  • PCars 3 promised to be all the sim we could want, while also bringing all the fun and accessibility we could want. Is it possible that this game finally lived up to its goal, and revolutionized sim racing?

      @@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)

    • @paul2609
      @paul2609 Před 2 lety +4

      @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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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 CZcamsrs Chris Haye and Yorkie?

    It took me a while to understand that it is sarcasm rather than a review! It's really hard to tell with his plain narration, considering he normally speaks that way. Many times I was like, "Dude! You must be joking...?!?" Then I saw the pit stop mechanism and understood what this next-gen game review was all about...! 🤣

    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 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.

    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!’
