Ubisoft Says All Consoles Are Equal With Wii U Arrival

Assassin’s Creed 3 creative director Alex Hutchinson believes that all consoles are now on an equal footing with the arrival of Wii U. Hutchinson says that consumers will now be able to purchase a version of the game and not worry that they’ve bought the inferior version.

“It’s exciting for me that all consoles for once are the same. Between PC, 360, PS3 and Wii U, they’re the same game. “We’re just showing everyone that everything’s fine. There’s no need to worry. Every platform you buy it on will be great.”

    1. makes sense since the an employee who worked on darksiders 2 said the wii u was garbage with weak graphics that was outdated 7 year barely any power at all system

            1. “Equal footing”.

              I think we can confirm from that alone that the Wii U is a weak piece of crap that you idiots will rush out and wait in line for in the icy cold snow.

              Face it, Wii U is an overclocked 360. If that.

              1. No, he’s talking about the game itself (at this stage) being equal to the PS3 and 360 versions. Once the developers get to grip with the Wii U more, they’ll take advantage of what is a more powerful console.

      1. i really dont get how the developers of darksiders 2 could even say anything about the power of a system, when they barely even use whats available to them right now. i mean i have darksiders 2 and i love it, but the graphics arent even adjustable, and for some odd reason when you go to the loot menu, death is all blurry and low res. so yeah im not buying the guys claim that the wii u is only as powerful as the 360, when they dont even use all of the 360’s capabilities.

          1. I like Nintendo because people like you don’t and I don’t want to be anything like people like you. If people like you like Nintendo then I don’t.

        1. dont be silly. the next gen xbox playstation will be more powerfull. not overly or anything worth purchasing over this gen already.

    1. Come on… He is talking about the games that will launch now… The 360 wasn’t excatly god’s gift to humanity when it was released eighter… Games are usually adapted for the weakest console it is released to when it comes to consoles which is the reason why the PS3 games looks so similar to the 360 games.

  1. Oh, that’s what you’re telling 360 owners? :P

    Assassin’s Creed III Version Advantages:
    PC: Customizable graphics options
    Wii U: 60fps 1080p, GamePad controls
    PS3: Included extra hour-long mission(s), compatibility with Vita game
    360: …

      1. wiiis garbage and should be last place if only the ninbraintard morons wouldnt buy every thing with shitendo plastered on it hey theres my caca with shitendo plastered on it and some gaytendo fan bought it at ebay

          1. funny enough the avgn shitpickle and southpark mr poo sold quite well. btw ive been out trolling avgn cheetahmen scandal lol some guy named archfeind and irate provided great lulz you guys should check it out if ya need video titles let me know. ya should check out some troll called wrestlingjesus who did vids andavgn fanboys lmfao

              1. shitpickle is an avgn mascot plushy that sold well and well its shit yet avgn fantards bought it like the buy the plague(nintendo)

    1. Nothing has confirmed 1080p and 60fps on the Wii U version. Ubisoft and the whole console market would be booming if such a thing happened.

      It’s confirmed to be 30 fps from Digital Foundry, and I doubt it’ll even be native 1080p.

    1. none taken as xbox 720 dev kits are already being workedon meaning wii us getting nothing but old ports since its easy to port garbage quick to a weak system. developers are already focusing attention on the 720 but if ya lucky theyll downscale the graphics so thAt wii u will get 720 ports but remember microsoft gets first everything including exclusives and dlc. wii us already obsolete joke. its wii but worse sinceitsoutdared and microsoft confirmed dev kits are the future of gaming

        1. yeah that “money” theyre stealing is being used to get microsoft gamers first exclusives on dlc,commeercials,exclusive characters,first demos and into future technologyat an affordable price like the windows 8 powered smartgoass yes microsoft is using that money to get gans deals,exclusives and an untouched online gaming experiance that iwata san envied and said he couldnt replicate yep microsoft are monsters

