Project CARS 2 Announced, Project CARS Will Continue Receiving Updates

[ExtremeGamer]

Out of nowhere, Slightly Mad Studios has just announced Project CARS 2, stating the game will have the largest track roster ever, widest variety of motorsports, co-op career mode and more.

But uh... What about the updates to Project CARS? You know, the game that just released 6 weeks ago?

The official Twitter account mentions Project CARS 2 will be worked on simultaneously, as the team continues to provide updates, features and content throughout 2015 and beyond for the recently released Project CARS.

With that said, some of the features are listed below. More information can be seen on the official website, along with five membership tiers for their crowdfunding platform. Those five tiers start at £50 ($79.14) and go up as high as £10,000 ($15,824.00).

PRO RACING. ANYTIME. ANYWHERE.

PC2 Outta nowhere!


Glad to see the excitement from SMS, though. Rallycross? Yes please! This looks like it's gonna be pretty revolutionary with so many racing types. I can dig it.

Re: Project Cars 2 Announced

Not sure the consumer feedback team is in touch with reality here. How do you address a game that needs patching still, release another version! Uh, no.

Re: Project Cars 2 Announced

Love PCars, but uhhhhhh....what?

[JKSportsGamer1984]

Damn! I don't know whether to be excited or pissed off lol. I just bought Project cars a month ago (which I love) & now I'm contemplating trading it in. Why invest time into it when it sounds like Project Cars 2 is the game we should be waiting for?

I really like Project Cars for my PS4. But already PCars2? Can I get more exotic luxury cars for this game first, please? Go-carts were cool, but I can do without cars like the "Atom" and old-a** cars from the 80's & 90's. Give us a car listing on par with Driveclub, sheese...

Seems like the people (buyers & supporters of PCars1) are voicing their opinions -- yikers. You can't just do your fanbase like this without some sort of backlash.

I disagree with all this anger and complaining; they haven't stopped supporting PC and will continue to do so. A portion of the SMS team is beginning work on the next edition.

All sports games and annual shooters do this. If you like the series and genre, you should be excited that the game is selling so well the next one can be planned for.

It doesn't list a release time frame, I doubt it'll come out in 16 (probably 17) but you never know.

Saw on the official forums it's slated for a 2017 release. They're aiming for 2 year cycles for the series. That's fine by me. Initially I thought it was going to be 2016 and didn't like the idea.

But every other year is perfectly fine by me.

So basically, Project CARS was the beta, and this will be the real game.

If what people are stumbling across on message boards is true (that the game won't be out til 2017 or later), then the developers need to make that clear in their press release ... and they still have not. It's just bad PR, and it's completely tone-def to a community that has just purchased your game a mere 6 weeks ago.

This is truth if you've played the Xbox One version of Project Cars, which was released practically in beta.
