@@DemonLordGamingAC0 are you 12 years old? It's funny, you criticize GTs realism while giving a completely unrealistic critique lol there's a spectrum of realism in racing games and gt is far closer to the realistic end. Just because it pales in comparison to assetto corsa and rfactor 2 doesn't change the fact that it was the most realistic racing game on console until AC was released, and is still easily #2 (I don't count ACC. It has shit FFB anyways)
@Angelo Griffith Most top sims don't have realistic visual damage model too but they are still highly regards sims especially on PC. -> iRacing has visual damage only on specific racing cars that can have their panels detached from the body, most cars don't. -> ACC have very limited visual damage model where a hood might be lifted up slightly, scratches via normal and diffuse maps but all the body panels stick with the car and the deformation is faked with normal/bump map. -> rFactor is basically no visual damage unless you use a mod. rFactor 2 might have on certain cars. -> GT7 does have a mechanical damage model but it has to be enabled, the latest patch added new offline and online events with the damage model where a crash would result in your car to have less performance, stability and downforce, in terms of visual damage it is similar to ACC but no hood lifting. -> Project Cars has a decent visual damage model where body parts will detach but otherwise a mediocre sim so no one really cared. -> Forza 7 have physical soft body deform and scratches like in ACC but that's pretty much it (no loose parts). It's also quite unrealistic since cars don't deform like clay, body panel should crunch/fold. From all the sims I listed I think only rFactor 2 has terminal damage where you can't continue to drive after a crash. (also Dirt Rally but that's a different kind of sim) All sims listed here do have some sort of mechanical damage that affects cars performance and handling. So if the top sims out there don't have proper damage model, we shouldn't expect Gran Turismo to somehow over-exceed in this realm either. A sim that is played well with a controller doesn't make it less of a sim, in GT7 you can see the steering rack indicator HUD in the middle of your screen, when you play with a controller you can see the steering rack movement simulates the non-linear curve and dampening of steering input like in real-life which is smart instead of the linear instantaneous input of the joystick in most other racing games, that is why GT7 is very usable with a controller, only disadvantage is there is no force feedback and you can't be as consistent compared to using a wheel. The reason why most other sims don't play well with a controller because they haven't done a sophisticated steering rack translation model for the joysticks (low priority), not necessarily because the physics don't allow it.

This has all the realism and none of the hassle that real world drivers has to go though, simply taking simulation to the next, next level. We’ve gone ahead and teamed up with Disney and their expertise with their successful Cars series, to deliver the next groundbreaking piece of entertainment in simracing. Its now official that we will be responsible for bringing utter realism to the fourth entry in our series, as we’ll be handling the game tie in with the official CarsTM 4 movie. Our improved handling model includes both accelerating and breaking as well as occasionally tilting your device (or controller) for full control and realism. CarsTM 4 will launch on all devices (and consoles) on may 4th 2022 and will be our first game developers from the ground up to appeal to all ages of racing simulation fans” - SMS
Dude this is the best review I’ve ever seen!! You have a huge career in sim review if you can keep these up, seriously thank you I can tell a ton of work went into this, simply an awesome job! BEST REVIEW EVER!!
I was pulled-in by the title and once I realised the tack, I sat-back and admired the monocle-level defecating on SlightlyMad and their PR stance on their x86 compatible Real Racing 3 remake! a comment on Codemasters FB page said "like using AMG's workshop to build a stock Smart Car" subbed.
Forza Horizon has always been my fave sim racer before this (maybe NFS Heat as well), but the biblical proportions of the launch of this beautiful masterpiece change my opinion. PC3 is not just a sim racer, it can solve all the world problems. It will end all wars. It will end poverty. It will bring immortality to all life on earth. Random fact: If I had written down one positive about this game every day since the year 100 AD, I would only be 10% of the way through my list of positives about this piece of art. I look forward to when SMS release all the fairly priced dlc that is bound to come at some point in the future.
I shall recommend to an individual, as cultured as you, to try GRID and NFS Shift... the degree of realism, the racing experience is MINDBLOWING, like MY GOD. Try them, you'll be taken away by the HARDCORE SIMULATOR RACING EXPERIENCE... simply AMAZING
Oh yah clearly realistic irl. Real drivers go Yeeeet into turn one all the time look at Danny Ric and his legendary dive bombs. Re watches Danny Ric overtakes clearly Sms get it right on the money 😑
Love it! Just freed up as much space as I could deleting ACC, Rf2 and Raceroom for more important stuff like future physic updates from Codemasters, SMS and Mario Kart.
