Posted September 29, 2014 It's going to be a tough sell to ask people to wait God knows how many extra months yet to get the inferior version. It's grand I guess if you're a Wii U only owmer. For just wii u owners it should do ok shouldn't it? Not like there are a bunch of alternatives out their. It's real shame it's not being released at the same time as I think this could be a title that does pretty well on wii u. Getting a racing game like this on a Nintendo platform is what people have asked for years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 17, 2014 Confirmed: Project CARS delayed to March 20th 2015 Slightly Mad Studios and BANDAI NAMCO Games Europe S.A.S today announced they will be moving the release of Project CARS for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC to March 20th 2015 in Europe and Australasia. The move positions the title away from the competitive holiday scene dominated by household names while affording the team at Slightly Mad Studios additional time to extend and polish their ground-breaking and accomplished next-gen racing experience that’s been created alongside a community of over 85,000 racing fans and real-life professional drivers. “Our goal has always been to deliver a landmark title that encompasses the wishes and desires of racing fans from all around the world; something with features and content powered by the community that provide a truly unforgettable and pioneering experience” said Ian Bell, Head of Studio at Slightly Mad Studios. “Whilst a tough decision to make, the change in release date allows the game the greatest chance of success and visibility, and the opportunity to polish the game even further to the high standards that both ourselves and our community demand and expect. We’re eager for you all to see what we’ve been working on in just a few months.” http://m.neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=913966 This could be a blessing in disguise for Wii U. It might now launch at the same time as the other formats or it could mean the Wii U version will be further delayed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now I just hope that Nintendo fans vote with their wallet, so the Wii U gets future releases from this developer as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 17, 2014 Oh goodie.Now I just hope that Nintendo fans vote with their wallet, so the Wii U gets future releases from this developer as well. I think I mentioned it before - isn't devlopment/funding behind this game a little different to your usual? It was crowdsourced with content packs where users could create/add content and even have a stake in the game's profits too - if I'm not wrong then I don't think it's fair comparing this to any sort of traditional game development/publish/release process.

Posted October 17, 2014 I thought so too but then Bandai Namco are involved. They may just be publishing it physically. I don't know either what the deal is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

According to wikipedia they're doing 'distribution' whereas SMS are doing dev/publishing - maybe it's just the case they don't have the infrastructure to get it out there but enough in place to essentially get it made/printed/maybe DD hosted. Even so, I'd still say it's unorthodox enough, applying usual rules of play here might not have much merit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Regardless of which, it would send a message to other third parties that the Wii U is in fact viable if you handle your releases properly. Secondly, I don't think that devs will want to port the game to a format where noone will buy it. Even if they are doing it for free. Thirdly, I think that there will be some sort of scheme where as much of the crew will be able to live off making games. Whether this will happen via a post-release kickback (which is what they used in The Stanley Parable) or formal employment remains to be seen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure it could be called a 'port' however - it's my understanding it's been being dev'd for all the systems together since the start. What was the situation with The Stanley Parable and making monies? As I understand this, regular folks could purchase 'content packs' that'd let them create for the game, and certain packs would allow a certain take of profits depending on content, or something? I remember coming across the project many years back and thinking it sounded interesting at the time - didn't expect it to go beyond a PC only level though.

Posted January 19, 2015 Ok that's possibly the most realistic looking game ever. I presume that's PC footage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 20, 2015 To be honest I'm slightly baffled there's a version of this coming for WiiU. Who's going to buy it on that system? I love my WiiU to death but most of the racing I want to do on it involves turtle shells and (hopefully, one day) zero-friction. If this is decent it'll be a must have for my 2nd console though.

Posted January 20, 2015 You can be sure of what version this isn't. To this day there hasn't been a single video or screenshot of the Wii U version. They probably don't want the Wii U version contradicting or detracting from their full vision. When it's releasesd on the other platforms then we'll see the Wii U version. I haven't seen a more visually impressive game but I am ignorant. It's true to life. I'm tired. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the game plays well, doesn't just look beautiful, then I will be getting this on my WiiU... I won't be paying a few games worth of money just to have this on another console. As I understand it this is a fairly realistic driving simulator, I believe the closest to that on the Wii U is Need for speed (to clarify I in no way consider NfS to be in the same category...). With that in mind, anyone who likes driving sims and owns a Wii U, but not another console, should buy this. Or maybe Nintendo gave the company a financial incentive to bring the game to Wii U as well... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love my WiiU to death but most of the racing I want to do on it involves turtle shells and (hopefully, one day) zero-friction. If this is decent it'll be a must have for my 2nd console though. Me for one, that is if it turns out half decent. Yes, we haven't seen any screen shots for the Wii U version yet, but the developer Slightly Mad Studios has been bigging up that it runs good, and has most of the effects up and running, so I wait in anticipation as there will most assuredly be nothing else like this on the Wii U, now or in the future, and I only own the one home console. I'm really really hoping for this to be good. Edited January 20, 2015 by londragon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wii U and Nintendo platforms needs games like Project Cars. When a platform's claim to racing titles is limited to Mario Kart then that platform has serious issues.

Posted January 20, 2015 Wii U and Nintendo platforms needs games like Project Cars. When a platform's claim to racing titles is limited to Mario Kart then that platform has serious issues. In fairness Wii U has Mario Kart 8 Need for Speed: Most Wanted U Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed TNT Racers: Nitro Machines Edition F1 Stars Powered Up Edition Super Toy Cars. Project Cars is definitely going to fill an empty space in that list though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 29, 2015 Here's What the Pros Think of Project Cars Project CARS Vs Real Life - Road America Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 18, 2015 Project CARS has been delayed again Racing sim suffers two-week delay. Project CARS has seen a further two week delay, Bandai Namco has confirmed, with the racing sim now due to release on PS4, Xbox One and PC on Thursday, April 2. The game had previously been due to release on March 20, having been delayed from its initial November 18 launch date. "Moving a release date was not an easy decision to make, as we know our fans are eager to get their hands-on on Project CARS," said Slightly Mad Studios Head Ian Bell. "But we know that these extra days will allow us to provide the best game experience that our fans deserve. We assure you the wait will be worth it when the game does arrive early April." A release date for the Wii U version has yet to be confirmed. http://www.videogamer.com/ps4/project_cars/news/project_cars_has_been_delayed_again_2.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 19, 2015 I'm surprised the Wii U version hasn't been cancelled yet. If released, this will go the same way as Watch_Dogs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
