I hope Nintendo fans who own other consoles will make the Wii U their first choice for 3rd party titles over the next 2 years if they want to see future support.

There's no point in complaining about lack of support if you ignore what support there is.

that.... will only motivate them to do it... its not the specs, its the cost to compile it, as its the only console with IBM from now on. Because for ms and sony will cost nothing, just reduced settings...

Anything third party that comes out which I enjoy will be a WiiU purchase for me I must admit I'm not a die-hard Nintendo fan, infact I don't really favour any console as it's just about the games for me. But I won't be able to afford the PS4 or 720 so I'm happy with supporting dev's by purchasing third party. Hopefully that way more will come out! : 3

YES! Some good news!

This has been done on a new engine,not the one in AC3. Called Disrupt.

I consider Wii U a next-gen console. However, the spec difference between Wii U and PS4 is clear. I don't see the gap being as big as Wii--->PS3/360, but there will be clear performance differences(resolution, FPS, AI, on-screen action/detail, etc...). If Ubisoft plays to the PS4's strengths, Watch Dogs on PS4 will look better than the Wii U version, but the difference shouldn't be dramatic. Not difficult to grasp. I guess we'll find out soon enough.

So in other words, they are going to be the same.

But the u has the tablet functions, which is perfect for this exact game.

Is the PS4 more poweful than Wii U? Of course. No one is arguing that.

but the Wii U willhold its own.

And since this particular game is the subject of this thread - and this particular game is out on both systems, and this particular games shares assets (PC target, which Wii U and PS4 both hit easily, downgraded on PS3 and 360), it makes no sense to assert the PS4 version of this game will be better as you did earlier (now it's an if they do this or that? lol) Just getting back to the orginial point, which was erroneous.

On a technical level? Depends how much care they put into the Wii U version. According to this link, Ubisoft seems pretty big on going all out on the PS4 version. http://www.tweaktown...-ps4/index.html

As Ubisoft wants to use the PS4's strengths and advantages, I hope they do the same for the WIi U version. Any differences between these two versions should be minimal. I have no doubt the Wii U is a very capable machine and I want Ubisoft to use Watch Dogs to demonstrate just how capable it is.

But the u has the tablet functions, which is perfect for this exact game.

I agree 100%. I have every intention of picking this up on Wii U. I hope Ubisoft makes great use of the pad. The potential is definitely there.

Agreed.

but the Wii U willhold its own.

I think it will too. I love the console and I want developers to really give it a chance and show off its strengths and capabilities, both technically and creatively.

And since this particular game is the subject of this thread - and this particular game is out on both systems, and this particular games shares assets (PC target, which Wii U and PS4 both hit easily, downgraded on PS3 and 360), it makes no sense to assert the PS4 version of this game will be better as you did earlier (now it's an if they do this or that? lol) Just getting back to the orginial point, which was erroneous.

We'll see soon enough how it all turns out. I'm curious to know when we can expect footage from all versions. Perhaps E3?

Well, color me surprised. Ubisoft has announced development of the ps360 versions hasnt even started yet.

Yet the wii u version is already up and running.

This is a surprise and great news. Seems like Ubisoft is actually putting a great effort into making sure the U version is more in line with the PC and PS4 versions. Hopefully, the high-end assets will carry over well and look spectacular. Add in unique and immersive GamePad usage and we'll have a winner.

I wonder if they can't run the new engine? Maybe they need a port running the older engine?
