Project CARS Developer Won’t Hold Back on Scorpio Enhancements Because of PS4

4.4
From the jump, Microsoft has been raising up its next piece of console hardware — codenamed the Scorpio — as the most powerful console ever, thus more powerful than the recently released PS4 Pro, a healthy but not overly dramatic upgrade of the base PS4.

That being said, one should expect that the Scorpio could and may run certain games better than the PS4 Pro. While this remains to be seen, Project CARS developer Slightly Mad Studios has confirmed it will hold nothing back when developing for the Scorpio, even if that means making a superior version of the game compared to the Pro.

When speaking to Gaming Bolt, Andy Tudor, creative director at Slightly Mad Studios was clear that Scorpio enhancements will not be held back at all. The creative director specifically says:

“We may go higher resolution on Scorpio compared to Pro, or we may keep lower res but increase detail. Again, too early to say, and if we can do something extra on Scorpio easily we will do, we won’t hold it back due to Pro.”


It’s important to note that Tudor doesn’t confirm the Scorpio version of the game will be superior in any regard to the PS4 Pro, just that if it can be (and I guess if it wants to) it won’t hold back the Scorpio in the face of the PS4 Pro. And if Phil Spencer and co. are any indication to go off about the Scorpio’s power, it sounds like it very well could push performance beyond what the PS4 Pro can. Now, whether that performance is realized, well we will just have to wait and see.

As you may know, Project CARS (and this applies to the upcoming Project CARS 2) is one of the best games early in this generation in regards to graphical fidelity and performance, so I’m personally excited to see what the developer does with both the PS4 Pro and Scorpio.

Scorpio is still without an official name, price-point, and release date, but much of that should change come E3. Meanwhile, Project CARS 2 is set to release sometime later this year on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

Mr_Robot The ps4 pro is plenty of power for current games and ones of the near future. I doubt the difference will be noticeable until atleast a couple years


Actually it's not "LOL" obviously been reading wrong specs... The PS4 Pro will only be able to run Destiny 2 at 30fps... Scorpio is capable of running 4K at 60fps theirs a huge difference...

Also Near future games are unpredictable because they are limited by the specs of a console not the developer... PS4 Pro should not of been announced due to being no huge spec difference between the Non Pro Version... I was hugely disappointed with Pro that i sold it and kept my money for the Scorpio.

Rui This is something that all developers should do, even though they may have contract's with "Sony" buy that shouldn't stop them doing increased performance and Details.

Bungie, should take this as advice i would assume by doing so it would pull people away from Playstation .


i Agree.. it would be a waste of power if they didn't max them out to there full potential.


My point exactly, it's stupid and unnecessary.
