Hidden in the literal sense.

At least you can talk. Who are you?
Let's hope we don't have any stupid armchair comments in this thread.
Interesting that it's an indie developer proclaiming this, though in retrospect, I can't think of what the "best looking title" is on Wii U. Nintendo Land looks amazing but that's mainly down to aesthetics. Good on SMS in not making this a half-assed port, they've got my sale.

I think using the gamepad to generate F1 type steering wheel settings on its screen would be pretty amazing actually too. Us suckers on PS4/XB1 controllers have to go into sub menus while driving to try and change brake balance for example, and the WiiU users just turn a virtual dial. Sounds pretty cool.

Game is already payed for through crowfunding. Any and all copies sold ontop of that is profit (all platforms it coming to).
Does digital foundry only look at graphics or do they look at overall experience as well? I've never dived into one of their articles because typically I don't care. But it sounds like this Dev is saying it WILL be technically constrained but the added functionality of the Gamepad is significant enough to make it a definitive version.

As an example, it's really handy in Black Ops 2 on Wii U. You can adjust your bounding box and other settings via sliders on the gamepad screen as you're playing. So you don't need to go into the menu, drill down and change a number, then go back and play with it for a while.
They look at the graphics purely.
The lack of analogue triggers or steering wheels for the Wii U mean that notion is a non-starter. It'll be bottom of the pile.
Still, it's great that a Nintendo system is finally getting a decent sim racer, regardless.

Looking forward to this! Is this physical as well as digital?
Brilliant.
You obviously haven't played Super Mario 3D World or seen any Mario Kart videos.

I came here to say that. If power is so important, why make it hard to find/capitalize on?
With that said, Wii U graphics are more than fine for me. If I can still enjoy an 8-bit game regardless of how it looks, I think I can handle the Wii U not looking exactly like the other two.

Krillin, too soon.
Those are both first party. Why is it so hidden from 3rd parties?

Is 720p suppose to be bleeding edge? I don't get it, Mario isn't anything technically special (next to the new consoles).
Think about a list of 3rd parties who made real effort on Wii U instead of crappy ports.
My list looks like this:

And last but not least is

Indeed - it's not a bad looking game, but there really is nothing special about 3D world other than a consistent 60fps framerate. I don't see anything graphically that is anything that is beyond previous gen from a technical perspective otherwise, in fact, it has some pretty ugly textures (specifically that grass!).
Try NFSWU. And one of the developers for pCARS was actually working for Criterion before.
Pretty much, they don't state it will be on par with the other versions, there will be compromises to be made. Yet, it will hold well enough to be a decent game. And added controller features.
But Wii U is not allowed to have any kind of power.
True about the analog triggers, but don't count it out until you see it, who knows what they have in store for the Gamepad. I could see playing with the pro-controller and having the Gamepad as an in dash system or rear view mirror being pretty cool. Add to the immersion a little bit, get rid of all the hub nonsense.
The dev is actually probably just hyping because of he's afraid of selling 1k copies
Did you quote the wrong post?

Fuck, lmao.
Anyway. I think this type of talk isn't that good, it's better to under hype these things, especially with the Wii U under constant scrutiny in comparison to the two newer consoles.
Someone posted this "Mario 3D World already proves Wii U isn't just some piece of trash technically."
And he responded saying it wasn't technically impressive...
So... no I don't see how there could be confusion.

Apparently the Wii U version was not most wanted, it was merely wanted.

Mildly hilarious when devs come out and say stuff like this!
I hope it does well.

I'm sure it will look good. It's about a PS3/360 after all.
A game can make up for a lack of technical impressiveness if it has a great art style. This is why many people feel that much of Nintendo's first party stuff still is a pleasure to look at.
But anytime a game's visuals aim for realism(as is the case with a game like PCars), you basically want the most impressive graphics you can get. So while plenty of people will be able to live with the visuals the Wii U is capable of putting out, a game like this is always going to suffer a bit from the lack of power.
I'm mainly interested in hearing whether they are going for 60fps. I'm sure it can still look great with that sort of performance, but just 'how great' will be interesting to see.
Guess you're both a bit confused then. I said it proves Wii U isn't some piece of trash. Since when does that equal bleeding edge technology (which the PS4/Xbone are nowhere near close to either)?
Lmao

I'll laugh if it only runs at 30 fps after that bold claim

Hopefully there'll be an option to use right analog for throttle/brakes.
Well if you have a xbone....or is that 940p or something

Most Wanted did show us that just having more RAM is pretty significant. Not that it's super next gen or anything, but PC textures make all the difference in the world.

I'll get it on Wii U for supporting a racer on Wii U
might double dip on PS4 if needed
