Bandai Namco's new simulator arrives on September 22, for PC (Steam), PS4 and XBOX ONE.
We do Aumanck we tested it at a pre-launch in São Paulo, with the presence of the game director, Stephen Viljoen.
The first game, released in 2015, was a hit among simulation lovers and practically rejected by casual and Arcade gamers. That's why some of these racing game fans don't even want to come close to this sequel.
But you can rest assured!
We tested different cars and track situations and we can say that Project Cars 2 it's for everyone! Soon in its menu, the player will be able to choose a very curious item that is the ENGINEER. There he will have a real – and very easy – lesson on how to configure his car. And for those who enjoy simulation, it's a full plate compared to the races, where the driver says the problems of his car and the engineer does the adjustment of tires, brakes etc.
For this reason, the game was approved by professional pilots and experts on cars and tracks! Physical fidelity of driving is guaranteed and the player will have the feeling of actually being behind the wheel. And speaking of steering wheel, we tested the Project Cars 2 on the PS4 controller and also on the steering wheel. In both styles, the player can have equal fun, whether he is a simulation aficionado or just casual.
Among the choices of cars, you will be able to drive classics such as Lotus from Formula 1, Formula Indy cars, Ferrari, among many others within the more than 170 cars and 60 circuits. Another fantastic part is choosing the race date! The staff did an extraordinary job with the database, entering what the weather was really like at a particular race.
And it doesn't just stop at the database or visual. Project Cars 2 There are sounds that make a difference. With the game inside the car, the sound is more muffled. When the gamer chooses the third-person view, that is, outside the car, the sound becomes more open. And not just the engine, but the nature around it. We stopped and let all the cars go so we could just admire the look of one of the tracks and the sounds of nature.
And continuing in the weather, the player will be able to choose between several different types, such as rain, sun, snow, storm and so on. This concern of developers to bring details to the virtual world is what makes the Project Cars 2 totally different from other car racing simulation games.
The combination of tracks, terrain, tire wear, fuel consumption, among others, were carefully studied and brought to this second game, so that the gamer doesn't feel like just pressing a button and a mere supporting player in a game full of visuals. On the contrary.
Here you will really get the feeling of being a pilot and competing with others online. From creating your character, configuring your car and being able to share it with your friends and become, who knows, the best in history!
And for this game to become more perfect, all that was missing was the smell of fuel and burnt rubber on the asphalt!
