Like with Rayman? :o

Yes, such a shame Rayman bombed on WiiU and sold millions of copies on the PS360.

It's not like it released in a month with a game like GTA V or anything.

Because the game hasnt been delayed.

You know.

That's how its bait.

I read the interview they talked about this. Ubisoft isnt screwing over the WiiU, they're screwing over Watch Dogs. Lol. And the UK.

Define "Gimped."

lol their bitching for that one was justified, in some sense, since it was originally an exclusive, and more importanly delayed for a much longer period.

But I bet this will be used as an excuse for the hypothetical poor sales the WiiU version gets, so in a sense they will mind. 


That, I am willing to bet on as well. There will be pockets of people who will complain about it, claim they didn't buy it as a result, and then use as an excuse for poor sales (if it doesn't sell well).

Because a delay means when something has a set release date, then you push it back.

Like with AC4 in the UK. That is a delay.

The wiiu version coming out with the next gen versions is not a delay.



Well then it better have parity with the PS4/X1 versions of the game.

Not total parity of course, but close enough to it.

And by the way Pezus, because you seem to need reminding again, the Wii U version is still the best-selling version of Legends, which is also the best-selling Wii U game in the UK this week. What exactly does Ubisoft have to complain about there? "Yeah, Rayman Legends is one of the best-selling Wii U games weeks after release, and the best-selling version of the game is on Wii U, but... it's not selling enough more than on any other console. We were really hoping the 3.5 million Wii U owners would buy 6 to 7 times the number of copies 75 million+ PS3 and 360 owners are buying. I guess the Wii U won't be a high priority for our next Rayman title."



Worldwide delay?



"Expectations were also raised accordingly."

Well, for me that would constitute a product that is inferior in quality - such as poor framerate and omitted items - when compared to other versions (current gen especially) or if they'll exclude things available on the other versions such as DLC (which has occured with other Wii U games such as NFS and the upcoming Batman game which will not have MP available - at least at launch). Most Wii U owners have been complaining about inferior ports over the past few months. In general, they didn't seem to mind the delay with respect to NFS since it was superior in many ways (albeit it had its drawbacks as well). I think that notion will hold with AC4 as well.
