It really is. SMS isn't that big. They don't have the manpower to work on two entirely different versions and deliver the game by November. The WiiU version has been in developement since 2012, yes, but just check the 2012 vs 2014 comparision video above; many things have changed since 2012, not only graphically. Porting the stuff done in PC to PS4 and Bone isn't that hard to do because the tech can be somehow shared. It is not the case for the WiiU where the console is severely underpowered to deliver many features of the game. One example: AI tyres can be as complex as the player's in the PC game, but can't in the WiiU version, it needs developing different tech from the ground.
One thing to note is that since the Oculus support is still being implemented, SMS has the NDA thing going where people aren't supposed to post public videos yet. Since they follow this forum, people who post videos like that (whoever the uploader on youtube was) may find it an unfortunate way to get one's PCARS account refunded.
Another thing to note is that for ANY DK2 video with chromatic aberration, it's intended to help correct for the lenses. When you look through the lenses, you're supposed to see a more normal image, but the actual on-screen image outside the DK2 looks weird.
This is the opposite of games that add a chromatic aberration effect for artistic purposes -- they're simulating camera/lens problems.
took my words .....
I don't know, I hope so. There are two things that bother me at this point:
The biggest difference is the complexity of the different systems at work. Tyres are far more complex than in GT6, the same can be said about springs, and physics in general. This doesn't mean the game is hard to play, it's just closer to the real thing. There're more things you need to take into account when driving (there's damage and mechanical wear/failures). The game is taking into account most aspects that are important in motorsports, from weather, to grip in the track, to pitstops, to setups...
By tech I mean coding stuff. In my former example, I told you the AI is sharing tyres with the player in the PC, PS4 and Xbone but it wouldn't on the WiiU. You need to adapt the AI behaviour and all the pitstop triggers and all that kind of stuff aside for a different set of physics. That's the tech I'm refering to. It's not only the graphical aspects.
New video of the series 'Real Cam Effect', this time with Project CARS, where I've added filters for enhancing the realism and lighting, also flashes and spots on the lens. The video is recorded as if the driver take the camera on the top of helmet, is a lap at Mount Panorama, Bathurst with the Formula A.
