If anyone wondering this game died as Pcars3 came out don’t worry a lot of peeps still plays it as it’s way better than that new arcade BS. And it has a variety of cars from road to rally cross
@@OCRacing I didnt like its ffb and the car behavior felt less detailed. Was ok with controller but couldnt hardly wait to try with a wheel, turned out to be dissapointing compared to pc2, ac. Look great though
On console, GT Sport kicks PCars2 to the curb. Everything is just so polished on it. But PCars2 has absolute flexibility in picking any car, any track, and time (day or night) and any weather. That's a huge tick. It also allows you to fill the rest of the grid out with AI when you play online with friends, so even if there's only the two of you, the grid can still be filled up. That's a big tick. The inclusion of classic versions of tracks is brilliant. Classic Spa comes with the base game, while classic Le Mans is paid DLC. The range of cars is also very good, with Group 5 vehicles a brilliant addition along with the classic Lotus F1 cars. Some great cars like classic Porsches and the Group A R32 GT-R are behind paid DLC, which is a shame. The highs are sadly let down by big deficiencies. You don't have confidence in the predictabilty of how each car will handle, whether that be braking feel, traction or turn in grip. Without that confidence, the whole point of a driving game goes out the window. AC and GT Sport are peerless in this regard. The track models in PCars2 are patchy, too. Bathurst is dreadful and does not replicate the sheer steepness and narrowness of the track. Similarly, the climb to turn 2 at the Red Bull Ring is too flat. Faults like this are disappointing. As a console user, if you can pick up PCars2 second hand on disc cheaply, it's worth a look. If you enjoy it, buy the DLC. But it's NOT worth full price in 2021. The video is absolutely right.
Gran Turismo could learn so much from pc2. I played this game so much compared to gt sport, due to the career. Loved signing a contract, racing the calendar and have to qualify for your starting postition. Having damage and the weather changes makes it even better.
Loving these videos on specific sim games, it can be hard to find recent info on them outside of forums/reddit posts which sometimes only shows the issues people have and not how it stands up overall this long after release. Would love to see more on games like RFactor 2, Forza's, Gran Turismo's, etc. Even just as a video hitting them all back to back would be good.
I have been playing sims on PC for years and the 1st PCARS was my favourite single player sim out there - mainly due to its career. I love how you sign a contract and you race around a calendar. I switched to PS5 recently and picked PCARS 2 and it is still my favourite sim, this time on console. Great game with great content. I still love the singe player career but I also started doing some organised league multiplayer races and it is amazing
PC2 was my 1st driving game after GT Sport on PS4. Love the increased sim-ness of it. Not played in a while as I do GT Sport for racing and ACC for driving. PC2 feels like it's somewhere in the middle. Still was worth the £22 I spent on it (£11 for disc and then another £11 for the Deluxe edition on digital download. Deluxe Edition currently showing as £70 on PS4, definitely worth waiting for the sales. Before ACC released the British DLC for PS4 I used PC2 to drive Oulton Park in preparation.
PC2 is my favorite simulator, and yes I say simulator because it is a simulator. If you turn off all the assists and help tools it becomes a real experience without a doubt. The content is awesome and graphics are still at their best so I would recommend Project Cars 2 to absolutely anyone who loves racing.
Making it more "difficult" by turning off all the assists doesn't make it a sim. A sim is where the component are based on real datas, not just a bit. For me ProjectCars always been a mix between arcade and simulation.
@@SnaxDesAvions Project Cars is the only sim to use actual OEM data in car setups by default. It also has a full soft body tire carcass simulation which also takes into account grooves for wet weather driving, and as the brake rotors heat up they dissipate heat into the wheel rim which effects tire temps. Which of course is affected by how open the brake ducts are. Not to mention it's ridiculous transmission and differential simulation. What components does it not use real data for?
Bought it last year and currently have 890+ hours of playtime with it, yes it's good. Just get the FFB mods and bam! you're good to go. PC2 and ACC are my default games for sim-racing now (because i love GT3 cars) while AC become my favorite photography simulator now lol.
It's fun to dip into, esp with new FFB files. Great value for money when on sale, and a nice companion to also dirt cheap AC. Not a sim to be taken as seriously as others but still has better content and graphics than AMS2. Some track and car combos are plenty of fun. The LMP3/LMP900S are impressive.
Why should it not be taken seriously? It has a huge range of cars and tracks for now a knock down price, and as to seriousness, at least half of those cars drive as well as many other sims, and some better. THE Force feedback issues have been solved years ago if you can be bothered to download the many fixes. Graphically it is still miles ahead of others. The curbs are a bit of a problem but these are not a deal breaker. It's a fabulous racing sim. It gives many hours of pure pleasure and that cannot be said of rfactor and iracing which are either a pain to set up or are outrageously expensive.
@@fingerhorn4 Everyone always says it's not "simmy" enough, but never has an actual reason. Sure, PC1 wasn't great, but PC2 is way better and has way more features and smaller details than pretty much any other game. With the custom FFB files the physics actually become presented a lot more clearly and it's actually really good to the point where you can feel the difference in very small setup changes. Also, just as a super cool thing, the default setups aren't total shit, the race engineer helps newcomers make custom setups, and road cars have actual OEM setups available instead of the usual middle of the given range setup most sims have.
AMS2 has given me so much more enjoyment in the brief time I've owned it then multiple years of not playing PCars2 because it just doesn't feel like driving a car. Way too arcade like in it's physics/handling characteristics for me.
I think as a simulator on Ps4 it is still the best. as mentioned the variety of cars is great and the same for the tracks. I still play regularly mostly in free practice mode with a mix of assorted cars to simulate an uncompromising track day.
PC1 was the first game from this golden age of racing games I tried and I absolutely loved it. So, when PC2 came out I bought it on launch day and was not disappointed. It corrected most of the issues of PC1 and had way more content of the same high quality. I still play it today, even though I own many other more modern racing games. Although I enjoy PC3, I think PC2 is better and definitely worth your time if you like sim-style racing games.
For PC users: Reiza studios got the license of Madness Engine and enhanced it, creating their new game, Automobilista 2 It's actually project cars 2.5, with improved ai, realtime weather and so on
@@tyoyusuf8501 yes, they got license from rf1 directly from ISI, but for their PREVIOUS game, Automobilista. That's Automobilista 2, licensed from Slightly Mad Studios to use and enhance the Madness Engine. Now, they reach v1.3, and fiz every physics flaw that Project Cars 2 has
I went back to it a couple of days ago- its fun on controller but the main reason I like it is because of all the options when it comes down to tracks, cars and weather!
