Slightly Mad Studios have announced a major new partnership for Project CARS as the WMD-powered simulation has been chosen as??an Oculus Rift launch title.
Offering VR-specific improvements to make sure owners of the Rift headset can make most of their virtual driving experience, the Oculus Store??version will also include all On-Demand DLC content that has been released so far.
Furthermore, all buyers of the Oculus Store version will also receive the content from the upcoming Project CARS Game of the Year Edition once being launched.
???Ever since the announcement of the Oculus Rift and the team getting their hands on one of the early devkits we immediately knew the racing genre was going to be a perfect fit for virtual reality. With players already having an understanding of what it feels like to sit in the driving seat of a car, wheel peripherals already existing that provide a natural driving input, and the nature of racing being one of (hopefully!) forward motion, the ability to now wear a virtual helmet and experience the action through the driver???s eyes is the final piece of the puzzle allowing you to get as close as possible to the real thing,”??
Game Director??Stephen Viljoen commented.
???Project CARS has always been regarded as one of the most beautiful racing games out there already but we???re always looking for new gameplay experiences too. Once you???ve peered closer at the fine detail we put into the cockpit of a supercar like the Pagani Huayra BC, hastily glanced left at a IndyCar trying to overtake, looked towards the apex whilst trying to nail a perfect lap, or even looked out of the back window whilst trying to reverse you???ll never be able to go back. Without a shadow of a doubt, virtual reality makes you a better racer and we fully expect many of our fans and Esports pros that already own sim racing setups will eagerly be adopting the Rift as the way to take their game to the next level,” Creative Director Andy Tudor added.
Project CARS will be available in the Oculus Store starting March 28th.
