Worth A Buy is literally the only review channel i trust/respect anymore.
Jake Nolan watch his rainbow six siege revisit but research a bit about the game before
He's a fucking stupid dimwit
Unless you're not a bot he uses for good comments lmao
@@prathameshchavan8350 OK Karen
Same here the rest are all sell outs I get a good laugh of some these videos ya man is pretty funny
Don't let him hear you say that
I am going to ask a few companies to send me some cheap wheel and pedals and do a test on them, maybe they will, maybe they won't but no harm in asking, it would be good for you guys to hear me test them. If you do buy a wheel try and get one with at least 900 degrees rotation, 1080 if you can, it makes a huge difference.
I think Fanatec will definitely aid you in this, Mack. Don't know about the others though, but as I always say... the answer 'no' is something you already have and 'yes' is an answer you can still get. :)
Well if people list the wheels they want me to test, keep them towards the cheap end of the scale I will compile a list and write to them.
Logitech G29 or G920. Thrustmaster T150 and the Fanatec CSL Elite starterpack. I think those are the bottom end force feedback wheels of each manufacturer, even though there are price difference. Personally I think these are the most interesting entry wheels for people getting into the genre, but the Fanatec might be a bit on the pricey side as a pack.
Some manufacturers (at least Fanatec) do black Friday/Cyber Monday sales. So it might be a tip to people to wait for that day in order to save a few pennies.
By the way, Mack. I'm a WMD member and I just want to say a thank you for the kind words in your review. Bandai Namco should've send a press copy to all who asked, so I don't know what went wrong. Truly ashamed for the hick-up that happened there, cause if one person deserves a copy to review than it's you, mate. :)
I'd like to see that as I've never owned any Wheel & Pedal systems before and I think Mack would be the one to convince me on that :)
Yes Mac - I was just going to ask for exactly that!
You just made few people from the dev team (me included) smile :)
I told you while back PC2 will be great ;-)
job well done bud, im enjoying pc 2 a hellofalot 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Good game whatever
Pc2, T500rs, t3pa shifter and an oculus... I come out of races feeling borderline euphoria! A decent online ranking system, a wide range of content, great graphics, full in race weather cycles from rain to thunder to snow... I could go on...
I watched the nurburgring 24hr and was able to recreate the whole race to a tee. No other sim offers that, not even close!
You guys should be proud of yourselves and ignore any haters because PC2 is an absoloute masterpiece!
@El diablo da Costa : So what makes your opinion anymore valid? You're just another troll, as far as I see.
The game is still my favorite racer, and gives much more value over the newly released GT7 with it’s greedy micro transactions and tedious grinding system to buy better cars.
The only "mainstream" person i like reviewing car games is Luke Reily at IGN of all places, because: A).He's an Aussie and B). He's actually into cars and car games....
Just watched his PC2 review, you're right, it's very good.
Andy Clifft yep, that's him...
He's actually GD with many genres and the only good one in IGN actually
Sounds good and all......but can you play as a WOMAN ??!
no woman - no cry...
I want to play as a dolphin

Gid good!!!
*TRIGGERED!!!*
Came back here after watching your pc3 review to make me feel better!
WTF demonitised again. 😲
No saying Christian. This is a Muslim platform now
Allah and God can both suck each other off. No religion for me, thanks. :)
Swearing a lot by just expressing your feelings is a sign of high IQ! :) UA-cam and google and so are a bunch of political correct nancyboys.
+ Inferno
+ Juan Pedro
You're both wrong...I'm pretty sure this is a Jewish platform ;)
"Dont be a dick in the corners" Mack 2017
You fools, Mario Kart DS is far superior to any other driving game.
FACT!!!
Hi
We know
Sorry on the copy mate. It's not on us, but I'll kick Bandai Namco arse! Anyway, throw me a working email for you and I'll get you some goodies. Appreciate the excellent and hilarious review :)
Love the game, thank you
Cheers Ian, my email is in the about section of my UA-cam page :)
Hey Ian toss me some if those goodies if ya got any left
This is my first proper sim racing game with a wheel after playing racing games for years with just a pad. At first I was spinning out and understeering all over the show. Getting there slightly now, but what I love is that I can feel the progression in my driving as my lap time's get better and as I go whole races without losing control. Such a brilliant/rewarding game!
