Producing a game for a Nintendo console is a different job. Like the developers at Ubisoft right now are claiming that "they don´t know what to do" with the GamePad for WatchDogs.

"The Wii U's GamePad is considered a "natural" fit for Watch Dogs, according to senior producer Dominic Guay."

http://www.computerandvideogames.com/393217/wii-u-gamepad-perfect-fit-for-watch-dogs-says-senior-producer/

is WatchDogs a Ubi game? isnt this the same company that said some similar crap about Rayman Legends, didnt they go as far as to say that game would not be possible on another system?

Yes, it is a Ubisoft game.

As far as I know, they did have to get rid of everything that required the pad for the other versions of Rayman Legends.


Im well aware of that, but that still is not the same as saying the game couldnt run on another system, which is what was said, which was a blatant lie. IMHO, its all just a bunch of PR bs, ill believe it when i see it.

None of the touch screen stuff can run on another (current home console) system.  No lie.

they said the game could not run at ALL, that means a port of any kind would not have been possible. We are getting a PS360 version, so it is a lie

What does this have to do with Watch Dogs?  That's what I was talking about above.

Ubisoft did NOT say that.

http://mynintendonews.com/2012/10/08/ubisoft-explains-why-rayman-legends-is-exclusive-to-wii-u/

"According to Ubisoft’s Chris McEntee, bringing Rayman Legends to PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 is possible. However, because Wii U is packaged with a Wii U GamePad, which features a 6.2 inch touchscreen, the upcoming platformer is a Wii U exclusive; if the game was coming to PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360, to get an experience similar to Wii U, consumers would have to purchase a PlayStation Vita or a touchscreen device that’s compatible with the Xbox SmartGlass application."

If you really believed a port is not possible, even though that was never said, then you are just gullible.  Ports are always possible between machines of similar power or architecture (360, PS3, WiiU, PS4, Xbox3, PC).  It is even possible, but more difficult, when the other machine has different architecture or power (Wii - Call of Duty, Dead Rising) (Also why PS3 ports were somewhat difficult - the architecture of the PS3).

The port of Rayman Legends for 360 and PS3 will just have to play differently than originally intended.


I never said a port was not possibe, thats exactly what I was arguing AGAINST. There were some on this website and others saying that a port would not be possible, as per Ubi. (probably tried to use it as ammo for their fanboy wars). I myself never believed it, but seeing the actual statement, I was right about the claim being BS and wrong about what Ubi said, never take online people's word, lesson learned
