Project CARS

Slightly Mad Studios has finally responded directly as to why the Wii U version of Project CARS was delayed.

In an interview with Eurogamer, creative director Andy Tudor explained that the team simply requires “a little more time” in order to ensure that “it’s of the same standard of all the other games.” Slightly Mad also wants to meet the high expectations of fans.

As far as the actual game is concerned, Project CARS is said to look “phenomenal” on Wii U. Tudor also praised Nintendo’s console, stating that it’s “quite good.”

Head past the break for all of Tudor’s comments.

Bandai Namco and Slightly Mad Studios have announced the Project CARS Limited Edition. It’s presented in a special steel case featuring an exclusive visual, along with a behind-the-scenes book entitled “Project CARS: By Racers 4 Racers”.

The limited edition also includes the following cars:

– Ford GT40 Mk IV: winner of 1967 Le Mans 24H
– BMW M1 Pro Car: driven by legendary pilots such as Niki Lauda and Nelson Piquet
– McLaren F1: the legendary supercar from the historic manufacturer
– Sauber C9: the late 80s dominant prototype
– Mercedes-Benz AMG C-Coupe DTM: one of the most competitive DTM cars today

Note: the limited edition has been confirmed for Wii U, but we’ve only received confirmation about this package for Europe. We’ll update our post if we hear the same news for North America.

Bandai Namco, the distributor of Project CARS, has already weighed in on the racer’s Wii U delay. Now we have a few words from the game’s developer as well.

On Facebook, Slightly Mad Studios explained that Nintendo’s platform “uses a substantially different architecture to other consoles and the PC”, which means more time is needed “to code to the same quality of the other releases.” Ultimately the team needs a bit more time to adapt Project CARS for Wii U.