Even though the AI is shit in some cars on some tracks, when it works it works beautifully. The thing I like the most is that they don't take any shit. In other racing games the AI usually gives way or even slows down when you try to overtake. If you bump a car in Project Cars 2, he'll bump you back. If you try to overtake you'll have to fight for every inch. I've never had this kind of wheel to wheel racing against any AI I've raced against before.
diminished Ai shite in Forza, they drive into you on a straight as your alongside !
For those, who notice the "bad" graphics:
It's because he plays it in VR. If you play games in VR mode they downscale the graphics a lot, so you can have the 90 fps on both screens of the headset. Every game does that. Pop in LOD and depths graphics are always totally different in VR than "normal" mode. You'll noice it, but the VR effect is so good most of the times, that it doesn't bother you that much. :)
From PC1 it’s huge improvement, I’m getting better at racing, i was super trash before and now I’m just trash... some times the car doesn’t turn even at low speed but I think it’s my fault. If money is no issue and you got a wheel collecting dust? I’d recommend it. If you’re short on money? Maybe wait for a sale.
May i ask you when it would become on sale? I know its just out, but im wondering if i can save some $ and buy other games as well.
well, depends how big of a sale you want, there's very good website called isThereAnyDeal, you can add your email and they'll email you when it's on sale, you can set how much you want to pay and they'll email you when it hits that price, it's all official stores so non of this G2A bullshit.
Paddzr Alright, thanks!
Man I want VR and a proper wheel setup for this game. I can't get the setup until I move back home in about a year. I have to say - even a controller is good enough (if not a tease) to have a good time for those who love car sims. Great review again!
It has better controller support than PC1 but tbh wheel is a must for games like this to get the best out of it.
VR is brilliant for games that simulate something where you are sat down. For example driving sims or flying sims. VR falls down when it's a game where the character you play as needs to move around.
Considering that you provided their original title with a glowing review the only conceivable reason that the devs didn't provide you a copy is because you've been branded a "wildcard", which is an industry assigned title to people who can't be expected to provide preferential treatment to a game that they have been given a free code for. Sterling has done a whole Jimquisition on this.
I hear you on the VR and for racing sims, no it's not a gimmick, but for everything else I still think it very much is a gimmick. Before I pay for a headset I'm going to need Ready Player One levels of immersion across all titles. Is that a high demand on my part? Yes it is, but for $500 up front just for the headset and hardware I need before I start dishing out money for the games that's the sort of return I need before I make an investment.
Racing is awesome in VR and so is everything else. There's no hiding from this fact. Showed a mate over the weekend and he bought a Rift the same day, remodeled is spare room for VR the next. What was the last game you played where you said 'wow' 'fuck me' 'this is incredible' etc etc every 5 minutes? Get your head out the sand, your hand in your pocket and stop holding PC gaming back.
Cool, your friend *with* *money* bought the Rift and remodeled an *entire* room for VR because he could and he was in his right to do so. And the poor people like me who can't even afford to buy games day one and as such are reluctant to purchasing a VR headset are the problem with the industry and the reason why it is being held back and preventing others from playing games the way the want to.
Considering that you actually went out of your way to attack the poor guy in the room I am going to assume that you are in fact a self-entitled asshole who feels money is no object and finds it so inconsiderate for people like me to express money concerns.
You didn't say you were poor, you said VR was a gimmick and that was the reason you weren't dropping $500, so don't give me your noob, fallacious argument bullshit.
Facts aren't an attack, they're just facts. Lies, bullshit, butt hurt reactions, name calling and insinuation, now that's an attack.
Fair enough. I agreed that for race sims VR is not a gimmick and your response was that I had instead used a blanket statement to see that all VR is a gimmick. Then you proceeded to say that my head was in the sand and that *I* was in the way of progress. That is insinuation.
Cherry picking words and rewriting what I say. You're doing a great job! Internet for idiots 101.
You said '...but for everything else I still think it very much is a gimmick.'
