Already available on Xbox One and coming soon to PC, Project CARS update 10.0 is now live on PlayStation 4, making some changes to vehicles and controllers.
Here’s the full list of patch notes for today’s update on PS4:
Vehicles
- Aston Martin – DBR1-2, Vantage GTE, Vantage GT12: Tweaked cockpit exposure to better balance the world brightness when driving in cockpit view.
- Ford Falcon FG – Made the in-cockpit steering wheel static when disabled so that the digital display is still visible.
- Ford Fusion Stockcar – Fixed a damage issue, tweaks to setups so car is less likely to go on two wheels.
- Dallara DW12 Indycar – Tweaks to setups so car is less likely to go on two wheels.
Controllers
- Controllers – Updated the Fanatec support code to ensure the Fanatec handbrake peripheral works correctly when either connected via the USB adapter or the pedals to the wheel.
Pitstops
- Fixed an issue where, if the player pits on the final lap and only closes the pit board after crossing the place in the pitlane where the finish line is (but before the post-race screen comes up), the race would fail to end.
Additionally, you’ll find that there are some changes to the way disconnection error messages are displayed:
From now on, there are specific error messages for several potential causes of this issue. Therefore, if you get disconnected over the Easter weekend, please share with us the exact text of the error message that you see, or even post a screenshot of it in this thread. This will help our team to understand exactly how much of the problem is being caused by PSN, compared to the game itself.
On the Sony side of things, they’ve identified a possible PlayStation Network issue causing disconnections in Project CARS and other PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 games. As of right now, they’re working on a fix.
If you missed the news earlier this month, a Project CARS Game of the Year Edition is coming to PS4, Xbox One, and PC later this spring.

Now Loading...What We Think of That Allegedly Leaked Nintendo NX Controller

I really don't like hating on Nintendo but sometimes they just make it so damn easy. This looks like the Vita had a tiny illegitimate baby and threw it away.

With the sleek and sexy feel of the DualShock 4 having been in our hands for a couple of years, this looks like a significant step backwards in controller ergonomics. A touch screen may work for a phone or handheld that you consistently look at, but for a controller that you hold while looking at a screen, there is something to be said for having actual tactile buttons so that you don't need to look down at your hands.
While it looks pretty sleek and futuristic, form doesn't always meet function, and that honestly just looks uncomfortable to hold and not ideal for console gaming sessions. I'm worried about Nintendo and their desire to be so different that they end up making bad products just for the sake of standing out from the competition.

So Nintendo is trying to make a less practical PlayStation Vita? Genius.

Kudos to Nintendo for trying something completely different (again), but I feel we're in for more of the same as what we saw on the Wii U. If this is real, you'll see some ingenious uses of this odd-shaped thing from Nintendo, but little else from third parties. How would Super Smash Bros. work with this contraption, for instance?! We'll likely see another round of accessory controllers to reproduce traditional gaming control schemes for games that just can't make this no/limited-button setup work. -

While nothing's been confirmed yet, I wouldn't be shocked if this were true. Nintendo has a reputation for trying out crazy stuff when it comes to video game interfaces and whatnot. Remember the Nintendo 64 controller? How about the GameCube one? And yeah, the Wii as well.
Having said that, I have no clue how traditional games will work with this thing. I mean, there are technically no buttons, right? And it looks like something that will get dirty a lot just by people's hands grasping it.
I'll reserve judgement until I get to actually use one, but color me intrigued! Who knows? This might pave the way to how real-time strategy games, MOBAs and other PC-centric titles will finally be playable with a controller without compromising anything.

Yeah, I'm hoping this is completely false, as I have no clue how that kind of control pad/console would work.
It looks hella uncomfortable to hold, and I'm really not a fan.
I'm going to "Nope." right out of that one, if the leak is legit.
