    A slight step back from Project Cars 2. Seems like old features and settings are missing. The disc install was 40 GB but the update (1.09) that my PS4 wants to download is 32 GB. So that'd be 72GB? and it is worse than the previous title.
    The game was obviously rushed and it seems highly doubtful I will consider playing this franchise in the future. Thankful it's a rental

    Basically I like this newest title of this series, because I‘m a fan of arcade racing action. But unfortunately this game technically falls largely behind other competitors in this genre like Codemasters remaster of Grid, OnRush as well as the oldest of them Gran Turismo Sport on which they is a whole generation between them.

But unfortunately this game technically falls largely behind other competitors in this genre like Codemasters remaster of Grid, OnRush as well as the oldest of them Gran Turismo Sport on which they is a whole generation between them. There is one positive thing of Project Cars 3 which pops out and that’s the 60 fps (PS4 Pro tested). But that just shows us nothing more than Bandai Namco is not as bad as EA. The visual presentation isn’t polished enough, no HDR, the tracks aren’t well designed, different daylight isn’t well implemented as well as boring weather effects. For a racing game in 2021 it is simply not enough.… Expand

    You would think that with the 35GB update, the game would now be equal to the excellent Project Cars 2. Sadly, it isn't. Not even close.
    PC3 lacks the in depth tuning of PC2. What's worse, it looks worse than PC2 on PS4Pro. Even when looks are prioritized, the game manages to look PS3 era! And to add insult to injury, the photo mode is worse too, not that there is anything worth taking    You would think that with the 35GB update, the game would now be equal to the excellent Project Cars 2.

    So, huge downgrade from PC2 and overall very mediocre game. I'm gonna stick with PC2.    … Expand

    Project CARS 3 is a serious departure from the franchise's roots. It takes a lot of risks, but those willing to make the jump will find a fun and rewarding racing experience.

    This is, in a strange way, a very brave game. It’s great - but it also targets a different audience than the previous titles in the series. It’s no longer trying to compete with Gran Turismo, Assetto Corsa and other serious sims, instead it rivals Forza Motorsport. But you can still feel its simulation roots.

    A patchy, unbalanced, and shallow racer with obvious technical issues on PS4. Chasing lap times is fun thanks to the superb pad control and track list, but everything else is disappointing. [Issue#180, p.78]
