Before the Wii U was launched Nintendo made the right noises about third-party support — here was a powerful system with backing from major players like EA, Activision and Ubisoft, we were told, and the innovative new controller would encourage unique, multi-screen experiences. Of course, everything is always amazing when pitched at E3, though the realities of the situation quickly dawned on us all and, actually, the perfect storm of Nintendo-exclusive content aligned with a packed third-party catalogue turned into a different kind of storm — of the public relations variety. The Wii U, throughout 2013, was caught in a maelstrom of negativity, some of it fair and based on fact but plenty that was undeserved.
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.
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.
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.
A story driven game with pure driving gameplay. I'd love to see a new Driver game or a remake of the first one.
*Reads title* You just got that? It's clearly up to Nintendo and indies now.
it only show us how incompetent and lazy those third party developers are. They simply can't program or code efficiently. I think a lot of games on ps4 or xbone will be games with poor and inefficient coding. Wii u console are getting better quality games from developer who inturn need put in more effort and thought into making game to utlise gamepad..and not relying on hardware strength.
Yeah no kidding sherlock. If devs want to stick their greedy wangs up consumers sphincters and give the middle finger to Wii U owners with delayed, lazy, old, mediocre ports.. then im not supporting them anymore.
Watch Dogs couldve been fantastic on Wii U. But screw innovative and immersive controls, we just care about the moo-lah.
i love the wiiu but the truth has to be said, if i were a 3rd party developer, i'd absolutely dread the wiiu, i mean even if i put time and effort programming for its architecture, i'll still be waaay behind the games built on ps4 and Xbox one and with abysmal sales, it's a Lose-Lose situation
ghosts on wiiu selling less than 1% of total sales
splinter cell blacklist wiiu(best console version) : only 50K sold
need for speed U : selling only 70K and the team dropped support because they lost money and time developing for that version
This is crazy. Even GameCube had better third party support than this. Looks like it's going to be anther n64 era where most of the games are Nintendo made and that isn't necessarily a bad thing. I would gladly take a next gen Mario tennis, Mario party, or even wave race or pilotwings.