Definitely worth it.. Still some great content in there. Still some shocking cars physics/ffb wise but theres is plenty that is good enough and really great immersion.
I play with the Quest 2, and this is the most immersive game I've played. Better than ACC, everything. Although I am waiting for the F1 series to support VR.
ACC is crushingly boring - it's not called a dad sim for nothing. Its whole premise is to drive undramatically lap after lap after lap. Only the GT4s are its minor redeeming feature... and even then.
I play with controller and I finally got the controller settings to a point where it’s possible to drive good consistently. F1 2020 and project cars 2 definitely top 2 favorite racing games
The track and weather variety make this seem very enticing. I’m currently mostly an Assetto Corsa guy because I like the tweaking and experimenting, but the quality and quantity of tracks is honestly pretty sparse. The mods can be hit or miss. Project Cars seems to be a more user friendly and chill experience, sort of in line with Gran Turismo.
I fired it up 2 weeks ago and really had fun. The games shows its age here and there, but generally, there is still a lot of fun driving on the vast selection of tracks.
Easily one of the most immersive games in VR in my opinion. I personally get better performance on my VR headset on PC2 compared to other sims. Yeah maybe not the best for handling characteristics and other things but I think for $20 the visuals and performance and variety it has is what does it for me. Great video Brother!
i got this game for almost no money and it was the best decision i ever made when it came to gaming, it pushed me to get a wheel and i start sim racing
The funny thing is people talk about it not being "simmy" enough, but A. They're wrong, and B. They never explain why when PC2 simulates more and does a better job at simulating than many of the "hardcore sims" including RF2 and AC. You can fix the broken real weather system using a 3rd party app thing tied to a new weather API to feed into the game. I used it to race at Road America in the snow on Christmas, it was pretty cool. The game also changes the environment and foliage based on season. The FFB is a lot better with custom profiles. Popsracer and Christiaan are both really good and add in missing effects which make it feel a lot more natural. Good luck to console players though. Gonna have to give a hard disagree on the game not being worth it, it still has a lot of features newer games don't, and just the volume of content available across more than just a single class division give it a lot of value.
I’ve been playing PC2 nonstop for the past couple of days, the game is really good even with a controller. Group C cars at Daytona race course is a great combo I would recommend.
I have a ps4 and I play ac, acc and pc2, and pc2 is definitely the most fun, I don’t like to play it serious like I might do on acc but more like making fun of the ai or actually just drive: the immersion is great, in an indicar you feel that the car has no powered steering while in a road car you have a lot of assists, it’s a lot of fun to just drive and feel the different cars
Multiplayer setup and interface is clean and has most of the options you'd want. It's still in the rotation a lot with my group of friends. It has a ton to offer compared to other sims even 4 yrs old. It's not perfect but it's better than most in a lot of ways that matter. Value for $$ for sure.
Best Sim Racer ever made, hands down, not even debatable. I still run PJC2 as my Primary. PJC3 was an insult, and even though I run AC, ACC, GTSport, Rfactor 1&2, Raceroom etc, not a single one of them can hold a candle to PJC2. Thumbs on on the CC though, his review is grossly inaccurate. There are no issue with the ai, and the simulation is spot on. I bought it twice at full price, PC and PS4. and would do so again with no regrets. No sim out there is as complete and some are worthy of refunding. Bottom line PJC2 is THE STANDARD, everything else including the new titles need to catch up.
Project Cars was my entry to simulation. As console user I only had project cars 2 for online racing for quite a while... Never liked GTS. I enjoyed AC but the online on the console universe was dead. Now we have ACC which is with no doubt an incredible detailed simulation. Even so I still use PC2 for casual racing on different circuits, and car classes. Driving the BMW 320 group 5 on the green hell is one of the best combinations. In my opinion the phisics feel ok when compared to ACC although you don't feel the weight transfer as much. And the force feedback doesn't seem to me to be as bad as everyone says, although it is indeed a steep or two below ACC. You just need to tweak a lot on the settings, as AC fell great right outside of the box. For me PC2 it's a must have for console users. Absolutely. Never even tried PC3...
I bought Pcars 2 as my first game when I still used a Dual Shock 4 controller on PC. Multiplayer was basically non existent. I upgraded to Assetto Corsa while still on the controller. AC was way better feeling and easier with a controller and had more content. I revisited Pcars 2 with wheel, and the FFB just felt wack. The FFB basically feels like a centering spring almost as if it has a steering damper on it. No FFB fine tuning fixed this for me. TLDR: Don't but it if you don't already have Assetto Corsa. Even if you do, I don't recommend it. Assetto Corsa is only 5 bucks for all content + free modded content.
I have a g29 and in pc2 i found some great ffb settings that allow me to feel the kerbs, feel the car slipping and a good amount of bumps. From time to time i have some clipping, but i solve this by lowering a bit the ffb intensity. With some cars i feel more, with others i feel less, but in average i have a pretty good amount of infos about the car from the wheel I prefer to sacrifice a bit the intensity of the ffb to have a more clear and consistent feeling of the car It took a lot of time for me to find these settings, but they are good imo. It's easier to go fast, to be consistent and to catch the car
As some one who plays on controller, I enjoy the game but I find myself but I always find myself coming back to the same car and track combinations. If u don’t play on a wheel some cars are hard to drive while the AI are inconsistent (for me at least) and as u said the kerbs can be a bit hit and miss, so even tho there are a wide range of cars and tracks, some rarely get used. The multiplayer has always been a bit bland but especially now as people have moved, the majority of races where gt3 cars at monza and there was always one guy who just cut the chicanes because the rules were turned off. Overall, it’s a good sim racing game on console and the race engineer is really helpful and should be added in more racing games in one way or another, but for 60 quid it’s a bit expensive and it would be better to wait for a sale
Yeah I agree. I wish i could just set the ai at a level that I don't have to change every track or car and stay consistent. I spend more time trying to find the best difficulty than racing.
PC2 is a necessary game along the way, it has many different classes of cars, a well developed career mode to guide player through a believable racing career and it's as realistic as it can get for a game with this many variety of cars, it gives us the information we need to take the next step into more focused game whether it's to turn it down a notch to an arcade sim or to a more class focused game or even step up to play in more authentic simulators. In my opinion the car setup concepts in PC2 are realistic enough that I can migrate it into another driving sim without much changes, the cars may not feel like a real one, but its concept behind it is realistic and is something we can learn from.
