Playeressence - Slightly Mad Studios has released a poll asking fans which platform they are getting Project Cars on. And somewhat surprisingly, The Wii U has over 54% of the total vote. I think Slightly Mad studios is a shining example of how to treat Wii U fans and the console. Don’t downplay or half-a$$ it. Go all out as well and tell fans you want to deliver the best experience possible. This is why I love independent studios, they are not so influenced by corporate money of the big three. You can vote on the poll here. Project Cars is set for releases this fall on Wii U, PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Source: Project Cars.
This video explains why we think Electronic Arts didn't see a future in the sim racing title Project CARS and promptly cancelled the fourth instalment.
After the last installment I’d say most hardcore fans left. It’s just not that good anymore so I can’t really blame EA this time.
Ask Bullfrog or Black Box or Tiburon or Studio 33 or Criterion or any of the previously acquired developers who made racing games as competition, or as developers of EA games, then eventually dissolved into oblivion or reassigned. Just ask them. They'll tell you why.
Ian Bell, the founder of Slightly Mad Studios, is aiming to hire former Project CARS employees to work on his upcoming GTR Revival project.
If it's just going to be another sim-cade that doesn't do either one correctly then no thanks.
Project CARS 2 was a step in the right direction but the physics still aren't where they should have been, so what did they do for PC3? Go completely arcade. That killed the franchise.
From GI.biz: "EA is dropping Project CARS, GamesIndustry.biz can reveal.
The Slightly Mad Studios-developed series was launched in 2015, with EA confirming today that it has made the decision to "stop further development and investment" in the franchise.
The announcement was made internally and it's unclear at this stage to which extent staff could be affected. EA said that employees working on Project CARS will be moved into "suitable" roles "wherever [they] can.""
Typical for EA. They buy studios that created nice games..and are sooner or later destroying them and move the people to work on the old same 5+ EA series.
and instead they come out with that piece of shit of Need for Speed which looks like an Anna & Barbera cartoon. C'mon .... PC2 was my go to game for VR racing and the first one i played for tens of hours. i was so lookiing forward to PC4 after that failure of PC3 ... what a shame EA, they are bombing all the good games and stick to the garbage ones. EA when you think you have reached maximum of disappointment they top it off with style .... screw them!
What they did to this series was idiotic. The premise was great -- a sim/simcade game that GENUINELY got developed in line with its community. There is a huge gap in the market for this...I mean, PD hasn't listened to fans at all over the last year with regard to simple Gran Turismo 7 tweaks. Sim racing fans are screaming for a title where they actually give a shit about their users.
Project Cars 2 was genuinely on to something, it just needed some refinement. But instead they followed up by selling off to EA with a braindead GRID clone with Project Cars 3. Again...idiotic.
Multiple vote from the same user? A small number of votes? Anyway, if those numbers are legit, we just can get one conclusion: Nintendo fans are more active while surfing on the Internet, they like to explore the Web. Saying something else is pointless, because the poll doesn't show the number of votes, and we can't really know if there weren't multiple votes from the same user.
If and it's a big IF this games looks any where near the screenshots and videos they've been showing. Count me in.
If it is legit; then by all means, so be it.
Records have shown that third-party games that weren't gimped, actually did close numbers on the system compared to the other platforms. Examples like Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed and Rayman Legends, come to mind.
Hopefully pCars Wii U will continue that trend. SMS seems pretty keen to actually make the Wii U version the BEST they can. It would be a shame if it goes ignored.
No Forza or GT. Makes sense that they would want this game. Nintendo has never pursued the 'realistic racing sim'.
