Are there any good vids of the WiiU version? I own the Vita and PS3 version....would be my first triple dip. But damn at that 60 euro's over here :/

The reviews say it is perfect

Cool, thanks.
I got it from Target's B2G1 deal, but now I'm regretting it seeing Origin's price of $30....

so happy right now - I SUCK! and dammit I wanted to search for this car but they gave me co-driver and all I had to do is hit the F1 logo to get the sweet ride I have been waiting for

Any random Autolog disconnects? This seems to happen all the time on the PC version.

For those already playing it, how are the controls? My biggest concern is the gamepad not having analog triggers and how that might affect it.
Worst case I supposed I could just use the Pro controller.

procontroller is also digital triggers
it doesnt matter though because if your arent going flat out in this game, youre doing it wrong

can't say I only saw VOOK64 pop up after the very first race still learning the controls everything is new so disconnect unless a message pop up won't notice
I just posted on movers and it asked me if I wanted automatic miiverse posts yes or no I click yes as as I type this the screen is showing all miiverse posts faster than I can read them
these are everyone not just friends
this game runs smooth
a nice thing it did for me was zoom the screen size on my scrappy plasma that crops with overscan

Guess I never noticed that about the Pro controller.
I wont worry about it then.
Thanks!

I know where my next £10 premium promotion discount point things are going... Just need Thursday to arrive now! Funny how I used to be happy waiting years between US and EU release dates and now I even find just two days aggravating!
I suppose I've been waiting four months to play this, technically!

Also picked it up for $30 off origin, fantastic price 
I'm hyped to play it

61,50€ + outrageous shipping to Spain. I hate when companies do this shit inside THE FUCKING SAME REGION pretending people don't know how to internet. For 30€ free shipping I'd bite. For the almost 40€ resulting here (in case they decide to do the discount)? I'd rather wait for UK bomba price.

Huh, can't even seem to find the Wii U version in the German Origin store - only the PC download, which is 15 EUR - lol.

Can someone tell me how loud the disc drive is while playing this?
I've heard certain games on the U can make a lot of noise.

Not that loud from what I experienced.

Is there a way to log in using a different Origin account? I created one not realizing I had one created (stupid me) and I'd like to use my original but I can't find a way in-game to log into another account. I didn't get far, didn't even race yet, so I can delete any saves from memory if I have to.

I'm such a mark...
But damn is this game ever pretty. And the Ariel Atom wins. Car is completely insane.
I said wow. For real.

Look significantly better than x360/ps3 titles then? Jaggies not too bad?
What from his post make you gather that it may look significantly better than the other console versions?
We already know it looks quite a bit better so I hardly think he needs an indication from his post to ask that question.

jaggies are apparent on my TV, but over all it looks and plays well. jaggies not that apparent on the gamepad though! i'm enjoying it so far, even if I couldn't get autolog to reconnect after the first disconnect.
I think so. I dont think any version has local mp. But this would have been a perfect platform to add it, with dual screen.
Yeah, if so that's disappointing. I want to play it with my girlfriend but I don't have the Wii U pro controller and I imagine driving with the wiimote/nunchuck just being...weird.
granted, I just remembered that the Wii u doesn't have analog triggers....that'll be odd too...

Definitely has some aliasing. Their solution for that could be better. Don't have X360/PS3 versions to check against but I severely doubt they measure up. I'd guess it's basically the PC version running at 720P with low end AA implemented and the draw distance set really far. And the frame rate is NAILED SOLID.
I'm on the fence about jumping to conclusions but (huge grain of sat obviously) it's easily the best looking Wii U game. I'm sure the PS360 versions are fine but I doubt any amount of coaxing the hardware will allow you to achieve these results.

I haven't played the other versions but the game runs very smoothly and looks great. It gives me Burnout Paradise vibes which has me excited to play some more!
I love how your Mii is displayed on the billboards you went through.
Oh and the developers put their Miis in the credits with comments. In these comments one guy from the team says he thinks this is the best version.
Cool details that make me believe this is not just a quick port

Awful comparison pics by me, but it's better than nothing at the moment. Wait for a DF head to head for all the fine details, etc.
Wii U
Xbox 360
Xbox360 looks better, crisper textures or did the images get switched?
