Developer aims to create a Gran Turismo for the Wii

 

London based developer System 3 has recently announced the signing of a deal with Ferrari, which could lead to the developer acquiring rights to create Ferrari-licensed games. Mark Cale, CEO and founder of the studio, talked with Nintendo Gamer and revealed that developers have a the goal of creating a Gran Turismo-like game for the Wii.

According to Cale, the game will be made not only for the Nintendo platforms (the DS and the Wii) but also for the Sony PlayStation 3 and the PSP. So far it’s set to be a cross between a simulation title and an arcade title.

Aussie-Nintendo reports that Cale has noted that the developers are looking at putting an accelerator and a proper steering wheel in for the Wii version of their game. Cale explains:

…that’s one of the problems of the Nintendo controller – you either have a very loose system that’s very forgiving but unrealistic, or if you have it realistic and you suddenly flinch or something it could affect the performance. We feel we’ve come up with a very good solution to that.

Will System 3 succeed by making racing games for the Wii? After all Cale himself said: “The advantage we’ve got with the Wii is there aren’t any great racing games on there…” Time will tell.
