          I only have a PS4 and it plays and looks great. If you are looking to race with a wheel then you should check which wheels are compatible with each system.

            I have been trying to find an unbiased PS4 comparison of Project Cars and DriveClub. I haven't played either but want to buy one of them. I can afford both, but don't have time to invest in both with a lot of the games coming out. DriveClub seems to be the consensus winner on graphics, but little else. Anyone have an unbiased opinion on the matter? Thanks.

              I kind of found my answer in the other comments here. I am a bit of a graphics nut, but also like realism in the physics. I guess I can always try one and sell it off if I don't like it.

                Metacritic scores:

                PS4: 85 (8.2 user score)
                XB1: 81 (4.9 user score)

                Looks like PS4 would be the better choice.

                    Coming from someone who absolutely loves DriveClub, I consider it easy to give an unbiased opinion, mainly because the only real similarity is that they're both racers. After that, they are very different at their core, and target audience really. One (DC) is an "arcade-sim" (but it's really an arcade racer at the end of the day). And it happened to be my favorite arcade racer, btw. The other (PCARS) is a true sim, with tons of options to get it to play however you like. I don't think you can make it as arcade as your typical arcade racer though. You definitely can't drive one game, like the other. You are probably right, DC is the better looking game, but not by much and it's mostly due to the second-to-none weather effects.

                    That said, PCARS is a great sim racer that purist (like many of us here) will absolutely love. I've enjoyed my couple hours with it greatly, and would say it's a must have for a racing sim fan. And it is best sim you'll see/have seen on a console, without a doubt. On the other hand, if you're a more casual fan, PCARS can be a pretty overbearing experience. If you realize that tuning your controls, is as much of the experience as tuning your cars, it makes a big difference too. You kind of have to be realistic in how you approach a game like this. All of which, I'm sure you already know.

                    So, having talked in a circle (lol), I'd go with PCARS as it is the latest and greatest. And being more critically acclaimed, should have the larger community going forward. And it will only get better over time. Hope that helps.

                      Thanks a lot. I really appreciate it. That spelled it out quite clearly for me. Much appreciated!

                        I'd go with PS4 between the console versions... the game has better resolution and performs slightly better. There was a pre-release video where the developer basically said that the PS4 was the definitive version. I haven't looked at any comparison videos, or reviews to see how big (or small) of a difference there is. I only have a PS4, so my decision was easy. I do think the PS4 will have the larger community amongst the consoles as well.

                        You may want to check your options for peripherals, but IMO it's thin on both sides. I will say, my short time with PCARS already has me ready to bite the bullet, and splurge on a wheel. :o

                            Something I just discovered that has helped me is that you can allow an AI racer to take control. This really helps because you can see first hand what gears to be in on different turns and such. You can access the option in the quick race weekend mode during the practice runs.

                              I stuck my toe in the water with the AI set at 80 during career mode. Let's just say I'm not ready yet. Not even close.

                                Curious... what setting are you running. I'm doing 80 but need to drop since I'm running in the back of the pack in all of the tracks.
