[pc2] Project CARS – Andy Tudor: The Community Assisted Sim

PROJECT C.A.R.S.
Project CARS as the name says, is a Community Assisted Racing Simulator being developed by Slightly Mad Studios the developers behind the Need for Speed: Shift and Shift 2 but without EA backing them up this time. The developers have a long history in the racing simulator world having worked on some of the most fabulous games of the past years, GTL, GTR, Need for Speed Shift Series, PGR and many more and decided that this was the time to make something that would be the game to beat in the next years in every way, visuals, gameplay and quality.

What does Community Assisted Racing Simulator means?
For a long time unfortunately we have been used to be in the dark when there’s a game in development, we can’t comment, give opinions or receive a feedback from the developers about our ideas and thoughts on the game until it’s too late and the game is out and then they will give no support because the publisher wants them to make another bad quality game quickly.

With Project CARS it is different. They want you to participate because you are essential to the game development. Your opinions they care about and your constructive ideas area welcomed.

Below is a very short video featuring Slightly Mad Studios’ Creative Director Andy Tudor where he talks about the importance of community-involvement for the studios’ upcoming Project CARS title.

A few more interviews are below, including a Playstation 4 test.

We are getting so close to its March release! Project CARS has been the first title not only to be funded by the community, but also the first title to directly involve the its member base into the entire development process thanks to the SMS World of Mass Development platform.
