Copy and paste graphics and content from 2 to 3, remove any type of sim physics it had, call it a new game, and charge $60. Welcome to modern gaming industry.
I'm a Project Cars 2 fan, 625 hours played, and I was *SO* buzzing when I found out PC3 would be released for existing consoles. And now I'm disappointed.
Resolving the aliasing issue on the engine running PCars would probably require TAA or DLSS2. There's simply a lot of shimmer due to high frequency details and specular properties of the materials. TAA is quite disgustingly blurry however but for users not using NVIDIA would probably be the only fix.
If you have a Nvidia card, disable all AA and post AA in the game, then enable FXAA and MSAA with MFAA in the Nvidia control panel. This both looks better, and is easier on performance (more fps) than using the in-game options.
Look at the console versions.. I’m playing on PS4 Pro, and it’s probably the worst aliasing I have ever seen in a game. Normally I don’t care a whole lot about graphics, but this time, it’s genuinely distracting, and takes away from the experience. Which sucks, because I really do enjoy this game. It’s a nice change of pace
Project CARS 2 was a really hard to master sim. Not as good of a sim as iRacing or Assetto Corsa, but its hard handling made it tough to master. Meanwhile, they flipped the book with Project CARS 3. It's no longer a simulator, and is even more of an arcade racer than both Forza series. It's very close to GRID 2019 in terms of how much of an arcade it is.
i wonder what SMS did for almost three years? basically all car models were carried over, all tracks too, there is literally no improvement to the graphics whatsoever and if anything then it looks worse, the lighting is definitely worse, rain effects are worse (where is the actual spray that looked so nice in PC1 and 2?) the physics have been numbed down...like...aeh??? and then wanting 59,99€ in the steam store. it's a joke right?
I don't know the details but it seems like they did some r&d stuff for an year or two and when it didn't work out, they came up with this product because they gotta make money.
@@unidentiifiedd3224 In an alternate universe, that's what happened and the world is just a little bit better. I just realized this whole kerfuffle is happening because it's the year 2020
PC 3 looks over exposed. It makes the background look very cheap and is just more blurry than 1 or 2 at 1080p. I play at 1080p because I like the higher frame rate at that resolution, but in PC 3 it looks like I have it at a lower resolution ( like 720p) and things in the distance are completely out of focus. With the blown out lighting and out of focus distance the pop in really stands out. I hope an update will fix this. Another issue I have with PC 3 in the sound. It is far too low. I have the master volume set to 100 and it isn't anywhere near as loud as PC 2 with the volume set at 45. There are some things I like. For example the echo when you go through tunnels is nice, better than PC 2, but about the same as PC 1. Visually with the way the lighting is in PC 3 you lose a lot of detail in the sky. The soft focus in the distance makes the aliasing look more pronounced. I would like the MSAA option to return because it works great on PC 2. I bought the deluxe edition so I hope that in addition to more content we also get some of the option from PC 2 back in the game. And I now it's a reach, but tire wear and pit stops. I'd love to also see gas fires, oil spills and flaming wrecks. It would be cool to have a race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway look like the ending of Rollerball. After all, one can dream.
Man if Microsoft can do what they did with Microsoft flight sim. Maybe do a state or one place, make things more detailed. I would wait forever to see that.
Whats up it seems a little more realistic than the likes of Forza, I agree, not completely realistic like I gather I Racing probably is (not tried it yet) but more than others I have tried. I must give Assetto Corsa another go for comparison, not fired that up in a couple of years 🤔
One thing I found (and recommend to everyone) is to enable sharpening. PC3 is a lot blurrier that PC2 and it's why a lot of people were complaining about a graphical downgrade. But once you crank up the settings and apply a big sharpening level, the game actually starts to look good. I recommend enabling sharpening in most games, but with this one it's practically mandatory.
Ppl are so toxic saying pc3 is a horrible racing game solely because it doesn’t have sim physics. It’s not….it just isn’t a pure sim. The only ones that don’t like it are the pure simmers. arcade/simcade racing gamers including myself like it
@@frenchl1on lol...for me that first sound comparison in this video proves otherwise... the cam is behind the car and in pc3 it sounds like you are wearing noise cancelling headphones...
