Project Motor Racing

呃，抱歉我第一圈還沒跑完就解除安裝了..... = =

*** Update 07/08/26 *** They sorted the glitchy faux-pas pretty quickly btw in June/July (see below for the ffs review... lol) After latest update it is now a RECOMMEND and a Hell Yeah!!!! PMR is giving me the most fun atm. Smooth, feels good, on wheel and controller, AI is fun to race, looks good for me 4K Balanced FSR (got better), almost all settings max'd (pulled back to High on some for night/wet driving overheads). Online custom lobbies is really working for me, sometimes 20+ on the grid, quick to drop into P or Q, so much quicker on track than likes of LMU, and the other human beings don't seem to be so mad, dangerous and crappy, people are actually trying to race. Of course there is always one or 2, but nothing like the mayhem in ACC and LMU. PMR is going very good and tbh, this is where my hours are going atm for all the reasons above..... it's just FUN, less frustrations and an enjoyable experience now. Good work form the Devs going from Zero to Hero for me!! I would support them going forward, it would be a shame for PMR to not go on and trap some serious online bums on seats..... it is now WELL WORTHY!! *** Update 23/06/26 *** Changing to a thumbs down after this ridiculous update 2.0.0.6 which has broken graphics to the point of it being unplayable :-( *** Update 29/05/26 *** Excellent work by the Devs! The last 2 performance updates have FULLY fixed the AI CPU (2 less cores than the recommended in the store), but more than enough grunt available, so the optimisations were very recognisable for me......... much smoothness. *** Review Update 17/05/26 *** After a few hours with comparisons in mind between the main 3; PMR, EVO and LMU.... LMU fell off early due to the inferior graphics and niceys, but takes alot less to run, but als getting a car to rotate in fixed races and not getting into the irretrievable spin, kinda gets old when both EVO and PMR give a little more window to "catch a car", so testing went down to the 2. So the idea was to to compare Graphics, Controls, Single Player AI and Overall Driving feel/experience. 1) Graphics, it's neck and neck, Evo I had to fix GPU settings again after an 11 update, which was boring, kept locking things to 30fps.... got it back to 2K rendering with high settings and upscaling to 4k, so this is decent performance for a steady 60 all the way. PMR - Not quite so much hassle to get possibly even sexier settings up, again 2k, upscaling to 4K looking for that 60fps all the way. Tested in high X time accel during dry Day/Night cycles so as lighting/reflection effects can be tweaked to keep that 60fps,,,,,, And the Winner is......! PMR wins this by a nose as both look very nice and can keep race worthy FPS with nice things on..... but PMR's sun rises and sunsets....... take the win, clkouds can be a bit too fluffy.....lol *3D clouds Off), but the day night transitions are beautiful... also starry starry night....... yep PMR gets it for overall immersion 2) Controls, for Both Gamepad and Moza R5..... both titles do well here on controller, as they do on FFB, but again after doing all the Moza profiles for Wheel and dialling the best global consensuses for settings in game and pithouse, both feel great and once dialled in you start chasing those seconds as you can feel much more going once you settled in, they are BOTH good. Who's the winner?? PMR again!! By a nose, once dialled in and the Per Car Load and EQ settings gives it the win here, and arguably I can feel more about the car, therefore push more, therefore I am also faster in PMR with same car/track comparisons. 3) PMR AI - had to dial things down to 55-60 after a chat with AI and found that the Qualifying doesn;t seem to care about difficulty,you will still be 2-5 seconds off Alien AI but on 60 in the race you can easy start from back and win a short race...... diffculty settings are a bit wonky...... currently on 75 and can Q 3-5th and race pace isn't too slow. EVO, the 80-100 limited settings is okay and both AI's are prone to driving through you at times. 4) Overall Drving feel, immersion, race fun factor is what we are here for? Again the PMR team takes it by a hair, yes a hair. Both titles give you decent moments of all that is fun. There are factors that make PMR take the Sim lead atm...... FFB per car, nicer environment immersion, graphics don't break after O/S updates and a MAJOR for me for being faster we can tweak GEAR RATIOS in PMR which has given me much more urgent driving style and am faster. For O/Clockers btw, PMR game engine can take very aggressive O/Clock values on my Asrock Challenger 9060 XT 16GB GPU. EVO engine is alot more sensitive, lower O/Clock. In the comparison tests, I've had more fun and better experience in PMR..... So there it is folks... PMR going from Zero to Hero?? **** Previous Reviews Below **** hmmm I wonder if I can not choose a thumbs down or thunbs up, as atm it would be a thumbs down for the utter brass neck of shocking graphical optimisations (frustrating stutters), due to VERY poor CPU optimisations and needing 12 threads...... which btw the beancounters should have been made aware CUTS the possible market by ALOT, when other Sims can do more, with less, smoothly...... on early access, forgiveable, on full price. NOT. AI is the spoiler atm, trying to do career and get my pace up to be somewhere on the grid (only at 90 difficulty btw), and cars that are not that much quicker than you, seem to do that BS thing online drivers do, brake LATE AF and then get a ♥♥♥♥ exit..... oh and btw, if you haven't nailed a corner they will drive right through you if they are quicker like you weren't there, completely ruining your lap........... drivel!!!! NOT ACCEPTABLE behaviour for a full price release. Haven't checked the FFB yet, just dialled in a controller, and def setup of cars seems to make a difference when tweaking. It's not as bad as I first heard and it drive's fine, but the Devs NEED to sort AI and Optimisations before selling DLC's... get yerfkn priorities right lads...... the sim market is drenched atm, and the ones who get there priorities right will take the chequered flag...... atm PMR is sitting in the middle of a slowish pack and needs a pit stop to get some MAJORS prioritised. Yes another scathing report from the grumpy long time racer, but it gets a bit annoying when title seem to be asking us to pay to go BACKWARDS. Always support sim devs in the hope they will come good, bit like voting........... is there any point at this stage. So I have paid to give them the abuse they deserve :-D Lolol (Cont) The Other Side of Things ============================ I decided to grab it as the pedigree is there from Pcars1,2,3. I slapped on some old more arcade title, nfs etc etc, and PCars3 gave a solid race and the AI, don;t seem to be blind faaooknaakles, and tbh some pretty gooed racing against AI, never checked FFB, but controller was good. Therefore, pedigree it is. PMR has this and due to larger focus on car genre's things take longer, good signs of solid underneath on the sim engine, that the Mustang GT3 was a pretty rolly handful at Monza, which is always bad, and dialling in car setup tweaks really made a difference, rollbar, steering range, so that IS GOOD. Really felt the difference well with reasonable but not major tweaks.
