"a bunch of pissed off accordions on a race to Armageddon" this guy's analogies are always hilarious.
Karak is a master wordsmith for sure. Not only is his vocabulary huge, he also does it *on the spot* rather than reading a script. That takes some serious skill. I can't help but wonder how his mixtape would've sounded like if he wasn't a full-time gamer lol
WarriorWithin111 Probably like Aesop Rock
I took your advice and decided to wait for sale on this one, and honestly after coming from Gran Turismo 6 and Forza 6? This is a nice substitute while I wait for a full Gran Turismo on PS4
enjoy. Fun game at times
There is absolutely NO REASON to demonetise this video. It makes me sick that the countless hours that get spent on a video like this is comparable to someone streaming a match of PUBG. They are not equal in the slightest.
Lots of content here and some great gameplay. But it needs a patch and a bit of finesse for me. And its Steam reviews are horrid.
The screen tearing and other issues Digital Foundry pointed out do indeed happen from time to time. I tested with cars on a track with every number of opponents available and anything above 24 starts to incur some performance and image issues
+ACG Cheers for bringing up how well the gamepad worked, it was a big point for me. Those shadows were horrendous and with the other issues I'll definitely wait. I still have Forza coming in under two weeks so that'll do me for racing.
ACG so..as the first game we still need to tune the helll out of cars and steering settings to enjoy the game in the Xbox?No thanks
The PS4 Pro renders at 2560x1440p that is upscaled to 4K. Better meshes, better details, higher shadows, high def textures.
You just bought yourself a "Never receive a review copy from Slightly Mad...ever" ticket. They dont like these kind reviews. Holy crap...you needed to see the forums after the release of PC 1 !!
Michael Salo Better graphics/resolution, frame rate.
Thanks for not throwing 7 ads during the video👍
Have waited for a sale: just picked this game up. I love me some racing games.
You are as always the ONLY reviewer I trust these days, thank you Karak
ill never play this, but here i am watching this because i enjoy your reviews. keep up the good work man!
Mr. Penguin
why you don't want to play it?
KD KD is this worth to buy now
I've just watched 4 or 5 of your reviews, in my research for the current PSN sale. I wanted to say thank you, for the handy yellow border on your thumbnails! That makes it so easy to find yours (the best content) in a big list. Best wishes to you Karak, and happy holidays
9:57 - Not actually playable out of the box on a PS4 gamepad.
You have to put ALL the assists on, full, especially #SteeringAssist, apart from Braking Assist (definitely OFF), and turn #PC2 into an arcade racer.
Here's what fixes most cars/events:
Steering Assistance - Yes
Braking Assistance - No
Driving Assists - Full
Anti-Lock Brakes - High
Stability Control - On
Traction Control - High
Steering Deadzone - 0
Steering Sensitivity - 0
Throttle Deadzone - 0
Throttle Sensitivity - 0
Brake Deadzone - 0
Brake Sensitivity - 100
Clutch Deadzone - 0
Clutch Sensitivity - 0
Speed Sensitivity - 100
Controller Damping - 75
Controller Vibration - 100
Minimum Shift Time - 0
RPM/Gear Display - Yes
The steering Speed Sensitivity, at 100, is sometimes too high for slow cars/bends, and you have massive #UnderSteer and can't go round normal corners - needs to be 80 or less, maybe, sometimes - it's this setting which is broken in the game. Sometimes Steering Sensitivity is broken too, so might need putting up to 25.
...Some cars/tracks/event styles, like Rallycross, are just plain broken though, with you being unable to steer, accelerate, or brake!
You'll also need to put Gear Up on Square, Gear Down on X, and Handbrake on Circle, leaving Triangle for KERS (if needed?).
Change View - R1, Look Behind - L1, Headlights - L3, Wipers - R3. Right Stick to look around and D-pad for ICM (In-Car Management computer) or, alternatively, for turning On/Off the Driving Assists, or anything else you need. 👍
6.9/10 - yet still the best driving game on #PS4? 😂😭
No wonder you’re having such a tough time. Your setting are trash lmao
This better not get demonitized thanks as always ACG for the great reviews
PC: 1060, i5 4th gen, 16gb of ram High settings with some stuff on medium (Shadows and such) runs stable 60
One thing I found interesting in your review is your comment about the AI. From other reviewers who have had the opportunity to preview this game they seemed to feel like the AI had dramatically improved as some of the drivers would make mistakes and not take the absolute perfect line etc, and that was a huge selling point for me (as mostly an offline player).
