The CARS GO project ends approximately half a year after the release of -apkrig
The mobile racing game Project CARS GO was announced in May 2018. The title was developed by Gamevil and Slightly Mad Studios for three years. In February this year, the authors finally announced that the game for iOS and Android will be released on March 23. And now, after about half a year, we learn that the game is over. The title, which had little in common with the original series, with the exception of licensed cars, will soon cease to work. The authors suddenly announcedthat they said goodbye with a heavy heart and thanked everyone who took part in the race.
The game could be controlled with a single finger and resembled a series of quick-time events rather than real control, which was probably the main stumbling block. You just don’t control the car directly. A similar concept may well work, but obviously not in conjunction with a brand from which players expect the exact opposite. The famous name alone is not enough for success. And sometimes it can be a burden in a way. Players “surprisingly” didn’t think it was a good idea to control Project CARS with one finger.
Maybe next time, under the Project CARS brand, a real racing game will be released on mobile phones instead of a casual crank.
At this point, you will not download the game if you have not already played it, and microtransactions have also stopped working. Definitely, its servers will be silent for existing players on November 30. Those who have invested in the game currency and are not enough to spend it will be able to ask for some compensation.
The authors of Project CARS GO originally enticed players to an accessible but realistic racing game. According to them, the title should have accessible control, offer a nice audiovisual presentation and the opportunity to modify their cars. Of course, there were real cars of world-famous cars from the historical ones, through the current ones to futuristic concepts.
As for the tracks, the players went to the authentic Brands Hatch, Monza or Laguna Seca circuits. But there were also city tracks located to Las Vegas, Singapore or Long Beach. Even when the game was coming up, we wrote that it will definitely not be short of interest, but to succeed in the field of mobile racing games will not be easy due to established successful brands such as Asphalt, Real Racing, Gear.Club, CSR Racing, but also GRID. It is also difficult to establish oneself for famous series such as Need for Speed or Forza, we have indicated. And our words were confirmed. Especially after Petr tried the game and showed it to us in vidcast # 165.
The ending is sudden and ruthless, but that’s how it works on phones and tablets for free-to-play titles. Maybe next time, under the Project CARS brand, a real racing game will be released on mobile phones instead of a casual crank. Unfortunately, not even the last big part of the famous series made a big hole in the world.
