Slightly Mad Studios en Bandai Namco onthullen zes live-action video’s die doorheen de lente en deze zomer worden vrijgegeven. De video’s zullen de kijker meenemen achter de schermen en een beter inzicht verlenen hoe de voertuigen uit Project CARS 2 zijn ontwikkeld.
De eerste video, genaamd ‘Project CARS 2: BUILT BY DRIVERS – “As Close As It Gets” Featuring Chris Goodwin’— belicht de ontwikkeling van de nieuwe McLaren 720S. De video werd gefilmd in Londen en op McLaren’s Technology Centre door Outrun Films, specialisten in het vak en tevens makers van de “McLaren 720S Reveal” video en het brutale “Nürburgring & Bentley Racing”.
“Scanning cars down to the last bolt, and inserting their unique builds into our state-of-the-art physics model is just phase one in making our racing games,” aldus Stephen Viljoen, Game Director Project CARS. “In the end, we can get the ‘numbers’ right, but the feel and balance of a car—that intangible thing that brings a car to life—can only be measured by drivers; drivers who have spent their careers around those very cars, pushing them to their limits. Our relationship with drivers isn’t about ‘brand ambassadors’: it’s about how we engineer cars to feel right. ‘Built by drivers’ is how we go about ensuring authenticity.”
Project CARS 2 verschijnt eind 2017 op PlayStation 4, Xbox One en pc.
