Project Cars 2 REVIEW 2021 | Really That Bad? | Should You Buy In 2021? 

Play with assists on authentic and tell me it’s not a sim, without TC, SC and ABS those cars are a handful and handle a lot more realistic than GTS, I get great FFB from my fanetec F1 wheel on PC2 it’s all about the wheel settings

No setup changes I make with any car keeps it under control in this game. Even with all assists on, I can't win with this game which takes the fun out of this game. On my PS4 with a steering wheel and it still is no fun when you keep spinning out when you gently accelerate as high as 10 mph. Quite disappointing. At least the Gran Turismo series is much fairer by far. Even if the handling is historically inaccurate with those cars, I don't care. Who wants to play an unwinnable game anyway?

@@FormulaPunRacer Idk what you're talking about mate, this game is really easy without assists. Try changing your steering wheel and pedal settings.

@@FormulaPunRacer yeah sorry but that is 100% a you problem, either your driving or your configuration/wheel settings. I play with a Logitech G27 wheel on a PC so idk what PS4 hardware and input settings exist, but either something like your wheel’s degrees of rotation isn’t mapping correctly… or you’re just expecting a sim racing game with realistic physics and realistic vehicle dynamics/handling characteristics to behave like an arcade game. My money’s on the latter since that’s the issue with about 50% of my friends that have tried it at my house using my setup. If you’ve been conditioned playing titles like GT and especially super arcade type driving in games like GTA and expect cars in PC2 to react anything like driving in those games, actual sim driving is not for you. Same thing applies if you don’t have any actual experience driving performance-oriented cars that are RWD in real life with at least reasonably high HP (at least 300-350hp). As someone with 20 years of performance driving experience in real cars with up to 650hp down to ~200hp, I can assure you this game isn’t far off from the real deal - that is, in terms of production road car handling… I can’t necessarily vouch for the realistic handling of any of the race car models in the game since I’ve never driven a Formula One/Touring car/etc on slicks in real life. In both PC2 and real life, you can’t just pin the throttle in a 300+hp car from a slow(ish) speed in a corner or exiting a corner and expect the car to not get super tail happy and try to swap ends on you. Depending on how much torque and hp, you have to eeeeease into the throttle especially when you’re cornering or otherwise not going dead straight… and even when you are going straight you’re gonna have a bad time in cars with a lot of power. This is even more the case at the start of a race when tires are still cold and not developing the amount of adhesion they have when warmed up.

Sucks

You might wanna go back and play PC1, you’ll be surprised.

Project Cars 3 can’t even try to compete with PC2 in the simulation part of it. But if you want a Forza Horizon or Grid kind of game PC2 can’t try to compete as well.

how about hard handling and turning in PC2 ? help

Have you played PC1? Not sure because the quality gap in terms of graphics or feeling is on the advantage of the first episode.

Well... yes.... until you feel the physics of about 75% of the cars being totally unrealistic. The cars they did well they did really well, but there's not that many of those cases

@@captainnebulous2918 PopsRacer FFB helps with that a lot

@@manzory It's not the FFB that throws me off. It's that the cars handle like they always have hardcore assists turned on, even when turned off

@@captainnebulous2918 Well you can’t please everyone, with a wheel and custom FFB files, the game feels amazing, but if you used something like a gamepad or KB/Mouse, I can see where your coming from

and if you were on console with a wheel, your argument makes proper sense since you can’t even get custom configs on PS and Xbox. If AMS2 was accessible by consoles, that would be your type of game if you used one to play PC2.

Hi! Where can I download this file?

yeah I don't understand the title, unfair and biased, and exaggerating the response it got.

yeah he needs to edit that title. i almost didnt watch the video because of the title. his video is pretty good but the title is really unfair.

Welcome to the world of clickbaiting.

It's partially clickbait and partially the toxicity of the internet. People whine about anything and everything, especially gamers.

Yeah, pCARS2 is still great! The only thing I really don´t like, are the engine sounds of the GT3 cars. The Ferrari 488 GT3 sound, Porsche GT3 sound...have nothing to do with the ones of the real cars. pCARS2 is one of the very few games, the prequel is much better than the sequel!

Not a Gran Turismo fan? I know it’s not a full sim but it’s close. I’m getting back into racing and am gonna buy GT sport for like $9.99 on PS Store. However, I’ve realized this really need a steering wheel watching PC2 replays shows the jerky motion even though I would consider myself above average driver.

@@greg6162 Yeah I love Gran Turismo too bro and to be honest I love and play them all. I'm currently bouncing from PC, Xbox and PS on my rig to experience them all... Who cares if it's Consoles or PC though as long as you're having a good time.

@@greg6162 I just got GT Sport. My first GT game ever and first sim ever. I can’t put it down. I love it. Playing it on PS5. The controls are very good with game pad. The analog sticks are very smooth controlling the wheel.

@@KontryBoy706 yeah man it's definitely the best sim on console for sure. GT sport does everything right.

deadzone 0-2, dial down the sensitivity as needed. somewhere around 15-20 does it for me. up the FOV on cameras, try playing without/low SC+TC

Have a look at the settings 'Johnson Racing' recommends on his RU-vid channel. It made the world of difference for me.

Which car classes except gt3 are the most flawless and playable?

Assetto Corsa Competizione if you want ultimate realism!

Yes, FFB is only for people using a wheel. I played this on PS4 so everything I said in the review was based off that experience!