He's reviewing it as if it's a hardcore sim when it's not supposed to be that. It's a simcade and it's an absolute joy to play. It's massive fun! You sim snobs can turn your noses up and prance off snorting like prize winning racehorses but you're missing out on a FANTASTIC simcade racing experience with GREAT physics.
Timothy27778 I’m glad you enjoy it dude. But keep in mind it’s not just us elitist, snobby, egotistical sim purists that can’t find the fun in this title. Watch IGN’s review or a number of others cited on GT Planet. Also, whoooosh. If you think Ermin reviewed this as a hardcore sim, you’ve missed the joke. He referenced Slightly Mad’s own words, which touted PC3 as a sim.
@@SimRacing604 It's not an in depth sim but its simulation of car physics is great IMO. IGNs review is weird. So you can't race more than 99 laps- who wants a single race that lasts more than 6 hours? His objection to the classes is weird. Who cares that the sesto elemento is in that class? It has comparable performance. I could go on but I'm getting back to PC3. It doesn't deserve the hate.
My mind is blown right now having learned you did the master mix on some of my all-time favorite albums, Hail Stan, Doomsday, Periphery III. Awesome man 🤘
This is the best review i've seen for a hardcore simracing game focused for us nerdy sim racers. Thanks for this informative and highly impactful review!
Man, I have to say, this was my first time on the channel. When I saw this video title in the suggested videos, I was like "Is this guy on drugs". After I watched the entire video, I have to say: BRAVO!! Brilliant :D So much fun and honesty xD
Based on how glowingly positive this review is, it's completely obvious it was paid for by SMS! This review will definitely result in thousands of additional sales, especially from the sim crowd. 😎
As if any normal person was going to fall for Ian Bellend telling us how pc3 was gonna be a game changer ! How it’ll do this and do that straight out the box. I remember someone’s comment after pc1 about if he ever met Ian bellend he would crack his jaw.....well join the queue ! I used to comment daily on insta Facebook and Twitter about how it should be seen as fraud to tell a buyer that a product will do something and it does nothing like it was said. Always look at the name ‘Ian Bell’ for any future game release and take a step back from his vile lies.
I like the red frame that appears if you hit something as it also be used in other hardcore simulations such as Call of duty Thats a great addition to sim racing... 👍
LOL....I loved every second of this review. But you forgot to mention one very important point that most sim races love! All sim racers love to play multiplayer with players that love to play arcade games. The mixture of competing with such talent means that sim racers will further enhance their experience by benefitting from the vast driving standards that all arcade racers adhere to. :)
I think that’s a bit sad though, even though PCars and PC2 didn’t live up to the expectations placed on them they were on the right trajectory. For all it’s flaws, and there are many, PC2 is still a decent attempt at a “survey sim” for racing series.
Codemasters think you guys ought to come out your rigs and stretch a little bit 😂... I did with PC3 for about 1 hour of fun with my 5 year old on a controller. Now that he's sleep back in the rig for some sim racing. See guys perspective.
Dear Ermin, thank you for the in-depth review of this video arcade racing game. I really don't want to waste my time typing facts we all know about this game, nor do I want to waste your time reading, but not only have I made up my mind about NOT purchasing this game, but also as someone have said in the comments to look out for "Ian Bell" in any future games. I really hope you make your money back.
But he's an idiot, he's reviewing it as if it's a hardcore sim when it's not supposed to be that. It's a simcade and it's an absolute joy to play. It's massive fun! You sim snobs can turn your noses up and prance off snorting like prize winning racehorses but you're missing out on a FANTASTIC simcade racing experience with GREAT physics.
Very very good video. Brilliantly executed. I really hope someone with no sense of sarcasm watches this and rants at you. Well played sir, well played 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
To think all of this could've been avoided by the developers just being honest about it being an arcade game. The game itself is not the problem. Their marketing is, and that's pretty sad tbqh
No it's not just marketing. This game is an obnoxious cash grab. Simplified version of an old product with little to no effort put into it. Recycled content, idiotic design choices.
@@digitalcamaro9708 to be honest, the game itself as an arcade racer (which I like too) isn't good either. Bugs everyhwere, upgrade systems/decals/paint jobs are half baked compared to competitive titles in the arcade realm. Graphical bugs keep cropping up. No rumble on xbox controllers (because even in arcade, no QA testing is required). This is not a good show, not for sim, but not for arcade lovers either.