Review is spot on! I Jumped into this after not playing for 2yrs. = WoW i can't believe how the graphics are /were, that good, still today. After playing AC, PC2 is eye candy, then add the night racing & weather its really good. Sound FX (cars) is well done. Using a controller (yea i know) - the problem is some of the Cars setups, some are very hard to setup ie: LMP3 w/ controller ugh! Just never feel right. Also the front end in 90% of cars is numb, no feeling of the road, like ice & most have no FFB, only when braking. Hope for a new PC (#4) sim game
Ams2 is what project cars 3 should and could of been but slms were more bothered about money than making a sim as good as it could be. I still love pc 1 and 2 but if anyone reads this comment give Ams2 a go nowadays its amazing. The force feedback makes you feel so connected to the cars, especially the newer cars. Great channel mate I've subscribed 👍
I love this game myself and still play league races on it to this day, but I felt like a positive you could've mentioned is that this game is very good for people who are completely new to sim racing and want to get into it. The learning curve isn't as steep as in other games, although sweaty aliens with good setup knowledge will still have the edge of course. Some major negatives I'm surprised you didn't mention are the penalty system and the large amount of bugs the game has. The penalty system is absolutely abysmal, even penalizing you for going off track while you lost time instead of gaining time. You can also get your next lap invalidated for leaving the track in sector 2 and getting the penalty in sector 3, which is absolutely ridiculous. There are too many bugs to mention in a single comment, but this game did not receive enough developer support after its release, resulting in the game still having very obvious and easy to fix bugs like broken online lobbies and AI rolling starts crashing before you've even been given control of your vehicle. It's less buggy than the first game, but the existing bugs can still induce lots of rage lol.
The bugs are definitely the major killer. The overt twitchiness and the weird collision physics especially. That being said for a console user it's the closest thing to a sim that actually has an interesting range of cars and with that a good time can be had.
I bought the game for 10€ because i wanted a game to play with gamepad when i don't want to mount my simracing setup. And it very nice to relax and play some when you don't want to go tryhard. For me is worth
one of major good point over AMS2 is DLCs are filled with actual content that base game doesnt have. Porsche legend Ferrari Essentials Spirits of leman all of those are pretty unique dlc and you dont need spend 10$ for an nord its already good thing
Today i was looking in the PS store for a racing game and found this for 10€ (normally 60 €). After reading the comments here i am excited to play! Didnt play racing games in years and this is my first 1 after a long time. 50 minutes download to go, i cant wait 😎
I still have it on my hard drive. Full Modded AC is my all time fav but PC2 with its graphics and weather system is still to this day an always get back to drive once in a while for me.
PC2 and AMS2 are my go to for fun private multiplayer lobbies with friends. But if it is content and driving physics you are after, then give Raceroom racing experience (R3E) a try. It's a bit pricy to get all the content, but for 60-70 Euros during sales you can get a large variety of content on a proper sim with a great ranked multiplayer experience, sound and driving physics. What's the catch? it's still running an old graphical engine based on DX9, so graphics and performance are not great by any means. Still, it's my go to default racing game. I suggest you check out the free content as it acts like an unlimited demo. just don't expect to be able to join the ranked servers this way (10 euros starter pack can get you through the amateur ranked servers though).
@@OCRacing I'm with ya chief. I didn't try it for the longest time cause of this. But if you think about it, it's actually a very reasonable ask since the base game with several cars and tracks is free. Buying all content costs the same as the full price of a new game. And future content is like dlcs on other games. What I would recommend you though is to not buy it directly using steam and regular currency. Rather wait for sales and go to their website and buy VRPs (virtual currency) and then buy the game via redeeming those. There are many videos on how to do this and it does save you at least the 30% cut that steam takes out of them. I got everything for 60 Euros this way a couple of months ago and couldn't be happier! Or you know, ask for a media copy, since your channel isn't that small anymore ;)
@@MrWhitePerson Rfactor2 is way more expensive and less structured in its content. The modding scene quality is all over the place as well and it's buggy. Assetto Corsa is great and it's the game I started on. But I still like the driving feel of R3E more, plus the integrated ranked online racing is cool. As I said, only downside is the aged graphics and spotty CPU performance during collisions, even on my beefy machine.
The amazing level of immersion with the truly dynamic weather/time/seasons is what keeps me coming back. And the selection of tracks and cars…. Wanna drift around on a snow covered track with an RX car? You can. Wanna go back in time and race retro F1 cars on a historical track? You can. Wanna do an epic multi class endurance race in an LMP car at Le Mans with dynamic weather? You can! Wanna take a simple road car and chill at the Nurburgring? You sure can! I have been playing on and off since 2018 and though the game does have its flaws, like the inconsistency in cars and hit or miss ai on some tracks, everything else is just awesome. No other game captures that feeling of raw racing quite as well as PC2. The career mode has something for everyone, no gimmicks or OP cars, just a very solid realism oriented experience with full seasons and a great sense of progression. The selection of tracks is more than you’ll ever need. All the little bits of realism like manual pit stops, manual rolling starts, and the engineer talking to you through the radio really adds to the whole experience. That and the multitude of car setup things all the way down to adjusting brake ducts to reduce drag etc. The visuals might not be 4k UHD, but the color palette and lighting are so spot on! You can take any cars, on any track, in any season, any weather, any time of day, make your own custom championships or just mess around and have a massive field of go karts going around daytona. It’s all here.
I love this game! I play this game out of anything now. I still play on controller, in hopes one day to afford a wheel. The varitey of tracks/cars, dlc car content, weather, customization of your on-screen hud, ability to map your controller/wheel to whatever button(s). One detail that hooked me to this game is the ability to use your clutch. Online multiplayer, it's hard to find people to play sometimes of how the game is getting old. Overall one of the best sim-cade racing games I have ever played. There's so much customization to tweak/tune the game to how you want to play. Do not try PC3, because you will be disappointed.
Just got recommended this video figured I would take a peek. Solid Review, I bought the game in 2020 for $16.99 and that was WITH all the DLC Content. Still to this day, it’s my favorite game to hop on and enjoy some Career Mode.. Still haven’t had the chance to win the Championship in every discipline, but I’m working on it!! AI is definitely more consistent the higher you go with their skill, but I find setting up a decent Skill Strength and then fine tuning the Aggression Scale makes for some really close and clean racing, from Karts to LMP1 you can have a blast living out your dreams of having a Career as Racing Driver without ever leaving your home. Only thing I would recommend is, again, spending some time in Custom Events to nail the AI Levels and get them as close to your pace as possible. You’ll know you got it correct when they act quite similar to how you would expect a “good” Multiplayer Lobby to be. The second thing that really helped me get the most out of this game; was learning to set up the cars without the help of the Engineer. If you can consistently nail your setup and rely on the Engineer only in an “emergency situation” I find you can extract more time with less issues, because as mentioned some cars are great out of the box, others need some serious adjustment to really push hard on. Overall if you enjoy a mix of Career and the odd Multiplayer Race, this game is awesome. 10/10 would recommend again, especially when it’s On Sale! P.S: You can definitely find more than just bog standard GT3 events, all depends on what time you decide to play Multiplayer, the NA guys seem to like the GT catagories alot but if you play when the Euro boys are active there’s a lot more selection, just gotta pick the right time of day/night to hop on, best bet is joining a packed lobby tho. As starting your own, it can take a while to get some proper attention. People also seem to have a mutual understanding of Lobby Settings, what’s best and what causes major issues, so try and stick to what everyone else is doing and you can fill a lobby way faster! (If ypu decide to start your own.)
