![]() We’ve reached out to Bandai Namco to ask about the old crowdfunding campaign, and will update this article with any information we receive. ![]() Slightly Mad has kept quiet about Project CARS 2 since then. That was less than two months after the release of Project CARS, and fans criticized the studio for discussing a sequel without fixing the numerous technical problems that were plaguing the game. But Slightly Mad actually announced Project CARS 2 way back in June 2015, and launched a crowdfunding campaign that aimed to raise nearly £7 million to fund the development of the game. “Realism and authenticity are central to our development mantra for Project CARS 2, hence we’re making sure we employ the best professional drivers, game developers, artists, and sound engineers to realize our vision for a game that takes players on the ultimate driver journey.”īandai Namco and Slightly Mad are treating today’s news as the initial reveal of the game. “Our collective goal at Slightly Mad Studios is to create a simulation racing experience that rivals that of real-life,” said Stephen Viljoen, game director on Project CARS 2, in a news release. Thanks to technology that Slightly Mad dubs “Livetrack 3.0,” the sequel will offer a real-time weather simulation that will have an impact on the track surface, as well as dynamic time-of-day and seasonal effects.Ī Ford F-150 at Funhaver Hell Rallycross.Ī McLaren 650S GT3 and a Mercedes-Benz AMG GT3 in the rain at Fuji Speedway.Ī Mercedes-Benz AMG GT3 and a Nissan GT-R GT3 at Long Beach.Ī Mercedes-Benz AMG GT-R at the Mercedes-Benz Ice Track.Ī Nissan GT-R GT3 and a McLaren 650S GT3 in the rain at Fuji Speedway. The developers are expanding on the original game’s challenging rainy racing with wintry conditions - snow and ice - as well as rally racing on dirt and mud. Weather is another feature that’s getting a major upgrade in Project CARS 2, according to Slightly Mad. Project CARS 2 will be playable in 12K resolution - three 4K monitors side by side for a panoramic view - but if that’s not immersive enough for you, the game will also support virtual reality headsets. Its first trailer and screenshots (see below) focus on powerhouses like the Acura NSX, Nissan GT-R GT3 and McLaren 650S GT3, and courses such as the Fuji Speedway and the famous street circuit in Long Beach, California. Known as Project CARS 2, the game will offer more than 60 tracks and 170 cars to race on them. And shorter modes like Time Trial and the ability to shorten the season length mean that, even if you don’t have much time, you can still get plenty of racing in.The sequel to 2015’s Project CARS, the “community-assisted racing simulator” from Slightly Mad Studios, is in development on PlayStation 4, Windows PC and Xbox One for release in late 2017, publisher Bandai Namco announced today. If none of that is doing it for you, My Team mode lets you create a driver and manage their team through the season. Additionally, F1 2021 includes a two-player career mode and split-screen play. This kind of thing has become more common lately-see Madden NFL’s Longshot-and it’s a welcome way to introduce players to the mechanics of the game, while also giving them a reason to be invested. Not to be confused with your typical race-a-bunch-of-races career mode, the campaign here is story-focused, with players donning the helmets of one of two characters: a rookie at the beginning of his career or an experienced racer nearing the finish line. F1 2021 introduces a full-fledged campaign, “Breaking Point,” to the long-running series.
