Project Cars 4 is in the making and will be a sim racer; Slightly Mad Studios CEO says in a series of tweets. Those messages have since been deleted. Project Cars 3 came out this year and has been criticized for being more of an arcade game than previous installments.
In his series of posts, Slightly Mad Studios CEO Ian Bell suggests that the new game will be made with a 2.0 version of its proprietary Madness engine and that realism will be boosted significantly due to player feedback. “We know what you want and we are doing our best to make your dreams come true in every area you can imagine,” said one of the tweets.
Bell also talks about Live Track 4, which should be the successor to the current Live Track 3 technique used to track all changes on a track during a race. In his tweets he showed two screenshots and spoke about trees that cast shadows on the surroundings with individual leaves. “Project Cars 4 will be the most realistic simulation ever created, in every area, in every way,” claims the CEO.
The tweets appeared on the CEO’s Twitter account last week, but have since been removed. Users of the Project Cars forum have the content of the messages archived. Slightly Mad Studios has not officially announced anything about Project Cars 4. Development of the game has not been announced yet.
Although the statements about Project Cars 4 come from the CEO of developer Slightly Mad Studios, there is a lot to be done. Bell has made striking statements before, he told the studio started making their own console, but nothing more has been heard of it.
Plus, Codemasters, the parent company of the studio behind Project Cars, is on the cusp of to be acquired by EA. Both parties have agreed to this. Slightly Mad Studios became itself in late 2019 taken over by Codemasters.
Project Cars 3 came out in August this year and plunged the series into an identity crisis, according to the review by Tweakers. The game is much more of an arcade racer than the two previous parts, which leaned more towards the sim racing genre.
