Hi everyone,
I would like to share with you guys a game that until February i didn’t knew it existed and since then it conquered my heart and my devotion.
Project CARS as the name says is a Community Assisted Racing Simulator being developed by Slightly Mad Studios the developers behind the Need for Speed: Shift and Shift 2 but without EA backing them up this time. The developers have a long history in the racing simulator world having worked on some of the most fabulous games of the past years, GTL, GTR, Need for Speed Shift Series, PGR and many more and decided that this was the time to make something that would be the game to beat in the next years in every way, visuals, gameplay and quality.
What does Community Assisted Racing Simulator means?
For a long time unfortunately we have been used to be in the dark when there’s a game in development, we can’t comment, give opinions or receive a feedback from the developers about our ideas and thoughts on the game until it’s too late and the game is out and then they will give no support because the publisher wants them to make another bad quality game quickly.
With Project CARS it is different, they want you to participate, you are essential to the game development, your constructive ideas area welcomed, if you live near some important race tracks they may even ask for your help to get reference images, they care about your opinion. This is something that may seem a dream but it isn’t, the reason why is because the community is the one funding the game, we support the developers and in return they give us constant feedback about the game progress and show that our opinion matters.
How does the funding work?
They supply you with different options called Tool/Perks, by supporting them they will give you something in return (free copy’s of the game when it comes out, your name ingame, exclusive cars and tracks) and in the meanwhile you can play the pre-alpha which is a in development version of the game that has weekly/monthly basis builds with new content and fixes.
What cars do they have?
Currently they have the following cars available:
There are many others coming soon, but the latest cars released are the 2012 BMW Z4 GT3 and the 1981 BMW Procar!
What about tracks ?
Most of these tracks are still in development thus there can be some lack of visual quality under the right conditions but its being worked on at a fast pace.
What will it be the plan behind the game ?
The concept they have is the following:
Gameplay wise i can say the game is very good, not perfect yet due to new tire model not being implemented yet but once it is the game will become one of the best currently in the market but it is progressing at a fast pace. Multiplayer is not available yet but it is expected to be in the next 2 months if nothing goes wrong.
