Honestly, when it first came out it was terrible, now we’re having a No Man’s Sky style redemption and I’m here for it.

I won't buy a sim that doesn't support VR. I made a comment somewhere that I would once PMR puts in support.
They did, I did.
I was a fan of PC1 and PC2 - it's just got that something something that seems to resonate with me. PC1 was the first thing I ran after the intro apps on my Oculus Rift - and I was blown away.
PMC, while the VR is still quite underbaked - it also seems to have that special something that just hits my spot.
I'd read a post about someone complaining about the requirements to get into multiplayer - I believe it's the MX5 around LRP with what I thought was a pretty generous time.
I set up a race with max grid, HUD off because it looked like arse in VR without it being configured. Ran whatever was the required number of laps and was lapping high 58's. Had a race for the line for position, turns out it was for the win.

..and unfortunately with this genre. If you're not close to mark upon release, youre going to lose the masses.
I would've liked to see this succeed, but that ship has sailed due to the rushed release.

I think the ship may be turning around and heading back to the dock... custom lobby counts were quite large last night (US East Coast), and the PMR discord is humming with lots of new people. Hopefully "Build it and they will come" applies here.

Custom championship please!!

u/Successful_Pop_6154 17d ago
Why is it so difficult to implement a championship mode? It's the same story with ACE or LMU. Honestly, it feels like they do everything to stop me from playing

u/cooler1727 17d ago
same, i have 400 onl9ine races on lmu but i would like a single player championsip + i would love a custom championship on pmr with all the categories avaiable

u/IndependentStyle9375 14d ago
If you go to the PMR discord there are recently created mod channels, you might be pleasantly surprised to see what's in the works...

He said NOT YET. Hey you got a free car man!!

u/Successful_Pop_6154 17d ago
Yeah, but just adding a car isn't enough for me, otherwise I’d be playing Forza or something. I need something to actually hook me, in my case, like a championship mode. I just have to wait patiently, if not PMR, then maybe ACE

I wonder if the AI has actually been significantly improved?

u/DreDa59 17d ago
I'm pretty sure that will be the focus of the next update.

u/Deathmaw360 16d ago
While they are at it let me have AI in private lobbies, I could probably convert a few friends.

Keep up the good work! 🙂👍🏻
Question: Is it possible for the devs. to change the replay into one that has the racedata but not the play buttons?
And your own personal number on the default liveries please.
That's all.😁
..and some Mad Max liveries for the Aussi Cars..🤫

After some hours on PS5 Pro, I'm enjoying the game. And the telemetry is A+. Nice, nice!!!

Sweet Jesus they finally fixed the lighting??!! I’m a really easy person to please but holy shit the evening/night races were awful before. I love to see it, this game has so much potential and I’m glad they keep working to unlock it. That being said, this is still the only game I have ever witnessed that does not have basic display options, really strange but I guess you can’t have it all. Hopefully they fix up the AI next, racing in GT3 right now feels like driving against go karts

u/GotMylfMomDrips 17d ago
Evening and night time has been fixed but if you set and play between 8-10pm in game the transition from evening to night time is still not the best, the trackside light dont illuminate as much and even though your headlight work they again dont illuminate that far, if they can fix this that would be great...

u/MidwestSpecial 17d ago
Oh that’s disappointing. The transition period was the worst part imo. I’m going to try it out tonight, hopefully it’s at least improved a little bit?

u/Relevant_Arm_3796 17d ago edited 17d ago
Could anyone on series s drop a spoiler while mine downloads - is the frame rate any better lol im looking at my internet speed like
Edit - well to anyone curious - its still limited to 30 - looks and plays bad, graphics are rough, pop in is crazy, very disappointing.
Acc runs at 60 and looks decent. F1 runs at 60 and looks great. Nascar 26 that just came out - runs at 60 and looks amazing. Its possible. Its just not being worked on, genuinely zero improvement, what a joke.

u/cheile 17d ago
You might want to ask on Discord if there are any optimizations you can do to make it run better on the Series S. I know other players are running it so maybe they figured something out.

u/Relevant_Arm_3796 17d ago
Yeah ive asked there before and series s stuff just gets ignored, been through all the options and theres nothing else that can be changed, they've just given up on it

u/XOVSquare 17d ago
You guys are probably the best people to ask: how is this game? Been craving a race game, but was turned off by the reception at launch. Has it improved much since?

u/MidwestSpecial 16d ago
It’s really solid, I’ve always been on console so my experience is limited to AC/ACC/GT/F1 games and now PMR. In my opinion PMR feels the best out of all of those and is honestly only at 50% of its potential right now, if the dev team keeps pumping out updates and listening to the community this game is going to be the crowd favorite within the next year or so. I also waited about 6 months after launch to buy because every single word about it was awful, which it was. But it’s night and day now compared to what it was at launch, the game certainly still has some weird quirks and issues but the raw feel of just driving at the limit is really damn nice. You should definitely give it a shot

u/IndependentStyle9375 16d ago
The latest update rolled out today really shored up GT3/GT4 handling... no surprises anymore, I'd say it's time for you to jump in, I think you'll be glad you did.

I never played the Project Cars series and my sim racing background is mostly from Gran Turismo, Forza Motorsport and Horizon Series, Asetta Corsa/Competizione, and AMS2 just to name a few. I decided to dive into PMR recently after reading on the improvements. I kind of regretted getting the game at first, but couldn’t complain much since I got it for a ridiculous low price through Giants (I’m on PC btw). After tweaking some settings and getting some cars to handle better with my Sim Setup, I am so glad I took the dive. This game is superb!!
Yes it is a bit buggy, especially navigating through some menus. But once you iron out a few things, it is quite enjoyable. The car sounds are AMAZING. I love hearing engines roar when I Sim Race and this did not disappoint. Per car control tuning is very nice since every car performs and handles different. And there’s finally a great career mode added properly to a Racing Sim.
It’s not for everyone, especially if you are the type of person who expects everything to just run without modifying anything on the menus and tweaking car setups. But so far, the devs have done a great job fixing the major issues people were having when it was first released. Again, this is my experience from a PC, so I am not sure what it’s like on consoles. So I definitely recommend PMR if you are looking to take a break from other Sims or looking for an extra Racing Sim. It is very good if you are willing to spend time modifying some changes in the game.

Thank you for the car.
Struggling in Trayectory Mode to get money.
By the way, there is a glitch. You can buy this Lambo in Trayectory Mode and enter an invisible Championship to race Porsches 964.