Not only the rain and light design are a step back, but the WHOLE game... This is my biggest disappointment of the year in terms of games so far this year (beside the Warcraft 3 Reforged)
But why buy this over project cars 2? I'm not trying to hate, just asking. Because honestly I don't see how this is better ,especially for the price of a new game.
For me, nice graphics are but the icing on the cake. It’s cool if a game has them, but unless it *truly,* negatively affects my ability to play the game (which is very rare), I’m fine with it not having the absolute highest quality graphics. On the subject of gameplay, it really is, for the majority, preference. Me personally, I find myself enjoying realistic, but not ultra-realistic, racing games the most (Forza, Gran Turismo, Project Gotham Racing, etc.). I understand the frustration and disappointment for PC3 not following the same formula as the previous two, but if I look at it from a simcade racing perspective, I am thoroughly interested.
I'm just happy this is actually playable on a controller. PC1 was absolutely horrendous, whereas PC2 was decent, but still not fantastic. It's just unfortunate that it lost a great deal of authenticity for sim fans in the process.
Project Cars 3, the audio is cleaner and better recording for the engine itself but doesn't capture the nuances that the Project Cars 2 does, for example the spin up of the turbo chargers and chortling on some turbos when you're accelerating from a dead stop, you don't hear than in PC 3 but you do hear it in PC 2. There are turbo chargers that chortle in real life to prevent boost from being wasted and to avoid causing lagging on an engine isn't ready for a full boost yet, the RPM range isn't high enough.
I've been playing PC3 since I got it in the mail this morning and I'm already bored with its repetitive career mode, no trophys , and custom limitations. Both 1&2 I played for over 2 years each time. With part 3 I might bury it by next week.
This generation of games has been greatly disappointing. It's sad when you have to actually zoom in to notice any improvements in graphics. Back in the day, new games had better graphics period, just looking at them made appreciate the improvements instantly, but now you have to zoom in and start nitpicking things that you won't even notice when playing. Simply disappointing
Well there are games where this is still applicable , it's just that this game is a very lazy sequel and they haven't changed much of anything in the actual game
Surprisingly they seem to have fixed the plethora of audio problems from PCars 2. The audio in that game was so badly treated that i swear everyone who played it must have lost a bit of their hearing.
In a nutshell, Project Cars 3 is actually Need For Speed Shift 3 but with the car models, race tracks and graphical design of PC2, which makes sense since they have the same developer. I personally haven't played the first or the second Project Cars titles and I am not really a fan of simulation racers, but I somewhat enjoyed PC3 as a throwback to the NFS Shift subseries.
Thanks for this detailed and useful comparison. You did a lot of work, and presented it very well. It looks like all the things I like about PC2 are still there in PC3. But I already own PC2 with all the DLC content (thanks, Steam sales!), so I don't feel anything drawing me to "upgrade". I still have tons of cars and tracks to try out in PC2 anyway!
I dumped hundreds of hours into Project Cars 1 and 2. I bought 3 yesterday and got a few hours in today, annnd.... I really liked it. Totally different from the last games, yes, but I enjoy Gran Turismo, Forza, Grid & NFS as well. Guess I'm an outlier but I can see why people don't like the approach of 3.
Project cars 2 sounds way better im not buying this game the fact they just changed the whole formula going from sim to arcade its just not right what about all the original backers for this game they were all hardcore sim racers they backed the game because they wanted a good sim title
I rather the sounds in PC2. PC3 just sounds very diluted down while PC2 Had more louder meatier sounds and you could actually hear the rain in cockpit view. By the way, I think that it’s a mix of NFS shift and Driveclub with re-used maps and cars from Project cars 2. Also. Here is the thing. It’s a good racing game, but it’s not a project cars game, if that makes sense.