I've been playing Assetto Corsa lately coming from PC2. They both have VR but i think Assetto car physics might be better + the car customization rocks.
Used to host lobbies on this back in the day and focus on the old tracks with new cars was always popular and really fun never had an urge to go back since ACC and Iracing tho
I got this for free with a subscription thing called Xbox live which gives you 3 games per month and lets you play online on Xbox. Wont even let me pair my wheel to it. Have no clue if it’s a bug or if it’s on my side
I prefer PC1. The physics of PC2 is a soap track until in dry roads and the first version have more detail. Only on rain PC2 have more situations. Madness engine is very good. Today use in AMS2 the same of PC2 , but better
Of course this is a badass game! Same as previous version. Project cars 2 counts with a huge library of dope cars. Also the FFB on this game is superb 👌 so many ways to dial the settings to please your driving needs. Overall great game! Still relevant and fun to play. 💯 recommend this game even if played on a belt driven system.
I've raced a decent amount of sims from the last decade, Project Cars 2 is loads of fun and it looks amazing. The physics and AI are pretty sketchy sometimes though. I got Automobilista and Between PC2 and Automobilista, I would personally recommend Automobilista because it feels more grounded and the force feedback is a bit more descriptive. But if you want a game that looks great and is good for starters (even if it lacks a little in some things) I would recommend PC2.
In my opinion, yes, PC2 is still holding its own in 2022. I still play it regularly and it's the only racing game that I play exclusively in VR because it's just that good.
The game is being delisted or removed from sale in a few days!!!! BUY the DLC now! While you still can! ALL The dlc cars and tracks are amazing and worth it 100% Once it is delisted you will NEVER be able to get them again. Multiplayer servers will still be ran though because SMS said the reason they have to delist it is because of licensing agreements expiring.
Does PC2 have customization for every car ? Or its just comes up in another version like road, circuit and rally car ? Still searching for racing games with shift2 feature because shift2 is outdated in terms of car
I got it on sale on PS5 for £10.49 so a reasonable deal. Biggest issue I have with it ase the terrible anti-aliasing (jaggies everywhere man!) and some issues with dead spots on the throttle. Especially when pulling away up an incline. But considering the cost it's still a fun racing game.
You keep talking about better and most serious racing sims. so whats the best? I have a basic rig, a Logitech G29, I love to play PC1 and PC2 seems to me like a downgrade in terms of realism, so what shoul I play next?
I have PC2 on console (PS4). Only complaint is the pixelated look particularly when you look into the distance on track which makes it hard to drive. Is this my older flat screen TV or the console?
If anyone wondering this game died as Pcars3 came out don’t worry a lot of peeps still plays it as it’s way better than that new arcade BS. And it has a variety of cars from road to rally cross
i got project cars 3. traded it in a day later and went back to pc 2
i will forever play projects cars 2! its the best sim racing gaem meant for fuN!
PC2 rallycross is trash.
@@brainiac_studio which is why i never play it
@@brainiac_studio Its good fun if you take the old Ford Escorts on it.

What do you think of GT-Sport?
@@OCRacing I didnt like its ffb and the car behavior felt less detailed. Was ok with controller but couldnt hardly wait to try with a wheel, turned out to be dissapointing compared to pc2, ac. Look great though
The physics of the game is quite different on consoles. The computer is better I don't know why.
On console, GT Sport kicks PCars2 to the curb. Everything is just so polished on it.
But PCars2 has absolute flexibility in picking any car, any track, and time (day or night) and any weather. That's a huge tick. It also allows you to fill the rest of the grid out with AI when you play online with friends, so even if there's only the two of you, the grid can still be filled up. That's a big tick.
The inclusion of classic versions of tracks is brilliant. Classic Spa comes with the base game, while classic Le Mans is paid DLC.
The range of cars is also very good, with Group 5 vehicles a brilliant addition along with the classic Lotus F1 cars. Some great cars like classic Porsches and the Group A R32 GT-R are behind paid DLC, which is a shame.
The highs are sadly let down by big deficiencies. You don't have confidence in the predictabilty of how each car will handle, whether that be braking feel, traction or turn in grip. Without that confidence, the whole point of a driving game goes out the window. AC and GT Sport are peerless in this regard.
The track models in PCars2 are patchy, too. Bathurst is dreadful and does not replicate the sheer steepness and narrowness of the track. Similarly, the climb to turn 2 at the Red Bull Ring is too flat. Faults like this are disappointing.
As a console user, if you can pick up PCars2 second hand on disc cheaply, it's worth a look. If you enjoy it, buy the DLC. But it's NOT worth full price in 2021. The video is absolutely right.
@@ajrichar0 I agree I wouldn't pay full price for it. But TBH I don't pay full price for any game over a year or two old.
Gran Turismo could learn so much from pc2. I played this game so much compared to gt sport, due to the career. Loved signing a contract, racing the calendar and have to qualify for your starting postition. Having damage and the weather changes makes it even better.
Does this game have rally?
@@yol_n Project cars 2 has a few rallycross tracks, but no full on rally stages
Loving these videos on specific sim games, it can be hard to find recent info on them outside of forums/reddit posts which sometimes only shows the issues people have and not how it stands up overall this long after release. Would love to see more on games like RFactor 2, Forza's, Gran Turismo's, etc. Even just as a video hitting them all back to back would be good.
I have been playing sims on PC for years and the 1st PCARS was my favourite single player sim out there - mainly due to its career. I love how you sign a contract and you race around a calendar. I switched to PS5 recently and picked PCARS 2 and it is still my favourite sim, this time on console. Great game with great content. I still love the singe player career but I also started doing some organised league multiplayer races and it is amazing
Ya I don't even F with anything else the first cars game is still a hit
PC2 was my 1st driving game after GT Sport on PS4. Love the increased sim-ness of it.
Not played in a while as I do GT Sport for racing and ACC for driving.
PC2 feels like it's somewhere in the middle.
