Oh wow, didn't see that coming. On a Wednesday, no less.

Looking forward to impressions - I'm a little overloaded on racing games at the moment, but this one's been on the radar for some time.

I am waiting for the console version.

Played it for an hour as it's still downloading but you can play one circuit. Like it so far.... Did notice slight tearing on the graphics (ps4). Rain looked good in car but not great on outside cameras as it's drops down the screen as if on the camera... Didn't like that. Off to bed now while it downloads will give it more of a shot before I go to work in 11 hours

hooked up my wheel(Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback), ran a few practice laps in a Mustang at Watkins Glen(A track I know NR2003).
mostly just trying to get my wheel calibrated and setup.

so far, the visuals are awesome on PC, I have it on Ultra and the game runs smooth for me. can't really gauge the FPS yet, as in free practice it's just you.
the sounds seem really good as well. again, only ran some laps in the Mustang so far.

just trying to get a feel for the wheel and decide if I will keep going with it, or look into getting a new one. the beast is really old now(I think made for Windows 98), but still does great in the majority of games I have played.

You live in the UK?

I'm waiting for the PS4 version. I've Been watching some streamers at twitch playing the game. I am thinking of getting a wheel, not to expensive though. If anyone has the thrustmaster T80 racing wheel how is it? Thanks.

Played a couple 2 lap races with the karts, and they have been tough to keep on the track.

For those wondering, I live in NY so I'm going to explain how I got my copy early.

1. Create a UK PSN account. Email must be different from US PSN account. Also, make sure UK PSN is activated on your PS4.

2. Buy 45 pounds worth of PS wallet top up cards. I went to game.co.uk
US customers don't have to pay the VAT, so the total was around 57 US dollars.

3. Redeem top up cards on UK PSN account.

Yeh man certainly do. Am debating whether to lay out for a wheel.... Used to have one when I was a pc gamer years ago so if anyone can give us any advice on which ones are good for ps4 that would be great.

Have read some previews about the poor ai. What do you guys think about it so far?

Alright cool. I was just thinking it came out in the states early or something.

I'm surprised there is still no preorder up on the U.S. Store yet

Yeah, I read on reddit that there won't be a pre-order but, we will still get the pre-order cars, etc.

In the karts, if you hit the kerbs your car loses all traction and will spin. Gotta stay off them.

Hard to stay on the track, I lose control instantly on turns.

PC version

yeah, the Karts do not like the curbs at all. The AI seem to do fine on them though.

# 15 RNunez187 @ 05/06/15 11:36 PM

So only digital copies get the Limited Edition cars? If so that is BS

# 16 Gotmadskillzson @ 05/07/15 12:10 AM

The replay system is AWESOME. Love all the camera angles. Some pics from my rain race. A lot of modes, a lot of cars, pretty deep looking career mode.

# 17 Gotmadskillzson @ 05/07/15 01:14 AM

A couple more

# 18 SinisterAlex @ 05/07/15 01:39 AM

Project CARS currently has 86 out of 100 on Metacritic. Can't wait for this game to drop!

# 19 AUChase @ 05/07/15 05:01 AM

Reviews have been overwhelmingly positive so far.

# 20 ExtremeGamer @ 05/07/15 06:28 AM

Been watching a lot of streams, especially since it released on Steam yesterday. I don't know if I'm trying to talk myself out of it, but the more I watch the less I'm impressed with it. Could also be the quality of the streamer I'm watching, not sure. May just stick with the other racing game for now since it really has almost everything I need. Really wanted to race the ovals like Indy and Daytona, but that is DLC later on.

EDIT - also feel the AI looks races pretty dumb. Drive Club's AI is awful too, seems like Forza is the only one to get this right recently with their Drivitars.
