell for it twice before.

CC · Aug 28, 2020

There trying to make a mockery of our kind nature, was a community backed franchise project cars left both games previously full of bugs and now turned the 3rd game into a circus after selling out to codies, worst back community game I ever saw.

this review is just sarcasm throughout, it gets annoying. yeah, Ian Bell is lying, what else is new?

and no one can expect that SMS will adress anything that is game changing again like opening up the pits again etc. So just go and get yourself a key for PC2 and have fun. that is depending on classes, actually a fun experience.

May God have mercy on their souls

JimLee · Aug 28, 2020

Suffered for 60 min, before refund. Not sure what it is ,certainly not sim, doesn't even seem like an arcade. Only slight resemblance to PC-PC2 in graphics and muted at that. Maybe it is just a big "Loot Box". So Saaaaddddd

P.S. Is this just an expensive livery editor in masquerade?????

Should watched the YT reviews first and saved my self some time and frustration.

GP20 · Aug 28, 2020

It's a good game. FFB is superior on many aspect's to PC2's FFB and graphics are better than Pcars 2. I will make a video.

What a bunch of lies on internet just unbelievable.

If you ask for a refund for PC3 ask for a refund for PC2 in the same time.

What is sure is that many youtubers had an agenda and "my honest" is in fact "my most dishonest review".

As I said, we all waiting forward a miracle to happen, it ain't happen, they just wanna our money.

So if you are new with simracing or arcade so then why not, but if you already have 5-10 different good simulator so you do not need this one, believe me.

My opinion:
The best racing simulator released 14 years ago and it is named GTR2, created by Simbim. After that nothing happened, only better graphics engine added for newer games (eye candy).

I recommend all you HC drivers please forget these new games (and you do), we do not need any more if they do not create a real HC sim like GPL that blows our mind (like GTR2 then 14 years ago). What comes to physics there's nothing to do better than GTR2 was / still is but of course it is possible to expand some features like more / different setups and different race car classes, tracks etc. but it is so good already.

So Just drive and enjoy what you already have. This genre is full of these games, when GTR2 released there was only 1 real competitor, Rfactor1.

If you like AC so it is also good, but you do not need ACC if you already have AC etc. I have first Project Cars game (PC1) and it's also my last Project Cars also. I won't buy this new one even that I also had a few weak moments when I thought I must have it. Maybe I can try it when the price is 5 euros or less...maybe. That's it.
