Ferrari Challenge - Interview with Producer, Mark South

This interview shows what Wii owners can expect. Other than in the opening sentence, the platform wasn't once mentioned. Expect a watered down port, made as a sideproject to fund their expensive PS3 engine.

This seems like the kind of gaming experience a true Ferrari aficionado like myself can really sink his teeth into. Especially if these thoroughbred machines do get a bit banged up.

Looks like a whole lot of research went into this production. If Mark put half the virtual automotive realism and driver "feel" he spoke of into this game, I know I'll be hooked...

what do you expect for the wii version?
wii is a gamecube on proplus so its always gonna get lame ports cuz its got decade old hardware.
with an over rated controller that few devs have a clue how to exploit maybe ppl will finally see wii for what it is - a one trick pony that is the flailathon party game

Wow, a troll that doesn't even have the balls to use his true account. Shocking. A one trick pony? Okay, buddy. What exactly would be the one trick? Metroid Prime 3? Super Paper Mario? Dewy? Mario Galaxy? No More Heroes? Manhunt 2? Mercury? Or were you referring to that pony game by Ubisoft? Lol.

I bet if we go back 2 years, this is exactly what you said about the DS, mirite? I'm laughing my ass off, knowing you're probably reaching boiling point every time sales data get released, and Wii is ridiculing PS3 and 360, and more and more devs start restructuring their development spendings towards Wii. Maybe then people will start seeing the HD systems for what they really are: lastgen experiences with pretty graphics. OMG! T3h Biaz!!!

what can i say.....awesome, awesome, awesome! Just the work alone involved in such a game! I commend Mark and the team.... can't wait to try it!

before you get too excited about this, ask yourself why he only mentions one previous game.i guess they are not too proud off big mutha truckers or pimp my ride or any of the other lame ass games before that,i may be wrong though but i'd keep it in your pants for the mo.

i think youre right about the wii version ozfunghi. theres a chance that even with the minor focus theyve given the wii version, it still be good if the ps3 version is hot, but i wouldnt expect decent wiimote implementation. it wouldve been a massive deal getting the wiimote to feel right with all the different ferraris, he wouldve mentioned it if it had been done well

Your comments about Wii are incorrect. Ferrari Challenge really pushes the envelope on Wii with a dedicated engine - you cannot port from PS3 to Wii. There is nothing else like it on the market and it is every bit as impressive as the PS3 version considering the hardware. Don't take my word for it - check out the features in the UK's Official Nintendo Magazine for an un-biased opinion.

Heh! Paid for by manufacturer magazine, un-biased?

no the wii is an evolution of gamecube its so much more powerful u are stupid to think how u think factor 5 said that the wii can do every game out there with his engine ect and at higher frame rates wii can do HDR/AA as found in darkside chronicles and MH3,ps2,gamecub,xbox could not do HDR/AA/MOTION BLUR without faking it wii can do it at 60fps with 16 texture passes and programmable shaders ect so now your stuff before chatting rubbish
