Slightly Mad Studios have kicked off the funding phase of the next title to be developed by their World of Mass Development portal: Project CARS 2!
Project CARS 2 will expand the global best-selling title with plenty of brand new features & content as the studio has outlined the following ideas for the new title:
- THE LARGEST TRACK ROSTER EVER – 50 unique locations and 200+ courses including ‘loose surface racing’ on dirt, gravel, mud, and snow. All will have dynamic time of day and weather allowing you to play anytime, anywhere
- THE WIDEST VARIETY OF MOTORSPORTS with 8 different disciplines now including Rallycross, Hillclimbs, and Touge. 200+ cars from over 40 different vehicle classes including never-before-seen Concepts and Banned Race Cars
- CO-OP CAREER – Play as the Teammate Driver, Spotter, Driver Swap, or Co-Pilot. More choices, more opportunities, more strategy, greater risks and greater rewards
- SEAMLESSLY CONNECTED – Socialize and compete via Online Track Days, have players from around the world take the place of AI-controlled drivers in your solo play, and get news updates on the Driver Network around you
- PRO ESPORTS RACING – Skill & Behavioural-based matchmaking, create your own Online Racing Leagues, and Live Broadcast and Spectator functionality
- YOUR HOME FOR RACING – Your own personal, customisable Test Track to tune and test your cars. Invite others to showcase your passion for racing and learn race craft and engineering with the Project CARS Academy
Keep in mind that the above just outlines the vision for the final title as members get to influence key game design decisions during the development process themselves.
This time around, members are invited to join the development process at an even earlier state as the first build of Project CARS comes only with one track and a three??cars, giving members the chance to join the process at the earliest-possible moment.
Members can choose from one of five??membership tiers, starting at 50 British pounds, each tier comes with a set of benefits, the highest tier even includes a Michelin star dinner with Ian Bell and some real-life driving fun in a Ferrari F458 Spider!
All tiers include access to regular development builds and the World of Mass Development forum as well as votes in polls that will decide key game design decisions on the new title.
A participation on the game’s returns is no longer included in the membership packages due to legal reasons.
As with funding for the first Project CARS title, packages are available on a first-come, first-serve basis, once the required funding has been acquired joining will no longer be possible.
Like Project CARS, Project CARS 2 will be developed with the PC as the lead platform for development and build testing, also being released for Sony’s Playstation 4, Microsoft’s Xbox One and SteamOS.
