The original Project CARS was… Alright, we suppose. If memory serves, the Slightly Mad Studios developed simulation sold rather well on the PlayStation 4, and probably owed much of its success to the absence of Gran Turismo Sport on the console. It's, of course, worth mentioning that Polyphony Digital's new-gen debut is still not out; it got delayed towards the tail-end of last year.
What were we talking about? Oh right, Project CARS 2 is coming. The developer announced in a forum post that there's still quite a bit of work to do, but we can expect it "Septemberish". That, in game development terms, means that you can probably look forward to it early next year. You know how these things go.
The good news is that there'll be no missing major manufacturers on this lap, which means that Porsche, Ferrari, and Lamborghini should all make the grade. There'll also be some brand new classes this time out, like Rallycross. But yeah, that's all she wrote for now. Project CARS 2: a game that is very much in development.

You guys bought a driving wheel or got one for Christmas? #wheelgate
@themcnoisy Hahaha! #NeverForget
I absolutely loved Slightly Mad Studios' Shift games... but I didn't like Project Cars at all. It was a neat car simulator but I just didn't find it fun at all. I'll keep an eye on this sequel but I can't say I'm excited for it.
I wonder if they are planning it for Switch so they can cancel it last minute?
You clearly arent a fan of the racing sim genre or all the above would have been old news.
Its very much in development you are correct, its at the qaulity assurance stage of development. But again if you researched a little more then you would know that but the fact you havnt just proves you dont care. Pcars was huge on ps4 so of course the follow up was coming and the success of this game helped assetto corsa port over to console. If gt sport was on ps4 pcars still would have sold as its different in many ways in terms of the racing it brings and how it delivers it.
I usually enjoy push sqaure material but this was crap.
The original is ok but had glitchy menu's which annoyed me...
Meh, I was really disappointed by the original. Soulless and sterile. Will stick to GT for the time being and hope a good arcade/kart style racer comes along to fill the void on the other end of the spectrum.
@Nxtgenr_phil I would counter that and say the lack of car games massively benefitted Project Cars. My brother In law picked up the original in the current psn sale after Dirt and Driveclub he doesn't have a driving game to play. You can bet your bottom dollar if GT was out his voucher would be spent on that instead.
Either way its good to have choice and if GT gets delayed then PC2 can fill that void and I would definitely be tempted.
This will probably be the version that most expected originally. The first was a good sim but they need to improve the career side to actually make it interesting. Oh and sort the AI, which went from sublime to stupid in the space of a lap at times.
Sammy, if my memory serves me correctly, you're a big fan of Driveclub. Why did you like that game but not Project Cars?
@Nxtgenr_phil Definitely a arcade type crowd here! Drive Club was a big hit in these parts, which was akin to mario kart in regards to driving physics.
Really cool game with nice cars, def buying it!
Is Assetto Corsa any good, though? Currently on sale in my country (Kazakhstan, of course). I likes!