All of that for just $135. A gift from the Gods. I'm surprised they left out the loot boxes which are becoming the norm in real-life racing, I'd have loved paying some extra money for a pair of furry dice or something.
Just spent 4 hours playing it. I genuinely enjoyed it. I haven't played the previous games so I comment on it as a sequel. This game has good physics, progression pacing, and upgrades/tuning. I don't get why so many people are upset... I guess it's cool to hate on things these days.
Because its not, previous 2 games weren't ideal,but i enjoyed them because they were fun,but 3 is just a mess,promises a simcade delivers an arcade mess
Project Cars 3 can be fun but it's got annoying quirks like not allowing to change motor parts configuration in the tuning menu when in career mode. You must install the parts before entering the race event if you want to tune them. You cannot for example try out better tyres instead of fuel injection, or better brakes instead of suspension. You must do it before to find the right combination of parts to stay in the car classification. Career mode can be challenging to achieve the objectives in order to progress and unlock higher tier events. Your choice of car, driving skills, and your knowledge of tuning the car correctly, are put to the test. (This is the fun part) You get only money if the tiers level up of your driver profile level. You get that from achieving event objectives and driver milestones. The latest update locks you out of the milestone progress which blocks unlocking other events (Invitational events) and levelling up your driver's level. Replays can only be watched if you save them and you can only have 15 saved or 1GB max. Project Cars 3 has great handling physics for a simcade, at times great graphics, great car and track list, great menu music. But it has these dumb design decisions I mentioned. If the progress system had not been locked I could almost recommend this game. Played on PS4 with controller.
Best review ever 👌😂 But joke aside. It's really sad where this title which is still called "Project Cars" is now. Well done Codemasters/SMS for just ignoring thousands of investors (=sim racers) who originally funded this game👏
RazorGaming I guarantee one thing. If this game tanks as bad as Shift2 did, the sim community won’t ever buy his BS again. That bridge has burnt to the bedrock. Fool me once...
ThePandafriend Opinions vary... on console, on a wheel, it was a mess. Bottom line, if the direction was so good, if the game wasn’t beaten badly by its competition, why did Ian Bell do a complete 180° for the next two games?
@Joey Farrell Yeah that might be right but PC2 at least had some improvements to the original sim racing oriented PC1 (ignoring now that we had to buy a new game for this) and I am finding it very suspicious that since Codemasters is on board the game made a 180° turn (no tire/fuel consumption and therefore no pit stops). But maybe I am missing something there.
Forza Horizon has always been my fave sim racer before this (maybe NFS Heat as well), but the biblical proportions of the launch of this beautiful masterpiece change my opinion. PC3 is not just a sim racer, it can solve all the world problems. It will end all wars. It will end poverty. It will bring immortality to all life on earth.

@@efeick2002 Mate you are certifiably wrong, hate to break it to you. Need for speed has set the sim racing bar for about 69 years, followed by test drive unlimited and mario kart
Sadly I was one of those early backers for "Project cars", the game under delivered & made me sick with how much content was cut from the base game & then charged as paid DLC!
I liked PC2. ACC is amazing even with its console bugs. PC3 reminds me of the arcade racing games that you had a go in at Brighton pier in the 80's. One I will be missing for sure!
Patiently waiting for Nathan Bell to reply to this one...lol Great work as usual Ermin, thanx for this. Knew I'd not have to spend a penny on this game as soon as I seen your fist vid. 👌
The perfect racing experience. From the studio that brought you SMASH HITS such as Fast and Furious: Crossroads! Gee Ermin, you really dropped the ball not turning your assists off and watching this game magically turn into the true Assetto Corsa killer it was meant to be!!
The fact that I can listen to SiCk Beats now while doing sim racing makes this a buy for sure. Sound like you really liked it . Thank you for your honest review
I see your video and said to myself, “wow PC3 is here already”? Reads , I bought it so you don’t have to. I’m a sim fan and was looking forward to SMS finally putting together a solid sim after two games of not quite getting it right. Third times a charm ! I appreciate you buying this game so I don’t have to. What a sham and a mockery to sim racers. Who the hell decided to take this game in this direction? Any chances SMS had for redeeming itself is pissed in the wind. Unbelievable. Great video. Sad this game is so bad that sarcasm is all that is left. This video has saved many of sim racers outrage. Subscribed
Thank you for this Video Ermin. We laughed the entire way through. What you have done is stop our entire PC1 and PC2 Community to not go and get PC3 just to try it out for themselves. That is not the type of racing the 100+ community wants to be driving. We are however interested in the Mobile version of the game though. Hahaha
Is it just me, or this game wasn't advertised as a hardcore sim at all? It wasn't supposed to compete with RF2 and ACC. It was clearly advertised to be more accessible. But I get it, it's not what the Project Cars franchise was supposed to be
Today I learned that Ermin, one of my favorite Mastering Engineers (I own and live by his Systematic Mixing Guide), is avidly into Simracing and fucking HILARIOUS. This was glorious.