So they made this "sequel" more arcade in a way? Why not rebrand it instead? Forza is getting their public with this strategy, I think it's fair for others to follow the same concept. There's not much you can do with this genre,
You forgot to add few things, The damage is only visual it will not affect your performance in PC3, as well as pit stops and many other features removed...
Ahm no they don't, they've been the most hypocrite possible, search for "Forza responds to my ban" and you'll see how bad the feedback on that game really is
@@Kravicka it's just lame tbh, they just don't have anyone that knows how to code online I'm guessing, I mean, it's not easy but jeez, with the amount of money they have it's not that hard to get someone, same thing goes for need for speed, they haven't had anyone good with online systems for 5 years
I have both and I must say I enjoy both differently. I like the realism of PC2 and when I wanna chill and just drive cars on tracks without being to focused I play project cars 3. To PC3 benefit it does have some cars I haven’t seen on other racing games like Proto Z. One thing I must say is I think the transmission noise in PC3 can be a bit much at times
As much as I liked PC2 because of the many race tracks and cars and weather situations... I never completed a whole race because it is almost impossible with a gamepad. NOW you can say about PC3 what you will, but it's actually playable and the carreer mode is exactly what I would expected if someone copied Gran Turismo for the PC. It's even more interesting, because it's more like just going for the win with those different challenges. And I still have most of the tracks and cars of PC2... so yeah it's more like an addon but for me It's how PC2 should have been in the first place.
If I were wheel sim enthusiast who liked the previous games I'd be annoyed of how it turned out but, as someone who has always played the racing games with a controller. I'm OK with it! I've been enjoying it for what it is!
Project cars 3 is much better than pc2 in controls on controller. Its super strange how hypercars drift with the speed 300kmh all over rhe race. Game need some stability on pc
Fun Fact: Project Cars 2 which has a Number Plate Named WMD 2018, But In Other versions in Project Cars 2 In Verion 7, The Number plate Changes to WMD 2017!!! But that is the year when Project Cars 2 was Created!!! So why do number plates Change every Version! WMD 2018 Is not the Original Number plate!!! But some players have that!!!
EXCELLENT video as always, Nick930! But I do think that Project Cars 1 beats both games in terms of the sound of the vehicles - It would be more interesting of you had included PC1 in this comparison. I just hope that Project Cars 4 goes back to it's roots being a sim again, rather than arcade. PC1: Sound PC2: Physics PC3: More content
With so many differences between PC2 and PC3 I feel comparing them graphically is like comparing apples and oranges. PC2 is a semi-decent racing sim you'd want to drive with a steering wheel and PC3 is a NFS style arcade that looks like a mobile game and you'd want to play it as such, with a gamepad.
I know most of this community is just graphics related but guys the physics and features from pc2 is just gone in pc3 just so ya'll know, they did remove pit stops, tire wear, fuel usage, 24hr racing, better controlable weather options etc
What use is it looking at a screen shot? Who cares if the grass is shorter? Who cares that the shadows have jaggy edges? What they have done is make the game FUN. Why can't sim fanboys just enjoy a racing game and race? Why is there always this crying about sim and arcade. Its fun. The cars have grip, you still have to brake and drive the racing line if you want good times. Its nothing like NFS, that statement just says you're a sim fanboy and you don't know how to have FUN. Managing tyres, fuel and pit stops maybe part of real life racing, but it does not add fun to a GAME. The point of a racing GAME, is to RACE cars you will never be able to own and have FUN. So project cars 3 won't be played and enjoyed by a few sim fanboys, thats ok, it will sell and be a great racing game because its fun and it looks great.
Project 3 is fun enough to play so everything OK. The thing I hate is shear amount of bugs. Like if you click to exit, everything just freezes. You can exit only by turning off the PC. Crappy made game to make some (and some I mean a lot) income.
Myea, but my theory for that piece of garbage being garbage is because that's Bandai Namco obtaining an license and telling one of their development teams to just get it done. And then you get Slightly Mad like "But we really need to do Project Cars 3 well done.", so they halfass it because of the lack of resources and you get a game that looks like a movie license game from 2007 or something. - They did one that's probably worse, which would be some kind of Red Bull Racing kind of game. Another example of a license type product.