I never said anything about a blanket statement and whether it was blanket or not had zero bearing and what i was saying... so... 'duh' and 'WTF nub?'
I did say 'Get your head out the sand.' because your head is in the sand. In fact your fingers are in your ears, your head is up your arse and your arse is buried in the sand. Listening to the shit you come out with I think this is how you've lived your entire life. We have the next big thing, what TV was to radio and you just want to justify your own moronic, arbitrary and ludditish stance (which you now blame on poverty) to yourself. WOW!!
This argument is far too moronic for me. See ya Billy!
I just bought the deluxe edition dirt cheap with 80% off. Looks like my patience has finally paid off. I don't own vr or steering wheel but own all the NFS and crew games on ps4 but none of them has put a smile on me face like the way project cars2 put. There is really something about this game that brings the inner child out of me when I used to play with toy cars hidden in my school bag.
The racing games on vr are insane. I couldn't believe it. Only been back pc gaming after about 10 years of gaming solely on consoles and I think I picked the perfect time to come back. I never in a million years thought that I'd ever get to wear a vr headset and race around a track using a steering wheel/pedal combo and actually feel like it was real. It's turned me into a 44 year old kid. Makes me grin like never before. Also makes me nearly shit my pants when I crash. Oh the fun😃. Love your reviews by the way.
You did an excellent job describing people like BlackPanthaa. Guy can't drive for shit, yet he's telling people not to buy PC2 and go for arcade games instead. All because he struggles using a controller and is not allowed to go in the opposite direction. Ridiculous.
i watched him years and years ago
dude should keep his sim racing opinion to himself forsure
i doubt he would know how to set up deadzones and stuff without google help :D
I know this video is from 2017, but the opening rant actually made me subscribe. Keep up the good and honest content.
As a simracer and also as casual gamer, i have 2 small things. *no virtual mirror in cockpit cam *saving setup everytime is tedious. Great game!
Even though I do play on console, I absolutely love your channel Mack the only honest reviewer out there. Keep up the good work here in the UK!
Mack: 1st thank you for all these unbiased, authentic, in-depth reviews (especially the racing game reviews). You are my divining rod when it comes to my racing game purchase decisions!
I'm hoping you do a review for Forza 7 since it will be coming out for PC soon. I WAS a Forza fanboy until I played Project Cars 1. I'm curious if Turn 10 stepped up their game now that Slightly Mad Studios dropped the bombshell that is Project Cars.
Though I've played racing games in VR (which I agree with you, you can't go back.) I unfortunately have to, as my VR experiences are on friends setups.
A head to head of PCars 2 vs Forza 7 would be an awesome, awesome, must-watch video by the amazing Mack. (Of course, you'd have to overlook the lack of VR on Forza, because otherwise it's an automatic win for PCars 2)
the real question is...can i have a black bisexual woman as my racing engineer?
FCPwins What???
hahahahahaha!
Why do we put up with being sold Steering Wheels and Pedals for racing sims? I say we just put PS4 controllers in cars and be rid of this foolish circle and stick scam.
I'm so glad they added proper multi-render triple screen support this time. That's one thing that stopped me enjoying the first Project Cars.
I'm glad to see VR supported on day one. I agree with Mack here. It just blew me away. I can't go back to a monitor after switching to a Rift headset for the first game.
Agh, If only I had VR and a wheel...
I already have a joystick, space games in VR seems like a dream as well.
Sadly, saving up is hard when you're renovating and the first kid is coming around :(
Not a big issue but the draw distance in the wing mirrors is awful 😅
Mack - Thank you SO much - I have been waiting for someone to talk about VR aspect of the game.
I loved PCars 1 and waited for your WAB because I wanted to know if it's proper.
I always see the reviews that you mention but nobody talks about the "real deal".
Thanks and keep it up!
