wii u is not a 33 wat machine, not that it changes anything from this (now old) excuse of watt consume. Wii U also showed that it can hold it's own with stuff like X, mario kart 8, bayonetta 2...

None of which are out.

thanks for saying something completely irrelevant. if anything, it makes the wii u games look better, since nintendo exclusives get better with each showing as the release aproaches. the oposite seems to happen with most games from other companies, rarely keeping the same quality of the first "trailers".

Still waiting on the reviews. If it's good, I'll buy the Wii U version. If it's not, I'll find something else to play. PS3 games still look quite good to me so this isn't necessarily bad news....just not good news.

People will compare this game on PS4 to the same game on Wii U and conclude that the Wii U is significantly weaker.

I will compare this game on PS4 to Metal Gear Solid V on PS3 and laugh.

I'm unconvinced; this "in between" line smells like placation to me; I recall them saying the same about AC4. As my sig says, I bet they just toss PS3/360 assets onto Wii U and optimize it just enough to make it (semi) playable, just like AC4, Splinter Cell, etc.

It's certainly different from the old rumor that the game was being made with 4-One assets and ported down primarily.

Being a separate development gives me a bit of hope though.

Trailers are known to decieve quite well...

For him to come forward and say this. This must mean that some people were expecting something different.

I remember a thread where one dude was saying wii u could run FFXV no problem. And now we get this. Honestly no one should be surprised about this unless you are a Nintendo extremist. Wii U owners will sadly continue to get the short end of the stick.

bolded: what does this have to do with the topic? one version of a game being a little closer to ps360 than Xone/ps4 =/= Wii U being unable to run FF 15, wich is only marginally ahead of games we've seen running on Wii U.

We'll allow me to clarify.

It seems people take the Wii U version of Watch_Dogs being on par with the PS3 version as evidence of the weaknesses of the Wii U. I take it as evidence of the weaknesses of the title's developers or development environment.

When I see how good Ground Zeroes looks on PS3, I think the debates about PS4 and XBO games are hilarious. All that extra power and the devs can't take advantage of it at all.