It took me about 12 minutes before I realized that this is one of the most brilliant examples of sarcasm I have ever had the privilege of watcing!! Well done, Ermin. Did anyone notice that you could customize your car with decals of RUclipsrs Chris Haye and Yorkie?
If they got one thing right, it's that SMS managed to fulfill codemasters 1 main goal for a racing game, that you must be able to overtake all opponents on the first corner no matter how high the difficulty is set :P
Brilliant, I love that you never hold back. We need more guys like you instead of the guys that shill for crap games because they got an early access copy. Also, the goddamn Bell brothers 🤢

Guinness world record for sarcasm. In all seriousness, a revealing and thorough review. So much video evidence supporting why this is the ‘best sim ever!’
I made my last comment before I'd watched the video. This is an absolute sarcasm masterclass. I was crying! Well done on the amazing work Ermin! Thanks for buying this game so I don't have to, The pitlanes are directly from Real Racing 3.
Very entertaining, Ermin. Your dripping sarcasm and biting irony nicely expose SMS's marketing and pr for what they really are, lies, false promises, deceit. Everything to promote a game that in fact nobody needs. RIP "Project CARS".

A Project CARS mobile game is in development.
ThePandafriend in 1 year - “After we received thrilling feedback from the community we’ve decided to take a bold step for our next project simply titled “Cars 4”. This has all the realism and none of the hassle that real world drivers has to go though, simply taking simulation to the next, next level. We’ve gone ahead and teamed up with Disney and their expertise with their successful Cars series, to deliver the next groundbreaking piece of entertainment in simracing. Its now official that we will be responsible for bringing utter realism to the fourth entry in our series, as we’ll be handling the game tie in with the official CarsTM 4 movie. Our improved handling model includes both accelerating and breaking as well as occasionally tilting your device (or controller) for full control and realism. CarsTM 4 will launch on all devices (and consoles) on may 4th 2022 and will be our first game developers from the ground up to appeal to all ages of racing simulation fans” - SMS
so ironic, now ea has codies.
EA Killed the Project Cars franchise.
It's over 😂.
PC3 was the last one 😢
Dude this is the best review I’ve ever seen!! You have a huge career in sim review if you can keep these up, seriously thank you I can tell a ton of work went into this, simply an awesome job! BEST REVIEW EVER!!
I was pulled-in by the title and once I realised the tack, I sat-back and admired the monocle-level defecating on SlightlyMad and their PR stance on their x86 compatible Real Racing 3 remake!
a comment on Codemasters FB page said "like using AMG's workshop to build a stock Smart Car"
subbed.
I feel Real Racing has a much less childish looking UI. This one's is more like Asphalt Extreme.
Forza Horizon has always been my fave sim racer before this (maybe NFS Heat as well), but the biblical proportions of the launch of this beautiful masterpiece change my opinion.
PC3 is not just a sim racer, it can solve all the world problems.
It will end all wars.
It will end poverty.
It will bring immortality to all life on earth.
Random fact: If I had written down one positive about this game every day since the year 100 AD, I would only be 10% of the way through my list of positives about this piece of art.
I look forward to when SMS release all the fairly priced dlc that is bound to come at some point in the future.
I shall recommend to an individual, as cultured as you, to try GRID and NFS Shift... the degree of realism, the racing experience is MINDBLOWING, like MY GOD. Try them, you'll be taken away by the HARDCORE SIMULATOR RACING EXPERIENCE... simply AMAZING
:30 "And this, Boys and Girls, is how to go from 16th to 1st is one, glorious dive-bomb!"
Just like real life then. They nailed every aspect of this game, well done sms 👏
Oh yah clearly realistic irl. Real drivers go Yeeeet into turn one all the time look at Danny Ric and his legendary dive bombs.
