Surprised they're sticking with Wii U.
They are aware that they will be the only sim available for Wii U. No competition, good chance of success.
Btw, head of SMS studio Ian Bell has confirmed in the public section of pCARS forums that he is insisting on 60fps on PS4/Xbone.
I would personally wait for a while before that is 100% confirmed, they have a lot of work to be done.megabytecr

Will get it for Wii U if it is good.
Ignore if posted before but I just tested the game after a few months without playing. My old SLI bits doesn't work anymore and surprisingly now DX11 works for me a lot better than before (I remember playing at DX9). Actual version works flawesly with a new SLI profile, DX11 sli bits = 0x080912F5.

Which was sort of my drive about questioning it's existence still. I find it hard to believe the target market owns a Wii U, less that the target market owns only a Wii U to access PCars.
Obviously their reasoning is stronger than mine, but given how close it is to the PS360 power wise it just seems odd to shake those two and not the Wii U as well. Be interesting to see sales figures, that's fore sure.
I'm not getting a PS4 or Xbone anytime soon. I'm rather tempted by a Steam Box, but I wait for configurations and prices to decide if I go for that or for PC.
Plus I love the off-tv and playing a sim racing on the toilet seems appropriate.
Yes, this too.

Off tv play. GamePad is essentially an f1 wheel. Supporting a solid 3rd party effort. Free online. GT7 will be on my PS4.
That's my reasons anyhow.
No, Q1 2014 was original plan. But with the additional time needed to get game engine running on next gen and than looking for a launch window, they picked Fall.
Actually ecstatic to see this on PS4/XB1. I was considering the Wii U version just for an ongoing game to play, but the digital triggers sort of soured me to that once I'd gotten some time with my tablet. I hope this holds up as well as it should after being optimized for each platform. More sims the better.
I'm guessing no news / they probably won't open up tool buy in again?
They will possibly open up crowdfunding again to gather a little money for nextgen games. I dont know the details.
OffTV play + I have a decently powerful PC.
Not getting either PS4 nor XB1.
Yes, this is the plan.
Ah, makes sense. Thanks.

To be perfectly honest fall 2013 was the earlier plan which was already a delayed original release date IIRC.
I was just going through the screenshot thread on the official forums, and I came across this, thought it might be worth a mention.
Looks like physics based smoke, maybe even rain is coming to Project CARS - likely using PhysX. For the YouTube videos posted click here and here.
I guess if you thought you had a rig that could run this game maxed out at 4K when it comes out, think again.

Have a look at the ART thread for that car, will take a while unless they import that 20 mil+ poly CAD model

He also has a fair share of the shell done it looks like. Lots of progress made in a short time, so I'd say its not too far off.
I see, thanks.
I hope it stays that colour (yes, I know it's like that to differentiate parts).Have a look at the ART thread for that car, will take a while unless they import that 20 mil+ poly CAD model
I probably won't have a PS4 then, and I think the game should look and run quite well on the game and with being able to use the Wiipad as a steering wheel, I think that would be pretty cool. Like Mario Kart for the Wii. Either way, it should be fun now matter what system you get it on.
I never mess with them, but I think there are a ton of car tuning setup options in CARS that affect the physics.
The very simplest examples are things like the fuel load, since you go faster with less fuel (but then you feel stupid when you run of gas 2 laps in, lol).
*edit* Here are some really quick screenshots that came up when I googled. They may be old though, and I can't really read the text. =P

So they never even started work on the 360/PS3 version then....no chance in hell this would have seen a 2014 release then.....and neither will the current gens, 2015 at the earliest !!!!
Actually they were working on the consoles build, they even released some screenshots. But the next gen consoles got announced and the community was given a choice to continue the last gen build or port it to the next gen instead.
Shouldn't be I feel. The Wii U is a more capable system then the PS3 and 360. It's not as powerful as the PS4/XB1 but it is more powerful then the other two. It's not a "current gen" system like them no matter how many people try to say otherwise.

Not actually that important
Uh-oh

What the...! You connected some crazy dots there, fella!
They added six months to bring it to the new platforms, and given themselves a bit more time to polish it all up in time for more advantageous release window. What's not to like?

Missed this, but wow, they've worked on those versions for quite some time and their engine already supported both platforms (I think we saw some debug shots, can't remember well right now) so yeah, they did work on them and they've already worked on all of the 3 next gen versions (Daily Code Changes have constantly additions regarding those platforms and they're registered developers).
can't wait for this to be implemented:
It looks like the car's running over potato chips. Definitely has a ways to go.
I know, that's my .gif
I can't wait for the water/rain/smoke stuff to be implemented. Especially smoke.
nope, assetto corsa early access just came out though
I've been hearing people praise this game forever. A long time ago I tried it and couldn't even complete a lap. Braking was a nightmare and taking turns was painful. What's so good about it?
did you use a pad? you really have to use a wheel to experience AC but its pretty much the best physics out there, MUCH better than CARS atm
Yup, it pretty much sucks with a pad, but I could still feel the underlying physics be absoutely fantastic, at least on the E30. The early access felt a bit rough still though, but I've no doubt it has some of the best physics we've seen.
If I remember correctly, I tried it with a wheel. I don't know about the physics, but I sure had a lor problems controlling my car.
