      1. Supposed you got your favourite Zelda game like Majora’s Mask or Ocarina of Time and you know every single secret in that game. You beat it so many times that you got bored of it. But this game is so amazing that you wish many other games were like this. Unfortunately you may not found a game yet and even the new Zelda is not the game you wanted.

        So adding new costumes, quests, dungeons, items, and etc to make the game feel a bit fresh. After all it is your favourite Zelda game.

        It is just a penny for my thought.

    1. Me too. I actually enjoyed AC3 (my first and only AC game,) but I can’t seem to bring myself to finish it.

      That said, I’m a huge fan of Pirates (Especially Werewolf Pirates), so it does appeal to me from that angle.

      I just want X already. ;)

  1. I will be curious to see the visual difference, if perceptible, between the Wii U version and PS4 and XBONE ones. Perhaps processing will be a bottleneck, but if Nintendo could increase the cpu frequency of the Wii U, maybe it could compete much better with these two guys in terms of processing.

    1. I think all of those effects are more reliant on the GPU. I see allot of particle effects which is something the Wii U excels at.

      But who knows what build they based it on since it is a PowerPC machine.

    1. Does you old ass PS3 or xbox360 have a GPGPU? WiiU can handle CryEngine genesis. It will be Ubisoft’s lack of programming skills if this sucks on WiiU :).

      1. Whats the point of GPGPU if the CPU in Wii U is so damn underpowered (its much much much worse than the PS4/X1 CPU). hahha Ubisoft lacking programming skills, says who? FACE THE FACTS!

        Wii U is weak (slightly better than PS3/360), the Wii U CPU is even weaker than the Xbox360 CPU but WIi U has more RAM (1GB for games) and a better CPU based on HD 4650/4670 (low end DX 10 GPU).

    1. 1080P/60 fps is the WiiU. It supports cryteks CryEngine Genesis, a better engine than what Ubisoft are using for Assasins creed IV by 2 generations. So if Assassins creed IV sucks on WiiU, it is Ubisoft’s Bathesda level programmers to blame. WiiU is next gen baby!

      1. Indeed…

        And as always, why would visuals make a game funnier?…

        Silly Xbots and Sonyans…

        They only want better visuals with the same dull repeated gameplay mechanics in all their games…

      2. hahah even the Xbox360 and PS3 support the new CryEngine. LOL 1080p/60 you obiviously dont know what that means.

        AC4 with next gen visuals (maxed out), even the PC would have trouble with that at 1080p and 60 FPS. The whole Wii U (GPU, CPU) are LOW END HARDWARE. FACE TEH FACTS KID!

    2. Next Gen means a group of individuals(in this case it means consoles) that are living/coexisting in a certain period of time. Wii U is next gen, along with XBOX One and PS4. It’s not all about specs.

      1. Sadly, the primitive minds of the Anti-Nintendo forces can still not comprehend that and so recycles their same outdated comments over and over again…

  2. The problem with Ubi soft games is there all style over substance. Lovely to look at but atrotious gameplay. Assasins creed 3 openworld with nothing to do I got bored after 3 playthroughs. They should make a film instead.
