Topic: Watch_Dogs officially delayed... on Wii U

[Soren]

Graphical comparison videos! Always never not fun!

Last gen versions look...better than I expected. Depending on how much work Ubisoft really puts into the Wii U version I expect the game to look slightly better than the PS360 versions. Maybe.


I still think NFS Most Wanted U will be the better graphical showcase in terms of "realistic" graphics on Wii U.

[Stogi]

I wish Pro was here to make sense of this for me.

[BranDonk Kong]

Only watched a few minutes but PS4 and PC are almost identical, surprised to see Xbox One not even close.

[Stratos]

That is probably because they based the Xbone one off of the 360 architecture.


It will be interesting to see where the U version ends up.


Though, this video highlights the silliness of this generation upgrade. Barely any difference except for the PC version looking the best.

It will be interesting to see where the U version ends up.

I'd almost bet one $10 e-Shop card that it'll end up somewhere around... here.

I like how they needed 2 columns for the Battlefield games. Also:

This list may not reflect recent changes

No they didn't. PS4 and Xbone are nearly identical in architecture.

Ubisoft threw Nintendo a bone with the same trailer that's been out for ages elsewhere, but now with a Wii U box at the end.

[Stratos]

At least this confirms that it is still coming to U.

[ShyGuy]

I'm less hyped now that I've played it, but I will still buy.

[Nile Boogie Returns]

Any word on a release date?

[Soren]

One of these days.


Speaking of Ubisoft, they revealed Rogue (previously Comet, the last-gen entry releasing alongside Unity) today and it looks like it's going to keep the sailing mechanic from Black Flag. So I'm kinda hoping that's the game that gets an insanely delayed Wii U port someday.

the wii u version taking a while? it is the platform that seems to merge with the concept the most

[Stratos]

Considering that Rayman is appearing in Smash as a trophy, I wonder if Nintendo has actually stepped in and is either funding development/publishing of Ubisoft Wii U games or come to some other arrangement with them. Ubi has always been the most supportive so I suspect that a little push could get them going again.

this is what I thought and would seem like a promising thought, HOWEVER, if this game comes out at $59.95, regardless of improvements (NFS:MW, Deus EX) NOBODY WILL GIVE A DAMN!

[Stratos]

True, I won't buy it @60. But I could bite for $40 or $30.


I wonder if the "games on hold" are ports of the older AC/POP games. Would love to get the HD POP collection or that Eizo AC set.

[Nile Boogie Returns]

Is that wrong of us? Are we somehow being snobby gamers? Or is it more of a value thing? I guess there thinking is "$60 game is a $60 game."

[Ceric]

Its market value.  If you can get the game for less than $60 on a platform you already own with only minor differences then you will.

[Soren]

A quick search of major retailers show the game is still in the $50-$60 price range. Unless the game comes out during the holiday season I expect it will stay close to the price on other consoles.

[BranDonk Kong]

It's listed at Target got 12/31, though I imagine that's just a made up date.

[Shaymin]

Definite placeholder. I think my most recent preorder has November 30.

[NeoStar9X]

Wow. Had not realized that there still isn't a date for this. Yet has not been confirmed as canceled. I was looking forward to this but now I don't know. It really does depend on the price and content going forward. Especailly since it didn't turn out as great as some were hoping. It being a first entry in a potential series that might be understandable. However forget about it's sequel coming to the Wii U. Which makes picking this up even harder in the end as even if it's a success (relative to the system numbers) it's likely meaningless when it comes to future support.

As I put the cart before the horse, it's been reported that Watch-Dogs 2 would take place in Camden, NJ which is a local hell hole of staggering proportions.  I would be very curious about a game that would be so close to home. Plus it's much much smaller than Chicago and the details could be incredible.

Ha, wow, and I though the racial stuff in Watch Dogs 1 was ill-thought out and uncomfortable...

[marvel_moviefan_2012]

What are the odds Watch Dogs 2 gets released for Wii U? I am still contemplating if I should just get it now for PS3, or wait till I have my new computer or wait ever longer till I decide which next gen console to get first.