I love simulation games, I don’t use the race line but I understand how racing works so I can play these games very well
Only issue is, the game does have a bit of bugs.. i hope they fix them soon.. most of the bugs are with VR and the skip to end of session button. The VR on rift sometimes will have quick flashes.. its not game breaking but it is annoying and I believe they know about it and are fixing it. Second big one is sometimes pressing the skip to end of session if you are in the pit box, it will throw your car violently around the garage damaging it and bugging the game where a restart is needed. Also hitting skip to end will cause the lap times of the ai to change drastically even if you do it with 1'minute left, and you have the fastest time. It will put you to last place and the ai will be faster by like 5 seconds than they were. Then there is the AI, they drive on a rail and if you are in that line they will ignore you and smash right into you ONLY if you have aggression set ABOVE 45. 45 and below the ai try to avoid you. Other than that VR is amazing ive put in over 50+ hours already.... love the game just hope the bugs are patched..
Sim races are the type of people that play the game whilst wearing driving gloves.
imo, the best way to test a wheel is in RF engine ( Automobilista, Raceroom...) Rfactor2 has the best physics and force feedback on the market. AssettoCorsa and Iracing also ok. In games like PCARS2, the differences might be a little harder to detect. Also PCars2 has that forcefeedback flavour setting. Still have to fiddle around more but currently i am using "raw" and turned up the tone to 70, FX at 65.
Mack is quite literally the first reviewer I have seen even mention the Pit Crew Set Up helper thing.
Now, I expect that from IGN, but I've seen the ISRTV and Gamer Muscle reviews, and neither did.
That feature alone has put PC2 back on my wishlist, it is something I hope I can learn as a skill that I can carry into other sims.
Think Mack should have little more respect for sim racers, they are generally reviewing for a very hardcore audience who will want to know even the tiniest flaws with handling and ai etc. Sometimes they can be a bit obsessed with force feedback but these people really know their stuff and are very skilled at driving
I play on the PC and played the first PCARS with both a wheel and a controller and never once had any problems at all, the wheel was slightly quicker but not enough to really make that much of a difference and it was fantastic fun with both.
I've recently been playing PCARS 2 with both and to me at least the controller felt better in the first game, I've had more fish tail slides using the controller in this game than I ever did with the first although that may be me needing more practice with the physics/handling model.
With the wheel though its just fantastic, I only wish I could try it with a Rift or Vive....
What wheel and pedals did you say you were using? Couldn't quite make that out. I'm a bit shocked that the typical price is $400, which honestly is way more than I'm willing to put out for one game genre.
Another awesome review. I love this guy. Game makers take note of UA-camrs influence, as he alone has made me want to buy this more than any crappy advert would of done.
Agreed about VR. It's next level gaming and everyone should save up and get it. Every time I strap it on I'm amazed at how beautiful it is.
Not gonna lie, if you have a racing wheel, you expect the force feedback to be good because you don't have the g-forces that you would if it was a real car.
Can confirm, just brought it...
Joypad, no steering wheel, no vr...
And its fucking awesome as fuck
Custom races had me for 10 hours, just started campaign.... Delighted
Thank you
Them ppl complaining about the top speed: ITS TOO FAST I CANT CONTROL IT I HATE THIS GAME
Me: use the mini cart
Mac I watched all your racing reviews. Please tellme your stance on Gran Turismo sport? I'm on console, please advise what racing sim is better for PS4?
somehow only this guy gets his reviews right. entertaining, good info and just a simple yes or no. thanks mack
cant handle VR. Having a screen shoved in my eye balls just does my head in.
Played this in VR with a steering wheel and hydrologic seating thingamajig at EGX Macketh and it was incredible........i was utter shite at it but it was incredible. I would've loved to have seen you have a go
I've got to say you positively surprised me with the intro here! outstanding review of the game. bought it whilst watching this vid!
A day without Mack, is like a day without crack.
Its 2022 and I am loving this game. I am not that keen on Project cars 3, but PC2 is right on the money for me
Hey Mack. I am a Sim Racer, and have to admit that part of the community are really fanboy toxic about the sims that they don't play. Hence the shit storm by some of them toward PCars2. Anyway, great review and love your enthusiasm. And you're right, when you go VR in these games, there is no going back!
