Project CARS 3 Devs Break Down What To Expect At Launch And Beyond

Set for release on August 28 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One, Project CARS 3 is shaping up to be the most robust entry in the series to date. While it stays true to the series’ sim-racing foundations, the third entry in the franchise shakes things up to offer something more approachable for the general racing fan base.

During GameSpot’s Play For All event, we had the chance to interview esports Manager Joe Barron and production director Pete Moorish about the third game’s revised approach to sim-racing. In addition to fleshing out the game’s customization, the career mode will also highlight more of the experience being an up-and-coming driver who’s a part of a global racing league. Along with this, rival drivers will have more advanced AI and attributes, aiming to make for more engaging races.

Before the release of Project CARS 3, we had another remote correspondence with Barron about what’s to come with PC3 and how it will evolve following its launch.

But feels like kind of the most groundbreaking storytelling. Storytelling that’s completely in a whole different realm than anything we’ve seen before, I don’t think it’s going to necessarily be the feature film form.”

Gordon-Levitt didn’t have anything more to share on the subject, and even this response was broken up by the actor trembling due to the heat of the hot wings he was eating.

Parks and Recreation is one of NBC’s most successful and memorable TV shows, and it’s still bringing in money through syndication and streaming deals, but it appears the cast are not always benefitting from those profits at a level they would have wanted.

Actors Rob Lowe and Nick Offerman, who played Chris Traeger and Ron Swanson on the show, recently spoke about this on the newest episode of Lowe’s podcast.

Offerman said the union representing the Parks and Rec cast was not able to get them a lucrative deal at the beginning of the show. Offerman also suggested that the union “bargained away” the cast’s residual payments as part of the negotiations.
