yeah i agree but still the wii u is more powerfull then xbox360 and ps3 and both got good looking racing sims. So they might have to remove some effects and co, but the game would still look pretty good compared to last gen games.Do you think mario kart 8 look bad btw?

I think we are already behind the time as games looked "bad". That was on wii.

Now its more like

wii u: game looks good

ps4: game looks better

pc: game looks best

 

But on none 8gen system a game will look bad /unplayable bad if made devent.

I think my biggest issue with this particular case is that these guys pretended to be supportive all along, they dismissed rumors of problems and doubts up until now, all along stating that the Wii U version was coming on time and doing nicely.

It would be better if they were just honest from the beginning, this makes them look like idiots and dishonest ones at that; I doubt that they only just now realized that they had stumbled across some challenges in producing the visuals they wanted on this particular platform.

I agree that one could easily make a good-looking racer like this on the Wii U; there really isn't anything preventing it if you have a clear structure and goal, it is a perfectly capable machine and certainly nowhere near the power gap between the Wii and PS3/360 in the 7th gen.