But what is it like for female drivers?
not on topic, but we should start some kind of Mack movement of similar mindset gamers, kind of like opposition against trends publishers are pushing gaming sector. I was in development of PCARS BTW, this game is the perfect example how to do game by listening to community, independent studio created WMD crowd funding and showed EA that they can survive without greedy publishers, this story should become the example for the future of gaming. The other honorable mention is NWI, creators of Insurgency, no publishers but huge sales on Steam only with very dedicated community.
Someone posted this on GTPlanet. Listened for 30 seconds and you had me...lol. Subbed!!
I one played PC1 in VR at the Gamescom, and fuck it you are right, this was the best gaming experience I ever had. Also the Sim Genre has a really big potential for VR i think.
This is why I subscribe to Mack: no sugar-coated, B.S. reviews :)
I like his work so much that I watched this video even though I have absolutely no intention of buying any racing games. They're just not my thing, unfortunately.
Jimmy Nail knows about games
Awesome video Mack! VR FTW!
this guy should whisper us some welshman asmr
I still play the first game with a keyboard, and honestly although hard you get used to the control scheme, although at some point a wheel and pedals i am going to buy for that immersive gameplay.
Well I think it's official Mack 3 mins in and I already fucking love you Mack
I chose that Merc car too for first play thru . GFX are mint
Currently playing with a controller. Its fun but I can tell a wheel and pedals will be so much better. I'll be putting funds together to get a Fanatec Wheel and Pedal Setup ASAP!
How can a gamer of your caliber and experience not know Brands Hatch? Impossible!!!
I hope they've fixed the motion blur problem from the first Project Cars... I really wanted to get stuck into that game, but I couldn't play for more than half an hour without getting a splitting headache. I messed with the FOV a lot, but it made no difference.
In 2022 still love this game. So much better than PC3
Nice review Mack. I'm not into racing games at all, but wow how things have come on over the years.
I picked up this game and Mack is right! This game rocks, I'm lovin' it. Most FUN I've had playing a racing game in probably a decade.
I found exactly the people Mack was talking about. biggest example (MY PROJECT CARS DAY ONE EXPERIENCE)
@Worth A Buy - Mack, I have been thinking buying a Rift for racing but I am worried about all the mentioning of getting sick. Is there such a thing of getting used to it or did you just strap it on and enjoy? Also, thanks for all the vids - I am about your age and notice a lot of myself in you (also the private life shit). You are that reviewer that has it almost 100% right so I buy games upon your wab results. Keep up the good work, the swearing, the bell, the you being you - I wish you mega joy playing and reviewing video games!
Play on a controller, feels better then any other racing sim having a blast.
I've never really gotten into racing sims, but this makes me want to buy a wheel/pedals.
And I have the vive, so this might be the game to play.
Ohhhh booooy I am excited for this. Still trying to save up for wheel and pedals, but now I also wanna get a 144hz monitor. I will probably end up getting the monitor first since I don't have VR anyway.
I don't fancy racing games much, but I'm glad I could contribute to Mack enjoying them since the monetization on these videos is fucked.
Ahhh that race engineer giving advice is awesome!
Thanks Mac for adding bell end to my vocabulary
this is the best game I've played, you won't be surprised to know that the people that don't like it have never taken a car on a track before
Put 17 hours into this over the weekend already. Knew you'd love it! Also, just in case you didn't know, you can use WASD when in the cockpit view to adjust the camera height and foer/aft position. I notied your cockpit cam in VR was quite low down (perhaps on purpose?) but just thought I'd mention as I stumbled on this by accident.
Finally a review that will make me get this game! straight to the point!
I like driving in quick race and experimenting with different cars on different tracks and conditions the most anyway
Nice review Mack. Have you tried Automobilista, by the way? What do you think of that?
I am absolutely loving this game. It is a big leap forward from the first game, FFB feels good especially if you download the Jack Spades FFB settings. Yes the AI can be a bit dodgy at times. Love the weather system and live track 3.0, had a race at Brands Hatch and halfway through there was a thunderstorm. The track became soaking wet, there was forked lightning, claps of thunder, a great challenge and loads of fun.
Like Mac said, ignore some of the reviews and especially the ones on Steam.
