Well, these guys are on my blacklist. Used the Nintendo fan base and sites as tools to build hype (cause sure as crap they had no shot in the shadow of Drive Club, Forza, the inevitable GT, or even The Crew at the time) and then threw them aside like trash as soon as they got in bed with the big money at Bamco. I don't care about the game; not a racing Sim fan. But their conduct has been inexcusably unprofessional.

They underestimated how hard it is to make a Wii U port.  That Doesnt mean I think their conduct has been porfessional either.

If Nintendos next Consol has a PowerPC type CPU.... it ll be this gen all over or worse, next gen for nintendo.

 

*Crosses fingers for x86 or ARM, APU next gen for nintendo*

 

The development issues aren't the primary problem but their conduct.  They bragged on the Wii U constantly to build hype, saying things that are now apparently entirely false and were never true.  And then, once they had the promise of bigger promotion and publication from Namco, they delayed the Wii U version to oblivion and then came out with a fairly demeaning (borderline directly insulting) statement towards fans, a statement that implied that "user disinterest" somehow caused the developmental issues.  My problem is how they have treated Wii U fans, leading them along and then slapping them in the face and ignoring them.  The possible cancelation is just the cherry kn top.  As for power problems, that's just incompetence on their part frankly.  It's a bloody linear racer; this isn't some open world super next gen game.  And not even the best looking one on any platform.  Obviously there can't be parity between the U and the Xbone and PS4, but making a solid port should not be hard.