Re watches Danny Ric overtakes clearly Sms get it right on the money 😑
Cmon, who hasn't done this at least once in a game of Forza though 😆
Love it! Just freed up as much space as I could deleting ACC, Rf2 and Raceroom for more important stuff like future physic updates from Codemasters, SMS and Mario Kart.
same
I'm having a new appreciation of Forza Horizon 4 handling.
Forza horizon 4 is supposed to be wack though
@@andrewputnam2717 yea it's an arcade game, i bought pc2 recently and it's handling feels way more realistic
That really makes it a new low.
When the trailer for pcars3 drop i was "ooooh boy wow just wow", looked like hotwheels but dipped in cooking oil to give it that extra shine.
Literally just looked at your channel, like “weird that I haven’t heard anything from Ermin about Project CARS 3” 😂😂
Your intuition guides you well, Mike. Literally within the minute it was posted 😂
@@Ermz I bet he's got a nose for it. Smells it a mile away and a decade into the future, like my grandmother does with people that use garlic. 😂
He's reviewing it as if it's a hardcore sim when it's not supposed to be that. It's a simcade and it's an absolute joy to play. It's massive fun! You sim snobs can turn your noses up and prance off snorting like prize winning racehorses but you're missing out on a FANTASTIC simcade racing experience with GREAT physics.
Timothy27778 I’m glad you enjoy it dude. But keep in mind it’s not just us elitist, snobby, egotistical sim purists that can’t find the fun in this title. Watch IGN’s review or a number of others cited on GT Planet. Also, whoooosh. If you think Ermin reviewed this as a hardcore sim, you’ve missed the joke. He referenced Slightly Mad’s own words, which touted PC3 as a sim.
@@SimRacing604 It's not an in depth sim but its simulation of car physics is great IMO. IGNs review is weird. So you can't race more than 99 laps- who wants a single race that lasts more than 6 hours? His objection to the classes is weird. Who cares that the sesto elemento is in that class? It has comparable performance. I could go on but I'm getting back to PC3. It doesn't deserve the hate.
12:18 lmao that license plate
"once I work out how to get into the pit lane"
You sir, today, have won the internetz!
Fracking brilliant.
Facts.... I cried 😭😭😭😭
My mind is blown right now having learned you did the master mix on some of my all-time favorite albums, Hail Stan, Doomsday, Periphery III. Awesome man 🤘
🍾 Score: 11/10 For a true sim game so so amazing that I don’t deserve to buy it and therefore never will 👍👍👍
😂
This is the best review i've seen for a hardcore simracing game focused for us nerdy sim racers. Thanks for this informative and highly impactful review!
I actually got an ad for PC3 about 2/3 into this “review” 🤣😂🤣
You and me both!
I didn't. I can afford premium.

Great work! I love that pit entry sequence! You really need to deserve acceptance in that endurance racing club... we don't seem to be in...
They are getting eviscerating reviews everywhere and rightly so, this is a pathetic cash grab. What a joke
Man, I have to say, this was my first time on the channel.
When I saw this video title in the suggested videos, I was like "Is this guy on drugs".
After I watched the entire video, I have to say: BRAVO!! Brilliant :D
So much fun and honesty xD
Based on how glowingly positive this review is, it's completely obvious it was paid for by SMS! This review will definitely result in thousands of additional sales, especially from the sim crowd. 😎
Bought the game cause of this review. Didn’t disappoint at all so much that I set it on fire cause of how good it was
I pee on my pants with fascination of not needing to pitstop anymore, perfected in pure indulgence driving on a sky-surfing hybrid tires
I hope the blokes at Slightly Mad are used to Australian sarcasm. Such nuance Ermz. Subscribed.
As if any normal person was going to fall for Ian Bellend telling us how pc3 was gonna be a game changer ! How it’ll do this and do that straight out the box.
I remember someone’s comment after pc1 about if he ever met Ian bellend he would crack his jaw.....well join the queue !
I used to comment daily on insta Facebook and Twitter about how it should be seen as fraud to tell a buyer that a product will do something and it does nothing like it was said.
Always look at the name ‘Ian Bell’ for any future game release and take a step back from his vile lies.
19:18 my GOD this shot looks straight out of Toca Race Driver.
I like the red frame that appears if you hit something as it also be used in other hardcore simulations such as Call of duty
Thats a great addition to sim racing... 👍
Just like real life. Truly takes magnificent step to next gen gaming
LOL....I loved every second of this review. But you forgot to mention one very important point that most sim races love! All sim racers love to play multiplayer with players that love to play arcade games. The mixture of competing with such talent means that sim racers will further enhance their experience by benefitting from the vast driving standards that all arcade racers adhere to. :)
the only positive outcome of that mess is knowing with a big degree of certainty that the pcars franchise is now totally dead, gone, extinct.
