That’s also possible in part thanks to the introduction of LiveTrack 3, which dynamically changes the quality of the track based on the environment. The system calculates how long each weather system should stay in play based on the race, and will dynamically transition between each weather condition throughout the race for a more realistic feel. The weather conditions can be manually selected in any custom race setup, with users even able to select multiple weather conditions for a single race. That, coupled with the fact that there are over 170 cars available in the game, from go-karts to supercars and everything in between, there is enough variety to keep even the most dedicated petrol head occupied for quite a while. Speaking of tracks, there are many available in Project CARS 2 – in fact, the developers have confirmed that there are 60+ tracks present in the latest game with a total of 139 layouts. Blades of grass were pixelated and background elements like trees and mountains lacked any real detail, noticeable even when driving at 100mph+.Īdmittedly, the game is about racing rather than appreciating the detail of the world its set in as it’ll be a blur most of the time, but it’s worth pointing out nonetheless – especially when the likes of Forza Motorsport 7 is out very soon, and looks absolutely stunning.
While the graphics are much better on PC than on PS4 or Xbox One (as with most games), even running the game on PC with ‘ultra’ graphic settings provided underwhelming environmental graphics.
