Project CARS Trailer – The World Is Yours

With the release date of Project CARS closing in, the marketing engine of Slightly Mad Studios and its publisher Bandai Namco are steaming full ahead.

Together with the latest Project CARS trailer, Slightly Mad Studios also revealed some more details regarding the game’s multiplayer functionality. On the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and 32-bit PC’s online lobbies of up to 16 players will be available. on PC systems Project CARS will support up to 32-player lobbies when running the game in 64bit mode.

SMS came up with a system that tailors itself to your online multiplayer needs. When you are initiating an online session you will have the choice out of 3 lobbies. this will create the possibility to race online in a public, friends or private environment.

PUBLIC LOBBIES

Public Lobbies are designed for quick or ad-hoc games with strangers. A lobby countdown timer dictates when the event begins and players can give a thumbs up to say they’re ready to go which speeds it up and gets everyone into the game faster. So if you’re playing multiple online games in a row with the same people, you’re sure to be able to jump into each with as little fuss as possible. Public Lobbies appear in a global browsable Current Public Games list that any player can join in and invite their friends to

FRIEND LOBBIES

Friend Lobbies are designed for you and your friends to play in a more trustworthy environment with a host determining when the game starts based on communication amongst your friends either by text (PC) or voice chat (PS4, Xbox One).
Players can join Friend Lobbies either by choosing ‘Join Game’ from their Friend List or from being invited in by someone already in the lobby.

PRIVATE LOBBIES

Private Lobbies are designed for players and companies out there that wish to only allow players that meet certain criteria entry. Eg.. you may be the curator of a sim racing league or large brand that wishes to only allow competition winners or league members access to a lobby.
With a Private Lobby you can thereby create bespoke lobbies of specific people that are only allowed to play

HOSTING A RACE

As a host of an online race you will be presented with a wealth of options to tailor and organise your online session to a specific need.

• Host Migration – if the host leaves, someone else automatically takes over that role
• Vote for Track Change – If you don’t like the current track choice, you can vote your dissatisfaction and prompt for a change
• Full Customisation – Hosts can decide a full list of restrictions and rules they prefer (interior cams only, rolling starts, damage off, regulation severity, allowed driving aids etc..)
• Fill With AI – Hosts can elect to fill the grid with AI opponents if the lobby isn’t filled with humans
• Security – Hosts can name their lobbies and password-protect them (PC only)

COMMUNICATION

On the consoles, Project CARS features a voice chat function while on the PC platform you will also have the ability to use an in-game text chat.