So yeah, I find that interesting that you haven't had the same experience ...
sounds like our thoughts are the same then. I discuss just that after I talk about the odd steering issue
Good AI has never been defined to me. You have GT 1 AI that is fast but sticks to a track line like glue. You have GT5/6 AI that is slow ( except for the lead car), and cedes way to you . You have NFS/Motorstorm AI that is both fast but deliberately goes out of its way to ram you off the track . You have driveclub AI that is fast, and incredibly reactive etc. Iv played hundreds of racing games and honestly peopel who claim games have Bad AI are talking out their ass. An AI is only bad if it's slow or downright intrusive. I don't see why people insist on having AI competitors wreck every damn race. Its rare when you have some idiot overshoot a turn in real life
BEST REVIEWS on UA-cam, period. And how you have the time to do them so quickly is beyond me. You deserve 2M subscribers
Dude your amazing . Wrc7 and now this . Respect for getting these reviews out early . Fan for life right here
I bought the PC version before it went on sale (in November) and I can confidently state that it is worth every dollar. The sheer amount of cars and the variety of tracks as well as the innovative interface provides a treasure of content to explore over a series of weeks if not months. If the multiplayer quick matches and leagues kick in, then people can finally say farewell to the pay to race multiplayer games such as IRL. The racing engine will please everyone except for the hard-core ultra-realists who demand a type of realism that will not allow any forgiveness in the racing model that isn't explictly compensated by the car setup or endemic to the car itself. But time always tells in major titles like this. The sheer improvement over PC 1, provides a visceral satisfaction; akin to the feeling that: yes! I was right; NOW the car feels like the physics I could at least imagine as possible if not EXACTLY corresponding to reality. The A.I. is not perfect but the 2 degrees of adjustment : Skill and Aggression; allow the user to customize a race with greater flexibility. Now you can run a race with a skill closing matching or even exceeding your typical potential and actually enjoy the experience without frustration.
Can't wait for GT Sport
mr. Karak, do you inject Redbull into your veins?
YOU'RE ON FIRE WITH ALL THESE REVIEWS! xD
When you reviewed the sound, but played no sounds other than your commentary, I was bugged.
Damn ACG a review for project cars and MVC infinite; u are a busy man my friend and I love u for it!
I love how glassless cars have a smashing glass sound.
Oh boy I just LOOOVE your similes. I also love that you don't overdo them, so they are more impactful when they hit my brain.
Your reviews always rise above excellence. Thank you for your hard work!
You should write an audiobook about keeping a dope-ass beard
Came here after I saw IGN;s typical "its the best game ever" review, so happy I did, not buying it yet
This + Forza 7 = Perfect Racing Games for this year, GT Sport doesn't have enough to make me want it, and NFS looks like a re-skinned 2015
Man - I love your reviews. No matter what the title you are covering you handle them all with the same expertise and acumen and that is incredible man. I appreciate just how much time you put into these pieces just to help us make a purchase decision. Thanks man!
thanks
Darn shame that I can't get rid of my VR sickness. I couldn't complete one lap on Laguna Seca with a HTC VIVE without laying down for the rest of the day.
So you couldn't even get it to run on PC? wtff
CosmicNIO Which is confusing since most if not all gameplay that are on youtube are on PC
I didn't think the PC version was even out yet? On Steam it says the 21st...
It's not but some people get press version before the game comes out
which in FH3 was due to drive setting. If you were a guy like me with a very small but fast boot drive for OS only and other drives for games (Twin samsung 850evos in RAID 0 for D: drive aka gaming) and a pair of WD caviar black in RAID 1 for mass storage, you couldn't get the game to run, because it wouldn't install it on your D: drive. Huge fucking oversight.
I have had no problems running this game on PC? Just clicked play.
Max settings and MSAA medium in 2.5k runs at 130FPS for me?
