![]() Gamepad usability has also taken a massive leap from previous titles, to the point where you may question whether it’s worth getting the wheel out at all. And, to its credit, the handling model (while no doubt a disappointment for PC1 and PC2 fans) continues to be better than what both Forza and Gran Turismo can offer. To judge a game purely against its predecessors, however, is a little short-sighted – especially when PC3 dares to bring the sim racer into such new territory. The graphics appear to have taken a hit, too – not helped by a highly saturated colour pallet and a number of glitches that have been carried over from PC2. You can of course turn most of the features off, yet you’re then left with a similar experience to PC2, except with what feels like a watered-down physics model. Add this to the motion blur and jarring in-game music, and PC3 screams arcade racer out of the box. ![]() Something also has to be said for the sheer amount of on-screen graphics, readouts and displays that the game defaults to during driving. Mechanical damage, a number of car tuning options and qualifying (at least in single player) have also been jettisoned. Sure, a wet track can still dry out as the race progresses, but the tyres on your car will stay the same, morphing to whatever the conditions warrant. The excellent LiveTrack weather system remains, yet much of its appeal has been spoiled by the removal of pit stops, tyre wear and even different compounds. What should be roaring engines feel muted at best (and downright odd at worst), while other sound effects such as tyre squeal and impacts with other cars are cartoon-like. Cars are more forgiving and less individual in how they drive, with less nuance to fundamentals such as weight transfer and steering feel. Yet, somehow Project Cars 3 still feels noticeably different from its predecessors. With a completely redesigned and unrivalled controller experience, an even more accurate and fun handling model, adjustable skill settings for every level of driver and every element of weather-affected races, Project CARS 3 is the biggest, most exciting and authentic evolution to the definitive racing franchise.Happily, SMS Studios insist that the underlying physics engine has been maintained. Race-won Credits and XP will also entice players to buy authentic performance upgrades and customisation options for their stable of exclusive cars, including wheels, tyres, body kits, rims, as well as personalisation options to create their own racing hero personas. ![]() ![]() Also new to the franchise is a deeply engaging metagame that challenges players to race hard and earn in-game Credits with which to buy and own hundreds of cars from the world's most elite brands and race them all on dynamic and spectacular circuits around the globe featuring stunning all-weather, all-seasons conditions.
