Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Project CARS For Wii U Features Particle Shadows, Multi-Threaded Shadowing

Is their any WiiU gameplay to watch?



Around the Network

Seems the Wii U is actually quite capable when talented devs put actual effort into it.

Sadly, I find driving sims to be unbearably boring, so I can't justify buying it. A shame, as I would have liked Slightly Mad for treating Wii U owners right.

It's so nice to have one of these threads happen while Red Dead Redemption is banned and can't derail it.



Looking good, but I will still likely get GT6. Maybe down the line I'll grab this.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Nice to know this game is coming along nicely for the Wii U, but it's a shame that it's exactly the kind of genre that bores me to tears. I'd get it otherwise.

Yes, this is kind of my problem as well .

so sick of all the news about this game. Let it be out already lol. I want to play dammit.

Indeed.

My only concern is that the past games from Slightly Mad Studios (Need for Speed Shift, Shift 2) have been mostly good but not great. Luckily, this game seems to be their own personal project, so I'm sure they are going to put more effort on it.



Please excuse my bad English.

Direct X 11 equivalent on wiiU? WTF

What kind of magical pony dust is he running on that engine to make that happen if its true that is...


Crytek claimed that the X360/PS3 versions of Crysis 3 used DX11 equivalent shaders, just to put this into perspective. And muti-threaded shadow generation isn't exactly a new feature either, GT6 has particle shadows.

The Wii U has some DX10/11 like features, such as geometry shaders.

"We want to make sure as much as is humanly possible can translate from a DX11 variant into a DX9 variant"

 

also the article is speculative, as in a point were developing was going on and they were experimenting tricks and work arounds to "emulate a similar thing".

 

I'd like to have an update on which features they successfully mimic'd from dx11 using their wizardry. 

We can only imagine what such talented studio could achieve on wii u though. Crysis 3 was canned by EA.
