I've been reading quite a few peoples comments on Facebook and various forums and most Wii U owners are claiming it's simply down to the devs not being bothered to optimize, Apparently it's a maHOOsive conspiracy XD
 
I own a Wii U, it could handle this if it was optimised.

Just because it's not as powerful as the other two, don't discount it. The games that are made for it, are as far as I've seen, better polished and all run at 60fps.

It might be more stylised but they are excellent in terms of gameplay. It's a cracking little box for it's size and unobtrusiveness. They make actual, fun to play games, instead of scaling down PC shooters and stuff that should be running on pc hardware to fit onto crap hardware they make more unique platform specific titles and they work extremely well.

It could handle it if the graphics were lowered by quite a bit but the game is about photo realistic driving *Or as close as is possible today* and lowering the eye candy just to get it to run on an under performing system defeats the purpose of the game.

I do hope Nintendo's next system is full of horsepower, Nintendo really **** the bed when it comes to 3rd party dev support with the Wii/U because they put lower end hardware inside their box.

The Wii had tonnes of 3rd party games. The WiiU doesn't because it hasn't sold as much.

Its not all about raw power.
 
Tell that to this studio ^_^

Sure.

Although... optimization doesn't seem to be their strong point with the current consoles either and unlike the Wii U, they're a bit easier to work with (it seems based on architecture).
They're very good with using crowdfunding (They're crowdfunding the sequel already!) so they've got that.

They do have some point but seeing how Nintendo have made some very pretty 60fps games for the WiiU its not exactly impossible..

Yeah but most of the games on WiiU are cartoony with very few actually being balls to the wall eye candy.

I like the Wii U as I'm a fan of the Zelda games but most games do look very last gen and if you have to compromise your game to run on a piece of hardware is it really worth it considering one of the biggest selling points are the graphics in your game ?

Plus lets not forget the Wii U performance wise is in roughly the same area as a PS3, It has 3 cores, 1GB memory and an undisclosed DX10 GPU, Doesn't exactly scream "Put your games on our system" to me ^_^

Nintendo have never been big on graphics..


I dunno, the few times I've played the WiiU (as I'm not a fan of nintendo products) I've been pleasantly surprised with the graphics. They're much cleaner and reasonable looking then you'd expect.


We don't need another crappy 'serious' console. While the Wii U isn't exactly the best idea ever, it makes sense to make something along the same lines (although less odd) next. Nintendo are happy making games for nostalgia. They only try when they release a lemon of a product and have to support it.