@@sunnyliu9820 But I highly doubt it's Slightly Mad Studios going "Oh yea, let's purchase the license for a whole lot of money and make a game right as we're developing Project Cars 3 and make it really poorly and sell it that way.". - It must've been Namco if not Codemasters putting them up with that. - It can't be the developer choosing this, why would they do that to themselves.
TheKal Actually, PC2 shipped with similar excessive smoke effects, and they were patched out when the community said how unrealistic they were. I guess this shows the difference in priorities between the intended market for PC2 and the one for PC3. Forget realistic, does it look mAd sIcK yO bRo?! 🙄🤪😂

Idk how they still didn't fix the horrible aliasing. Even at 4K with AA the whole image is shimmering.
Resolving the aliasing issue on the engine running PCars would probably require TAA or DLSS2. There's simply a lot of shimmer due to high frequency details and specular properties of the materials. TAA is quite disgustingly blurry however but for users not using NVIDIA would probably be the only fix.

Well they did pull off GRID on switch, mobile might not be a terrible idea.
If you play with 4k, you shouldn't need AA at all, the density of pixels pretty much makes it irrelevant. That is very weird indeed.

Surprisingly they seem to have fixed the plethora of audio problems from PCars 2. The audio in that game was so badly treated that i swear everyone who played it must have lost a bit of their hearing.
Slightly mad studio already make 2 mistakes...F&F:Crossroads and PC3
You forgot the 3rd.. the fact they’re making a games console
Slightly Mad this year I think
project cars 3 is like a pizza that needed to be in the oven for 20 minutes to bake but only stayed 10
It was a lazy effort by sms and they added the icing on the cake by lying to a very loyal fan base while trying to make a buck .... what a shame
In a nutshell, Project Cars 3 is actually Need For Speed Shift 3 but with the car models, race tracks and graphical design of PC2, which makes sense since they have the same developer. I personally haven't played the first or the second Project Cars titles and I am not really a fan of simulation racers, but I somewhat enjoyed PC3 as a throwback to the NFS Shift subseries.
Thanks for this detailed and useful comparison. You did a lot of work, and presented it very well. It looks like all the things I like about PC2 are still there in PC3. But I already own PC2 with all the DLC content (thanks, Steam sales!), so I don't feel anything drawing me to "upgrade". I still have tons of cars and tracks to try out in PC2 anyway!
Now i understand why Slightly Mad Studios had to be sold to Codemasters. However i prefer the Arcade style.
The new UI is giving me Asphalt 8 vibes
I dumped hundreds of hours into Project Cars 1 and 2. I bought 3 yesterday and got a few hours in today, annnd....
I really liked it. Totally different from the last games, yes, but I enjoy Gran Turismo, Forza, Grid & NFS as well. Guess I'm an outlier but I can see why people don't like the approach of 3.
Oh, they kept a cockpit view for Asphalt 9. Great.
It's horrendous!
Asphalt 9 is far from this
2 is a good game, 3 is taking all the good things from 2 and throws them out of a cliff
Project cars 2 sounds way better im not buying this game the fact they just changed the whole formula going from sim to arcade its just not right what about all the original backers for this game they were all hardcore sim racers they backed the game because they wanted a good sim title
Great comparison video 👍👍👍
PC2 sounds are more sharper and crisp comparing to PC3
nah...PC2 had pretty shitty sounds...better than Assetto Corsa tho
@GT 7 Thats not true....Dirt Rally have farbetter interior sounds. AC sounds like fkin vacuum cleaner. Stop spreading bullshit.
That UI is so revolting that even Freemium mobile games are blushing
Now try it in VR. PC3 looks like a mobile phone game compared to PC2. Especially the shadows
I wanted to get Project cars 3 but I preferred saving for the Gran Turismo 7 in the future...Is this the right choice?
this looks like it's been put together in a month by like 2 people that already had the old assets..
