So it actually looks pretty incredible. Well beyond the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions. Ubisoft seems to be a wizard with the Wii U.

Show a comparison since you're making that claim. I doubt it looks worse than those versions though.

I'm still waiting for Gamefly to send it to me. I'm hoping it runs a lot better than previous titles in the series have performed on the PS3.

Not bad. I wonder what Digitalfoundry's take is on this. If the loading times hold up, I'm getting it on the WiiU.

Also, does the game offer the off-screen play function?

Awesome. Playing AC4 on the bathroom sounds pretty damn appealing.

Honestly, every Wii U game should offer it; it's the best use of the Pad.

It's funny you mention that. It kinda works against each other in a way.

For example, ZombiU makes excellent use of the Gamepad. A port on any other platform would totally kill the game, yet it's impossible to offer off-screen gameplay for a title like that because it combines the gamepad with your TV.

Something like Zelda: WW is entirely possible to play on your gamepad because it only serves for inventory management and your map, which can just be accessed by pressing the inventory button on your controller.

So, like that, utilizing the gamepad to its fullest potential(ZombiU) kinda eliminates being able to play it off-screen because the experience demands both use of the gamepad and your TV.

Yes; it's actually indicative of the bipolar design decisions that have gone into new Nintendo hardware.

For example, on the 3DS, they added in 3D and motion sensors. But to use one, you have to not use the other.

The Wii U is the same way, where they added a ton of great new features, but each feature cancels out another great feature.

You made the wrong choice, while in the city the game runs at sub 20 fps on ps3. it's fine in other places though.

Oh, I wasn't clear with my post. I'm renting it on Wii U, not PS3. I just meant I hope the Wii U version of Black Flag would run better than other AC games have on PS3. AC 3 on PS3 was full of glitches.

AC3 looked better on Wii U when compared to the 360/PS3 versions.

This will be no different.

Nope, that isn't the case at all.

With all four versions of Ubisoft's trilogy-closer out in the wild, the Wii U certainly stands its ground against the PS3 and 360 releases. Besides a broken depth of field effect that crops up during several cut-scenes, the look of the game is nigh on identical in terms of native resolution, texture quality, its shadow rendering method, and environmental detail. Even down to the shimmering of the ambient occlusion effect beneath fields of grass, and the odd dialogue glitches that appear in the other console versions, Nintendo's hardware certainly delivers a very faithful take on the experience.

It's only unfortunate that the frame-rate doesn't quite hold as steady compared to the 360 rendition, being more in the ballpark of the PS3 when chasing down the city streets, and marginally lower during some cut-scenes. This makes it the weakest of the trio in the crucial performance stakes, though they all have issues in achieving a sustained 30FPS where it's needed.

Credit - Digital Foundry

Looks are on par, but the framerate doesn't hold up. Next gen console can't even manage a decisive victory against 8 year old hardware...Yay!

Typical kneejerk reaction from a fanboy. Your post has shit to do with mine, but I'll bite because I'm bored.

Isn't it strange how 360 didn't see any ports of multiplats that looked and ran worse than their last gen counterparts? Despite devs complaining about slow updates to devkits and the entire online infrastructure failing for PS4 and XB1 prior to launch, I still don't see any multiplats looking and running worse. Devs faced with time constraints still manage to make these games look noticeably better. The difference between the 3 consoles mentioned above and Wii-U is that none of them have shit hardware. You might be able to get away with a few game looking worse but all of them? That shit is unheard of. In fact, the last console that had a similar outting was the original wii.

As usual you're talking a bunch of fanboyish nonsense, pretending that "teh powah" and multiplat titles are all that matters. Original games and exclusives are much more important to me. As weak as the Wii was, it was still able to get quite a large library of imaginative and fun games that weren't available on other systems.

Here you go again making System Wars bullshit to be some serious business. Nintentrolls like yourself are constantly going on about power, all while defending Sony and Microsoft and bashing Nintendo. Take a chill pill and stop hating inanimate objects because your hatred and amount of effort you put in to it is just a bit creepy.