Sad part is that people will buy it.
I think that’s a bit sad though, even though PCars and PC2 didn’t live up to the expectations placed on them they were on the right trajectory.
For all it’s flaws, and there are many, PC2 is still a decent attempt at a “survey sim” for racing series.
Codemasters think you guys ought to come out your rigs and stretch a little bit 😂... I did with PC3 for about 1 hour of fun with my 5 year old on a controller. Now that he's sleep back in the rig for some sim racing. See guys perspective.
RevRideReason- ok so PC3 is just about good enough for a 5 year old. I guess it’s a good place to start indoctrination.
@@SimRacingVeteran still good for something my friend. 😉
I'm not sure I've ever witnessed such a sustained commitment to sarcasm in a video review. Tremendous!
Actually, even IGN gave it a fair review, I was rather surprised.
LOL IGN. They lost it years ago.
@@laurasfar18 Out of all IGN reviewers, Luke Reilly is actually the most competent, especially in racing games. Dude really knows his stuff.
Review nailed. 11/10 will definitely never put another penny down an SMS product.
Stop, stop! It’s already dead!
oh hey, it's Misha from Audi Sport
Hello there amazing man
That "Clean take over" popping a few seconds after ramming the leader XD
wow the old pc2 looks notably better visually when you see them side by side, this game will appeal to no one
I think it is because the horrible anti aliasing. You can't turn it off, so the picture is always blurry.
@@Nago15 I turn off antialiasing in every game aside from MSFS 2020, because it makes the game look way crisper and runs better. Win win
Pc2 graphics are amazing. This game is worse than a mobile phone.
Dear Ermin, thank you for the in-depth review of this video arcade racing game. I really don't want to waste my time typing facts we all know about this game, nor do I want to waste your time reading, but not only have I made up my mind about NOT purchasing this game, but also as someone have said in the comments to look out for "Ian Bell" in any future games. I really hope you make your money back.
I wish there was a button stronger than "like" that I could click on. This was epic.
But he's an idiot, he's reviewing it as if it's a hardcore sim when it's not supposed to be that. It's a simcade and it's an absolute joy to play. It's massive fun! You sim snobs can turn your noses up and prance off snorting like prize winning racehorses but you're missing out on a FANTASTIC simcade racing experience with GREAT physics.
Timothy27778 but if you wanted a simcade, go to forza, it’s better than this.
And they marketed it as a sim.
@@watermelonbanana1772 Forza has rewind which totally kills the tension. I know you can just not use it. But if it's there then it's there.
@@Timothy27778 lol you are too much a fanboy of sms, now stop defending it, 12 year old
@@user-fd4il6pi9i I'm actually 42. I'll defend whatever I like.
Very very good video. Brilliantly executed. I really hope someone with no sense of sarcasm watches this and rants at you. Well played sir, well played 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Damn, the sarcasm is unreal, i hope people realize, if not, Im sorry for you
I didn't realize till I read the comments.
I'll be honest it took me more minutes than I would like to admit to see the sarcasm.
Just had an argument with a guy on twitter that thinks the game is "really good" and worth spending £90 on. Lost cause sadly.
What he loves the game it's his favorite sim now
At least someone has the balls to call it what it is, a huge joke.
To think all of this could've been avoided by the developers just being honest about it being an arcade game. The game itself is not the problem. Their marketing is, and that's pretty sad tbqh
Nothing else, just that
Seriously. In essence it's a fine game, but they fucked the marketing up. Too bad I gotta buy and stream it for curious viewers.
No it's not just marketing. This game is an obnoxious cash grab. Simplified version of an old product with little to no effort put into it. Recycled content, idiotic design choices.
@@ErwinLiszkowicz If they were gonna cash grab they would've done a better job marketing it 💀.
@@digitalcamaro9708 to be honest, the game itself as an arcade racer (which I like too) isn't good either. Bugs everyhwere, upgrade systems/decals/paint jobs are half baked compared to competitive titles in the arcade realm. Graphical bugs keep cropping up. No rumble on xbox controllers (because even in arcade, no QA testing is required). This is not a good show, not for sim, but not for arcade lovers either.
