Ubisoft still listing Watch Dogs for release on Wii U

Not sure that makes sense. I mean the Wii U is dead in the water. Why would you put resources into a console that isn't moving units? Maybe they will put minimum effort into the release and hope that the base that is already established will buy it? Not sure what's happening there.

NYC_Gamer3731d ago

It makes no sense to scrap a game that is most likely already up and running on Wii U hardware

afterMoth3731d ago

I look forward to see how the Wii U and Xbox One versions compare.

gedden73731d ago

Ask EA they did it... Crysis 3 was up and running GREATLY on Wii U... EA pulled the plug, not to say Ubisoft should that as well but we all know EA is a$$holes...

Just about a Day one purchase for me. Watchdogs looks pretty good!!!

iplay1up23731d ago

I am more than likely picking this up for Wii U. The gamepad hacking is supposed to be really cool, and I have PS4 too, but if the gameplay is better on Wii U, well that is what I will buy it for.

Neonridr3731d ago

totally agree with you. I have a PS4 as well. Obviously the PS4 version would be the most complete in terms of online capabilities and graphic fidelity, however the Wii U gamepad has some awesome capabilities that hopefully Ubisoft is taking advantage of.

I wonder if they would offer the same interaction if someone used a Vita in conjunction with their PS4. I realize not every PS4 owner has a Vita, so I don't know if they would bother trying to utilize features so that only a portion of people could use it.

ape0073731d ago (Edited 3731d ago )

unfortunately the wiiu version looks to be an enhanced currentgen version, if the wiiu was strong enough, then watch dogs wiiu will be the definitive version but it's not

i expect the ps3/360/wiiu versions to be a completely different downgraded build, just like GRAW on ps2/xbox original or splinter cell double agent on ps2/xbox original, because there's no way ps3 and 360 are gonna handle watch dogs nextgen fidelity/geometry, it's build from the ground up on nextgen systems/pc

PhantomT14123731d ago

You should take into account that the PS4 version (as well as PC and Xbox One) will have a better and denser crowd simulation than old-gen and WiiU versions.

But tablet features sound cool too, I just ordered Splinter Cell Blacklist for the WiiU, can't wait to play it!

gedden73731d ago

YES someone else understands the potential of the gamepad!!! I hate when people compare the gamepad to the Kinect. the Kinect has yet to make a game better with its functionality. The gamepad made Batman AC better and I here Dues Ex is amazing with the pad. I'm really looking forward to the gameplay ideas Ubi will do with Watch Dogs.

@gedden7

Yeah that was BS. Wasn't it a few weeks before the game went gold across the platforms? That was the BIGGEST waste of money ever, just so they could get back at Nintendo over the Origin thing?

Man, EA does some real BS.

Don't feed the trolls guys - just one glance at his bubble count should tell you what this guy's all about.

iplay1up23731d ago

Ugh, How many articles in a week do we need that tells us what Ubi said days ago. Watchdogs WILL come to Wii U.

Chrischi19883730d ago

But UBI did not say that days ago. You should read the updated news. They updated it and now it says "Gamestop confirmed to Polygon" instead of Ubisoft... The news around Wii U version of Watchdogs are so full of mistakes, that it cannot e a coincidence anymore... Unbelieveable how important gamers think they are, that they do such stuff, because of games...

I am all for it coming to Wii U, I will buy it there, if it comes.

iplay1up23730d ago (Edited 3730d ago )

Well, if it is not coming to Wii U, it is kind of stupid that there is still a link to order it for Wii U on UBI's OFFICIAL SITE.

I went all the way through the Pre-order and it is up and running. Again from Ubisofts OFFICIAL SITE.

manaxknight13731d 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.

LucasRuinedChildhood1002d ago (Edited 1002d 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.

HankHill1002d 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.

obidanshinobi1002d 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.

LamerTamer1002d 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.

gantarat1002d ago

assassin's creed 1 should get a remake.

ExBee1002d 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?

RaidenBlack1002d 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.

BlaqMagiq11002d ago

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

Profchaos1002d 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.

BlaqMagiq11002d ago

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

chicken_in_the_corn1002d ago

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

smolinsk1002d ago (Edited 1002d ago )

Absolutely, this watch dogs legion was terrible boring.

Profchaos1002d ago (Edited 1002d 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_toad1002d 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.

LamerTamer1002d 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.

TheSinsibleOne1002d 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.

LamerTamer1002d 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.

TheEnigma3131002d ago

Remake the PoP series from xbox/ps2/gc era

RaidenBlack1002d ago

They are remaking Sands of Time.

TheEnigma3131002d 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."

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

Pridefall1067d ago

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

neutralgamer19921067d ago

Give us driver San Francisco remastered

IGiveHugs2NakedWomen1067d ago

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

Gameseeker_Frampt1066d 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.

WeAreLegion1067d ago

Best driving mechanics ever made. Nothing has come close.

Gardenia1067d 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.

ApocalypseShadow1067d 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.
