I saw these pics today or yesterday at neogaf.  Is that really Project CARs?  Are those in game shots?  They look like actual pictures of a race to me.

That is Project CARS and that is an in game shot, but the logo on the care is not official according to the makers of the game. Fan made alterations.... so they say.

WOW, and I thought gran turismo looked good.  Those car models and the texture work are amazing.  So this is coming out for WiiU and Nintendo is rumored to be making their own GT killer in a way.  Its funny, I never thought I'd get my sim racing fix out of my WiiU.  All I need now is my yearly sports games and western rpgs on WiiU and I'll have no need for the PS720.

Wait who is making this Project Cars?!

Also the Mario shown at E3 will be the full fledged version of that SMBMii demo we saw last E3 according to a Nintendo rep.

The tracks look really bland in those shots but some race tracks aren't grand vistas so I don't put too much attention on that but those car models in those images look really good IMO.  They don't  look like clear video game cars.  I'm sure its the textures that give it  that touch of realism.  Those images would fool the average person 100 percent of the time I think.

It's good enough to pass very casual inspection if you stuck those pictures in a stack of other real photos. Shrinking the pictures is a cheap trick to make them look nice.

Project Cars...running the prettiest cars in the video game business at 15 frames per second.

I am of course joking...but those just look too good.

If you look at footage of Need for Speed: Shift and Shift 2: Unleashed and consider ever-growing computer power, then the level of detail achieved in those screen shots is in the realm of possibility. Slightly Mad Studios made those Shift games to be real lookers. With Project CARS undergoing development on the PC, it is no surprise the car models look so pretty.

http://www.wmdportal.com/projectnews/project-cars-community-gallery-15/#more-1075

As for the tracks being low-detail, please be reminded that Project CARS (Community Assisted Racing Simulator) is being made in a crowd sourced manner. All the resources are probably being put in what the community want: beautiful cars and respectable environments.

EDIT:
A neat little night video of the California highway track from build 179, pre-alpha.

Oh very nice. It looks like they have their priorities straight. Not the prettiest thing around, but they do have the important things nailed down flat.

Well lets just hope it does capture the feeling of speed a racing game need...that pre alpha footage looked slow, but it was pre alpha...or it is not fair to judge. 

Also I hope the physics are great and have options for an arcade experience and simulation experience.

Developers of Cave Story say Wii U is the most powerful system Nintendo ever made.

It's in spanish so hopefully you have that auto translator. Nothing big in there I don't think. Not totally reassuring for you pessimists out there, since a statement like that is a given. But be happy anyway!


Other analysts actually say's good things about Wii U.

Lots of quotes in there from Pachter and others who like to feed off the anguish of you folks who are easily swayed by the bad rumors.

$300 being a death price point is a bunch of bull.

The PS3 and 360 little version are around $250.

This is a textbook example of Double Speak. Even the most negative anti-Nintendo analyst ever doubted the Wii U was going to be more powerful than the Wii. The Wii is currently Nintendo's most powerful system (unless the 3DS is more powerful, which it may be), but the Wii is extremely weak by current gen standards, so the bar is very low and for the Wii U to rise above that bar and become Nintendo's most powerful system isn't really saying much.

What we all really want to hear is that the Wii U is the most powerful console ever made by ANYONE, but that's not what we're hearing. So the uncertainty over whether or not the Wii U is more powerful than the PS360 still lingers on.

I could honestly give less than two shits how powerful the Wii U is

All I want is support. And have said support not dry up and die for months on end. (see also: Wii, most of 2011)

I think the 3DS is more powerful than the Wii... I only think so, though. My reasoning is that it displays prettier games on a smaller space and has much better online.
