It’s (most likely) happening this time! After a few delays that pushed the release from the Fall of 2014, to early Spring of 2015…to later Spring 2015, Project CARS has reached gold status and is set for release.
‘Gold status’ is a term used in the gaming industry to signify a game is done and all the different retailers are ready to release it. Project CARS will be released world-wide on Steam on May 7th. The PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC boxed and digital versions release will be staggered starting on May 7th. Europe and Australia will get it first on the 7th, followed by the United Kingdom on the 8th and lastly the United States and Canada on the 12th.
Along with the release date announcement, the final track list has also been announced. With over 30 locations and over 110 different courses, Project CARS is touting its list as the most diverse out there today. While I’m not 100% jumping on that bandwagon, they do have a lot of great tracks including the Nordschleife, Spa, Brno, Circuit de la Sarthe (24 Hours of Le Mans), Donnington, Monaco (Azure Circuit), Mount Panorama, Watkins Glen, Road America, Monza, Imola and Silverstone.
The entire list can be seen here. Let the countdown begin!
I am looking forward to it. Just hope they can muster enough online players together to make it a really good game.
Based off of the excitment I’m seeing, I think it’ll have plenty of online players. Now, the quality of the racing will be the question.
Yeah plenty of player just hope it’s not bumper cars!
We have just got so many racing games out there now and the number of racers is being spread so thin. I have shut down two of my games that I played daily because the number of players got too low and the games were not evolving… Need to shut down a couple of more here since they are getting left behind. Not enough hours in the day to play them all.
Limited time and terrible driving from the grids I enter is pretty frustrating. Sadly I don’t see anything different from Project cars in that regard.
?? It’s not even released yet…kind of early to make that prediction isn’t it? You don’t “see anything different” because there’s nothing to see until it’s officially released to the public.
I didn’t do the best job saying what I was thinking. I don’t see the public drastically changing and becoming competent online racers once project cars is released.
I got ya. 🙂
Looking forward to it’s release and seeing what kind of reception it will get.
Very excited to finally have a crack at this one. But I’m actually interested in seeing how the single player campaign is. I miss that feeling of progression. Codies F1 series has it but got boring after the first title.
