Project CARS 2 Codemasters has bought Slightly Mad Studios (1 Viewer)

If codies have only paid $30m for the IP for Project Cars which is the figure I saw quoted, they got a bargain IMO. That supports the theory that Slightly Mad had committed to deliver the Hollywoood Blockbuster based game but have run out of money...

$30m

30m for an IP that failed badly on it's second appearance is not a bargain.

They got a bit more than the PCars IP...but that's a solid base with a known name to build on, one eye on eSports future revenue streams, could well be big a winner for them.

I am affraid that they destroy this title like they did with dirt rally 2....

or put in1000 DLC´s...

Look at you, knowing the ins and outs of video game development.

I mean, Codemaster had a great Game with Dirt Rally 1 with a realy good aktiv Force Feedback, a fantastic Handling and VR support.
I will never understand why they didn´t use that existing tools for DR 2 and just polish the game and graphics + some new traks. Low work - maximum profit and nearly everyone would have been happy. But they changed everything to the worst possible result.

How would it be in PC3 ? New handling like in NFS Shift or Grid? And I do not thrust the reviews anymore, at the moment of release, they sayd on youtube, gamestar and so on that DR 2 has a perfect relastic FFB but in reality it was not even working.

I remain skeptical and hope it´s not like this and SMS has that under control.

Pretty much every new game is released with issues, day one patches are the norm now. It's just a matter of how bad it is and it's effect on the experience overall.
