I’m not a racing game guy, especially when it comes to ones that end up more on the simulation side of driving. I don’t get behind the wheel of these games too often because I’m awful at them (Ironically by not playing them more often, I never actually get better. It’s a dark spiral, I know). I’m the guy that spends more time trying to figure out how to make sure I don’t have a tire or two on the side of the road than I do actually on the asphalt. However, I have a great appreciation for the deep technical aspects of racing sims, and seeing Project CARS 2 at E3 2017 did not fail to make an impression.
Touted as the most technically advanced racing sim out there, it earns this title through the most dynamic accuracy of any car game out there. The tracks are all real world tracks laser scanned for millimeter accuracy, but that’s been done before. For Project CARS 2 they upped their game to drone scanning the surrounding area, making sure that not only the tracks are accurate, but that the surrounding areas match exactly what drivers would expect to see if they were racing. If that’s not enough, the real life dynamic daylight cycle will actually simulate what time the lights in the city tracks turn on as it gets darker and the colors of the light bulbs used, so as to ensure that every single little detail is accurate to a fault.
Not only will you get time of day simulation, but there will also be seasonal simulation that will...
