Bandai Namco announced today that the company has reached a worldwide distribution agreement with Slightly Mad Studios on the release of Project CARS. The game will be available on Wii U, PS4, Xbox One, and PC in November.

Here’s an overview of the racer:

Project CARS is the most authentic, beautiful, intense, and technically-advanced racing game on the planet.

Crowd-funded by a passionate community that has been involved in the development process throughout to create their ultimate racing experience, Project CARS allows you to create a driver, pick from a huge variety of motorsports, and shift into high gear to chase a number of Historic Goals and ultimate recognition in the Hall Of Fame. Then test your skills online either in competitive fully-loaded race weekends, leaderboard-based time challenges, or continually-updated community events – sometimes for real-world prizes.

Featuring the largest track roster of any recent racing game with a ground-breaking dynamic time of day & weather system, world-class graphics and handling, deep tuning & pit stop functionality, and support for Oculus Rift and Project Morpheus, Project CARS leaves the competition behind in the dust.

A couple of Project CARS trailers can be found above.

Twitch

Twitch is something that could make its way to Sony and Nintendo’s portables in the future. “The company has recently moved into mobile and is looking at the Vita and 3DS as well,” GamesIndustry reports.

According to COO Kevin Lin, Twitch “definitely” wants to pursue handhelds. Viewing apps is one of the first things that will be explored.

“Handhelds. That’s something we’d love to do. On handhelds it’s more of a server/CPU concern, but we definitely want to do it. We want to build viewing apps, that’s much less CPU intensive than broadcasting.”

Guacamelee: Super Turbo Championship Edition is out today on the Wii U eShop. For a successful download, you’ll need to reserve 802MB of space. That’s far from the smaller eShop games, but it’s not too large either!
