Andy Tudor, creative director at Slightly Mad Studios, has explained that the Wii U version of Project CARS will be just as good as the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC versions of the game. In fact, Tudor says that because of all the additional functionality of the Wii U GamePad, the Wii U version of the game presents them will plenty of opportunities that the other platforms don’t offer. Here’s what Tudor had to say about Project CARS on Wii U.

“As soon as the Wii U was announced we were like `Oh my god, this looks amazing! We need to work on this´. There are loads of ways to use the Gamepad: As the rear-view mirror, or the parameters screen or for storing all HUD elements, or using the gyro to control the car…”

“There are lots of opportunities with the Wii U Gamepad, and we want to use it as much as we can because it´s so cool! There´s also Miiverse, which lets people post screen and post their thoughts on a game… The Wii U is full of opportunities.”

“But I can tell you that we´re making all the versions at the same time, so it´s not like we´re making the PC version and then we port it to consoles afterwards.”

“What we´re going to make sure is that the Wii U version is not the worst one, it won´t be a crappy version. We want people to get the game and say `Holy shit, that looks amazing!”
