That would be quite lovely if they made it. Now walk the talk!
Hopefully it turns out well on a technical level. Hard to be overly optimistic about the sales, but good on Slightly Mad for trying.
Wii U, Xbox One, PS4, PC. 360 and PS3 versions were canceled.

Expected this to be a Krizz thread. Lol. Also, I feel like those guys talk more than most devs... do they not have NDA's or do they not give a fuck? I mean.. clearly this isn't breaking the NDA, but still, talking about CPU power for Wii U and PS4 and stuff isn't really kosher for those guys.

a worse looking game compared to x1/ps4 is better then no option of buying it at all if you only own a wiiu
surprised that they are not releasing it on 360/ps3 as well if they are doing a wiiu port though

Is the Wii U version a port, though?

No, 100% sure development started on Wii U before X1 and PS4. But both PS4 and X1 will likely be slight ports from the PC version. Considering the similarities.
Everything but the PC version is a "port." The Xbox One and PS4 versions are obviously more direct ports due to architectural similarities, but it started as a PC game and that's undoubtedly their lead platform.
its already playable on PC. its just not buyable right now due to some investigation.
One thing is true, that this is the only shot Wii U has at a realistic racing game. Given the fact that they give the Wii U version similar attention as for the other versions (and the development for it started early so they have enough time to polish it until next fall I really have confidence that the result will be good. Remains to be seen if the Wii U owners will can be bothered to buy it.
I hope the developers will show some Wii U footage soon enough or at list BEFORE launching it, not like the other 3rd parties.
It would be also great if they reopen the subscription.

They have a great chance to make a good racing game on the Wii U. I hope it'll turn out to be good and that Nintendo will help them get some coverage or exposure next year
I think Nintendo's very aware of them - they were at the iDEAME conference in Spain not too long ago, and there was a Nintendo feature on YouTube about iDEAME where the devs were interviewed along with others.

Due to my limited gaming time there is a chance I stay Wii U/3DS/PS3 for longer and get a PC later.
If this is good it is a sure buy from me, make it Digital Day 1.
Nice vid man, thanks!!

I just pray the game is decent. Has anyone actually seen the game being played?
Considering how long the Nintendo console base has been wanting a realistic car sim game, I'd imagine it could do really well. They have no competition in that space. On Xbox they're competing with Forza, and on PS4 they're eventually competing with Gran Turismo. First party isn't going to exactly fall over themselves to promote a competitor to their own software.
See also: RPG starved base made Symphonia the first Tales game to sell over a million in the west.
They have at least one of the programmers who worked on Most Wanted U, and Andy Tudor seems to be quite a Nintendo fan. He was one of the featured speakers at iDÉAME this year.

A Million worldwide, you mean? I cant find any figures over 200K-250K for the US or over 1 million for GC total
The Wii U version was announced first from what I remember.
Their press release regarding sales will be interesting in a few month's time.
That's probably what I was thinking of. It helped that Nintendo actually advertised it, too.
Gas on right analog stick, like most sim racers have supported. And some non-sim racers.
Not optimal, but not exactly a new control scheme either.

That's ok, vita it's more than capable of carrying it on its own.

My PS2 was more than capable of providing a core GT4 experience, doesn't mean I didn't get GT5.

did sony ever get that psp as a rear view mirror thing to work for GT5?
The sticks are analog, and so is the gyro - which, by the way, is a lot more precise than the accelerometers used in the original Wiimote and Dual Shock 3. Slightly Mad plans to emulate a racing wheel on the GamePad, so gyro steering should make perfect sense.

Oh dear. I wonder how much this title will be gimped on WiiU. Well done Nintendo for releasing hardware in 2012 that has the same performance level as machines released in 2006.
Wasn't it Kickstarted with Wii U on the list?
Would be kinda horrible to axe away shit you promised in exchange for money (if that was the case).
I'd get it on Wii U (a retail release)
What exactly was the purpose of this post?
$5 downloadable title, I hear they're planning freemium iOS and Android versions too.
It's a fully featured simulation racing game, all the consoles are getting a retail version. PC too, I'd assume, though most people who care will buy it digitally anyway.

Very excited to see the differences between the Wii U version and the other consoles. I don't know if they are putting in as much effort on the others, but they have been pretty open about how seriously they are taking the Wii U version.
They are actually trying. At least it seems like it.

1 copy sold or 100.00 copies sold its all pure profit is it not, I mean devcost is payed for, and every copy of every platform is covered right?
Yes, because there is nothing that I like better than looking down at my controller for my overhead map or my rear view mirror.
Take the positivity when it comes, but it makes no sense in this case at all.
The Gyroscope is something that the DS4 has quite easily and the Xbox one can dupe it with Kinect if needed (not sure how well but I am sure it would work).
It is good to see devs given the chances to shine though.

Because I really don't see the point of them bringing this to WiiU. It's going to look like a poor cousin to the rest of the systems and I really can't imagine how they will implement a decent driving model using digital triggers.
It's going to be horrible.
Surely you have another system you can buy this game on?
Every minute spent programming the Wii U version will cost money. The game doesn't code and optimize itself on each platform. So will it be worth the investment?

What?
They apparently did though. And its paid for so yeah...
So do you copy/paste that post in every cross-gen multiplat. Wii U game?
See you in the Watch Dogs thread I guess.
I play Gran Turismo 5 with face buttons.
PC. But I will wait and see how it turns out as I prefer playing racing sims on consoles and have no reason to buy either a PS4 or X1.
It says right in the OP why they are bringing it to the Wii U, they feel there is a gap in the market for them.
What does it matter if it doesn't look as good as the PC/PS4/Xbone versions? It's still going to look fine, or are we pretending that every game for the PS3/360/WiiU looks like shit now that "next gen" is here?
The right stick will be used for acceleration I imagine and while not ideal, is far from "horrible".