Funny how people are so quick to bash anything project cars(not talking about the host of this vid). And "fanboys"? Some of you ignorant little turds talk so much shite over a sim vs a simCADE game. EVERY GAME has had glitches and bugs at the start and I like how no one will admit that project cars actually got BETTER and runs incredibly smooth. Who's to say PC2 won't get the same treatment. Forza and GT Sport will be awesome titles in their own regards so how come we can't simply acknowledge that all of these are what we've asked for but ACCEPT that each game will have some initial flaws. Assetto Corsa, Forza aren't perfect and neither has Gran Turismo ever been. I respect and honestly appreciate someone's difference of opinion. But lets not go shaming and labeling other people just because you may feel one game is more real or more fun than another.
well considering the SMS PROMISED features on Pcars 1 that many of us backers paid them to develop. That decade old games had (animated pit crews for example) and a lot of tracks that they allegedly had the license for never showed up yet are in the new game. Yeah SMS deserves every single piece of bashing they get. Because instead of finishing the product, like they said they would. They went and "made a new product" that we have to pay for AGAIN.
Fuck SMS.
*Applauses*
Two years ago I came for the reviews and I stayed for the amazing analogies. Love your shit ACG, keep it up! Best reviews that don't waste my time and hold my attention.

if you're waiting for a sale, it's up for 30 bucks on the xbox store til 12/10. thanks for the review!
You should make those audio books patreon rewards, you'd never have to worry about money ever again.
brilliant
Can you give me a shouts outs when you make it big on Oprah?
I thought the audio books were a running in-joke. Nope, they real.
Glad to see they improved the Audio compared to the first one but unfortunate that the shadows are still the same garbage, also in the first game during sunsets it was very hard to see anything when you are in cockpit view, like unnaturally hard to see compared to real life when driving during sunsets, I hope this was fixed?
I didnt have to many probs with that
Nice review as always. This year I a bit of a beast in terms of racing games. Besides project cars, we had that rally7 game you reviewed, a dirt game, GT sports and Forza Motorsport 7.
Darsh Jalan yes. Great year for car guys!
And NFS Payback. As crap as the franchise is right now, it is slowly coming back to its former self.
"That rally 7 game"?
I think he meant WRC 7. :) You maybe understood that, but I just felt I had to explain.
JDINCINERATOR yeah wrc7 idiot
Nice PC2 review. I'm an enthusiastic sim racer with loads of hours in various games including PCARS and this is a pretty even handed early review of the retail release. Enjoyable to watch too, thanks for making.
thanks
ACG also forgot to include: hilarious
So i won't run to the store. Put my running shoes back in the box. Waiting for a sale.
GT Sport would've been great but lack of single player career ruined it for me. Probably have to buy this once it's a bit cheaper...
Sony fuckboi alert! Get triggered bitch.
GT Sport does have a single player campaign - ua-cam.com/video/XpJYtFTt2DY/v-deo.html
Combustion69 konami? are you stupid?
I'm from the future and I can confirmed this..
Combustion69 LOL konami its pholyphony digital
Always a fantastic review!
It looks a little rough, no doubt. Though I really like the dynamic weather system. Love the increase in cars and track layouts, as well. But ultimately, I'll take your advice and wait for a sale. Forza 7 is upon us, as is the next GT.
Unlike most people nowadays, I could care less about graphics. As long as the game is fun to play, It's a win for me! Preordered and I can't wait to play it tomorrow.
Excellent review thanks for the insight 👍👏
ACG thanks for saving me so much money and keeping me from buying games that don't deserve my money. You've also made me happy when I've spent full price on a new release that passes your detailed reviews. Giving you a percentage of what I would've wasted on patreon = winning!
sure!
im impressed at your racing knowledge, not everone know what wrinkle wall slicks are....not bad
Great review. Unlike so many other sim reviewers, who half of which seem to be paid by, or supported by the developer in some sense. I can't believe that you are one of the ONLY people calling out the bugs and issues. I bought it and it sux -I really dont care about them making it simulate the clouds and atmosphere to generate rain, when the game has annoying graphics stuttering, and the campaign is utterly marred by the terrible AI.
Shame on those other reviewers.
