Or Project CARS as it is technically called. It’s still in pre-alpha stage but has been playable for quite some time now. Anyways, this game is very unique as instead of using a publisher, the devs(Slightly Mad Studios or SMS) is allowing us, the regular folk, to fund the game, and in doing so giving us monthly/weekly/or even daily builds depending on how much you pay to help make the game.
Which actually starts very cheap, 10Euros for monthly builds(Junior), 25Euros for weekly(Team Member), and goes up from there. I paid for the Team Member(25€ or around 32-33USD) so I could play the weekly builds, and boy, is it totally worth it. SMS encourages people to post up youtube videos, screenshots, and pretty much anything we want giving a true sense of freedom even though this game isn’t even in Beta yet. They also have forums in which they are very active in and while I mainly lurk, it’s great to see so much interaction amongst devs and just regular ppl.
They even listen to suggestions which make me have so much respect for them, I can’t even put it properly into words. Yes, this post is mainly butt kissing, but I am enjoying this project a lot, and while I am fairly new to sim racing, I am learning a lot just from following and getting to play this game as it is being made. They even added a Formula A car in this latest 144Build, and it is such a joy to drive, I definitely see as time goes by, I will be getting more addicted to this game.
However, when I need to wind down from some intense racing, I play some PartyPoker. I’m actually not very good at poker, but that site makes it easy for me and helps me get better each time I play.
End the end, I still need to do my own video of me playing pCARS, but at least there are already a bunch of vids on youtube. The game is coming along great, and will be out for PC, Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii U, sometime late this year most likely. So definitely a game to look forward to if you’re not wanting to try out now.
