Wii U Not Getting Shafted!



Project CARS is a cross-platform racer which is coming to many consoles, including the Wii U! Developer Slightly Mad Games has been speaking about the Nintendo edition of the game, and continues to say good things about the hardware.

Slightly Mad's Andy Tudor had this to say to RevoGamers:
RG: Regarding the Wii U version, how are you going to use the Gamepad? Will it have Off-TV? Will it use the gyro sensor? Will you be able to use the touch screen to change the camera angles?
AT: As soon as the Wii U was announced we were like `Oh my god, this looks amazing! We need to work on this´.

There are loads of ways to use the Gamepad: As the rear-view mirror, or the parameters screen or for storing all HUD elements, or using the gyro to control the car...
There are lots of opportunities with the Wii U Gamepad, and we want to use it as much as we can because it´s so cool! There´s also Miiverse, which lets people post screen and post their thoughts on a game... The Wii U is full of opportunities.

With the PC version being considered the "main" platform, you have to be nervous about how the Wii U version will turn out. Thankfully, RevoGamers asked the question so we don't have to worry about it any longer:

RG: What features of the MADNESS engine will be cut down for the Wii U version in comparison to the PC build?
AT: Well, you´ll need to talk to our code team about that (laughs). But I can tell you that we´re making all the versions at the same time, so it´s not like we´re making the PC version and then we port it to consoles afterwards.

But obviously, each console has its strengths and weaknesses, so the code team will have to make compromises and work out what suits each platform´s strengths better. The PC version, on the other hand, is going to be amazing! It will have the best resolution and the best graphics, obviously.

What we´re going to make sure is that the Wii U version is not the worst one, it won´t be a crappy version. We want people to get the game and say `Holy s***, that looks amazing!´

The only bad news we've learned is that the game has been delayed until Q2 2014.

Are you hyped about this news? Will you be getting Project CARS when it is released on the Wii U console?