When your console's hardware impedes titles from coming over, then it's a problem. As a gamer, I'm interested in games. Since 3rd party software makes up 90+% of any console's library I tend to think of them as important. Fanboys that still put exclusives on a pedestal like their arguing during recess need not apply. Indie developers have produced the most imaginative and original titles last generation. Guess what console saw very few them, Wii. Guess what company seems to be the least concerned with Indie titles, Nintendo. I'm a PC gamer because I'm interested in titles that probably would never see the light of day on consoles. Sony is showing indies love this time around, so they have my attention.

I like how you're telling me to chill out after you quoted me for just pointing out some inaccuracies in another poster's claims. Yeah, I'm the one taking this to seriously. You start steaming over anything remotely negative about Nintendo.

Quite honestly, I think all versions will end up looking very similar. I've been playing the PS3 version and it looks very similar to the PS4 footage they've been showing and rather identical to the footage you've just shown. It's a surprisingly gorgeous game.

You're the only fanboy in this discussion doing the fanboying. And your posts reek of bias and inaccuracies, misleading information and tainted view points.

There's really no reason to go back and forth with you because you'll always refuse to give Nintendo any credit regardless of their position, and will always parrot from the standard forum fanboy bulletpoints handbook of bullshit.

Nintendo has unique, high quality titles that people like myself enjoy from past generations to present, there's no way for you to deny it, so you try to pretend that other systems' having larger libraries somehow negate that. Real gamers are more interested in games than tech specs, tend to buy and enjoy multiple systems and generally refrain from making up lies while judging games and systems they don't own and are not truly familiar with.

Don't forget, you're the one going to the trouble of spinning negative webs about a piece of plastic, and that I'm just defending against that nonsense and hatred.

Again, that makes you the fanboy. Self-reflection is always the hardest facade to break down to see the true self.

Again, that makes you the fanboy. Self-reflection is always the hardest facade to break down to see the true self.

Not seeing how direct quotes from Digital Foundry can be considered any of the following: bias, inaccurate and misleading. I mean, you quoted me because you took offense to what I was posting, right. There's no other possible explanation. AC3 on Wii-U does not look better and actually runs worse. I correct the gentlemen, make a little quip about Wii-U's weak hardware and you blow a gasket. Then attempt to accuse me of being the one who's taking things too seriously. Take a step back and take a look at yourself, man.

I never said Nintendo didn't make unique, high quality titles. I simply stated that indie studios have been at the forefront of games that I would describe as original, imaginative or unique this past generation. There's no denying that wiiware was a barren wasteland compared to the breadth of titles found on pc, xbla or psn. Their have been many reports of games like binding of Issac and super meat boy, either hitting a technical snag(size limit) or Nintendo flat out denying its place on the store due to themes Nintendo deemed questionable. That was last gen, but I'm not seeing any enthusiasm from the indie community over wii-u. Nintendo still doesn't care about 3rd part support or indie developers, so you can see why I don't care about wii-u right now. Without those titles Nintendo has been left trying to shoulder the burden themselves. And judging by their output this year and recent comments this year regarding HD development; it has become quite clear that they're ill equipped for the task.

Lies? No, the wii-u is doing poorly at retail and Nintendo has done a terrible supporting the system with 1 party and 3rd party support. No lies here, buddy.

@MFDOOM1983: A last minute port doesn't perform as well as on Wii U as it does for systems that had the game in long term development? You don't say... :o

Typical kneejerk reaction from a fanboy. Your post has shit to do with mine, but I'll bite because I'm bored.

Isn't it strange how 360 didn't see any ports of multiplats that looked and ran worse than their last gen counterparts? Despite devs complaining about slow updates to devkits and the entire online infrastructure failing for PS4 and XB1 prior to launch, I still don't see any multiplats looking and running worse. Devs faced with time constraints still manage to make these games look noticeably better. The difference between the 3 consoles mentioned above and Wii-U is that none of them have shit hardware. You might be able to get away with a few game looking worse but all of them? That shit is unheard of. In fact, the last console that had a similar outting was the original wii.

