Ubisoft's delay of Watch_Dogs spawns an encouraging outlook for the performance of the Wii U version of the game.
If you are looking for a bargain, check out the huge discounts across the entire WatchDogs series on Steam.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
Old. Let it play like how it did with AC2-Syndicate style gameplay but refine the setting and story.
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.
I'd prefer it didn't. Ubisoft would make it so bloated, it wouldn't be anywhere near the original
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
From VG247: "When cars slide, they leave tyre marks. In a game like Driver, they’re an aesthetic touch, part of the inherent cool of a handbrake turn. But those dark shadows in the road also tell a story. From tyre marks, you can determine the speed of a vehicle, when it started to skid, and its ultimate direction of travel – long after the car itself has vanished into the distance."
Why did they stop making some of the best games ever? Driver was one of them.
Assassins Creed 2 showed Ubisoft how to make money and Far Cry 2 showed them that gamers don't like complex ideas. Now Ubisoft just turns out games that are just variations of the same thing.
A story driven game with pure driving gameplay. I'd love to see a new Driver game or a remake of the first one.
Yes. This one. A definite remake of the first without adding any ridiculous fluff. The first game had great physics and sound for its time. The start of the car in the beginning cinema I watched constantly. My father and uncles were big muscle and classic car freaks. Only thing crazy about the game was the relentless cops in the last level. Insane the way those police cars were and launched at you.
Bleemcast made it look better just like PC emulators. But would definitely take a remake.
What scares me though is that if lets say assassins creed fails to sell on wii u and also whatever other ubisoft games fails to sell, they could cancel the wii u version of watch dogs. Hopefully it doesnt become the case
This is a very odd inference by the author. I mean, just because Mario Kart 8 will presumably release before Watch_Dogs that doesn't mean there will be a significant increase in sales for the game. If people want the best version of the game they will buy it on the PS4 or Xbox One. If they aren't getting a new console, there are 80 million PS3 and Xbox 360's.
This just seems like grasping at straws.
It means great news for Wii U owners! We now have time and money to spend on great games like Pikmin 3, W101, LoZ: Wind Waker HD, Sonic Lost World, Super Mario 3D World, and other multiplats like CoD: Ghosts! Plus other early 2014 releases like DKC: Tropical Freeze and Mario Kart 8!
WII U version.....heh ...hehe..hahaaha.HAAAAAAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
You know, the Wii U version might validate its existence if it uses the gamepad features and interface to enhance the gameplay experience, especially given the nature of Sleeping Dogs' gameplay and the central mechanic behind it. And if I only am concerned about graphics, then it's definitely PC version for me. But a ps4/x1 version will lack the Wii U-specific features as well as the graphics, performance and mod-ability of the PC version.
This has been the idea behind my strategy going forward in this gen: Wii U + PC(Steam)= Best fun exclusives and innovation + best graphics, performance and mod-ability.
I simply have no place for ps4/x1 at this time, especially when you also factor handhelds(mostly 3DS) into the equation.
I might buy ps4/x1 in a few years if they produce fun exclusives that interest me and if I finish my backlog of games by that time(it doesn't help that ps4/x1 are NOT backward compatible!)
