Ubisoft have stated that they have run Watch Dogs on the Wii U, and it sounds like they are starting development with the "next gen" consoles. However, Ubisoft never said what the Wii U is considered in their opinion, next gen or current gen. Now those fears are put to rest because Ubisoft has said that they haven't started developing the PS3 or 360 version. Therefore, the only logical conclusion since the Wii U one is under development is that the Wii U version is a port of the PS4 version.

Wii U version of Watch Dogs will not be a PS3 or 360 port

Good news. Looks like they're trying to make up for the Legends scandal. It's sort of working.

A PS4 port? Wouldn't it make more sense to port from the PC and scale everything to take advantage of that console?
At least it won't be a PS3/360 port.

I believe the PS4 and Wii U versions will be PC ports. That's good because, as you said, they can scale the game accordingly and make it the absolute best it can be on each console. I expect the Wii U version to share more in common with the high-end platforms. Of course, that's all in Ubisoft's hands.

Should be based off the same assets as PC/PS4. From what has been shown of Watch Dogs, there is nothing going on in the PC or PS4 version of the game that the Wii U cannot handle with aplomb (just wanted to use that word. don't get to do so enough...).
Different teams handling coding.
Team from Wii U will then downgrade everything from the U version to fit with old PPC consoles -- if UBI still wants to do that by then.
They are looking at intall base and therefore sales potential. But if the new gen takes off better by the holidays, there may not be an old gen version.
The game is already like Deus Ex on steroids, but way better graphically and minus the "augs." lol

They've only been developing it on PC.
If anything it'll be a PC port.
Exactly like the PS4 version will be.

I see it going something like this
PC>>>>> PS4>Wii U>>>> 360 >>>>>PS3
PC is best: absolute given. PS4 will be next, but only because it is more powerful than Wii U, but it shouldn't be too big of a difference because they will both most likely be based on the PC versions and the Wii U has the gamepad (although there is the Vita Connection, but we don't know how well that works yet). Then it will be the 360 which will have worse graphics due to older hardware, but it will have Smartglass on its side, and then we will have the PS3 version because it's harder to code for (hence the sloppy ports it sometimes gets with games like Skyrim, Bayonetta, and CoD), and the Vita Connection doesn't work as well as the gamepad or Smartglass.

no.
Start on the highest console then port to eveythign else.
Its harder to do things on the pc since they all have different specs. While consoles are just one system made for gaming.
But either way this sounds good. I hoping to see some really wii u power.

I also love how you deduced the fact that the Wii U version isn't a PS360 port by remembering that they got a Wii U version running already, you critical thinking you...

Thats probably what is happening, and what I expected all along.

Same here, I don't know why so many expected an up port from 360. It would make much more sense to build Wii U first, with PC assets, then downport that to 360 and PS3, though considering both of those consoles are CPU centric, I doubt those versions will be great.
