Good things :
Feature list is as good as it gets - weather, rain, hydroplaning, day night, seasons, snow, pit stops with animations...
Car list is badass for those of us who are more into race cars. There's like 15 GT3 cars...
Driving for the most part. Some cars are pretty good tbh.
Looks good, runs good.
Career mode gives something to SP mode.
Online system could - could - mean legit clean racing consistently for everyone.
LONG BEACH!
More rallycross content than a rally game. (lol)
VR. (it's implemented well and works, despite my complaints)
F Type SVR is the ultimate tire assassin.
Needs work things that could - should - get some work in future patches :
The AI. It needs a lot of work.
Penalty system. It needs a lot of work.
Some cars (Vintage cars) could do with some work.
Driving in the rain is super easy still but hydroplaning helps make it a experience besides just "95% grip racing."
Sounds are good, but a lot of cars don't even sound like the car they are replicating.
Class selection adding low drag cars to your race on a high drag circuit...
Racing rules / regulations.
FFB presets.
Sonoma won't turn green - the one track the whole season thing could have been awesome just stays brown.
Thing that dooms it :
AI is incredibly inconsistent from car to car, track to track and in varying weather.
Game's best features :
The gearbox shift sound from Project CARS 1 should be heard by no man ever again.
Being that one guy who is driving the ATS-V.R in an online race. She may not have the pace, but she's beautiful and you all should accept her for who she is.
Oh, and then winning. Something very satisfying about beating Ferraris, Audis, Lambos, Aston Martins, Porsches, BMWs - in a Cadillac.
Actual best feature :
Group C, GT1s, LMP900s, "like, all of the GT3s!!!!11!!11!1!!11!!!!", GTEs, IndyCars.... car list means business.
Should you buy it?
IDK, I kind of did a 43 minute video on that topic. I mean yea, this video is WAAY too long, but you clicked on it knowing full well it was a fking 43 minute long video so woe is me!
(Unless you really are ready for something else in driving games, wait for patches or a sale.)
