PROJECT CARS 2 REVIEW: HARD AS HELL BUT WORTH THE SWEAT

On that note, developers have hinted at a pitching the game at a broader church, citing the perceived barrier to entry of simulator-focused racing games and more casual, curious, players seeking to enter the genre.

Speaking to EuroGamer, PC3 director of production Peter Morris reassured the diehards that the game remains "exactly as sim-focused as it was before", but also spoke of how the team is making efforts to make the game more approachable.

In a welcome first for the franchise; car customisation – both visual and performance-based – also finds its way into the upcoming game; as well as a new online ‘Rivals’ mode similar to Forza’s asynchronous multiplayer time trial challenges.

Two new track environments will also be added, including; the brightly lit streets of Shanghai and Sao Paulo’s Interlagos circuit.

Gameplay developments include improved post-processing effects, camera shake and motion blur, collision effects as well as new gamepad handling for those racing with a controller.

No exact release date has been announced, nor any word about a next-generation release but we can expect more details to follow in the coming months.