Project cars 2 is better because of the sounds and the tracks, and car grouping but project cars 3 is better at some visuals because it's newer
I rather the sounds in PC2. PC3 just sounds very diluted down while PC2 Had more louder meatier sounds and you could actually hear the rain in cockpit view.
By the way, I think that it’s a mix of NFS shift and Driveclub with re-used maps and cars from Project cars 2.
Also. Here is the thing. It’s a good racing game, but it’s not a project cars game, if that makes sense.
Love your vídeos Bro!!
So they made this "sequel" more arcade in a way? Why not rebrand it instead? Forza is getting their public with this strategy, I think it's fair for others to follow the same concept. There's not much you can do with this genre,
You forgot to add few things, The damage is only visual it will not affect your performance in PC3, as well as pit stops and many other features removed...
How lazy. This is why I love the Forza Horizon games. The developers actually care
Ahm no they don't, they've been the most hypocrite possible, search for "Forza responds to my ban" and you'll see how bad the feedback on that game really is
hahahahahahhaah sure, thats why thousands of ppl cant even LAUNCH the game for like a year.
@@Kravicka it's just lame tbh, they just don't have anyone that knows how to code online I'm guessing, I mean, it's not easy but jeez, with the amount of money they have it's not that hard to get someone, same thing goes for need for speed, they haven't had anyone good with online systems for 5 years
Nah they don't, most of the cars have the same garbage engine sound and Playground doesn't care at all
Nah they don't, most of the cars have the same garbage engine sound and Playground doesn't care at all
I have both and I must say I enjoy both differently. I like the realism of PC2 and when I wanna chill and just drive cars on tracks without being to focused I play project cars 3. To PC3 benefit it does have some cars I haven’t seen on other racing games like Proto Z. One thing I must say is I think the transmission noise in PC3 can be a bit much at times
Pc3 is a better racing game.
I actually think it is awesome
Yes
As much as I liked PC2 because of the many race tracks and cars and weather situations... I never completed a whole race because it is almost impossible with a gamepad. NOW you can say about PC3 what you will, but it's actually playable and the carreer mode is exactly what I would expected if someone copied Gran Turismo for the PC. It's even more interesting, because it's more like just going for the win with those different challenges. And I still have most of the tracks and cars of PC2... so yeah it's more like an addon but for me It's how PC2 should have been in the first place.
60 quid for less maps same textures and a few ne cars (ik know 22 is decent but compare it to forza games were they add hundreds if cars
If I were wheel sim enthusiast who liked the previous games I'd be annoyed of how it turned out but, as someone who has always played the racing games with a controller. I'm OK with it! I've been enjoying it for what it is!
0:43 That damn flickering is in everywhere these days 😒
Project cars 3 is much better than pc2 in controls on controller. Its super strange how hypercars drift with the speed 300kmh all over rhe race. Game need some stability on pc
Conclusion: project cars 3 is a cash grab and also inferior compared to project cars 2
I'm still playing it
Same game
Fun Fact: Project Cars 2 which has a Number Plate Named WMD 2018, But In Other versions in Project Cars 2 In Verion 7, The Number plate Changes to WMD 2017!!!
But that is the year when Project Cars 2 was Created!!! So why do number plates Change every Version! WMD 2018 Is not the Original Number plate!!! But some players have that!!!
My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined
change it to my year.
stop being babies, the game is brand new and it needs time.
@@Project-2004 ah yes paying a unfinished game 👌
Reviewbrah
@Doodle Noodle I'm 12 and I'm just defending the game.
EXCELLENT video as always, Nick930!
But I do think that Project Cars 1 beats both games in terms of the sound of the vehicles - It would be more interesting of you had included PC1 in this comparison.
I just hope that Project Cars 4 goes back to it's roots being a sim again, rather than arcade.
