We will be getting Test Drive Ferrari from these guys at least!

1967 Ferrari 312's on console, that's what I want Very Happy

AI is something they do so well. Even SHIFT 2 the AI completely outshines FM3's by a long way!!!

finally saw the 'Connecticut Hill' videos chris posted on the previous page.... so misleading!! calling it Connecticut, i thought it was Lime Rock Park, as soon as the car left the pits i knew it was Watkins Glen, which is in NEW YORK. does SMS not have official liscencing to name the track as it actually is??

by nickyf1 Sat 3 Dec 2011 - 13:54

Well, no, otherwise they would have called it Watkins Glen wouldn't they have?

All I can say is "BLOODY HELL!!" if this is the quality of graphics we can expect from sims of the future! Shame the handling is still apparently "very Shift 2" in CARS, but if this level of detail can come up in other sims in development, it's gonna be eye candy galore!

yep confirmed by piston heads members it the same wank handling as shift 2 but graphically looks great

You know what response they got when they criticised the handling they got kicked out of the beta.

So I guess EA did not screw up the handling on shift 2 it was the designers hahaha

by nickyf1 Wed 14 Dec 2011 - 14:51

No, no, no, you guys don't understand! The reason CARS feels like Shift 2 is because CARS is still extremely early on in its development process, and it runs on the Shift 2 engine! Working on these kinds of car models and what not will take time before they get round to the handling.

It's not even anywhere near alpha stage yet!

by **CQR Rogue** Wed 14 Dec 2011 - 15:03

Yea Nicky that's why they have kicked a number of users for criticising the early build.

we will see ...................................... affraid

by nickyf1 Wed 14 Dec 2011 - 15:38

Anyone criticising such an early build is a moron.

by **CQR Aero** Wed 14 Dec 2011 - 16:15

Sorry, but that argument is just wrong. Having worked for a games company I know for a fact that anyone with an ounce of sense would work on the mechanics first. Our games always started out with virtually "block models" in the early stages. There's no way they'd put so much effort into the graphics first, that's be like making a really beautiful house without checking that you're building it on firm ground, let alone putting in foundations.

The only explanation for using the Shift 2 engine if that is indeed what they've done, is if they're happy with it, or prepared to "work out the kinks", but unfortunately, that's like trying to polish a turd!

by **Matt** Wed 14 Dec 2011 - 16:21

Well.... it's a very pretty turd! lol
Need to give this a go with the wheel in the new year. See what the score is.

by **CQR Rogue** Wed 14 Dec 2011 - 16:53

Matt its super polished turd with bells hahaha

by **Richy59** Wed 14 Dec 2011 - 23:26

...I liked Shift 2 Embarassed

by **Matt** Thu 15 Dec 2011 - 7:38

Well so did I Richy. It'll be one of the first games I try my wheel with.

by **CQR Rogue** Thu 15 Dec 2011 - 8:11

hahaha that makes me laugh as you will have to counter steer all they way down the straight

by Guest Thu 15 Dec 2011 - 9:59

shift 2 proved pretty and immersion cant beat control and handling in a sim racing game!!!! Otherwise shift 2 would be very popular.

On the flip side, Race Pro proved graphics are just as important for a success!

If SMS could get the handling physics right on Project C.A.R.S. it has the potential to be a competition crusher - so stunning to look at. Such a shame that at the moment they seem to be being pig-headed about their handling engine, and not listening to the testers' comments/reuqests.

by Duke of Bruno Fri 16 Mar 2012 - 14:29

wow

by Guest Fri 16 Mar 2012 - 16:36

a couple of the CQR chaps play this and say it's awesome.

by **CQR Rogue** Fri 16 Mar 2012 - 18:01

Yea Matt, are they been paid, I spoke and know ppl I raced on rfactor VLN mod that they got kicked off beta due to asking why the handling feels like a console and not a sim? still will give a go

by **CQR Aero** Fri 23 Mar 2012 - 13:45

Gulp. Reeeally want to race on these point to point tracks!
