They sold it to us as Wii U/PC project
but its the wii u, like how was it supposed to work?
messed up the devs sold it this way, and worse it took them this long.
idk i just feel like we saw this coming though

Well that brings up an issue, who will care about playing Project Cars in 18 months time on the NX?
And, consequently, I won't be buying it on any platform.
It's this sort of crap that gives Kickstarter a bad rep, and there's no way I can condone it.
Bull. The original pitch was for Wii U and PC (plus 360 and PS3). Then resources moved from last gen to current gen with Wii U still included. They said multiple times that the Wii U version was progressing well and looked great. SMS lied.The WIi U version was never a goal or a promise in the crowdfunding campaign, according to the developer
This game was funded as a PC game. Nothing else was guaranteed
This is why you should never contribute to crowdfunding.
I backed this project from the very beginning because I expected a Wii U version eventually. I am not happy
At least Steam version came out of it
I believe it was originally pitched to backers as a PC/Wii U game before the PS4/XB1 even came out.
This. Devs just aren't willing to put in the effort imo. Nfs on wiiu runs and looks great so I know it can be done. Glad I didn't back this one.
Wow that's a bit scummy, they should offer refunds to everyone that expected a Wii U version of this game.

Crazy. Crowdfunding can be a great tool but when stuff like this happens, it makes me very wary of the whole process. The fact that they took so long to finally officially cancel the game is really disrespectful to those who backed the game hoping for a Wii U version.
I'm so glad the only project I've personally funded, Shovel Knight, turned out to be a big success.
SMS lied.

Fortunately, it's not.So what happens if NX is a hybrid device that's weaker than the WiiU?
Are you guys sure it was originally promised to WiiU also? Developer apparently said it was never promised for sure.
True.
But they lied to an irrelevant market share. No one would have bought it on Wii U, let's be real.
If the Wii U version was never supposed to be a thing, where would all the hype for it come from? Even before the talk that it might be cancelled people were hyping it up. It didn't come out of thin air. It had to come from the people making the game, no?
they hyped up the Wii U version pretty hard amidst all the early launch "Wii U not next gen" talk
Oh I know, but them saying it was always a "maybe" isn't true. This was promoted as a Wii U and PC project from the get-go.True.

Clearly the scope of the project changed.Oh I know, but them saying it was always a "maybe" isn't true. This was promoted as a Wii U and PC project from the get-go.
Betcha it's PC / PS4 / XBone.PCars 2 for NX confirmed
It was back when the wii u was expected to be better than it was
when the ps360 version was cancelled, writing was on the walls that the wii u wouldn't be able to run it.
sure, they shouldn't have delayed announcing it was cancelled, but sounds like they were still trying to potentially port it going into e3

I'm not big into drivings sims so I wasn't planning to buy this, but it's scummy to say that it was always a "maybe" when what they were saying to the public didn't make it look like that was the case at all.

the developers have only themselves to blame for that widespread misconception
It was absolutely promised for Wii U originally. It was definitely not a "maybe" when they were asking people for money. I remember it pretty well. They were using the Wii U "hype" to generation interest in their game.

Was about to ask about this. No goal or promise? Stinks, but them's the breaks kids.
Are you gauys sure? On the Nintendo Life article they say it was never a goal or something like it
I'm confused
If that's the case, why does people keep repeating that it was promised? Wasn't 360/PS3 versions also in development at some point, but those also got cancelled.

no the writing was not on the wall because they actually used the ps360 cancellation to help hype the existence of a Wii U version
they made this situation and have no one to blame but themselves. this thread proves that.
So do you guys really want a stripped down, low performance version of the game then? That's what it would have to be.Nope. It was even after the Wii U was out. There was also a slide with Wii U/Gamepad specific features. There was a development log. Up until they decided to move everything to PS4 & Xbone. Then suddenly the development log stopped including Wii U news at some point.

Still not sure why it was promised in the first place. Never made much sense.