PC1: Sound
PC2: Physics
PC3: More content
With so many differences between PC2 and PC3 I feel comparing them graphically is like comparing apples and oranges. PC2 is a semi-decent racing sim you'd want to drive with a steering wheel and PC3 is a NFS style arcade that looks like a mobile game and you'd want to play it as such, with a gamepad.
this is the exact reason i still bought PC2 while knowing full well that PC3 was already out
I think graphically, I'd consider drive club to be the gold standard.... And is it just me or is the sound muddier? Keeping my PC2
I know most of this community is just graphics related but guys the physics and features from pc2 is just gone in pc3 just so ya'll know, they did remove pit stops, tire wear, fuel usage, 24hr racing, better controlable weather options etc
Wait...so there's a downgrade on track numbers? How is that even allowed??????? Jesus Christ
@C Liu Which one ? Can't be Spa - it's in practically every racing game ahah.
@C Liu now colour me surprised. Always thought the Japanese tracks were the most expensive
Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. ~ Exodus 20:7 KJV
That sound comparison was a hard one, they DEFINITELY sound the same...
Should've been delayed until 2021 and only be released on Ps5, Xbox Series X, and PC, forget the Ps4/XOne..
Lol no, not everyone has 500$ to put into a new console but i do agree that it should have been delayed
What use is it looking at a screen shot? Who cares if the grass is shorter? Who cares that the shadows have jaggy edges? What they have done is make the game FUN. Why can't sim fanboys just enjoy a racing game and race? Why is there always this crying about sim and arcade. Its fun. The cars have grip, you still have to brake and drive the racing line if you want good times. Its nothing like NFS, that statement just says you're a sim fanboy and you don't know how to have FUN. Managing tyres, fuel and pit stops maybe part of real life racing, but it does not add fun to a GAME. The point of a racing GAME, is to RACE cars you will never be able to own and have FUN. So project cars 3 won't be played and enjoyed by a few sim fanboys, thats ok, it will sell and be a great racing game because its fun and it looks great.
Damn this a really expensive dlc
So it's 2020 and nobody can yet replicate Driveclub's rain effects
Its like a down-grade...i dont get it...i dont wanna add a boost to my racecar, i would rather some more real car physics
Project 3 is fun enough to play so everything OK. The thing I hate is shear amount of bugs. Like if you click to exit, everything just freezes. You can exit only by turning off the PC. Crappy made game to make some (and some I mean a lot) income.
Apparently, this is the same studio that made Fast and Furious: Crossroads...
Correct
Myea, but my theory for that piece of garbage being garbage is because that's Bandai Namco obtaining an license and telling one of their development teams to just get it done. And then you get Slightly Mad like "But we really need to do Project Cars 3 well done.", so they halfass it because of the lack of resources and you get a game that looks like a movie license game from 2007 or something. - They did one that's probably worse, which would be some kind of Red Bull Racing kind of game. Another example of a license type product.
@@michaelmonstar4276
SMS was an independent developer until Codemasters bought the studio.
@@michaelmonstar4276 Also, Namco publishes their games, they don't actually have a say in development.
@@sunnyliu9820 But I highly doubt it's Slightly Mad Studios going "Oh yea, let's purchase the license for a whole lot of money and make a game right as we're developing Project Cars 3 and make it really poorly and sell it that way.". - It must've been Namco if not Codemasters putting them up with that. - It can't be the developer choosing this, why would they do that to themselves.
Project cars 1 was a game changer, great sim. Now I’m not too sure what’s going on.
Those things coulda been done with patches to PC2.. Thanks, wont be buying
TheKal If they had patched PC2 into this, it would have ruined it. PC2 on consoles at least, is still the best all round sim we have.
@@1RolandG70 i just ment that there's nothing ground-breaking in PC3. I love 2 as it is. But they could have patched the smokeeffects, shadows ect.
TheKal Actually, PC2 shipped with similar excessive smoke effects, and they were patched out when the community said how unrealistic they were. I guess this shows the difference in priorities between the intended market for PC2 and the one for PC3. Forget realistic, does it look mAd sIcK yO bRo?! 🙄🤪😂
Another great comparison Kermit
What is going on BTS at SMS?
F&F: Crossroads and a (maybe) re-skinned PC2?
Codemasters. Simple as that...
I liked how project cars 2 took some skill to control the cars