          1. Microsoft make you pay for online. That money goes towards your early dlc which you also have to pay for. You fail!

            1. but you get early dlc that the rest of gamers wait 6 to 12 months while we play in the future they play in the past. widows 8 smartglass bitches and smartglass will be avaliable in iphone 5 and ipad 4

                1. yeah but unlike upad smartglass will have the power of iphone 5 meaning constant upgrades and patches ever evolving to improve the rich gaming experiance btw iphones and ipads upgrade every year and people buy can the upad upgrade every year nope its already OBSOLEATE that and iphone ipads have accessories and buttons and will function wirelessly with the ouyas upcoming control with touchscreen HOLY SHIT

  2. All the versions of AC 3 will never be a water down versions, but all the same. All versions have something to tell them apart.
    PC: Customizable graphics options
    Wii U: 60fps 1080p, GamePad controls [i am getting this version(Wii U) ]
    PS3: Included extra hour-long mission(s), compatibility with Vita game
    360: nothing announced

    1. Nice copying pasting what an idiot said. Like I said before, Assassin’s Creed 3 is not fucking 1080p and 60fps on the Wii U.

    1. Paying for a 500 – 700 USD console? -> Nope.
      Few people will buy it -> Developers won’t make good games.
      No good games -> Early death.

      If you’re so into graphics and power, get a gaming PC.

        1. “screwed bra smartglass will destroy upad”
          You called him ‘bra’, you have no idea what your talking about for starters.
          And Smartglass is a bunch of fuck, you can’t compare a last minute add on to a full controller that the whole system is built around

      1. Atleast we have better exclusives than ur recycled mario shovelware and that gay zelda rehash .. so lack of creativity ?? lol fail ..

          1. Even if the PS3 is my favorite console of this gen, just 2% ahead the Wii, the PS3 didn’t have the same impact as the pS1 and PS2. No Jak and Daxter, Kingdom Hearts and Tekken/ Final Fantasy going multi plats really hurt the PS3. Heck, MGS may go multi plat next gen!

          2. now i know your lying hmm shooters like um
            marvel vs capcom3
            marvel origins
            backto the future
            jurassic park
            metal gear
            grand theft auto four AND FIVE
            red dead revolver
            marvel legends
            marvel vs capcom origins
            assassin creed
            need forspeed
            meatboy

            ps2 titles
            utube
            netflix
            hulu plus
            facebook
            pinball hall of fame
            and so forth besides i wii had cod that outsold metriod prime and other m and a couple of other nintendo firsf party. also i find it funny that gamers bitch about 1st shooteryet buythem and not support companies that try to branch out nope instead ya bitch about dlc and stufff moron new ips take time and money smh

          3. Majority of the exclusives are shooters? You really want to get embarrassed when I show you up for that stupidity?

            Do you really want to? Because you clearly don’t know shit.

      1. keep dreaming ? wen the 720 comes out it will blow the wiiu away and the wii u will end up like the wii coz nintendo likes being stuck in the past ..microsoft and sony are the future

        1. Hahaha yeah right because they’re going to lose money on their consoles because that’s how much they love their fans they couldn’t let their eyes bleed from hideous current gen graphics could they? They just care for their fans so much that they’d lose money for them!

    2. Not in this economy it wont. The Wii U won’t be too expensive and will most likely hit down well with its price, whereas people cant afford to hand out excessive amounts ($400+) for a games console, let alone the games, especially in such a crappy economy.

      1. yeah why would peoplewho bought GARBAGE like wii spend lets say $300 on wii u when ps3 and xbox are going to becheaper and xbox got smartglass that evolves and can wireless connect with the upcoming 99 bucks ouya huh why in this economy should abuy an 7 yr old xbox wii u what for a gimmick only moron fanboy tool retard asswipes would waste money but than again prove me wrong nintendo fanboys prove me wrong

        1. Dude, within a few months of the Wii U is released, the other two consoles will begin to lose support and the Wii U’s support will only grow. As soon as the PS4 and Nextbox are announced, the PS3 and 360 will lose even more support.

          All of that said, it’s only a prediction, basing it on the past of consoles.

