I wonder if pCARS 3 is actually pCARS Revolution with a name change? If pC3 is as fun as their NFS Shift games, it should be great.
Initially I was disappointed with the news however after wathcing Aris’s ACC videos where he laps for 3.5 hours just to set up a Porsche 911 GT3 for Zandvoort, I can see the value of what SMS have elected to do.
My only issue is SMS should cease talking about pC3 being a sim because it’s not.

Can’t say I’m against such a move. The sim racing market seems more crowded now (at least in competition for mindshare), and I don’t think the “jack of all, master of none” approach will cut it with the “hardcore” sim fans, given the more focused options available.
So I can see why they’d maybe want to dial it back. Make it more approachable for people looking to just jump in and get into races; have it more about the experience of being in the cars, like in their prior Shift games.
Wonder if Codemasters will eye this as a potential replacement of their Grid series, after the lukewarm reception the last game received.

In reply to Paul Kelly. Why not? Forza calls itself a sim.

Curious to see if Codemasters and SMS have the stones to call this game a sim with such a glaring omission. There’s nothing wrong with taking direct aim at Forza — just don’t call this a sim.
