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:

Revogamers recently chatted with Unepic creator Francisco Téllez de Meneses to learn more about the title’s development and gameplay. You can find a summary of what was shared below.

– First script for Unepic was different
– Plot was epic, obscure, with a chosen one with prophetic dreams
– But one of the friends of the developer, Franciso Téllez de Meneses, noticed the similarities with A Link to the Past
– His wife told him to change the story and include a time traveler, so that was genesis of the final game, a decision that let Franciso include all the cartoon, videogames and cinema references
– This also led to the game’s name, since it was an epic game but not anymore
– Francisco programmed, designed, wrote, draw and made part of the music of the game
– Francisco started to make it in his free time
– Illumination is one of the keys of the game
– Franciso wanted to make a game where the player has to light the places he went
– All illumination in the game is real time
– Light is a tool to know which rooms you’ve not fully explored
– If a torch is not lit, the map will show it to you
– Sidequests are optional and original; trying to be different than: kill 5 monsters and come back
– Secret achievements included
– Can play smartly, using the spells, the different weapons or the stealth, or like a barbarian, with an axe, an Armour and full Strength and Constitution upgrades
– A weapon crafting system was rejected; can only make potions in the game
– The game has reduced sexual references and bad language; was a personal decision and Nintendo wasn’t involved in it
– Wii U version includes voices in English and Spanish
– Unlikely that multiplayer options will be included in the Wii U version
– Francisco is working on another version of Unepic
– It’s a futuristic game with new enemies, different puzzles and more guns
– Won’t be Unepic 2; it’s a different game based on it
– Unepic has already earned 7 times the amount of money spent making it
– 1080p, 60 FPS
– GamePad has 32 shortcuts to objects, weapons and spells
– Game includes another difficulty level: Difficult +
– Will offer 20 hours of gameplay if not killed, probably 30 hours in first play through