Still was worth the £22 I spent on it (£11 for disc and then another £11 for the Deluxe edition on digital download.
Deluxe Edition currently showing as £70 on PS4, definitely worth waiting for the sales.
Before ACC released the British DLC for PS4 I used PC2 to drive Oulton Park in preparation.

PC2 is my favorite simulator, and yes I say simulator because it is a simulator. If you turn off all the assists and help tools it becomes a real experience without a doubt. The content is awesome and graphics are still at their best so I would recommend Project Cars 2 to absolutely anyone who loves racing.
Making it more "difficult" by turning off all the assists doesn't make it a sim.
A sim is where the component are based on real datas, not just a bit.
For me ProjectCars always been a mix between arcade and simulation.
@@SnaxDesAvions Project Cars is the only sim to use actual OEM data in car setups by default. It also has a full soft body tire carcass simulation which also takes into account grooves for wet weather driving, and as the brake rotors heat up they dissipate heat into the wheel rim which effects tire temps. Which of course is affected by how open the brake ducts are. Not to mention it's ridiculous transmission and differential simulation.
What components does it not use real data for?
@@SnaxDesAvions you use appropriate assists for what the car uses in real life
@@JZStudiosonline Physics still far from realistic.
@@CiroDiMaRzio12304 Based on what?
Bought it last year and currently have 890+ hours of playtime with it, yes it's good. Just get the FFB mods and bam! you're good to go.
PC2 and ACC are my default games for sim-racing now (because i love GT3 cars) while AC become my favorite photography simulator now lol.
It's fun to dip into, esp with new FFB files. Great value for money when on sale, and a nice companion to also dirt cheap AC. Not a sim to be taken as seriously as others but still has better content and graphics than AMS2. Some track and car combos are plenty of fun. The LMP3/LMP900S are impressive.
‼️‼️
Why should it not be taken seriously? It has a huge range of cars and tracks for now a knock down price, and as to seriousness, at least half of those cars drive as well as many other sims, and some better. THE Force feedback issues have been solved years ago if you can be bothered to download the many fixes. Graphically it is still miles ahead of others. The curbs are a bit of a problem but these are not a deal breaker. It's a fabulous racing sim. It gives many hours of pure pleasure and that cannot be said of rfactor and iracing which are either a pain to set up or are outrageously expensive.
The best part imo is vr, it's vr ui is as good as dirt rally 2. I try to play asseto corsa vr but the ui makes me want to die and so I run back to pc2
@@fingerhorn4 Everyone always says it's not "simmy" enough, but never has an actual reason. Sure, PC1 wasn't great, but PC2 is way better and has way more features and smaller details than pretty much any other game. With the custom FFB files the physics actually become presented a lot more clearly and it's actually really good to the point where you can feel the difference in very small setup changes.
Also, just as a super cool thing, the default setups aren't total shit, the race engineer helps newcomers make custom setups, and road cars have actual OEM setups available instead of the usual middle of the given range setup most sims have.
AMS2 has given me so much more enjoyment in the brief time I've owned it then multiple years of not playing PCars2 because it just doesn't feel like driving a car. Way too arcade like in it's physics/handling characteristics for me.
I think as a simulator on Ps4 it is still the best. as mentioned the variety of cars is great and the same for the tracks. I still play regularly mostly in free practice mode with a mix of assorted cars to simulate an uncompromising track day.
PC1 was the first game from this golden age of racing games I tried and I absolutely loved it. So, when PC2 came out I bought it on launch day and was not disappointed. It corrected most of the issues of PC1 and had way more content of the same high quality. I still play it today, even though I own many other more modern racing games. Although I enjoy PC3, I think PC2 is better and definitely worth your time if you like sim-style racing games.
Thanks for the comment! I agree except I’ve never played PC1… might give it a shot 👀
PC1 was amazing especially because you felt like you actually going fast, I don't know how they did it but in the go kart racing it was just immense.
i already have it, I am here because i love the high level production you put into your videos :)
Glad you like watching my videos!! This one was actually made some 9 months ago so the quality isn’t as high as some of my newer vids unfortunately 😅
For PC users: Reiza studios got the license of Madness Engine and enhanced it, creating their new game, Automobilista 2
It's actually project cars 2.5, with improved ai, realtime weather and so on

@@luclorencini i mean other games not vehicle
I went back to it a couple of days ago- its fun on controller but the main reason I like it is because of all the options when it comes down to tracks, cars and weather!
That’s probably my favorite aspect of it as well. 🤝
I wish turkey was on there
Also the time too. Do you know if the temperature plays any factor or of it's just cosmetic?
From the first moment I played pc2 it had a certain charm about it . And straight out of the box u get you're money's worth for sure 👍
Definitely worth it.. Still some great content in there. Still some shocking cars physics/ffb wise but theres is plenty that is good enough and really great immersion.
Still my favorite sim. Classic LeMans cannot be beat
Classic Le Mans in PC2 is an absolute hidden gen in sim racing. Totally underrated.
Just been on that track!! And what about Historic spa. WOW!!!!!!!
I play with the Quest 2, and this is the most immersive game I've played. Better than ACC, everything. Although I am waiting for the F1 series to support VR.
ACC is crushingly boring - it's not called a dad sim for nothing. Its whole premise is to drive undramatically lap after lap after lap. Only the GT4s are its minor redeeming feature... and even then.
You'll be waiting a long time!!
@@eddiedevereoxford4995 dad sim? Wtf that means
Try automobilista 2, in VR it blows project cars 2 out of the water and you are able to get skins for nearly every generation of formula one cars.
I play with controller and I finally got the controller settings to a point where it’s possible to drive good consistently. F1 2020 and project cars 2 definitely top 2 favorite racing games
The track and weather variety make this seem very enticing. I’m currently mostly an Assetto Corsa guy because I like the tweaking and experimenting, but the quality and quantity of tracks is honestly pretty sparse. The mods can be hit or miss. Project Cars seems to be a more user friendly and chill experience, sort of in line with Gran Turismo.
i still play it and it never gets old
I fired it up 2 weeks ago and really had fun. The games shows its age here and there, but generally, there is still a lot of fun driving on the vast selection of tracks.
Easily one of the most immersive games in VR in my opinion. I personally get better performance on my VR headset on PC2 compared to other sims. Yeah maybe not the best for handling characteristics and other things but I think for $20 the visuals and performance and variety it has is what does it for me. Great video Brother!
i bought it on amazon for like 14 bucks a couple years ago, i still play and was a hundred percent worth it, great video
For that price, 100%. Thanks for watching :)
To be honest, I find PC2 has the best clutch feel. You actually get good feedback when you rev match.
i got this game for almost no money and it was the best decision i ever made when it came to gaming, it pushed me to get a wheel and i start sim racing
The funny thing is people talk about it not being "simmy" enough, but A. They're wrong, and B. They never explain why when PC2 simulates more and does a better job at simulating than many of the "hardcore sims" including RF2 and AC.
You can fix the broken real weather system using a 3rd party app thing tied to a new weather API to feed into the game. I used it to race at Road America in the snow on Christmas, it was pretty cool. The game also changes the environment and foliage based on season.
The FFB is a lot better with custom profiles. Popsracer and Christiaan are both really good and add in missing effects which make it feel a lot more natural. Good luck to console players though.
Gonna have to give a hard disagree on the game not being worth it, it still has a lot of features newer games don't, and just the volume of content available across more than just a single class division give it a lot of value.
This is far better than most of the crap console games these days
This game is underrated. I think the reason it was slept on is because it's pretty complicated to set up
I’ve been playing PC2 nonstop for the past couple of days, the game is really good even with a controller.
Group C cars at Daytona race course is a great combo I would recommend.
I have a ps4 and I play ac, acc and pc2, and pc2 is definitely the most fun, I don’t like to play it serious like I might do on acc but more like making fun of the ai or actually just drive: the immersion is great, in an indicar you feel that the car has no powered steering while in a road car you have a lot of assists, it’s a lot of fun to just drive and feel the different cars
It's helped me with my real life racing but it's given me a phobia of curbs and rumble strips
Multiplayer setup and interface is clean and has most of the options you'd want. It's still in the rotation a lot with my group of friends. It has a ton to offer compared to other sims even 4 yrs old. It's not perfect but it's better than most in a lot of ways that matter. Value for $$ for sure.
Thanks for the comment, Mike :)
Best Sim Racer ever made, hands down, not even debatable. I still run PJC2 as my Primary. PJC3 was an insult, and even though I run AC, ACC, GTSport, Rfactor 1&2, Raceroom etc, not a single one of them can hold a candle to PJC2. Thumbs on on the CC though, his review is grossly inaccurate. There are no issue with the ai, and the simulation is spot on. I bought it twice at full price, PC and PS4. and would do so again with no regrets. No sim out there is as complete and some are worthy of refunding. Bottom line PJC2 is THE STANDARD, everything else including the new titles need to catch up.
Still good now.
I've arrived back at it.
Try it with the nVidia HDR filter and a good GPU.
JUST DO !
Project Cars was my entry to simulation. As console user I only had project cars 2 for online racing for quite a while... Never liked GTS.
I enjoyed AC but the online on the console universe was dead. Now we have ACC which is with no doubt an incredible detailed simulation.
Even so I still use PC2 for casual racing on different circuits, and car classes.
Driving the BMW 320 group 5 on the green hell is one of the best combinations.
In my opinion the phisics feel ok when compared to ACC although you don't feel the weight transfer as much. And the force feedback doesn't seem to me to be as bad as everyone says, although it is indeed a steep or two below ACC. You just need to tweak a lot on the settings, as AC fell great right outside of the box.
For me PC2 it's a must have for console users. Absolutely.
Never even tried PC3...
Project Cars 2 is what I wanted GT Sport and GT 7 to be. Actual offline single player sim racing content.
who else is here after it went on sale for $10 on xbox
I bought Pcars 2 as my first game when I still used a Dual Shock 4 controller on PC. Multiplayer was basically non existent. I upgraded to Assetto Corsa while still on the controller. AC was way better feeling and easier with a controller and had more content.
I revisited Pcars 2 with wheel, and the FFB just felt wack. The FFB basically feels like a centering spring almost as if it has a steering damper on it. No FFB fine tuning fixed this for me.
TLDR: Don't but it if you don't already have Assetto Corsa. Even if you do, I don't recommend it. Assetto Corsa is only 5 bucks for all content + free modded content.
I have a g29 and in pc2 i found some great ffb settings that allow me to feel the kerbs, feel the car slipping and a good amount of bumps. From time to time i have some clipping, but i solve this by lowering a bit the ffb intensity. With some cars i feel more, with others i feel less, but in average i have a pretty good amount of infos about the car from the wheel
I prefer to sacrifice a bit the intensity of the ffb to have a more clear and consistent feeling of the car
It took a lot of time for me to find these settings, but they are good imo. It's easier to go fast, to be consistent and to catch the car
As some one who plays on controller, I enjoy the game but I find myself but I always find myself coming back to the same car and track combinations. If u don’t play on a wheel some cars are hard to drive while the AI are inconsistent (for me at least) and as u said the kerbs can be a bit hit and miss, so even tho there are a wide range of cars and tracks, some rarely get used. The multiplayer has always been a bit bland but especially now as people have moved, the majority of races where gt3 cars at monza and there was always one guy who just cut the chicanes because the rules were turned off. Overall, it’s a good sim racing game on console and the race engineer is really helpful and should be added in more racing games in one way or another, but for 60 quid it’s a bit expensive and it would be better to wait for a sale
100% agree with your comment. I definitely wouldn’t pay full price for the game, but when it goes on sale for like $5 - $20, it’s totally worth it.
Yeah I agree. I wish i could just set the ai at a level that I don't have to change every track or car and stay consistent. I spend more time trying to find the best difficulty than racing.
PC2 is a necessary game along the way, it has many different classes of cars, a well developed career mode to guide player through a believable racing career and it's as realistic as it can get for a game with this many variety of cars, it gives us the information we need to take the next step into more focused game whether it's to turn it down a notch to an arcade sim or to a more class focused game or even step up to play in more authentic simulators. In my opinion the car setup concepts in PC2 are realistic enough that I can migrate it into another driving sim without much changes, the cars may not feel like a real one, but its concept behind it is realistic and is something we can learn from.
Review is spot on! I Jumped into this after not playing for 2yrs. = WoW i can't believe how the graphics are /were, that good, still today. After playing AC, PC2 is eye candy, then add the night racing & weather its really good. Sound FX (cars) is well done. Using a controller (yea i know) - the problem is some of the Cars setups, some are very hard to setup ie: LMP3 w/ controller ugh! Just never feel right. Also the front end in 90% of cars is numb, no feeling of the road, like ice & most have no FFB, only when braking. Hope for a new PC (#4) sim game
Ams2 is what project cars 3 should and could of been but slms were more bothered about money than making a sim as good as it could be. I still love pc 1 and 2 but if anyone reads this comment give Ams2 a go nowadays its amazing. The force feedback makes you feel so connected to the cars, especially the newer cars. Great channel mate I've subscribed 👍
Just got the deluxe for $14. Awesome value!
i actualy played it again today, also had my heaviest online crash yet today. scary impact
Sheeeesh 15K already sky-rocketing broo
❤ Still Rockin Project Cars 2 ❤ on PS4
Automobilista 2! Same engine/weather/options, almost as many cars and tracks, better physics/ffb.
