Project CARS “extremely promising” on Wii U
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 26 Comments
Speaking with Nintendo Enthusiast, creative director Andy Tudor commented that the Wii U version of Project CARS “is extremely promising.” The console is also capable of running one of CARS’ tracks in the rain “pretty damn well”, he said.
Tutor’s comments in full regarding the visuals of Project CARS on Wii U:
I literally just had a blast racing around one of our tracks in the rain (the most graphically-intensive weather setting) and it held up pretty damn well. Of course there are optimisations still to be done but side-by-side, the Wii U version we have running in the studio is extremely promising.
When asked why Slightly Mad has decided to bring the game to Wii U whereas other third-party developers have lessened their support, Tutor replied:
