So much for purchasing the Wii U version. I give up, I love my Wii U but its time to put my multiplatform dreams to rest, PC it is now and forever.


Yeah, you are right. With multiplatform go with PC or PS4, if you can buy one. All the rest is shit running at 720p or 900p with frame rate problems.

another case where the PS4 version of a game runs and looks better on the PS4, now who would have guessed that was going to happen?

dat Wii U...they managed to make water jaggy...

PC & PS4 seem to be a cut above the rest(PC being the best version)

Don't worry everyone, I have the pics. 

I believe they were going for a Skyward Sword-like art filter for Nintendo fans on the Wii U version :P

..can't think up a joke for the XB1 version.



nice pics. PC and PS4 seems way above rest.

I think the gap will only get bigger.

There is a noticeable difference, only people in denial try and argue there is no difference. A lot higher resolution alone makes a considerable difference.

the sharpening filter is horrible, and 1080p>900p

Rol you win.

I'm done with nearly all 3rd parties.

AC3 I ignored some of the performance stuff as it was easily attributed to rushed porting to make Wii U launch. But this game has had plenty of time to polish a game that is on more powerful hardware and simply should not have these issues.

I recently bought Rayman Legends and its a great experience all around. These will be the only 3rd party games I go after from here on out. It has to be a game that shows some basic effort on Wii U vs straight unoptimized crap from last-gen engine.

AC4 should be on the same engine as PS4/Xbone to correctly handle the basic architecture but at lower resolution. (ps4 1080, xbone 900, wiiu 600~720) That would be acceptable and would have paved way for better end result. This force fitting of a PS360 engine on completely different architectural types is just lazy cost cutting measures. I mean Ubisoft is already using their better engine on Watch_Dogs according to their own information. No reason to not do so here.

I wasn't going to buy AC4 anyways due to the actual game of AC3 (not any Wii U version issues), but now I'm really going to pay attention to Watch_Dogs final product. It better be on next-gen engine.

Are they using a better engine for Watch Dogs? Who the hell knows anymore.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Here. Just look at those god awful WiiU AC4 graphix and that unplayable inconsistent framerate. DF was right, and WiiU looks PS2 quality confirmed/sarcasm