Racing games aren't just one broad genre where most games are interchangeable. If you want something different than rally or F1 - eg. GT, touring cars, maybe some street legal supercars, lower end open wheelers, prototypes - the choices in the sim genre on consoles are really not very plentiful at all.
Yes, the XBox has Forza (the one game series that has several times made me consider buying an XBox) and the PS4 will very soon have GT Sports which in many areas still looks decidedly underwhelming to me so far.
But other than that you have... well, Project Cars 1 and Assetto Corsa. The latter is a very fine driving sim with some of the best handling I've ever felt - even thinking back quite a while to the years where I still had a gaming PC and various Logitech wheels (I'm now on PS4 with a Thrustmaster wheel) - but it's quite limited in its track selection, on consoles it's limited to 16 cars on track, no proper career mode, no night time and weather, only just got patched with AI that can actually race. So it's basically great for hotlapping on a limited selection of tracks, leaving Project Cars (1 and 2) as the only full featured multi class racing sim on consoles that's competing with respectively Forza and GT.
I think I'll wait a while and see if some patches can polish this game out. Thanks!
Surprised to see PC2 review up already. Yo da man!
Entirely disagree.. Especially your point about the cars having a "tactile" feel; these vehicles have the most tactile and "real" feel of any driving game I've played in recent memory. Project Cars 2 improves upon the first in every way and focuses heavily on simulation as opposed to say, Forza, and nails it. I'm absolutely loving it!
The pendulum effect too whenever you take a corner, thats what rlly got me, and it was impossible to counter steer once you over steered
Got this on sale for £14.99 well worth it and i suck at driving games 😏
I am so glad that you reviewed this. I was thinking about picking this up, but it sounds like I will skip it for now. Maybe I will just hold out hope for GTSport.
*hears the intro, hits the like button*
Excellent review again! This is a game I've been waiting for and looking forward to so I appreciate hearing a review from someone I've quickly grown to respect. You always cover the most important aspects of the games and always call it how to see it.. Much respect for that. I was on the fence about waiting for a sale on this but I'm sure I will now after your review... Thanks again bro and keep up the awesome videos. If I wasn't on a limited income you'd prolly be the first person I would be a patron to. Thanks!
Great video. I'm new to all of this but I'm learning. Thanks
The MOST important thing is the car physics and FFB.
Great review as always. Glad you mentioned the loading times... that was my main issue with PC1 and that is why I won't be getting PC2. I think PC1 was fun but the loading times were so bad i just stopped playing it. Keep up the great work!
The one thing i couldn't stand with the first game was the sense of speed or lack of, my eyes were telling me i was doing 30 the speedometer was telling me i'm going 60
Good review as always Karak! I appreciate you saving me some cash on this one. I was going to pick it up, but I'll guess wait for them to fix these issues and for it go on sale.
Don't give a F about sim racing but here to support ma boi Karak
A solid review, still on the fence on this series as the first one didn't have much in the way of American cars I like at launch. No Mopar either sadly.
This is not "only" their second game, this is SMS from NFS Shift, Shift 2 Unleashed and Ferrari Test Drive (more?) and the first Pcars. This is a real lineage and you see a lot of similarities.
the only review i need...thank you man...i always look up to your reviews before buying a game...
That atrocious LOD and frame pacing? The console effect.
Project Cars was fine while Gran Turismo was absent from PS4, but now the king is back! and this time it's all about GT Sport, also PCars doesn't support the PSVR, at least GT sport will have a game mode for VR.
I'm afraid GT sport will not bring back the glory days of GT. Mostly because of the lack of career mode and FULL psvr support. Still pissed about the latter :(
This game is basically project cars 4. Nfs shift was like the hidden project cars
I bought the first Project Cars on XBox when it went on sale and got very frustrated because the gamepad controls were messed up and no matter what settings I tried, I could never get it to the point where I could enjoy driving like I could in Forza or Gran Turismo. Excellent review and it reinforces my wait and see approach to Project Cars 2. Would love to see you do a review of Forza Motorsport 7 when it comes out.
Man, I'm still amazed by you're reviews... How do you keep reviewing ALL games...? Awesome work keep it up and take some rest from time to time man...
