Hard to believe it?s been nearly three years since Project CARS 2 released, but here we sit in 2020 with Slightly Mad Studios? latest entry, Project CARS 3. Featuring a revamped look and feel, it seems the developer has opted to appeal to the more casual racing fan, while keeping in some of the simulation pedigree that made Project CARS famous. It?s always a hard task to balance simulation and arcade appeal, but read our Project CARS 3 review to see if this one hits the spot.
Project CARS 3 Review ? Certainly Looks Familiar
Project CARS 3 still looks quite impressive. There?s not Gran Turismo levels of realism, but the helmet camera certainly helps to drive home some immersion. A photo mode can be entered at any time using the directional pad, which instantly pauses the action so you can frame a perfect shot. Cars are richly detailed inside and out, while audio work is what you?d expect in any racer. Playing with headphones on helps to track where opponents are in your vicinity, too. From a technical standpoint, this is still Project CARS at its core. HDR support is not present, which is a shame as the bright colors of the cars and environments would have really benefited from a contrast boost. On the PS4 Pro, the option to prioritize resolution or frame rate can be found in the Visuals section of the Settings menu, which lets the player choose if they?d rather have better-looking visuals or a frame rate that is closer to a constant 60 per-second.
