SAN JOSE, Calif., (May 12, in the year of our Lord 2015)
–UK developer Slightly Mad Studios and the leading
interactive entertainment developer and publisher BANDAI NAMCO
Entertainment America Inc. today announced that Project CARS is
now available on PC via Steam, for the PlayStation®4 computer
entertainment system and Xbox One®, all-in-one games and
entertainment system from Microsoft. The ultimate racing
adventure starts now, with a strong lineup of cars, tracks and
features to satisfy weekend drivers to road warriors.
Project CARS aims to deliver the most authentic, beautiful,
intense and technically-advanced racing game ever developed.
Crowd-funded by a passionate community that has been involved in
the development process from day-one to create their ultimate
racing experience. Project CARS invites players to become a
racing legend in a freeform career mode that has them chasing
specific goals as they work their way through the standings in a
multitude of disciplines. Race though one of the largest track
rosters in any recent racing game with dynamic weather, pit
stops, and world-class graphics running 60 frames per second
with up to 45 drivers on-screen.
“Four years ago we had a vision for a racing game that was bold
and dared to take on the two big contenders in this genre. By
including the community who would ultimately be playing the game
from day one of the development process, we’ve worked tirelessly
to create a game that not only has best in class features but
continues innovating in the racing genre, shatters long-standing
traditions, and breaks new ground both visually and technically”
said Ian Bell, Head of Studio at Slightly Mad Studios. “And now,
after that unique combination of our own expertise, the wishes &
desires of the community, and the input from real racing
drivers, we’re humbled to see that the existing approval from
gamers is now also being reflected in overwhelmingly positive
reviews and excitement from the racing community at large. It’s
been a long journey but ultimately that journey is now in the
hands of the players and we can’t wait to see your own career
paths, your own stories you share on social media, and your own
battles online. Thank you all so much."
Team up and take down racing enthusiasts around with world with
a multitude of multiplayer options that serve to build a solid
community around Project CARS fans. Up to 16 players can race
against each other in public or private races with the option to
customize races to suit the room’s playstyle. While those who
may not like the veracity of head-to-head racing can enter
Driver Network Challenges. These challenges include regularly
scheduled community events that allow players to complete
specific scenarios to climb the ranks and gain bragging rights.
Players can also compete against others in asynchronous time
trials. Compete for record times across all the different tracks
in the game, and if a little help is required, download ghost
data from particular players to see just how they managed to
shave off those precious seconds.