        1. Its just rumours for now, but developers keep saying the Xbox 720 is only 20% more powerful and other rumours suggest the same. Which if they want it to be $300 (doubt it), it wont be much more powerful.
          Sony pretty much said the ps4 is a good few years off, and they still want to keep that 10 year life cycle, so 2015, late 2014 sounds about right to me.

  3. The Wii U can do everything the others can do gameplay-wise. And it’s not even breaking a sweat yet. This is only the beginning. The Wii U hasn’t even showed 20% of what it can do, according to Reggie. Leave luck to heaven.

      1. Fat, maybe but it’s propably muscles which he needs to have his body ready at all times. (watch when he was weighted with Wii Fit @ E3 some years ago) Liar, not really. He promised America Xenoblade and America was given Xenoblade.

            1. Hi Firesplitter,

              Reggie here. Dont worry. I will play smash bros with Miyamoto as DONKEY KONG AND smash HIM!.

              Reggie

              1. I hope he is not a coward and uses Meta Knight then… Because if he does it is your name that will be taken :/

    1. Exactly. Im glad other people pay attention. Its doing graphics BETTER than the 360/ps3 at the begining, that theyre doing towards the end. Natural “evolution” of the consoles capabilities and developers getting kire and more use to the system, and nintendo sending out updates dev kits as well doesnt make me worry at all about the WiiU.
      Besides, look at a game like Dead Space 2, The Last of Us, that Zelda tech demo. Why do we need better graphics? Its not like the N64 days, or even the ps2 days. Games are not restricted by hardware anymore, everything that people do from now on is just detail. Games wont be bigger because they require more memory and all next gen uses 25GB (dual layered 50GB disks), although the WiiU will. All these delusional people thining graphics are better because Epic said so. Ermm, Epic will get money for it, of course they’ll say it. The better the engine, the more money they’ll get.
      Graphics are the true gimmick of gaming

      1. That last sentence is the truest thing I’ve ever heard on the internet. It really is. People just can’t get enough of graphics and it’s got to the point where people actually care about it more than the game itself

        1. Its a gimmick, pure and simple. Its not like the other generations where graphics were a natural progression, due to advancements in technology. We can make large beautiful environments filled with objects, facial expressions, real human animations, story, great soundtrack, we have the ability to be full creative because of graphics, nothing limits us graphically, its just extra detail. The only limitations we have are lack of creativity, and lack of gameplay innovations.

          1. Hey dragon,

            Reggie here. So are you saying wiiU is a gimmick since we focus on gameplay but with added HD visuals. Didn’t you like the bird demo or the zelda demo?

      2. I love that last sentence “Graphics are the true gimmick of gaming.” So true. I know I’m not buying the Wii U because of graphics. I’m excited about that controller and what it’ll be able to do for gaming.

        Nintendo is reborn. The Wii was the NES, and the Wii U is the SNES. Classics like Ninja Gaiden are coming back, Darksiders 2, Mass Effect 3 etc. There’s something for everyone on Wii U. Even Aeolus and Ness are going to get a Wii U day one. If they didn’t care about it they would be here all the time. They’re looking forward to it just as much as we are.

        1. I like the Wii more than the N64 and GameCube actually. Better Nintendo exclusives and actually some 3rd party series ( Monster Hunter, TvC, Red Steel, No More Heroes, etc..)

          1. LOL! That’s where my analogy starts to fall apart. But I don’t think an N64 situation would happen to Nintendo again. They know how to handle themselves in that situation now.

      3. Graphics are the true gimmick of gaming? CONFIRMED YOU’RE A FUCKING IDIOT.

        You think graphics are fucking gimmick? What if graphics never evolved? You like those pong graphics in everything? You think series like Uncharted, Starfox/DKC on the SNES, and a heap of other franchises would be anywhere nearly as successful if they looked like utter dogshit instead? You think people are going to keep buying nearly as much consoles if graphics were never the leaps they were in generations?

        NO.