Ermin: it doesn’t have damage system, which is good
Also Ermin: BeamNG is my favorite sim
All of that for just $135. A gift from the Gods. I'm surprised they left out the loot boxes which are becoming the norm in real-life racing, I'd have loved paying some extra money for a pair of furry dice or something.
I just can't... wow.
It's AUD. Still pretty expensive though.
Just spent 4 hours playing it. I genuinely enjoyed it. I haven't played the previous games so I comment on it as a sequel. This game has good physics, progression pacing, and upgrades/tuning. I don't get why so many people are upset... I guess it's cool to hate on things these days.
Because its not, previous 2 games weren't ideal,but i enjoyed them because they were fun,but 3 is just a mess,promises a simcade delivers an arcade mess
This video is a masterpiece. But Im also crying interally
Project Cars 3 can be fun but it's got annoying quirks like not allowing to change motor parts configuration in the tuning menu when in career mode. You must install the parts before entering the race event if you want to tune them. You cannot for example try out better tyres instead of fuel injection, or better brakes instead of suspension. You must do it before to find the right combination of parts to stay in the car classification.
Career mode can be challenging to achieve the objectives in order to progress and unlock higher tier events. Your choice of car, driving skills, and your knowledge of tuning the car correctly, are put to the test. (This is the fun part)
You get only money if the tiers level up of your driver profile level. You get that from achieving event objectives and driver milestones.
The latest update locks you out of the milestone progress which blocks unlocking other events (Invitational events) and levelling up your driver's level.
Replays can only be watched if you save them and you can only have 15 saved or 1GB max.
Project Cars 3 has great handling physics for a simcade, at times great graphics, great car and track list, great menu music. But it has these dumb design decisions I mentioned. If the progress system had not been locked I could almost recommend this game. Played on PS4 with controller.
Best review ever 👌😂
But joke aside. It's really sad where this title which is still called "Project Cars" is now. Well done Codemasters/SMS for just ignoring thousands of investors (=sim racers) who originally funded this game👏
RazorGaming I guarantee one thing. If this game tanks as bad as Shift2 did, the sim community won’t ever buy his BS again. That bridge has burnt to the bedrock. Fool me once...
@@1RolandG70
Shift 2 was a pretty fun game though. Definitely not a sim, but nevertheless fun to play.
ThePandafriend Opinions vary... on console, on a wheel, it was a mess. Bottom line, if the direction was so good, if the game wasn’t beaten badly by its competition, why did Ian Bell do a complete 180° for the next two games?
@Joey Farrell Yeah that might be right but PC2 at least had some improvements to the original sim racing oriented PC1 (ignoring now that we had to buy a new game for this) and I am finding it very suspicious that since Codemasters is on board the game made a 180° turn (no tire/fuel consumption and therefore no pit stops). But maybe I am missing something there.
@@1RolandG70
Yep, it's just an opinion. I don't say that it's universal.
Had me going for a bit till he started talking about the tires.
This review was perfect (just like Project Cars 3 as a ultra realistic simulator). The bar has been set high for sims like ACC, RF2, and AMS2.
Forza Horizon has always been my fave sim racer before this (maybe NFS Heat as well), but the biblical proportions of the launch of this beautiful masterpiece change my opinion.
PC3 is not just a sim racer, it can solve all the world problems.
It will end all wars.
It will end poverty.
It will bring immortality to all life on earth.

@@efeick2002 Mate you are certifiably wrong, hate to break it to you. Need for speed has set the sim racing bar for about 69 years, followed by test drive unlimited and mario kart
@@robinthebobin6537 xddxdxdx
Sadly I was one of those early backers for "Project cars", the game under delivered & made me sick with how much content was cut from the base game & then charged as paid DLC!
I liked PC2. ACC is amazing even with its console bugs. PC3 reminds me of the arcade racing games that you had a go in at Brighton pier in the 80's. One I will be missing for sure!
The sarcasm is strong with this one.
I've seen a few of your vids, but >21min straight savagery will get my sub everytime.
Bravo sir, bravo.
Patiently waiting for Nathan Bell to reply to this one...lol Great work as usual Ermin, thanx for this. Knew I'd not have to spend a penny on this game as soon as I seen your fist vid. 👌
the passive aggressive tone on this video is absolutely amazing, love you ermz XD
The perfect racing experience. From the studio that brought you SMASH HITS such as Fast and Furious: Crossroads!
Gee Ermin, you really dropped the ball not turning your assists off and watching this game magically turn into the true Assetto Corsa killer it was meant to be!!
