Delayed yet again (only by a couple of weeks this time, mind).

 

Slightly Mad Studios and BANDAI NAMCO Games Europe S.A.S today confirmed that Project CARS will be available for PlayStation

Haven't been following this, will CARS feature car damage?

Yeah, it's got both cosmetic and mechanical damage, but it is on the soft side - especially the cosmetic damage - as this comparison with BeamNG.drive shows...

So, is this really going to be better the Gran Turismo and Forza?  

 

(maybe too early to ask , but people have being playing beta, no?

In terms of gameplay, I think it already runs rings around both of them (especially Forza). It's not the best all-around, though; Assetto Corsa has better physics, for example. Graphics-wise, it's usually compared with Driveclub, and it's close there, but I think pCARS still comes out on top (provided it's dry; Driveclub's rain effects are pretty amazing).

Gameplay, Forza runs rings around this game (not to mention, RacePro does as well). Not even sure GT is a contender anymore though. Sadly, the SHIFT physics in this game is dramatically holding it back. But I haven't played the latest available builds, so hopefully they have gone back to the drawing board there.

 

Oh, and DELAYED AGAIN.

At least they're offering free content this time as an apology. http://www.videogamer.com/ps4/project_cars/news/project_cars_delayed_to_may_but_game_is_99_9_complete.html

I am buying it day one, even if it was released early. Got to get my racing fetish on.

I think I'm being overly cynical here but... if the content is there to be given... why isn't that content just already part of the game anyway? 

 

This is just another game in a long list I'm slowly becoming less interested in because of the never ending delays. I'd rather have a more complete, working game released day one, but there is a few games that I was hyped for around launch of the XB1. A year and a bit on, I've just gone a bit meh on this and others :(

I know, I hate it too. Worst case scenario, it's probably just one of the pieces of content they offered up with the limited edition; probably the Modified Car Pack.

Funding it through WMD means I'm getting the limited edition content for free, anyway (as well as hopefully a decent "share of the game's sales returns", provided it sells well), so if they offer up something new instead, then bonus.

This game looks interesting but I was disappointed to learn about AMD cards getting very poor performance. A GeForce GTX 770 should never outperform a Radeon R9 290X. Those cards aren't even in the same performance category.

Yeah, that's AMD's fault for not contacting SMS as often as NVIDIA did. They are on the case now, at least, so things should improve soon. Ian Bell addressed it all...

    • You've tried DuckDuckGo and Brave Search, now get serious with SearXNG

      By Som · Posted

      I was using searxng for about a year , self hosted, but results were starting to timeout and eventually it became unusable so I switched to degoog. Much better for my needs, more polished and add-ons like maps and calculations etc

    • Laptop Processor Question

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, I am not as familiar with AMD CPUs as I am with Intel's, but as I understand it, that's a mid-range CPU from about three years ago.  I would think it to be fine for everyday casual-type use.  A larger SSD might be better, but with storage prices these days that's a decision that has to be carefully thought about. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.5

      By Copernic · Posted

      Ocenaudio 3.19.5 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.5 changelog: Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows (DirectSound and ASIO) Fixes several crashes and memory corruption issues Fixes opening several headerless files at once, which previously dropped all but one Improves batch export by suggesting and remembering the destination folder Fixes accented and non-Latin characters in VST plug-in and compressed-archive file names Adds zstd compression support and updates the archive library Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
