Exactly what I was thinking!

I don’t really do racing games, but it would seem pretty fun using a Wii remote and one of those Mario Kart steering wheels with it.

GTA V is actually kinda funny. I saw a young friend show me some youtube vids of a guy online doing his first play through of the game. Still probably a good game, but plays in the same fashion as everything these days. Just see the player die, spawn at latest check-point, die, spawn, die spawn. And that’s pretty much all you’d do until the end of the game, no real challenge, no real intellect inputted into the gaming factor.
As for WiiU I think project CARS will do the justice for the system. The WiiU is far more capable that what we’ve seen. For comparison sake, WiiU is visually outputting higher in it’s first year than what 360/PS3 were achieving in their 6th/7th year.
Also sales wise, will be very interesting, and I think project CARS has the potential to lift WiiU even a little further, because even though WiiU owners were shafted by Ubisoft, Rayman legends sold best on WiiU, even though Eidos absolutely shafted and ripped off WiiU owners on the Deus Ex Dir Cut port. WiiU version sold best there again.
Now that WiiU is getting a genuine build of a third party game, if it sells best by chance. That may teach the dev community that WiiU is 100% able to compete against PS4/XB1 in a very healthy fashion

Compared to what I have been reading and hearing in podcasts this news is 99% positive, so I guess I missed the sly bit of negativity at the end.

I listened to the IGN uk podcast the other day, I wanted to throttle them. They are suppose to be experts but they don’t understand the game pad.. And since when is someone a “hardcore gamer” just because they spend 100 hours on gta5? Since games like gta5 are so easy that anyone can finish them, I just don’t understand this current idea..

Not quite. The writer still had too beat the negativity drum at the end of the articule despite covering completely positive news.

Its great news though.
