With respect to consoles, I am sure it is the best version on a technical level, plus there's the tablet support. All in all it is a very impressive game and a return to form. Wii U owners tend to complain about inferior ports and what not. I hope they go out and buy this game to encourage Ubi and other 3rd parties to support the platform.



Its still a very late port so its not like it solves the issues Wii U owners have with developers. Are we suddenly supose to forget we played the game already?


Ummmmm .... what? lol Very late port? Are we discussing the same game here?

Along with everyone else, I have only had long loading and slight framerate drops on the plane. However, nothing during missions.

They did a good job with this game but I fear the sales won't be as good as I originally thought. It is sometimes very difficult to find an online match. D:

I've got it (flip off the retailers and buy it on eShop) and I've found the time to play a couple missions. It's pretty polished. Only gripe I could make at this point is that load times are long. One review complained of frame drops on the Wii U, but I've only seen them while wandering around the plane. Cutscenes and gameplay are rock solid.

I sure am rusty at stealth games, though.


I heard about that, how bad is it ? I heared that the PS360 versions have redicolus tearing issues...I take dropped frames over tearing any day (on a side note: I will never be able to play Uncharted 1 because of the shitty tearing....and because it´s boring)


Not too bad. If they crept into the actual gameplay, I'd find them annoying but not unplayable. Like the slowdowns in Batman on Wii U.

But like I said, they're only in the glorified menu system that is your flying ops base, the gameplay seems to deliver a firm 30fps, so I give this game a pass on framerate. Zero tearing, thank god.

Now if I could just get the knack of all these nifty gadgets...

Haven't seen it anywhere, however, when did we trust user reviews?

ah, thanks for the answer ! Sounds pretty good, might have to look into this !

The overall lack of hype for the game (on any platform) and the lack of offline co-op on the Wii U version will ensure dismal sales.

The Gamepad use does sound pretty awesome though, hope Watch Dogs on Wii U has similar usage.

Are you playing the Wii U version? It is hard to find it seems. I would give it a week or so for retailers to get it. Walmart usually takes an extra week to get Wii U games for some reason.


Yep. I preordered through Gamestop. Had it day one. It is not unusual for me to walk into my gamestop three/four times a week. xD

I saw several copies of the Wii U version at an EB games here in Australia yesterday, 2 days after release here.