Ok, just wanted to know

PC2 is significantly better than PC3 in terms of handling! As good as Assetto Corsa? Across the board, no. However some of the cars are as good or better than in AC. The game will of course feel quite different though!

That means a lot - thank you! :)

@@AverageGameReviews yeah u have improved alot of the things I told you to improve,everything is more professional now.Earned my sub.Dont get discouraged though you don't get many views just keep doing your thing and things will get better.I wanna see big things from you.

Thank you!

I get where you are coming from! It's alright once you get used to it - It's incredibly realistic in some areas and not quite so in others! Wack on some traction controll and it should be manageable!

Ok, I’ll reinstall it to see if that helps. Thank you!

@@Mojomotdot13 I realize I’m 5 months late here but Average Game Reviews unintentionally misled you with his suggestion. Traction control isn’t going to help you with the specific issue you were having since TC only minimizes the tires breaking traction resulting from applying too much throttle, which is mostly only a problem at slower speeds (unless driving a very high HP car). As you probably noticed you can kiss a curb while going around a corner causing you to spin out at higher speeds even without any throttle applied. What you need to turn on is **stability control** which tries to counteract vehicle yaw (sliding sideways) at low speeds as well as high speeds regardless of throttle application. Just like in real life if you apply too much throttle while cornering with only TC turned on and SC turned off, you can still slide sideways/spin out without touching a curb, and similarly it is still possible to slide some with only SC on and TC off if you pin the throttle around a corner in a powerful enough car. The two systems compliment each other when used in conjunction if you’re having trouble with cars wanting to swap ends on you. And yes I realize you may well have given up on the game entirely by now, but know that reading all of that hasn’t been a complete waste of your time since all of what I said is true in the real world and is exactly what those two systems do in real cars… so maybe that knowledge will help you in real life one day 🤷🏼‍♂️

@@lexusls good comment 🍈

You should write my scripts.

A really good arcade racer like you say you are should find sim easy. I had no trouble switching to sim and i was the best racer in a certain arcade game ;)

@@iamdanish99havocx79 You know, I'm like the Daniel Riccardo/Sebastian Vettel type of driver. I need some time to adapt, but when I get up to speed, I'll be the Boogyman. ;-)

One of the most rewarding too. All you need to do is tweak settings to your liking, make some tunes and you will understand the game

I understand that both are built on the same "madness" game engine.

Without googling it I’m guessing he’s referring to when the PS4 port of the original PC version was released?

Worth to buy to pc?

@@danttuw3 I just noticed there are mods that modify the force feedback of most of the cars, so if you're tempted and your pc supports the game in a decent quality, I don't see why not. Cheers!

If you want variety then go for PC2 but if you want ultimate realism, then ACC! ACC also has a more active multiplayer because it is newer. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Go with Project Cars 2. In terms of single player content, it's on pole position. Other decent would be Forza Motorsport. I don't know about Assetto Corsa.

Assetto Corsa Competizione has a decent career but nothing compared to Project Cars 2/F1 2020

Your wheel should work

It's on sale now.

@@10vingers On sale again for 8.99

Its on sale ps4 for £6.71

@@Ehsan.a06 dude I bought it on steam like 10 mins ago for $6. what a coincidence

@@danablackwhite6389 lmao lol. Im literally hovering on pc2 on the playstore rn 😂

I am also B in GT Sport, and I found the AI to be competitive enough

@@AverageGameReviews Thanks🙏

Thank you!

Thanks for the sub! Hope the video was useful :)

ACC is Assetto Corsa Competizione. I have reviewed it on my channel! :)

F1 2021? Gt Sport but the F1 car isn't that popular.

Yeah the title of this video and review really had me scratching my head. It’s been a few years so maybe he was confused and remembering the bad press/reviews that PC3 got (which was/is totally substantiated)?

Both of these elements are improved from the first game!

Project Cars 1 GOTY

Hello! Servers are dying a bit - full lobbies are quite rare (at least on PS4) and the matchmaking system is just a list of servers. This is fine, although scheduled races are much better.

@@AverageGameReviews Thanks for the response and, as always, great video!

@@jenson6214 The solution is a community.

Thank you!

definitely

Very true

Great deal!!

No problem!

It does not support PSVR

Thanks! :)

Defo

How did you get it for $8.99? It costs 59,99€ in the EU

@@jackneill8233 it was on sale last week

Dude, even you're having difficulty with the go-carts? Same here man, for some reason they don't handle well. I recently bought the game and oh boy is it hard...... Don't hate it tho, I think I just need to get good.

@@da-mf5hz I gave up an started playing something else

Hi :D

Yessir!

Get forza

@@randomguy.mp4 Already have motor sport 7 and horizon 4

I loved nfs heat. Online mode is an amazing experience even at a low level.

Don't worry, it still has a lot of players.

Same. How do you fix it?

@@Vixen1525 Idk ive never been able to fix it hence why i haven't touched the game in ages

@@jackserp4641 That's odd...when I tried it out on controller, it worked fine.

I had the same problem even after enjoying the original. The controller settings recommended by 'Johnson Racing' on his youtube channel has made a huge difference for me.

agreed

😌

Agreed!

Thanks!

I had same problem no mater what settings I try everything for days no mater if I use steering wheel vor control pad nightmare to control forza motorsport 7 is amazing
