Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Enough about EA, Let's see what Ubisoft has to say

this is good news i guess..

3 of the 4 are ps360 games ported over which will do little to attract new customers to wiiU imo.

1 of the 4 is a wiiU game delayed to port to ps360 which doesn't show a ton of confidence by ubisoft imo.

much better support than from EA to be sure. it means they aren't canceling wiiU projects but i really have to wonder if they'll approve more wiiU projects in the future if EA and many other (based on rumors) are all pulling away. even if ports are profitable the opportunity costs will be quite high if the rest of the industry undermining proves successful.

Ubisoft have no competence in the WiiU market... very good news for them and i love AC a lot. so this are good news.



34 years playing games.

 

I was going to get the Watch Dogs for PS4 since that version will have more DLC content, but I'm worry if I buy the PS4, I'll be in a Wii U slump again, plus, its way too expensive for my taste. Wii U version it is and Splinter Cell to if the Pro controller is usable.



Don’t follow the hype, follow the games

Here a little quote I want for those to keep memorize in your head for this coming next gen.

When this thread was first posted, I glanced over it as I thought it was yet another EA thread. I only looked at it now cause I was bored and wanted to be entertained by all the nonsense going on in the EA threads, but nicely enough that's not the case here. =)
Anywho, it's great that they understand that a big instal base wont arrive overnight. A system needs games to sell afterall.
Personally, I usually get most multiplatform games on the Playstation, Ubisoft games being one of em, so sorry I'm not supporting 3rd party ons Nintendos. D:



Ubisoft is nice.

I wasn't bummed about the Rayman incident anyway, I thought it was an understandable decision. I've supported Ubisoft for a long time now, got a ton of their games, on whatever platform. It's probably my second or third most bought publisher; after Nintendo, and either before or after Activision/Blizzard and definitely before Sony and Capcom. Most of their games are good, and they're an honorable company. Glad to hear they're not loosing faith in WiiU like EA has, but it's not like was expecting anything different anyway. I'll gladly continue my support.

Watch_Dogs is a 100% buy. I'll get it on WiiU. Won't have PS4 yet when it comes out, and I take it the WiiU version is superior to the PS3 version. I've always kept my eyes on Assassin's Creed, even after I've found the original to be disappointing. Who know, I might end up getting AC4.

Go Ubisoft !

I love Ubisoft. They are a logical company that understands that a consumer base doesn't make itself or grow out of thin air.

Kudos on them for not crapping on Nintendo when the U is seeing a slow start and kudos on them for trusting that Nintendo is capable of sustaining their console and will do what it takes for their console to be successful.

That's smart.



most of u guys change ur opinions of a company so fucking fast lol.

 

OT: i really cant wait to see how well ubi games match on the 3 next gen systems. 



constantly glancing off the screen is awesome.... so long as the main character has to do it(and for good reasons).  Loooooved getting phone calls on the wii remote; so long as the audio wasn't also on the tv.  Then, it was stupid.

"Positive Nintendo news!"
*Crickets*


Really people aren't biased against Nintendo. The only note worthy mention here is watchdogs because its potential with the gamepad. The rest of these games are just ports which will probably be identical to the current gen version.

The Gamepad could enhance all four games, and Rayman is ported from Wii U to PS3/360, not vice versa.

Did it enhance Assassins Creed 3?


No HUD and Off-tv? Hell yes. Given a longer development cycle, with finished hardware, ACIV stands to be quite excellent and will definitely benefit from the Gamepad.

In addition to Rayman being ported from Wii U to PS3/360, Watch Dogs is getting a similar treatment. Ubisoft had WD running on Wii U while the PS3/360 versions hadn't even begun development as of March.


OK...so what will do Nintendo when the PS3 and 360 get dropped and next gen consoles are the pure focus?

They will have their first party games, some third party exclusives/collaborations, and downports of PS4/720 games...just like the PS2 did for Xbox/Gamecube games. Watch Dogs is most likely a downport of the PS4 version...which is still a downport of the PC version. That trend will continue.

The Wii U is actually far more capable that most people make out. To keep things simple, it'll be more along the lines of a PC at max settings (PS4/720) vs a PC at medium-high settings (Wii U). I'm not going to get into a whole thing about it, but it won't be anything close to how it was last gen and third parties will most likely not do anything inherently impossible on the Wii U without cutbacks in certain areas. 1080p vs 720p, draw distance, possible load times, less particles, less realistic fog/smoke/whatever etc...but cutting those things down might result in the ability for 60fps over 30fps. Politics and money will keep games off of the Wii U, not power. But this is getting off topic.



I will buy four Ubisoft games this year, a first from me ever with any 3rd party. The only company I might have done that with is Nintendo. And I still want Killer Freaks.
