Assassin's Creed 3 Gameplay - Wii U Demo - E3 2012

We all agree that Assassin's Creed 3 looks amazing, but what about on the Wii U? We get taken through a full section of the game to see how it stacks up.

AC3 looks pretty good on the wii-u, it's not bad at all.

It looks very impressive on the Wii U that's for sure, but its exciting to see a few of the new game mechanics in action too. Transported haystacks for moving hidden kills, diving through buildings to break chases, etc.

Im sure you can. Essentially the buttons are mapped out and labeled the same. The only difference is that you will have one dedicated button for the weapon wheel.

Good question! I think it has a limit of about 30 feet or so away from the console, so it's not very functional as a handheld. However, its range is enough for you to play in a seperate room, if it's nearby.

I wouldn't call it a rushed port... it's more like a multi-plat. While this game is coming to PS3 and X360 at the end of October, the Wii U version will be available at launch (possible November 18th release).

No, the ps3 and xbox360 put out 1080p after its upscaled.. Most games like halo, gears of war, Resistance.. etc. etc.. run at 640p or 720p and get upscaled to 1080p. Both systems do not do true 1080p. I'm hoping the wii u does 1080p at 60fps.

Some of the developments look so simple, like the moving haystacks, or climbing trees and ropes, just brilliant :)

[HorTyS]

I'm liking how much faster & even more fluid all the climbing looks. Game looks fantastic...

[SkaffaS]

so is this supposed to be their next gen console? or does nintendo come up with something new this year or 2014?

[wiiwinii]

no HUD and clutter on the screen, and it doesnt disrupt the flow of the game like when you would have to pause or pull up a menu and select and item, and then go back to the game

[brinztar]

You're not forced to use them, you can use a regular controller, the Wii U controller Pro, to play AC like you would on other systems. You, of course, will get this game on some other system that isn't the Wii U for obvious reasons. People like me will get it on the Wii U because it would be more convenient + I welcome the new features (don't need to pause to equip stuff etc.)

[kylestyle]

These gameplay videos just keep making me want the game more & more! They've totally changed the gameplay to make it modern rather than copy & paste from the last 3 games. Well done Ubisoft!

assassin's creed 3 looks so amazing on the wii u

[redwingsfan]

You have the inventory on the screen too. Also you do want a minimap on the regular screen because it makes navigation easier/quicker and so you don't always look at the controller. Plus I imagine the ac3 team did not have the WiiU devkit early on during development so they put the map and inventory down there.

[crazypoptarts]

Actually, it's not as chunky as you'd think when you're playing it. It fits quite nicely into your hand and only weighs about as much as a 360 controller.

[hungryhippo]

You can always use the Wii U GamePad Pro if your too embarrassed to play with the regular GamePad.
It's pretty much the same size as the Xbox 360 controller with a very similar shape. You can say it's the GamePad minus the screen.

[MtMarshi]

For someone who has a ps3, but is getting the wii u at launch id love to know if waiting the extra month to play this is worth it?

[MrZeyad]

i don't get it, it's a wii controller controlling wii console or does wii u has a specific discs the gets into that wii controller and plug into the tv??

[arianta]

this is freakin epic, I love how there are so many innovations for the game, can't wait to buy it!

[MrIndiemusic]

Ubisoft said the game is running native 1080p on wiiu also at 60 fps while xbox and ps3 run at native 720p although graphical fidelity might be similar (that has to do with the engine not really the system) maybe better shading since it has Dx10 support. The image is going to be much clearer and run at an excellent frame rate.
