Project Cars developer Slightly Mad Studios is a big fan of the Wii U GamePad. The team believes that the new controller “just screams new innovations for gameplay”.
For Project Cars, Slightly Mad Studios intends to put the GamePad to good use, and it sounds like there could be plans in store for Miiverse as well.
Speaking with NowGamer, Slightly Mad Studios creative director Andy Tudor said:
“The gamepad just screams new innovations for gameplay and is a perfect match when thinking about using the gyroscope as a handheld wheel like in Mario Kart Wii and showing data on the screen such as a map, telemetry, speedo, or rear view mirror. When you couple that with Miiverse functionality and community it’s a no-brainer.”
When it comes to all four versions of Project Cars, Tudor feels that they’re all equal since each can bring something different to the experience:
“Honestly, each has their own advantages: the PC will always benefit from the most bleeding edge processors and graphics cards but the Wii U has brand-new ways of interacting via the Gamepad, and the PS3/Xbox 360 versions continue to push those machines to their very limits whilst hooking in to already-popular systems like PSN and Xbox Live. So no one single platform wins I’m afraid!”
