Project CARS 3
Project CARS 3 est un jeu vidéo de course développé par Slightly Mad Studios et édité par Bandai Namco Entertainment, sorti le 28 août 2020 sur Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 et Xbox One. Troisième volet de la franchise, il propose un nouveau mode carrière où le joueur passe du statut de amateur du week-end à celui de légende de la course, ainsi qu'un système de crédits et d'XP permettant d'acheter et de personnaliser plus de deux cents voitures et de pilotes à travers plus de cent vingt circuits mondiaux, avec des conditions météo et saisonnières dynamiques. Le titre utilise le moteur Madness Engine et fonctionne avec la gestion des droits numériques Steam. Selon les données agrégées, le jeu obtient un score Metacritic de 68, un score OpenCritic de 70 et une note moyenne de 69,47. La presse a salué la profondeur de la personnalisation et de la conduite, Cheat Code Central évoquant une expérience riche pour les amateurs de courses et TheGamer qualifiant le jeu de véritable plaisir accessible aux nouveaux venus comme aux vétérans, tandis que certains joueurs regrettent la suppression de contenus des opus précédents au profit d'un public plus occasionnel ou signalent des dysfonctionnements liés aux améliorations de véhicules, d'autres formulant simplement un avis positif le décrivant comme parfait comme jeu. Les ventes numériques du produit prendront fin le 25 août 2025 et les modes en ligne resteront actifs jusqu'au 24 février 2026.

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« For a car or racing enthusiast, Project Cars 3 has a lot to offer. The depth of customizing, upgrading, and tuning up cars is impressive. The track-time experience is a lot of fun and generally feels realistic. When you pause it to enter “Photo Mode,” there’s also a variety of customization options to capture the drama of a race. The only question I have is how/if they will reoptimize for the next gen consoles. If you’re big on racing games, while it doesn’t really offer much that’s new to the equation, Project Cars 3 is a buy. See you on the track. »
« No doubt about it: Project Cars 3 is an absolute treat. In-depth and expansive enough for veteran racing genre fans, yet accessible and inviting enough for more casual players, Project Cars 3 is a title that other racing games should aspire to be - from its selection of vehicles to its contact-packed Career mode to the online features and events that are sure to foster a fun and competitive community. While (for me) many racing titles grow stale fairly quickly, Project Cars 3 is one game that I’ll be playing for a very, very long time. »
« Project CARS 3 is not a standard sequel. It takes a lot of content from the two previous games (including the realistic handling of the cars), but it adds some arcade ideas that work and make it look more like GRID. »
« Slightly Mad Studios returns to the fray with its simulator par excellence, Project CARS 3 arrives loaded with news, becoming a title adapted for all audiences under a gameplay mixed between simulation and arcade that may not satisfy the most purists. The title is entertaining in general lines and we are facing a good continuation of the saga although somewhat decaffeinated in the most purist simulation. »
« Forget simulation, Project CARS 3 goes in a different direction and provides a more arcadelike experience. While this will definitely be a letdown to longtime fans of the franchise, in and of itself the game nevertheless manages to be great at what it tries to do. »
« Project Cars 3 is bustling with things to do. It’s as accessible as the series has ever been, and while marred by some inconsistencies in its presentation, is for the most part a joy to play. »
« While some might balk at the fact that Project Cars 3 is designed to be accessible, under the hood is the same bone-grindingly difficult racing sim that the series has always been. There’s just more variety of modes and an easier on ramp for people to get into them. This newest title is a welcome mat for the new fans and the die hards alike. There’s always another fresh race to enjoy and a new challenge to overcome. While it isn’t perfect, Project Cars 3 is a solid entry to the series and the racing genre as a whole. »
« A solidly made and entertaining racing game with loads to unlock, whose minor graphical shortcomings and sim-lite handling do nothing to interfere with long term appeal. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« I tried this game for an hour and a half and I found a glitch. You improve the car and then you have to pay to remove them because if don't you can't do anything. Also, there are not many races to choose to earn money to remove the upgrades. About gameplay it's just average. Don't expect much. »
« This game is ok .i like the tracks and the car selection is good but a lot of content from the previous game was removed to be accessible to a casual audience. Wait for a sale. »
« I'd give this game actually an 8 but people are ridiculous so I want to help the games rating. I'm going to be very succinct. Pros: physics, car and track selection, good for those who love driving but don't tend to want to get into more serious racing aspects like more in depth tuning, tire wear, etc., customizable steering, cockpit view, diverse racing goals (it's not just about winning). Plenty of content. Cons: Frame rate issues at times, graphics are so so. Under appreciated. »
« downgrade, like mobile game................................................ »
« Rename this game like: Project Cars Horizon NFS Plastic Grind The lack of support just RlPED this game full of flaws from day 1, no realism, no people playing online anymore, there is no money or credits + you buy cars with XP and it´s a total boring grind just for this, cars feel mediocre for a arcade game, same physics from Dirt Rally games but everything it´s poorly done, just make your wallet stay away from this... »
« Basically I like this newest title of this series, because I‘m a fan of arcade racing action. But unfortunately this game technically falls largely behind other competitors in this genre like Codemasters remaster of Grid, OnRush as well as the oldest of them Gran Turismo Sport on which they is a whole generation between them. There is one positive thing of Project Cars 3 which pops out and that’s the 60 fps (PS4 Pro tested). But that just shows us nothing more than Bandai Namco is not as bad as EA. The visual presentation isn’t polished enough, no HDR, the tracks aren’t well designed, different daylight isn’t well implemented as well as boring weather effects. For a racing game in 2021 it is simply not enough. »
« Strange cartoonish regression from the potential shown in PC2. Complete departure for the franchise that is difficult to understand beyond aspirations for making a quick buck. »
« This game is similar to DriveClub. I'm looking forward to Project Cars 4. Awesome game »