Great and honest review of this sim. Subscribed my dude!
I bought this yesterday for $10 Australian - amazing.
I love this game myself and still play league races on it to this day, but I felt like a positive you could've mentioned is that this game is very good for people who are completely new to sim racing and want to get into it. The learning curve isn't as steep as in other games, although sweaty aliens with good setup knowledge will still have the edge of course. Some major negatives I'm surprised you didn't mention are the penalty system and the large amount of bugs the game has. The penalty system is absolutely abysmal, even penalizing you for going off track while you lost time instead of gaining time. You can also get your next lap invalidated for leaving the track in sector 2 and getting the penalty in sector 3, which is absolutely ridiculous. There are too many bugs to mention in a single comment, but this game did not receive enough developer support after its release, resulting in the game still having very obvious and easy to fix bugs like broken online lobbies and AI rolling starts crashing before you've even been given control of your vehicle. It's less buggy than the first game, but the existing bugs can still induce lots of rage lol.
The bugs are definitely the major killer. The overt twitchiness and the weird collision physics especially.
That being said for a console user it's the closest thing to a sim that actually has an interesting range of cars and with that a good time can be had.
yea i forgot the random penalties = just the worst.
Love your channel, bought the g29 shifter mod you reviewed, love it👍🏻👌
Awesome! Thanks for watching 😃
I still play both, (PCars 1 and 2) in my PS4!!
No other game has so many classic race cars and classic tracks, than this one, in PS4!!
imo the game is still worth it considering you can pick it up for under $10 on steam quite frequently. it also beats pc3 imo
I’ve heard so many bad things about PC3 that I never even bothered getting it 😅
@@OCRacing haha yea there is a lot of negativity surrounding it.
@@OCRacing it’s good for what the arcade market might be - but for sim racing it’s a big no no
@@krispyk.1786 this sums it up
Great timing i was searching for video like this.
My first car game
Just gave it to my friend as present as a xbox key. He bought a wheel and a playseat so i was like lets do this game and F1 you wil enjoy it
I bought the game for 10€ because i wanted a game to play with gamepad when i don't want to mount my simracing setup. And it very nice to relax and play some when you don't want to go tryhard. For me is worth
one of major good point over AMS2 is DLCs are filled with actual content that base game doesnt have.
Porsche legend
Ferrari Essentials
Spirits of leman all of those are pretty unique dlc and you dont need spend 10$ for an nord its already good thing
Yes it is absolutely worth it. Got it for $16. Excellency game which has so much to do that statistically you will enjoy something for certain
By far my favorite sim with pops racer ffb mod and about 50 car mods. Playing in VR, 4090, yaw2 motion rig. Life is good.
Today i was looking in the PS store for a racing game and found this for 10€ (normally 60 €). After reading the comments here i am excited to play! Didnt play racing games in years and this is my first 1 after a long time. 50 minutes download to go, i cant wait 😎
Deluxe edition only 5€ more😱
I got the deluxe version for like $13 and for that price it’s amazing
The GTE cars feel so good
I still have it on my hard drive.
Full Modded AC is my all time fav but PC2 with its graphics and weather system is still to this day an always get back to drive once in a while for me.
PC2 and AMS2 are my go to for fun private multiplayer lobbies with friends. But if it is content and driving physics you are after, then give Raceroom racing experience (R3E) a try. It's a bit pricy to get all the content, but for 60-70 Euros during sales you can get a large variety of content on a proper sim with a great ranked multiplayer experience, sound and driving physics.
What's the catch? it's still running an old graphical engine based on DX9, so graphics and performance are not great by any means.
Still, it's my go to default racing game. I suggest you check out the free content as it acts like an unlimited demo. just don't expect to be able to join the ranked servers this way (10 euros starter pack can get you through the amateur ranked servers though).
I’ve been wanting to try out raceroom! Something about pay-for-content games always make me so skeptical though…
@@OCRacing I'm with ya chief. I didn't try it for the longest time cause of this. But if you think about it, it's actually a very reasonable ask since the base game with several cars and tracks is free. Buying all content costs the same as the full price of a new game. And future content is like dlcs on other games.
What I would recommend you though is to not buy it directly using steam and regular currency. Rather wait for sales and go to their website and buy VRPs (virtual currency) and then buy the game via redeeming those. There are many videos on how to do this and it does save you at least the 30% cut that steam takes out of them.
I got everything for 60 Euros this way a couple of months ago and couldn't be happier!
Or you know, ask for a media copy, since your channel isn't that small anymore ;)
either rfactor 2 or assetto corsa would be a better option for way less money
@@MrWhitePerson Rfactor2 is way more expensive and less structured in its content. The modding scene quality is all over the place as well and it's buggy.
Assetto Corsa is great and it's the game I started on. But I still like the driving feel of R3E more, plus the integrated ranked online racing is cool.
As I said, only downside is the aged graphics and spotty CPU performance during collisions, even on my beefy machine.
The amazing level of immersion with the truly dynamic weather/time/seasons is what keeps me coming back. And the selection of tracks and cars…. Wanna drift around on a snow covered track with an RX car? You can. Wanna go back in time and race retro F1 cars on a historical track? You can. Wanna do an epic multi class endurance race in an LMP car at Le Mans with dynamic weather? You can! Wanna take a simple road car and chill at the Nurburgring? You sure can! I have been playing on and off since 2018 and though the game does have its flaws, like the inconsistency in cars and hit or miss ai on some tracks, everything else is just awesome. No other game captures that feeling of raw racing quite as well as PC2. The career mode has something for everyone, no gimmicks or OP cars, just a very solid realism oriented experience with full seasons and a great sense of progression. The selection of tracks is more than you’ll ever need. All the little bits of realism like manual pit stops, manual rolling starts, and the engineer talking to you through the radio really adds to the whole experience. That and the multitude of car setup things all the way down to adjusting brake ducts to reduce drag etc. The visuals might not be 4k UHD, but the color palette and lighting are so spot on! You can take any cars, on any track, in any season, any weather, any time of day, make your own custom championships or just mess around and have a massive field of go karts going around daytona. It’s all here.
