It wouldn't take any immense amount of work. It's a port.

Getting this onto Wii U wouldn't be a simple process:

 

I don't think so.

Those games would have taken an immense amount of work too.

To develop, certainly. But we are talking about porting.

FF15 is made for systems with much more memory and horsepower than Wii U. It would have to be substantially modified to run on Nintendo's system.

That and I don't see how Project Cars is bigger than Mass Effect or Deus Ex.

 

It's an already stablished franchise or a new franchise that sold millions and got a lot of media attention.

When a developper say a project is big, he often means in terms of scope and amount of work. Not necessarly sells or media attention.

I think people should really lower their expectations. Because it may also be a port of an old game that is not relevant anymore, we got a lot of those from third parties on WiiU

How is Project Cars bigger than Mass Effect 3 then?



Bet with Xander XT: 

I can beat more games on his 3DS than he can on my PSVita in a month. Loser has to buy the winner a game on his/her handheld Guess who won? http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=193531

Me!

I just showed two games that prove otherwise. Zelda U and xenoblade x have scale as big as/bigger than FF 15 and huge detail as well. There is no huge gap between wii u and ps4/x1, as wii u's exclusives prove.

There is a signficant enough gap that games targeting PS4/Xbone would need to be considerably re-engineered to run on Wii U.

The RAM gap is what, 1GB for games vs 5GB for games?

Well, guess that wraps that up folkes. The almighty Materia-Blade has spoken and he knows everything about porting a game of FFXV's design scope and there'd be no problem. I'm sure there's some magic formula that can triple the Wii U's RAM as well. 

It's going to be pretty funny when the game in question turns out to be a Lego game or something.

Both rated M, so not happening

ME3 is one of the biggest game ever made. All I'm saying is that when Tantalus says "big", stop thinking big as in big game. It's a big project for Tantalus, so how can Project Cars can be a bigger project thant ME3 or Deus EX?

Well for starter it will not be an old game.

Maybe it's also because they have more time to work on this game.

Maybe it's because the content in the game is really big. 

They said bigger because in their point of view, it is bigger, but that doesn't mean for you it is bigger.