Really Great review karak 😀 Such a shame with the small "bugs" it did look like a lot of fun, but Hey as you Said with a few patches it might be Great 😀
agreed
I have a feeling the PC release is going to be drastically better. I've been watching tons of Beta PC gameplay and none of it looks like this.
Maybe issues cropped up in the last moments but chances are PC is just the definitive version, though Xbox X may come in a close 2nd place if they give it a nice patch for the X.
I agree on you with all the bugs, but for the physics and the force feedback on the steering wheel its easily one of the best sim racing games there is....
m,
*^* _my dog just typed that._
Great review, loved the "ass hat" comment, I laughed out loud on that one.
so glad I found your channel!! so many people giving this game insane reviews, glad you give the real story. easy sub.
I wanted PC2 to be good since it seemed like it has a lot to offer. I was going to pick it up day 1 for the PC. Some of the UA-cam racing videos featuring PC2 had me hyped. The cars, sound and sense of speed looked great. Now I'll wait for a sale and a couple of patches if I buy it at all. Seriously, what is with no headlights at night? Flickering shadows I would turn off until they are fixed. Thanks for the excellent review ACG!
What’s the best driving game to play on PS4 Pro at the moment. I was looking forward to Gran Turismo Sport but with no single player career mode I won’t be buying it.
Disappointing, another game where you have to wait for a patch. Come on! Stop releasing unfinished games.
compared to PCars 1 that was a real mess, the flickering and the framerates are nothing. these minor things will get patched in no time
they are just graphics bugs...
the game is finished just need like few hours of polish
so ill wait for this to be 20 bucks on PC. Hopefully Forza 7 and GT Sport pan out
Now is your chance. $15 in the steam summer sale.
"Hey mom look no headlights" killed me
"There are few things as sphincter tightening"
Looks like the AI is driving with ASWD.
Fantastic Video
Defiantly the best part is the analogies. Great writing
Yeah that feeling of weight is what a lot of racing games lack.
If those graphical issues, the loading times and the problems with AI are the biggest issues here btw, and everything else works good, I think I would still enjoy this one! Especially since it seems to have quite a lot of Rallycross content. I bought PC1 not long after launch, and still had some fun with it, despite it's broken state... and Rallycross being abscent! :D
we need another full auto game. that game was crazy..
Now thats a proper review. Good job.
Force feecback is going to be the killer for me. It was fairly terrible in the first game so hoping for some serious improvements in tyre feel for the new game.
When you break, to me it sounds like puppies barking 🐶
hahahha
Thanks for the review, was really helpful. Guess I'll wait for forza!
The first game was almost unplayable with a controller, glad they fixed it this time around, still GT Sport is the one for me this year.
Its still unplayable with a controller :/
Gt sport is a shocking game like really bad how you you be in devolment for so long and come out with that?
You have such a nice manner of speech. I bought the game, but I watched the review just because I love these reviews so much)))
Great review as usual! Although I'm not sure how you can say the genre is highly contested? There's pretty much this or Asseto Corsa (Or Forza if you're OK with more of an arcade experience). I can see the devs weren't quite able to hit that mainstream appeal they were going for, and I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing.
How many project cars are in the game project cars? when i think project car, i think building up an old beat up barn find car into a beast of a car.
Finally a racing game in Silent Hill
I have to admit, there are places on the Internet where I scroll/fast forward to the end just to check out the final verdict. It's a dumb thing to do, I know, but sometimes you just don't have the time, especially if it's a game you're not very interested in.
But on this channel I find myself watching entire videos of games I'm not even very interested. I mean, I haven't played driving games since Gran Turismo on PS2, and yet I found this video both informative and entertaining. You're doing awesome work, man. I hope you keep doing it for a very long time.
On the off chance that you actually read and reply to this comment: Do you plan to review Divinity: Original Sin 2?
thanks!
I still play gran turismo 2-4
I will buy gtsport
but I really want project cars 2
I hope they fix the shadows. It is very distracting and ruins the replays
Great Video. Thanks for all the little details. you got a new subscriber.
Dope review as per bro and I've been on the fence about getting this on pc, so thanks for the timely review I'll wait for a sale or patch
I pre-ordered this game and your review with determine if I purchase or cancel.