Have you heard those exclusive voice lines from the engineer at Le Mans talking about the Porsche Curbs? I thought that was a really cool detail
I'm playing it rn lol, I'd say it's 100% worth it because of the sounds and immersion. The physics are kinda wonky tho haha
Sim racing while watching RUclips?! 😮
Hello mate
@@OCRacing 🤣
I appreciate how it’s between GT sport and AC in terms of difficulty/realism
This game is still selling for 115$ for xbox for a 2017 release its holding value.
One of the best games/simulators of last decade so far
Yes even in 2024! Just did a whole evening on it with my new csl dd pro base :)
Even on controller i love playing this game. Lotus 49 and 98 is especially fun
If PC2 had matchmaking and balanced pre sets for cars. It mightve been more successful.
But GTSport just vacuumed up a lot of the playerbase
Pcars2 is still one my fav.. my go to sim..yes still worth it..must buy
I love this game! I play this game out of anything now. I still play on controller, in hopes one day to afford a wheel. The varitey of tracks/cars, dlc car content, weather, customization of your on-screen hud, ability to map your controller/wheel to whatever button(s). One detail that hooked me to this game is the ability to use your clutch. Online multiplayer, it's hard to find people to play sometimes of how the game is getting old. Overall one of the best sim-cade racing games I have ever played. There's so much customization to tweak/tune the game to how you want to play. Do not try PC3, because you will be disappointed.
Just got recommended this video figured I would take a peek.
Solid Review, I bought the game in 2020 for $16.99 and that was WITH all the DLC Content. Still to this day, it’s my favorite game to hop on and enjoy some Career Mode.. Still haven’t had the chance to win the Championship in every discipline, but I’m working on it!!
AI is definitely more consistent the higher you go with their skill, but I find setting up a decent Skill Strength and then fine tuning the Aggression Scale makes for some really close and clean racing, from Karts to LMP1 you can have a blast living out your dreams of having a Career as Racing Driver without ever leaving your home.
Only thing I would recommend is, again, spending some time in Custom Events to nail the AI Levels and get them as close to your pace as possible. You’ll know you got it correct when they act quite similar to how you would expect a “good” Multiplayer Lobby to be.
The second thing that really helped me get the most out of this game; was learning to set up the cars without the help of the Engineer. If you can consistently nail your setup and rely on the Engineer only in an “emergency situation” I find you can extract more time with less issues, because as mentioned some cars are great out of the box, others need some serious adjustment to really push hard on. Overall if you enjoy a mix of Career and the odd Multiplayer Race, this game is awesome. 10/10 would recommend again, especially when it’s On Sale!
P.S: You can definitely find more than just bog standard GT3 events, all depends on what time you decide to play Multiplayer, the NA guys seem to like the GT catagories alot but if you play when the Euro boys are active there’s a lot more selection, just gotta pick the right time of day/night to hop on, best bet is joining a packed lobby tho. As starting your own, it can take a while to get some proper attention. People also seem to have a mutual understanding of Lobby Settings, what’s best and what causes major issues, so try and stick to what everyone else is doing and you can fill a lobby way faster! (If ypu decide to start your own.)
ngl it's fun, the career mode is alot of fun
buuuut ngl the karts are lowkey shit
I’ve never really been into career modes 🥲
@@MrsJoks yeah karts are super tricky - 1 gear and low power …
I've been playing Assetto Corsa lately coming from PC2. They both have VR but i think Assetto car physics might be better + the car customization rocks.
Get the Deluxe Edition on Sale. You won´t regret it!
Used to host lobbies on this back in the day and focus on the old tracks with new cars was always popular and really fun never had an urge to go back since ACC and Iracing tho
Thanks. Picked up deluxe edition on G2A for $12. Gonna give it a go in VR.
I got this for free with a subscription thing called Xbox live which gives you 3 games per month and lets you play online on Xbox. Wont even let me pair my wheel to it. Have no clue if it’s a bug or if it’s on my side
After putting pops racers new ffb file I find pc2 it’s the best sim of them all when it comes to running under vr until acc gets its dlss support.
I got it for like $15, was pretty fun for the price
If you wan't to buy it do it NOW, because it's getting delisted from Steam in September!
Nice video , what Xbox racing games do you recommend sitting side by side using the same console racing against each other at the same time?
I am not even going to watch the video - the answer is YES!
I prefer PC1. The physics of PC2 is a soap track until in dry roads and the first version have more detail. Only on rain PC2 have more situations.
Madness engine is very good. Today use in AMS2 the same of PC2 , but better
just picked it up on sale for 8.99!! still use project cars 3,but only for practice drives on highway.
Of course this is a badass game! Same as previous version. Project cars 2 counts with a huge library of dope cars. Also the FFB on this game is superb 👌 so many ways to dial the settings to please your driving needs. Overall great game! Still relevant and fun to play. 💯 recommend this game even if played on a belt driven system.
I've raced a decent amount of sims from the last decade, Project Cars 2 is loads of fun and it looks amazing. The physics and AI are pretty sketchy sometimes though. I got Automobilista and Between PC2 and Automobilista, I would personally recommend Automobilista because it feels more grounded and the force feedback is a bit more descriptive. But if you want a game that looks great and is good for starters (even if it lacks a little in some things) I would recommend PC2.
In my opinion, yes, PC2 is still holding its own in 2022. I still play it regularly and it's the only racing game that I play exclusively in VR because it's just that good.
The game is being delisted or removed from sale in a few days!!!! BUY the DLC now! While you still can! ALL The dlc cars and tracks are amazing and worth it 100%
Once it is delisted you will NEVER be able to get them again. Multiplayer servers will still be ran though because SMS said the reason they have to delist it is because of licensing agreements expiring.
I purchased it 2 days ago for 85% discount!
What should I get instead of Project Cars 2, if I want a similar experience with career and content?
Does PC2 have customization for every car ? Or its just comes up in another version like road, circuit and rally car ? Still searching for racing games with shift2 feature because shift2 is outdated in terms of car
Full setups. Also full hud setup for users. So many options
I got it on sale on PS5 for £10.49 so a reasonable deal. Biggest issue I have with it ase the terrible anti-aliasing (jaggies everywhere man!) and some issues with dead spots on the throttle. Especially when pulling away up an incline. But considering the cost it's still a fun racing game.
You keep talking about better and most serious racing sims. so whats the best? I have a basic rig, a Logitech G29, I love to play PC1 and PC2 seems to me like a downgrade in terms of realism, so what shoul I play next?
Assetto corsa or Assetto corsa Competizione would be a good jump!
It's always populated on pc, dipped into it other night and had a blast
Thx for the review!
I have PC2 on console (PS4). Only complaint is the pixelated look particularly when you look into the distance on track which makes it hard to drive. Is this my older flat screen TV or the console?