        Graphics IMMERSE the experience. How does something that grip your attention and keeps the experience breath taking is a gimmick is beyond me, but you are by far the most stupid, mindless, pathetic excuse of a gamer to say such horseshit I’ve ever seen in my life, if I’m not mistaken, you’re also quite a hipster because you talk down on franchises you know are good and complain about them being 5 hours.

        Tl;dr: you’re a fake gamer, you’re a casual, you’re a Nintendrone. The PC master race doesn’t like your kind. Step the fuck out.

      1. Sup “Sup”

        Reggie here. New Super Mario Bros 2 will be available on the eShop which will be more expensive than retail. If you search on google you can find an article saying that it is ridiculous that the game is more expensive than retail.

        Dont listen to BowserKoopa, he is one of Nintendo’s biggest baddies. So swing your arms from side to side and COME ON AND DO THE SUPER MARIO!

        Reggie

          1. Hi BowserKoopa,

            Reggie here. Wario, Smithy Tatanga (super mario land) all send you their regards :)

            Yours Truly,

            Reggie

  4. Equal in terms of respect from third-party devs, you mean.
    They wouldn’t touch the Wii for triple-A titles in many cases, but the Wii U can more than handle whatever they wanna do with it.
    It’ll be a slow start until they’ve gotten used to it, though. That’s true of all consoles in the beginning

  5. Hey Nintendo Fans,

    Reggie here. I hope you all enjoy these wonderful games we are bringing to the new console. Plenty more to come especially from secret third party publishers that we cannot reveal yet.

    A new Nintendo direct directed at wiiU is coming in 3 weeks time. Stay tuned then and thanks for being the best fans.

    Yours truly,

    Reggie

      1. Hi BowserKoopa,

        Reggie here. Why are you on here? New super mario bros 2 is out tomorrow. Go and kidnap Peach.

        Yours truly,

        Reggie

          1. Hi Shinobi,

            Reggie here. You’re right. Tomorrow is the European release of NSMB2. Have fun!

            Yours truly,

            Reggie

      1. Hi Shinobi,

        Reggie here. Shouldn’t you be fighting people on Ninja Gaiden 3? Quick before TGS comes along!

        Yours truly,

        Reggie

  6. Hah, even Ubisoft says that the WiiU is even with current gen… Really interesting.
    And you fanboys don’t need to make up any excuses or some shit. Ubisoft developed games for the WiiU after all, so there’s no point in denying it. You can’t know the WiiU better than people who developed for it and exactly know about its inside, can you?
    Looks like we’re going to have another Wii, with other companies being far ahead, specs-wise, with their Next-Gen systems of Nintendo once again.

      1. At least they’re worth it. I payed 400€ (nearly 500$) for one of my consoles (no, not for my Wii) and I never felt the slightest bit of regret for doing so because it simply was worth every single Euro I payed for it. And I highly doubt that I would have felt any regret if I would have payed 599$ neither. AND I would be ready to that much again if it really would be worth the money.

      1. Quote: “Assassin’s Creed 3 creative director Alex Hutchinson believes that all consoles are now on an equal footing with the arrival of Wii U.”
        He says consoles, so he obviously means “games”. Makes sense.

    1. Hey Anon.

      Reggie here. You are right but Specs dont matter. Gameplay does. WiiU is going to be an essential purchase for Nintendo’s greatest fans who missed out on games from well respected publishers.

      Yours truly,

      Reggie

      1. Gameplay matters? So explain why the Wii had averaged the worst console game reviews in this generation with very few good titles that can hold their own against superior genres on the other platforms.

    2. ur wrong ass whole if u could actually understand what they are saying then maybe u and ur queer friends would stfu

      1. I really tried to take your opinion serious, but I failed to do so because I couldn’t finish reading your comment due to the fact that I was laughing my fucking arse off at your ridiculous way of writing “arse hole”.

  7. Bowserkoopa where did get info for the price for new super mario bros 2 because i looked up and all it shows is new super mario bros 2 price for eshop but for the uk, please tell me where did you get info for the price for new super mario bros 2.

