Assassin's Creed 3 - Debut Wii U Gameplay Commentary

[CameronAC]

I use my Wiimote on the pc all the time. Windows 7 with automatic updates turned on will automatically install the drivers for it once you connect it through Bluetooth. So your comment fails there.

[robinZBG]

Played this game on the Wii U and the PS3 at Gamescom last month and I am really impressed by the graphics and gameplay of the Wii U. I'm a PC player myself but I might just get a Wii U just for this game and ZomieU.

[XHabHotel]

100% agreed. And this was actually confirmed by developers and by a Microsoft analyst who works with consoles. They will NOT be noticeably different in any big way, but may have better resolution and or color. Next gen is all about gameplay, not graphics. Wii U is what next gen console graphics will be, way more powerful, but graphics not much diff.

[vampezikiel]

give her props cause she is holding the control in an awkward position so the camera can see it.

[XHabHotel]

Well there is also the point that developers are saying it won't change. Not at all. They say that next gen might have more ram, so on par with wii u. Ubisoft says wii u is what next gen is. It will be very strong, like wii u, but nothing above that. It would be too expensive, and you wouldn't notice a difference.

[MrOmniblast]

Exactly! What I am most happy about, is that now 3rd party developers WILL NOT be ignoring Nintendo because of power issues! Finally the Multi-plats will be on Wii U. This makes me very happy.

[OfficerCosgrove]

I didn't mean to sound like graphics are the only thing that matters. What you said I agree with 100%. I was just sick of people brushing off the Wii U only because they expect to be wowed with Sony's and Microsoft's next console power wise. Too many people look at the Wii vs PS3 graphics and think that there is going to be a similar gap between the Wii U and PS4 but there are several factors that point that we won't be able to tell much of a difference between the systems power for most games.

to be honest i dont think i would pay attention to a little screen when all the action is happening on my big screen hd tv

[ProfessorFiendish]

Remember when Counterstrike was gonna be cross-platform?
The journalists that chose console were quickly incensed, as they kept getting sat down by the pc users with mice. A keyboard and mouse gives you much more fidelity, problems only arise when you have too many buttons to press.

[Djever]

"Are you trying to disable them or kill them?"
"She's trying to kill them."

[MegaUnavailableusern]

cause if it isn't much of an improvement there won't be any point buying next gen consoles. there has to be a significant difference whether it's scale, physics or graphics.

[FancyTophatDude]

this is the same for every launch title for a new console. the problem is that devs need time to figure out the way they can make use of the capabilities of a new system. just compare launch titles for the xbox360 or ps3 to new titles on the same systems.

[LREHAnimation]

NES, SNES, N64, GameCube, and Wii are all great!

[SolaticSyot]

I'm referring to later down the line, that eventually Nintendo might make something that will attract the PS and 360 audience. In example, if Nintendo decides to be the first to fully support the Oculus Rift VR hardware with the console. I could see a lot of CoD fans saying "Oh my god, screw 360, I want to wear that while I play CoD". Maybe not that in specific, but something on that level of awesome. :3

[KayleLang]

"In fact I haven't even heard of a Wii remote that is PC compatible."

Actually, any Wii remote (including the official ones) could work on the PC. All you need is bluetooth. I remember mods for HL2 to play with the Wii remote.

[Jeco]

a game that is going to be on all 3 consoles of course will not make use of the wiiUs power. Its just port graphically from the other consoles of course it will look the same. You will need to look at exclusives and most likely the first few waves of games wont be the best looking until developers get a handle on the hardware, just like with any console at launch.

[gomez]

But look at early Xbox 360 games in 2005, they looked like HD PS2 games, the same thing is happening here. In a year or two, games will start to run on the Wii U with its full capability.

[Strospiteri]

Comparing the rate at which the people at the stage are moving and the performance of the tv. I can say it's running at 60 fps (WHICH IS AWESOME). It doesnt show because of the recording rate of the camera. Hope this helps.

[VectorGaming]

you know its a nintendo related video when every comment is a paragraph long argument

[yirotogi]

Conker's bad fur day, Starfox 64, Zelda: OOT

I don't even need an argument.
