I wasn't aware so many Wii U owners wanted the game.

for we are many3694d ago

It's not exclusively "Wii U" owners, I for one and many like me have multiple consoles as well as PC PLUS WiiU, it's the prospect of using the gamepad in this game to enhance the Gameplay and make this version unique given the overarching gameplay mechanic of this particular game which would benefit from the gamepad.

I still think I'll get the game for Wii U if the developers keep their recent promise of utilizing the hardware to the fullest technically, and more importantly take advantage of the Gamepad. If not, I'll pick it up on a Steam sale for maximum performance and 60fps, I don't mind the wait as I'll be knees deep in Mario Kart 8 at that time.

Nice to see in some of the comments above that some gamers still prefer gameplay over graphics. Marloc X Peteypickle Richochet Benjimenko good on you...

kwandar3694d ago

This is my "must have" title for the Wii U.

I loved Deus Ex on the Wii U, and I want a similar genre "hard core" experience.

GraveLord3693d ago

The thing is that most don't. Just look at the Assassin's Creed games sales or any other 3rd party game. They're all complete flops.

Shnazzyone3693d ago (Edited 3693d ago )

Personally I just want my preorder from last year to be filled and am a bit pissed that I have to wait longer than everyone else. Still gonna get it. I need a nice open world title. Still too cheap for a ps4, really don't want to play it on my 360. Wii U is the console I want this game for.

paleselan3693d ago

They don't. Personally, although I own the Wii U, will be playing the game on PS4. They're just trying to find a reason to complain.

Hey, I am all for Nintendo, old Nintendo, but given the graphic problems this game has been having, well, what I am trying to say is, on the WiiU, it will look like the inside of an arsehole.

t3gamenews3693d ago (Edited 2915d ago )

who are you to say what the wii u version will look like when it hasnt been shown yet? as confirmed those low res versions screens are from ps3/360 versions of the game. its also confirmed recently that the WiiU may be more powerful than xbone(or atleast better at handling 1080p/60fps). but devs need to get use to the powerpc thing which may be the reason for the WiiU version delay. also it has been confirmed that WiiU, ps4, & xbone will use nextgen version of the engine while ps3/360 will use last gen engine. & also that the WiiU & ps4 version will be 1080p/60fps, while the xbone version will be 960p/60fps.

Shnazzyone3693d ago (Edited 3693d ago )

It's pretty clear why you have only one bubble. You sound like every unoriginal nintendo hater around. Just pretend like nintendo didn't release an insane amount of incredible core games last year or anything.

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.

RaidenBlack994d 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.

LucasRuinedChildhood994d ago (Edited 994d 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.

HankHill994d 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.

obidanshinobi994d 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.

LamerTamer994d 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.

gantarat994d ago

assassin's creed 1 should get a remake.

ExBee994d 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?

RaidenBlack994d 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.

BlaqMagiq1994d ago

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

Profchaos994d 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.

BlaqMagiq1994d ago

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

chicken_in_the_corn994d ago

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

smolinsk994d ago (Edited 994d ago )

Absolutely, this watch dogs legion was terrible boring.

Profchaos994d ago (Edited 994d 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_toad994d 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.

LamerTamer994d 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.

TheSinsibleOne994d 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.

LamerTamer994d 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.

TheEnigma313994d ago

Remake the PoP series from xbox/ps2/gc era

RaidenBlack994d ago

They are remaking Sands of Time.

TheEnigma313994d ago

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

Inside the Driver game that died so that Watch Dogs could live

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."

vallencer1059d ago

Different spellings in different parts of the world friend. Tyre is a correct way to spell it.

Pridefall1059d ago

Dunno why you got downvpted when tyre is correct in Australia.

mikefizzled11058d ago

The mystery that is En Fore Gee

neutralgamer19921059d ago

Give us driver San Francisco remastered

IGiveHugs2NakedWomen1059d ago

Why did they stop making some of the best games ever? Driver was one of them.

Gameseeker_Frampt1058d ago

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.

WeAreLegion1059d ago

Best driving mechanics ever made. Nothing has come close.

Gardenia1059d ago

A story driven game with pure driving gameplay. I'd love to see a new Driver game or a remake of the first one.

ApocalypseShadow1059d ago

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.
