Watch Dogs is a beautiful game on Wii U - Ubisoft

Ubisoft Montreal creative director Jonathan Morin has said that Watch Dogs is a beautiful game to play on Wii U. Morin stated that the game looks better on Wii U than on Xbox 360 or PS3, although it's not on a par with the next generation versions.

You know maybe they should show some screens or even gameplay of it, instead of just talking about it

Qrphe3851d ago

Ubisoft's comments are easy to doubt given the negligible differences among the Wii U versions of AC3, Raymen Legends and (more recently) Blacklist and the PS360 versions.

TheEvilWithin3851d ago

I'm excited for this version. I hope UbiSoft has done some really cool things with the game pad. Things like hacking and using the controller for viewing into peoples homes to see what there up to.

This is one of three games I am getting for the Wii U in November.

rustyspoon803851d ago (Edited 3851d ago )

No, they haven't unfortunately. In the interview he says that the pad is only used to play the game off screen. It doesn't add any extra game play elements.

MasterCornholio3851d ago

Well that sucks. Oh well at least there's the App.

AJBACK2FRAG3851d ago

Playing any game off screen is a pretty wild ability in my opinion. I think it's a great feature that I use often but I wish Ubisoft would go that extra mile and put some game play options on the game pad touch screen. I think that can make a video game more immersive and more fun!

MASTER_RAIDEN3851d ago

yeah well, words dont mean much considering the way so many wii u ports/versions turn out on a regular basis. lets see some gameplay before making such claims.

HarryB3851d ago

This gta 4 modded. No console will look as good as the pc. Your absolutley right..

Wii u is like leapfrog. Surprised it doesn't use cartridges.

Mr Marvel3851d ago

At least the Leapfrog has it's own identity and place in the market.
The Wii U is sinking ship and only the extremely diehard Nintendo fans would argue otherwise.

HarryB3851d ago

I agree. Wii u fans are aged 16 and under. Its why they give us disagrees

Chrischi19883851d ago (Edited 3851d ago )

Yeah, noooo.

Whatever you say now, I wanna hear it in about 1 year from now. Other then 3rd party stuff, which is almost always better on PC, graphically for sure, but gameplay wise even more, what makes those consoles so special? All I see is hate towards Nintendo, for reasons, which never were a reason in the console market before, on PC yes, on consoles not. Wait until the hype after the release dies out. People act like it will give you a serotonin blast if you own a PS4, but actually you will still play the same games with better graphics, a still low installbase will also be a problem for PS4 at the beginning, even if you take the record pre orders into account. They will have to compete against the likes and installbases of PS3 and xbox360 and that wont help the PS4 much and then, there will be not really much games after release. The hype will die out, not saying the ps4 wont do good, but it wont be the little magic box everyone makes it out to be, you'll see ;)

AJBACK2FRAG3851d ago (Edited 3851d ago )

Harry B I'm about to turn fifty and I own all of the Nintendo home video game consoles there are quite a few of us on Miiverse. You get disagrees because people disagree with you. Why the hell are you here raining on our parade? Don't you have anything better to do?
Mr Marvel, in my opinion the Wii U has already has some fantastic games with more system sellers on the way. If you know anything about video game history the cheapest and the least powerful home video game system ALWAYS wins it's respective generation! In other words Nintendo will win this generation!
We get it. You don't like Nintendo. You don't like the Wii U don't you have anything better to do than to come over here and write your ridiculous flame bait comments???? Obviously not! Really pathetic.

MasterCratosKong663851d ago

lol cmon harryb you can do better than that. Where is the talk of babies and soccer moms? Where is the atari comparison? I mean how are we going to get a solid grasp of all of your psychological issues if you don't troll harder? Amateurs man...

MasterCornholio3851d ago

If its beautiful show it on the Wii U. I bet a ton of Wii U owners are interested in seeing a demo of the gamepad with this title.

Watch Dogs Deserves A Remake, More Than Ever

With the world of information and technology, privacy and security growing every day, Watch Dogs deserves another chance in the spotlight, now more than ever.

RaidenBlack1001d ago

The only Ubi title that deserves a faithful remake right now is Splinter Cell 1.
All 2014+ Ubi titles are just underwhelming. Especially ones from 2016+ are just cancer.

LucasRuinedChildhood1001d ago (Edited 1001d ago )

Seriously, are we so far removed from Ubisoft actually making good games that people now praise Watch_Dogs in retrospect?

"Watch_Dogs has remained one of my favourite games of the last ten years." Jesus Christ.

HankHill1001d ago

I remember being so disappointed in Watch Dogs when I played it at release. It was alright, but I think I fell for the hype and I needed a game to play on my new PS4.

obidanshinobi1001d ago

This is what happens when mediocrity gets praised as good.
Standards are slipping across the whole entertainment industry.
What was once considering rubbish is now considered as OK, what once was OK is now being praised as good etc etc.

LamerTamer1001d ago

Everyone has their own likes. I liked it a lot myself. I played through it twice and liked the car chases and the open world with fairly decent environments and missions. It suffered from the whole downgrade thing where they showed graphics that weren't actually there. No game will appeal to everyone but it was still ambitious for it's time.

gantarat1001d ago

assassin's creed 1 should get a remake.

ExBee1001d ago

For certain! AC1 was brilliant at the time but with new graphics and gameplay it would be amazing! Do you prefer old combat or new though?

RaidenBlack1001d ago

I'd say a reimagining of AC1.
I direct AC1 remake would be a bad idea. It'll need better story pacing and significant better world building.

BlaqMagiq11001d ago

Old. Let it play like how it did with AC2-Syndicate style gameplay but refine the setting and story.

Profchaos1001d ago

It would need a lot changed for it to be enjoyable again as even back in 2007 on launch we were all complaining about it's repetitive gameplay go here perform one of three side quests repeat then assassination now do it over and over until a big battle with a unforgiving checkpoint system.

BlaqMagiq11001d ago

Absolutely. It needs it. The only AC I truly didn't enjoy.

chicken_in_the_corn1000d ago

I'd prefer it didn't. Ubisoft would make it so bloated, it wouldn't be anywhere near the original

smolinsk1001d ago (Edited 1001d ago )

Absolutely, this watch dogs legion was terrible boring.

Profchaos1001d ago (Edited 1001d ago )

As a fan of the franchise legion was garbage and I regretted my purchase for the first time in the franchise the entire thing felt like an experiment in NPC behaviour and released without the writers input on what makes a good story.

I don't think I'm alone in that feeling though as wrench and Aiden are brought back and the campaign was rewritten to fit them.

I am tempted to buy the season pass to play it again with Aiden but fool me twice shame on me I'm waiting for a deep sale

camel_toad1001d ago

Agreed. Despite the annoying hipness of the characters in part 2 I thought it was a really fun game. I was extremely disappointed and surprised at how many steps back they took with Legion. You'd think it was made by an entirely different team. Or was it?

It was just so devoid of fun.

LamerTamer1001d ago

Honestly one of my biggest annoyances with Legion is that they took out the camera views for the driving. I mean the behind the car view that they stuck us with is near unplayable. I always used a first person driving view. After two releases why did they take OUT features? I don't get it.

TheSinsibleOne1001d ago

The fist watchdog game was the best by far
After that they weren't weird and annoying with that hipster stuff. Aiden was a badass.

LamerTamer1001d ago

I thought so at first too. I got used to it and it ended up being good after some play time. I just had to give it a chance.

TheEnigma3131001d ago

Remake the PoP series from xbox/ps2/gc era

RaidenBlack1001d ago

They are remaking Sands of Time.

TheEnigma3131001d ago

That's good news. Hopefully it's done right.