Great review. What type of Wheel and Pedals are you using? GDA 300? GT 8300? I can't tell what you said @ 4:27
Is it so hard to make a good looking tree model in a 2017 racing game?
a race game should focus on racing and not trees :P
Who fucking cares about trees, even Assetto Corsa has bad trees and nobody cares
@@elvitu8038 there's always some ppl in the bunch that just has to complain about something, when everything else is great... never satisfied
Thanks for never selling out Mac. Thanks for always being honest and unbiased
Having invested in the last few months in VR, and more recently a logitech G29 and Project Cars 2, I couldn't agree with this review more. With a shit hot PC, VR and a proper wheel (preferably with clutch and H shifter, though not necessarily essential), racing games have gone from something i passively enjoyed (and actively avoided in VR), to being the absolute pinnacle of gaming experiences.
This game is awesome. I've only got a controller but it feels perfect straight out of the box, the driving is so satisfying. Much better than Assetto Corsa, and a lot better than the first PCARS.
Only stumbled upon your channel the other day, love it! I've watched loads of your videos and seem to agree with everything you say, I'm an old fart too though lol. Wish I'd seen this particular video a few weeks back before I bought Forza 7! :(
You are now my go to reviewer :)
Another great review! I can't wait to get Project Cars 2. I bought an Oculus several weeks ago, and it's transformative! Playing Project Cars 1 in VR is mind-blowing, especially on the Nordschleife! I had a 3-screen setup before that, and I could never go back to using it after VR. Now, PC2 is out and looks AMAZING! I'm pumped! I'm using a fairly basic Logitech G27 wheel and pedals and it works well, too. The VR was worth the investment far more than a better wheel and pedals. If you love racing, buy a VR kit - worth every penny.
2:14 that was nice :^D
Race Engineer is fantastic for Beginners like me :) omfg, look at this cockpits :O i need this game
Just bought this today really looking forward to it!
Mack, I hope you will be reviewing PC3... The bold claims they make and the words, the words of the devs (and CEO Ian Bell) are "this is a gamechanger". Looking forward to your review of PC3 :-)
Best review I've seen yet
DDan Beatz u didn't even watch it yet
DDan Beatz is it? So its not worthy of mentioning how laggy the menus are in a review? Or mention the bugs? Yea great review indeed.
When you ask the mechanic guy what's wrong does he ever tell you 'you're shyte!'?
Wholeheartedly agree game is brilliant. The different disciplines of racing might not be the absolute best compared to other sims with a smaller scope. However the variety and dynamic weather/time makes it a fantastic game.
Great review Mac, the only channel I'd trust for a racing game review
I work at brands Hatch so is cool to recognise the track
Mack, I have a CV1, I have a 1080 and I have Assetto Corsa. Very much tempted by this, especially after your review (same age group, expectations etc..)but what I want to know is, take away the night/day and weather.. How does it actually 'feel' compared to AC. I bought PC1 when it came out and loved it in the DK2, but when I bought AC, I never played it again. Are they compareable in a realistic feel?
If you have a mainstream wheel and not some obscure £1000 contraption then it will be supported well in this game and tbh the FFB is amazing. AC is a great game but I prefer this as it has way more depth to play with on the cars and tracks. It's very hard on some cars Formula A for example, I have read loads of people claiming it's got tyre bugs but it's actually about learning to feather the throttle and lengthen the gear rations to keep the back end from spinning out when you hit the throttle. Both games are very similar and both drive well so tbh it's more down to the extra content with PC2
Thanks Mack. Yeah I have a G27.
coppermine64 ive got a cv1 1080 and i5 7500 also like you i prefer asseto corsa over pcars 1 but this game for the most part is very similar i tried the zonda r at nordshlife (laserscanned) in both sims and was staggerd at how close they felt i have a thrustmaster tx . what this has over ac is the range of content im loving both titles and highly recomend p cars 2
Oculus + G920 + Dirt Rally/Project cars = Best £700 ever spent (Finland in Dirt Rally using 2004 Subaru is hands down the most fun I've had in a game)
That is a very nice setup
Well it is until you hear that I'm using a garden chair and a £10 desk from Argos ...