Thanks for the review. I remember when SMS crowdfunded PC2 and how well that was received.
The fact that I can listen to SiCk Beats now while doing sim racing makes this a buy for sure. Sound like you really liked it . Thank you for your honest review
Absolutely brilliant video, the longest time I will spend on PC3 :)
Really, SMS has made "The Room" of sim racing, so bad it's good.
Bit harsh on 'The Room.'
*shredded the tires after drifting halfway through Nordschleife*
"anyway, how's your tire life?"
@@michaelskoomamacher5652 ahah 👌
I see your video and said to myself, “wow PC3 is here already”? Reads , I bought it so you don’t have to. I’m a sim fan and was looking forward to SMS finally putting together a solid sim after two games of not quite getting it right. Third times a charm ! I appreciate you buying this game so I don’t have to. What a sham and a mockery to sim racers. Who the hell decided to take this game in this direction? Any chances SMS had for redeeming itself is pissed in the wind. Unbelievable. Great video. Sad this game is so bad that sarcasm is all that is left. This video has saved many of sim racers outrage. Subscribed
Thank you for this Video Ermin. We laughed the entire way through. What you have done is stop our entire PC1 and PC2 Community to not go and get PC3 just to try it out for themselves. That is not the type of racing the 100+ community wants to be driving.
We are however interested in the Mobile version of the game though. Hahaha
Is it just me, or this game wasn't advertised as a hardcore sim at all? It wasn't supposed to compete with RF2 and ACC. It was clearly advertised to be more accessible.
But I get it, it's not what the Project Cars franchise was supposed to be
"ring the Bell" LOL Good ending!
Today I learned that Ermin, one of my favorite Mastering Engineers (I own and live by his Systematic Mixing Guide), is avidly into Simracing and fucking HILARIOUS. This was glorious.
Looks like Shift 2 overdosed on Candy Crush and then throw up their guts out.
bruv I haven't seen anyone taking a piss over a game like this.
this channel deserves subscribers man
this a complete roast of the game, and its amazing lol
It took me about 12 minutes before I realized that this is one of the most brilliant examples of sarcasm I have ever had the privilege of watcing!! Well done, Ermin. Did anyone notice that you could customize your car with decals of RUclipsrs Chris Haye and Yorkie?
The only reason I’m thankful for this disgrace of a game is these 21 Minutes of saltiness and sarcasm
Amazing review. Best 21 mins in a long time lol 🤘
The sarcasm is soo on point.
If they got one thing right, it's that SMS managed to fulfill codemasters 1 main goal for a racing game, that you must be able to overtake all opponents on the first corner no matter how high the difficulty is set :P
Brilliant, I love that you never hold back. We need more guys like you instead of the guys that shill for crap games because they got an early access copy. Also, the goddamn Bell brothers 🤢
It's odd that the game @12:03 is promoting various youtubers via the decals. Wonder what went on there.
@@4879daniel jimmy Broadbent said they asked him if he wanted his logo in the game and Jimmy said yea sure. And never heard anything about it again until he saw it in game
The most sarcastic review ever and Slightymad deserved every single sentence. Great review bro
I laughed so hard at the title of this video!! Can’t wait for what kind of response you’ll get from SMS, they should make you part of their “honesty first” marketing department!
*"look how they massacred my boy!"*
I wonder how many people actually caught that ref...
@@bentruitt9401 I caught it and used that ref.

Just sent it to Ian Bell(end)s twitter feed, see what oblivious response we get.
Too bad, people already bought it
Guinness world record for sarcasm. In all seriousness, a revealing and thorough review. So much video evidence supporting why this is the ‘best sim ever!’
It took me half way through the video to realise he was taking the piss
Billy Mole and he just... kept.... pissing....
You convinced me that this is such a nice game. I will buy 1000 copies of it and just to express my gratitude to SMS
This is the Magnum Opus of sim racing. Time to cancel my iRacing subscription.
I made my last comment before I'd watched the video. This is an absolute sarcasm masterclass. I was crying! Well done on the amazing work Ermin! Thanks for buying this game so I don't have to, The pitlanes are directly from Real Racing 3.
Very entertaining, Ermin. Your dripping sarcasm and biting irony nicely expose SMS's marketing and pr for what they really are, lies, false promises, deceit. Everything to promote a game that in fact nobody needs. RIP "Project CARS".
I really like how subtle the small bits of sarcasm are.
