Project CARS 2 dev on Forza & GT: "they're playing catch up"

Slightly Mad Studios are releasing Project CARS 2 on PC, PS4 and Xbox One on September 22, around the same time as another racing heavyweight, Forza Motorsport 7, hits the market. During our E3 interview we asked whether the studio felt the pressure of prominent rivals like GT Sport and Forza, but creative director Andy Tudor was confident in his reply.

"No, not really. Which sounds kind of bold and a bit arrogant, but no, because finally [...] we've been making racing games for a very long time, and we've always been nipping at the heels of like the big brands that are out there. But this time around it's a bit of a different situation, they're actually playing catch up with us in many respects.

Tudor continued: "You might have seen another racing game out there [Forza 7] has just announced dynamic weather, well, if you remember back Project Cars 1 had that back in 2015. The ability to now play in 4K, well again, if you remember back and rewind to previous interviews with me, you could play Project Cars 1 in 12K. And it's the same thing here. Please go and play [...] our CXC motion rig in VR, come back and tell me that we're not the most technically advanced racing game."

That's fighting talk indeed. We'll find out whether his words ring true when Project CARS 2 lands on September 22.
