Wii U Version of Watch Dogs looks closer to the PS3/Xbox 360 versions, Head Creative Director says

While answering some questions on twitter, Jonathan Morin told a fan that the Wii U version of Watch Dogs looks closer to the 360/PS3 versions.

Wow and what does the PS3 and 360 version look like? I'm afraid.

AngelicIceDiamond3699d ago

And that's exactly what I was afraid of...

Yui_Suzumiya3698d ago

I love this game irregardless of the concerns but that did make me laugh :3

Metallox3698d ago

Dude, take my bubble.

Excellent sprite, BTW

ritsuka6663698d ago

So, this pic the resolution is 1080 p or 720 p? lol

LOL_WUT3698d ago

Who actually thought the console would be on par with the ps4/X1 versions? This makes sense as the WiiU is not a next gen console spec wise ;)

Up_N_U3698d ago

Honestly its your fault for getting mad if you thought it would be even close to the ps4/xbox one version,should be common sense for a person to know that.Sad that was a question....

classic193698d ago

i think it will look ok, afterall gta5 looks good both on ps3&360. the game looks fun, ps4 for me tho when i can find one that is..=)

Imonaboat13699d ago

Well duh ... You cant expect a last gen version to look current gen

windblowsagain3699d ago

Wii u has the same fillrate as PS3/360.

4.4gigapixels.

Hence it will basically look the same, But could have better textures due to more ram.

Muffins12233698d ago (Edited 3698d ago )

He did not say it would look like the 360/ps3,he just said it would look closer to those than that of ps4/xbox one. It will probably look a little sharper than the last gen version but will still look pretty bad compared to pc or current gen.

lilbroRx3698d ago

That is a lie. The Wii U has a much higher fill rate than the PS3/360. That is why Project C.A.R.S. was dropped for the PS3/360 and not the Wii U.

Also, most Wii U version of multiplats have higher res textures and further draw distances than the PS3/360.

Shok3698d ago

Old news, this was said before.

BoneBone3698d ago

Old news is old. Looks better than last gen but not as good as PS4. Mind blown.

'Ubisoft Montreal creative director Jonathan Morin has said that Watch Dogs is a beautiful game to play on Wii U.'

'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.'

"I would say the Wii U version is pretty much in between what the current gen is and what the next gen is from a version standpoint," said Morin. "It's hard to position it. I would tend to say it's maybe a bit closer to current gen than next gen for certain things but it's a beautiful game on Wii U and it's cool to play it just on the GamePad."

Pyro2000x3698d ago

Hmmmm why won't you talk about Batman Arkham Knight now bein on the Wii U on YouTube?

Ck1x3698d ago

Well to be honest, not even the PS4 version looks like it did before. So it's not surprising that my guess is WiiU will look like an Assassin's Creed game. Watchdogs was just to ambitious for all the consoles involved to look anywhere close to the e3 2012 version. Most of the WiiU owners want the game because it is probably one of the few must have games that actually uses the gamepad in a unique way.

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.

RaidenBlack1000d 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.

LucasRuinedChildhood1000d ago (Edited 1000d 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.

HankHill1000d 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.

obidanshinobi1000d 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.

LamerTamer999d 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.

gantarat1000d ago

assassin's creed 1 should get a remake.

ExBee1000d 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?

RaidenBlack1000d 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.

BlaqMagiq1999d ago

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

Profchaos1000d 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.

BlaqMagiq1999d ago

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

chicken_in_the_corn999d ago

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

smolinsk1000d ago (Edited 1000d ago )

Absolutely, this watch dogs legion was terrible boring.

Profchaos1000d ago (Edited 1000d 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_toad1000d 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.

LamerTamer999d 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.

TheSinsibleOne1000d 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.

LamerTamer999d 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.

TheEnigma3131000d ago

Remake the PoP series from xbox/ps2/gc era

RaidenBlack1000d ago

They are remaking Sands of Time.

TheEnigma3131000d 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."

vallencer1064d ago

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

Pridefall1064d ago

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

mikefizzled11064d ago

The mystery that is En Fore Gee

neutralgamer19921064d ago

Give us driver San Francisco remastered

IGiveHugs2NakedWomen1064d ago

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

Gameseeker_Frampt1064d 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.

WeAreLegion1064d ago

Best driving mechanics ever made. Nothing has come close.

Gardenia1064d 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.

ApocalypseShadow1064d 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.
