Aye, as much as I doubt it being beyond me (and a few helpful online guides) technically, time and patience wise I would rather have somebody do it all for me. A good pc rig with VR would be the nuts, but I'm sorta half thinking if Scorpio can knock it out the park with what's under the hood then I might be tempted to go with that instead. A pc would ultimately end up being something I constantly want to upgrade and spend money on. With regard to direct drive wheel... it's the ONLY way to fly (or, well, drive). I can only draw comparrisons with turntables being DD or otherwise and the difference with the magnets is just incredible. If it's made well it should last for a very long time. My 1210s are 24 years old, been used by hundreds of people in clubs and fields for decades and never even needed a service. DD wheel + PC + Projicars tway = gallus! Moved house a couple weeks ago, I now have much more room to play at highway pirates... Only problem I have with Scorpio is MS isn't going down VR route there using hololens which is AR oh the joys of beta max and vhs all over again. So I can't get VR on xbox with no viable road map in sight, so lets go down playstation route which has VR .....oh no what's that my frigging really expensive wheel won't work with playstation and is likely never to actually work . Oh and if I move from xbox how will I beat you in pcars 2 TT sessions Oooh. Fighting talk.... I haven't really been following too much Scorpio stuff just yet, but I would've hoped they would at least have the facility to adopt VR should the software actually become more than what it is currently. Must say though, that hololens kinda interests me - I'm not into minecraft, but see if I could build a virtual thing on my coffee table? Like AR lego? I'd jump at that. What I would like is something similar but geekier, like engines or aeroplane parts. To open up and learn about. Considerably less messy and far cheaper than the real thing. In reality Scorpio will get bought before considering a PC, even if it's just so I can show you my dust on the leaderboard When is Proji2 scheduled for this year? Hopefully a smoother launch, if you think of the first game as a huge beta for it. I guess now they don't need to build the entire thing from scratch.

Hey guys, good to see you back Inner. Those wheels are not something I can envisage laying out for... I fell off the chair when inthebagbud bought his Fanatec It would definitely need a lottery win of a serious nature before I was looking down that route lol. VR is something I have not looked much into yet.. I still don't think it's ready for long term racing use personally. Last time I tried it it was very disorienting. Project Cars 2 is due for release around September but the reality is more likely Q1 2018. Personally I am fine with the longer lead time as there is currently so much good racing on console that fitting in anything else right now is nigh on impossible and the longer it takes there's more chance of less bugs.. Hopefully lol.

Not really for early adoption on VR. I feel a little bit of deja vu coming on here but I too would be happier waiting for a more polished product.

EEEP! EEEP! It's a lengthy viewing this, at 30 mins odd... But it's got me excited! Please don't promise us the earth again! Well, do, but also please deliver it this time! I did laugh at him saying all the things wrong with Projicars were fixed on day 1 of development of 2. Ha. My powers of scepticism are strong but I shall remain interested in how it all pans out. Think we'll get the release this year? And looks as though we will have admin options built in to set up challenges rather than set options offline between ourselves.

Innerspace HQ just watched the video and yes it looks very impressive. I have to say , having access to pcars2 forum I am dubious about September and was when it was said . They are being very adventurous and there is other stuff going on that they haven't even mentioned yet . I just hope that when Andy said all those things had been fixed that they do not have to eat their words, I am not disagreeing with him as I can't play the beta as it is only available to pc members at present but I am not sure it is 100% accurate .

I think we're all on the same page with that hope of undigested words, bud. How is the new forum? I looked at the old forum for the first time in well over a year last night and found it almost totally empty. It was a horribly angsty place before... Now it was a ghost town. 3 users online... I'm really hoping the admin options are good so we can set stuff up between us and people can find it if they search and join in if they wish etc. That might be slightly utopian but if they've got their heads screwed on that's where they should aim. Keep people together on one game.

I would be really surprised if we see it anytime during 2017. I am happy to be proved wrong but I was always looking at Q1 2018 for it's release. The problem they have is that GTR3 is due for release next year also and they will be desperate to get pCars 2 out ahead of that which could lead to them rushing it out which just leads to problems. pCars 1 was delayed several times but still had a hat full of bugs on releases so I hope this time is different but time will tell the story.

I'm hoping the caution among consumers also spreads to caution among developers after the last release

I am getting more and more stoked for this release, if they get anywhere near to what they are saying then it's is going to be something special.
It is a shame though that the 'Official Indycar' game does not incorporate the full season of races and particularly the ovals. They have all the cars and drivers but only a selection of the tracks and a handful of ovals. I love Indycar and that series should be fully represented and not just in part. It amazes me that there has not been a dedicated game out there for it for almost 20 years, you would think a US based developer would have jumped on it by now with it's increasing popularity over the past few years.
The claim re ovals is that they are going to wait and see if the interest is there and yet there was a massive thread on ovals in the pCars 1 forums so the interest has already been proven.
