To be frank, yes, I´m still pissed off due to the cancellation of Project Cars.... but NOT because of the game itself, but mainly because WiiU owners were probably responsible for a great part of the financial contributions for this game to be done.
I remember that at certain point (about 8-7 months before release), there was a pool on the game´s official website, where we were encouraged to answer which system we would buy the game for, and there was a massive 65% of intention of purchase from WiiU owners, that later decrease to something among 60-65 % before they decided to end and erase the poll completely from the site
I thought that it was really disrespectful to anyone who contributed to finance that game, since a lot of people paid their contributions expecting the game to be available to their console of choice, what didn´t happened.
I probably wouldn´t buy it day 01, but it was so unprofessional from the developers that they should at least launch a formal excuse to WiiU owners, they simply gave up and left people with no word about it. |
They did give a formal statement in the end. They said that the game was running at 22 fps and that releasing it would essentially be suicide, since the money it would take to release it costs more than simply cutting it. They also said that they wouldn't recover the money if they had to optimize it.
In terms of funding, the game was mainly funded by pc owners. Those who lost out were in the minority that contributed for last gen. But they knew full well that they could lose that money (this is the nature of crowdfunding)

I don't think it was fair to cancel the game after all the talk that Project Cars would be the Wii U's Forza. They Hyped the Wii U version, even though they couldn't deliver. Really shit move. The developers lied to people who contributed.
|
They didn't lie though. In the end, they said exactly what was wrong and why they weren't going to continue.
If they were in it for the money, they could have released a shit game that runs at 22 fps and have unaware people buy the game. Instead they were honest unlike third party devs that release shit and never bring another game to a Nintendo console
