Moving from Gran Turismo to Project Cars 2 - Deluxe Edition (Project CARS 2)

None of the players on this site have studied this game in such detail.


I decided to move from Gran Turismo Sport to PROJECT CARS 2 - Deluxe Edition
.
Tired of the monotonous Gran Turismo. Paid online is choking.
The new Gran Turismo 7, which has not yet been released, showed a video 100 days before the release of the game, and no longer inspires the same credibility as before.
...
Perhaps the head of Sony, Jim Ryne, does not fund the development of his games.
And he just dreams of sitting on an easy chair and carelessly making a profit.
But I think sooner or later it will all end. the market will decide.
...
Therefore, I see no point in waiting now for a miracle from Sony Playstation, especially the release of new AAA racing simulators.
...
What about PROJECT CARS 2? After all, this game is already 3 years old. The old woman is outdated,
Moreover, all and sundry have found fault with her.

The answer is very simple: At the time of the release of 2017, not all players had enough power to pull this game at 60 fps. Console versions also could not boast of good performance. Only PS4 Pro and Xbox One X could work more stable and give out a good picture. But there were only a few of them in 2017.


+ Disgusting PR company in Russia and its surrounding countries.
This is another story altogether.
Two video bloggers who at that time were actively promoting the game and were supposedly professionals in game races, in fact, turned out to be ordinary balabols for this game.

Igor Asanov and Anton Logvinov
.
They advised everyone to include the complexity of Realizm management throughout the country
.
We didn't even think with our own head that most buyers only have a keyboard or a regular xbox gamepad.
At the time of release, their Youtube channels were in the top.
How can you not believe such.
...
As a result, at the first launch, all players set the "Realism" control.
It does not matter, the recommendations played their cruel joke.
These actions turned an already complex simulator into an unplayable ice rink.
What caused a wave of indignation, shit, the game was doused with slop, made a refund, and after the release of the new NFS and the Dirt series, the game was completely buried.


PANDORA'S BOX - dusting off
I had to re-understand other people's mistakes, read old forums and test before buying.


Now I decided to prepare a small comparison of 2 games for everyone.

PROJECT CARS 2 - Deluxe Edition and Gran Turismo Sport

Game Differences - Features, Disadvantages: Buying a License for Online.


1) Overview of the cabin during the race.
All this is perfectly implemented in both licensed games.
In both PC2 and GT Sport, the detailing of the interior and mirrors is at the highest level.

In the pirated version, this parameter is Locked, and reluctantly can be enabled only if you add the -novr command to the console shortcut.


2) PROJECT CARS 2 has Reflections on the body An
effect which is quite popular nowadays.
By the way, Gran Turismo Sport does not know how to reflect cars on the body at all.
Only in 2022 this effect is promised to be made in Gran Turismo 7

3) All cars are available at once.
There is no need to search - buy, farm like in Gran Turismo, wind up kilometers of hope when the right car drops out.
In PROJECT CARS 2 - Deluxe Edition, everything is available immediately for online.



4) Gamepad control. "Complete" or "Reliable" on rare occasions.
I liked playing only with this setting. And not any other. There is no need to think about whether this brand is worth anti-lock or anti-slip wheels.
I am sure that everything is now installed.
For the controller, this is the best control as in
Gran Turismo Sport.
You can ride every car from F1 to 600bhp Road cars of the civilian version without nerdiness.
And who wants realizma, go to the store behind expensive steering wheels from 60,000 rubles and 100,000 rubles

. And that steering wheel that is under my window is enough for me.



5) in PROJECT CARS 2 Insane amount of Race Tracks for online racing.
This Gran Turismo never dreamed of. and whether it will be vryat

I selected only those that are not in GT Sport.
They play great in online races PC2 Deluxe Edition

Oschersleben
Hockenheimring
Snetterton 300
Donington
Imola
Zolder
Watkins Glen Onboard
Silverstone GP
Algarve

+ Plus more popular like Suzuka, Spa, Laguna Seca, etc.
There are a lot, you can't even list all of them right off the bat.


6) PROJECT CARS 2 Missing Brake Sensor and Cones (Tips)
In Gran Turismo Sport, these 2 Tips make life a lot easier for the players.
Blue Cones suggest which side of the road is best to snuggle up to.
The Braking sensor calculates the player's exact speed per turn.
...
in PROJECT CARS 2 - Deluxe Edition there is no such thing. There is only a green beard blocking most of the view of the track. However, it can be adjusted in the settings or turned off altogether.
Instead of cones, the game implements the usual tips (pointers) as in Rally games.
Not a lot, but already something.


7) in PROJECT CARS 2 There is no pit stop in 9-10 lap races.
In Gran Turismo Sport, by creating an online game: The admin has the right to speed up the fuel consumption time for all participants. Thus, forcing the players to play the fuel strategy.
Saving, losing speed, or drowning in full, devouring fuel in buckets and forced to refuel empty tanks when driving into pit stops.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing in Project Cars 2. There is only a strategy for calculating fuel before starting.
Fuel consumption is so slow that Players do not need to enter a pit stop in the middle of a race to refuel.
Before the start, the players only calculate the amount of gasoline until the final.
Although the game has all the prerequisites.
...

edit - The less fuel in the tank, the faster your racing car.
This applies to both games.


8) in PROJECT CARS 2 Vintage car classes and other unusual race classes
When I saw the first trailers of Gran Turismo 7 and Vintage Porsche 917 I
immediately remembered that these races are already in Project Cars 2.
So why should I wait for an expensive GT7 from drunk Jim when I can already take part in similar online races here and now + with a large number of tracks.
...
The most powerful plus in the direction of PROJECT CARS 2 - Deluxe Edition.
For a long time, new different players will be brought into the game who, for this reason, will want to race online with just such Vintage cars.


9) No Auto Vinyl - Wraps - Cannot be downloaded and played online.
Although the developers have added different skins to the PC2 Deluxe Edition,
but compared to Gran Turismo Sport, where you can download any skin in Project Cars 2 online, there are none.
this is a minus.

In short, everything is sad with the covers - (vinyls) in PROJECT CARS 2.
Sometimes there are not even black, blue or yellow paint colors for civil cars.
Only those that sell in real life.


10) There are NASCAR races in the game - 2 types of Ford cars.
You can create steep 20-25 min races on Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Daytona, Oval and other
small things, but at the same time Gran Turismo Sport cannot boast of this


11) Your driving safety rating online. (U1500)
This is the same as in Gran Turismo Sport.
The lowest level is indicated by the letter "U" and ascending F, E, D, C, B, A, S - the highest level of network security! Calculated based on your behavior in online races! Rule violations, aggressive driving and contact with other players are taken into account. Those. if you will maliciously break the rules and ram your rivals, your safety rating will fall. And if you drive carefully without crashing into anyone, the rating will grow.



12) I close on one more good note. Online on Steam is still alive.
People ride races in the evening, experiment with modes, weather,
multi-classes.
There are, of course, idiots on the roads, but there are still more normal players,
which is already pleasing.
Play networked GTE, GT3, GT4, Road supercars, Vintage, NASCAR, and of course F1.

Sometimes you can find servers with Rally or Drift, but this

is not for every fan. I am still hooked on Road supercars 600bhp forces and GT3
Steam traffic 500-800 people per day.
I think this is an excellent indicator.

The game key can be bought for not expensive or on sales at a good discount.
I advise you to buy only the full version of the game !!!
PROJECT CARS 2 - Deluxe Edition

Happy race to everyone, and fewer accidents
. I would also like to see comments from people who understand this game more than me.