        1. well sorry, im pretty sure thats for all regions since here in australia its like that, if not sorry but im pretty sure all regions would have the same as retail price

  10. Yeah, the 360 isn’t the best console if you are looking to play some great games. I’m kinda regretting buying it instead of PS3 actually, because Halo was the only thing worth playing on it to be honest.

    But I still liked games like Forza, Nuts and Bolts (I thought that game was fun, innovative and hard as shit, which is my kind of game, so before you guys bash me because all the reviewers of the game said bad stuff, it’s because they wanted it to be based on BK’s original roots), Fable wasn’t all that fun, Perfect Dark Zero was so-so, Crackdown was kind of fun and I haven’t had the opportunity to play Gears of War, but it looked fun.

    That’s basically all the worth-mentioning games that the 360 has and it can’t beat the other consoles, especially not PS3. Sony releases like a at least a new first-party game of their famous franchises each year on the PS3. They have Ratchet & Clank, Sly Cooper, Jak & Daxter, God of War, Killzone, Resistance, Twisted Metal, Fat Princess, inFamous, LittleBigPlanet, Uncharted, Modnation Racers, WipeOut, Gran Turismo and the coming Playstation All-Stars Battle and LittleBigPlanet Karting as well as many others.

    Nintendo has Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Metroid, StarFox, F-Zero, Pikmin, Super Smash Bros, Mario Kart, Animal Crossing, Donkey Kong, Kid Icarus, Ice Climbers, Fire Emblem, Pokémon, Kirby, Earthbound and more franchises. Sadly, many of those franchises haven’t been on the Wii at all and Nintendo has totally neglected the Wii right now with more first-party titles.

    I don’t know about you guys, but being a PS3 owner right now is probably the best time than ever. 360 will still get Halo 4, next Gears of War, Forza, Fable games etc (the Fable game doesn’t look that exciting since it’s for Kinect) and Wii isn’t getting anything, but a PS3 owner can expect a new Ratchet and Clank game, a new Sly Cooper game, a new God of War game, LittleBigPlanet Karting as well as Playstation All-Stars Battle for the coming six months. I don’t know why I neglected Sony so much, since they are supporting their consoles more than any other company (they are even going to release collections of past games to those who missed out on the early titles that they had on PS2/PS3). For me, the only consoles that I need to fulfill my gaming needs are the Wii with its unique franchises as well as PS3 with its vast collection of different genre games. The 360 is just a fill-in.

    1. yeah the reasonxbox had shitty titles and mostly halo was because of the lack of disk space compared to sonys bluray but in the beggining though xbox had more exclusives than sony did. this time however xbox isgetting blu ray the only way sony will repeat the dominance of exclusive like this gen over xbox is if they put in their new purple ray disk thats suppose to surpass bluray but seeing how they are financial hole i doubt theyll add the purple ray unless they want to launch the console at an expensive price tag

  11. your a fucking jackass if u think wii u is just a 360 with som new parts gtfo losers. you know nothing about tech whatsoever. wii u is atleast 4 times e power of ps3 from normal devs actually working with and and not just some stupid asswhole who doesnt like the thing and is giving it a bad rap. they are saying all the versions of thier games are on equal footing now because the wii u is easily powerful enough to handle a game made for a weak hd console made light years ago. if aome of u idiots say wii u is weak than you would have to say the same for pc because thats mentioned here too.
    jesus christ , some of the dick heads on is site amaze me.

    1. 4 times as powerful?

      You know this how? Oh, you have the official specs as to processor speed, memory, EDRAM, Video Card Model number and specs?

      Oh that’s right. You don’t. Because they only released general info, not specific details on the specs. Good job, butt-hurt fanboy.

  12. i played batman for the wii u and it looked worst than the xbox 360 version and i played zombiU today and it looked bad really bad but it can be that it was on early dev kids becauce there was only a black box no wiiU

      1. Yes i did i played first Batman than zombiU and at the end rayman legends and rayman was the best looking of the 3