As usual you're talking a bunch of fanboyish nonsense, pretending that "teh powah" and multiplat titles are all that matters. Original games and exclusives are much more important to me. As weak as the Wii was, it was still able to get quite a large library of imaginative and fun games that weren't available on other systems.

Here you go again making System Wars bullshit to be some serious business. Nintentrolls like yourself are constantly going on about power, all while defending Sony and Microsoft and bashing Nintendo. Take a chill pill and stop hating inanimate objects because your hatred and amount of effort you put in to it is just a bit creepy.

When your console's hardware impedes titles from coming over, then it's a problem. As a gamer, I'm interested in games. Since 3rd party software makes up 90+% of any console's library I tend to think of them as important. Fanboys that still put exclusives on a pedestal like their arguing during recess need not apply. Indie developers have produced the most imaginative and original titles last generation. Guess what console saw very few them, Wii. Guess what company seems to be the least concerned with Indie titles, Nintendo. I'm a PC gamer because I'm interested in titles that probably would never see the light of day on consoles. Sony is showing indies love this time around, so they have my attention.

I like how you're telling me to chill out after you quoted me for just pointing out some inaccuracies in another poster's claims. Yeah, I'm the one taking this to seriously. You start steaming over anything remotely negative about Nintendo.

You're the only fanboy in this discussion doing the fanboying. And your posts reek of bias and inaccuracies, misleading information and tainted view points.

There's really no reason to go back and forth with you because you'll always refuse to give Nintendo any credit regardless of their position, and will always parrot from the standard forum fanboy bulletpoints handbook of bullshit.

Nintendo has unique, high quality titles that people like myself enjoy from past generations to present, there's no way for you to deny it, so you try to pretend that other systems' having larger libraries somehow negate that. Real gamers are more interested in games than tech specs, tend to buy and enjoy multiple systems and generally refrain from making up lies while judging games and systems they don't own and are not truly familiar with.

Don't forget, you're the one going to the trouble of spinning negative webs about a piece of plastic, and that I'm just defending against that nonsense and hatred.

Again, that makes you the fanboy. Self-reflection is always the hardest facade to break down to see the true self.

Not seeing how direct quotes from Digital Foundry can be considered any of the following: bias, inaccurate and misleading. I mean, you quoted me because you took offense to what I was posting, right. There's no other possible explanation. AC3 on Wii-U does not look better and actually runs worse. I correct the gentlemen, make a little quip about Wii-U's weak hardware and you blow a gasket. Then attempt to accuse me of being the one who's taking things too seriously. Take a step back and take a look at yourself, man.

I never said Nintendo didn't make unique, high quality titles. I simply stated that indie studios have been at the forefront of games that I would describe as original, imaginative or unique this past generation. There's no denying that wiiware was a barren wasteland compared to the breadth of titles found on pc, xbla or psn. Their have been many reports of games like binding of Issac and super meat boy, either hitting a technical snag(size limit) or Nintendo flat out denying its place on the store due to themes Nintendo deemed questionable. That was last gen, but I'm not seeing any enthusiasm from the indie community over wii-u. Nintendo still doesn't care about 3rd part support or indie developers, so you can see why I don't care about wii-u right now. Without those titles Nintendo has been left trying to shoulder the burden themselves. And judging by their output this year and recent comments this year regarding HD development; it has become quite clear that they're ill equipped for the task.

Lies? No, the wii-u is doing poorly at retail and Nintendo has done a terrible supporting the system with 1 party and 3rd party support. No lies here, buddy.

Straight up lies. If you had a Wii U, you could log in to the eShop and see the ever-growing number of indie titles, the same ones you'd see on XBLA and PSN infact. I don't know why you're even talking about indie titles in the first place. As far as third party support goes, I'm seeing CoD Ghosts, ACIV, Batman, Rayman, Injustice, and numerous other third party titles this holiday season on Wii U along with the best new gen exclusive console line up this year, @ a much lower cost, with a better controller, with complete hardware-based backwards compatibility and no yearly online subscription fees.

I'm having a blast with Wii U games right about now, and 2014 is looking very good for games in genres I want to play. I'll also be enjoying a PS4 next year, and PC gaming to go with the handhelds, so I've no need to be hatin' on plastic appliances, dude.

Have a wonderful night.

The console versions look hideous. Can't wait for the PC version.

Looks are on par, but the framerate doesn't hold up. Next gen console can't even manage a decisive victory against 8 year old hardware...Yay!

That's Ubisoft's fault for giving us a rushed port. And before the "hurr durr shouldn't matter next-gen hardware!", they managed to botch the PC version and have it only run on 1 core, making places like the harbor run at 10fps. Also AC4 is a solid port that looks and runs great, so it's obviously whoever did the porting job's fault regarding AC3's issues on Wii-U.

Aside from the general extras and no shimmering AO for the PC version, the gap between all versions is not larger by any means. You're overstating the frame rate drops. It's just like the PS3/360 version, where NPC heavy areas drop the frame rate, which 25FPS at the worst. Everywhere else is a solid 30 with vsync on all 3 platforms. It's the developer's job to make the superior product. You can't just throw code at newer hardware and expect it to magically be superior.

Then you're purposely ignoring the articles. Any time an indie or small studio said good things about the Wii-U, rabid fanboys tried to play it off as if it meant nothing. They're not EA, Activision, ect. Why care about their obviously biased opinion? Nintendo made a deal with Unity to give every Wii-U developer free access to the Pro engine so they don't have to spend the money to acquire that themselves, as well as a wealth of other free tools for developers. You're acting as if every indie title out there needs to be on Wii-U for Nintendo to earn of the status of giving a rats ass about indie developers.

I want to see it compared to the ps4,xbox one version, also see those compared to the pc version. Most multi plats I will buy on pc, it's just interesting to compare across all systems.

Looks great. I'll pick it up on PC though as it's £10 cheaper and looks even better. If I did go for a console version it would have been this one.

@Bigboi500:

Uh, no, Wii-U's e shop had 19 releases this year vs. 55+ on XBLA for example. Even your not so sly attempt to exclude PC from the equation failed to help your cause. Listing 5 games releasing this holiday is noway representative of the amount of 3rd party titles Wii-U missed this year. Hell, Wii-U's 3rd party situation is so dire that you needed to include a rerelease of a game that came out this year just to get to 5. Lets not forget about games like BF4(just releases) and NFS Rivals not making it over.

This endless banter between us has grown tiring. Best to let the consoles speak for themselves in regards to 3rd party/indie support, right?

@ChubbyGuy40: I hope sheep don't plan to use the lazy dev dc this entire generation. When every Wii-u game from 3rd parties is trading blows with its last gen counterparts, then the issue has more to do with the hardware itself rather than lazy devs, imo. Historically speaking Ubisoft titles have been rather poor on PC, but what exactly does this have to do with a console? Especially, when you factor in that Ubi has been Wii-U's biggest 3rd party supporter.

Wii U is pretty much in-between - it's neither of them, not current-gen, maybe closer to current-gen than next-gen.

Doesn't sound like a significantly more powerful console.

Nintendo's take on indie games seems quite similar to 3rd party titles. They talk a big game about how much support they're giving them, then become silent and support seemingly drys up. Fool me onece shame on you, Nintendo...

I really don't like how most sites have excluded WiiU in their game comparisons.

I mean I can understand that no copy for a system means no footage, but the blatant rejection of the WiiU in Gaming Media is outstanding.

I could see how this would make sense if you choose only one console to play all of your games on for an entire gen. Those games are on everything except for the Wii U, though, so no matter what combination you choose, you will still get to play them if you buy the Wii U and one other system. I already have a PC. If I'm going to buy a console, exclusives are the only thing that matters when making the decision on which to purchase. Why on earth would I care whether or not the system will be able to play games that I can already play on the PC?
