No Far Cry 3 on Wii U

People are expecting developers to stop what they're doing and pick up a new platform, which requires more money and resources, to port a game that they've been working on for several years in time for the system's launch(or near launch) far too often. This is NOT something everyone can do, especially with hardware they have little experience with. If it were my project, that was nearly finished, I wouldn't bother taking the risk, money, and manpower to port the game over when focus could remain on making the game as good as it possibly can be on the currently planned platforms. The fact that Wii U is missing this game doesn't really mean anything.

wii u is getting skiped over a lot kinda scary

http://www.petitionbuzz.com/petitions/farcry3onwiiu Thats for the petition come on people sign the petition instead of complaing on gamespot.

We can do this and then maybe if we have enough people sign for the petitiob they will listen to our public demand. After all it is Nintendo who needs the game and this could give the wiiu a momentum where it gathers alot of public attention and will bring consumers to the new console. We can help Nintendo and ourselves by starting a petition. Any one with me?

Lets start a petition for far cry 3 on wiiu then anyone up for this?

And the mass exodus continues......... What game wil be next, place your bets here.

Well, the other Far Cry game on Wii didn't do so well.

So for years now we keep hearing from PS3 owners that PS3 has many years of life in it and we don't need next generation consoles and yet when the Wii U comes out, they attack it for not being as powerful as they wanted it to be (but of course they don't even know the official specs when making these comments). It sounds like if the Wii U was 3-4x or 200x more powerful than PS3/360, the same people were never interested in it in the first place.

@Iffy350 The Wii is old but Wii U is a brand new console. The developer just said the reason they didn't develop it is because the Wii U wasn't considered but that doesn't mean it can't run this game. The GPU in Wii U is RV770, that's about 3.5-4x as powerful as the one in Xbox360/PS3.

By your logic, Dark Souls can't run on the PC because PC is a relic. Until PC gamers petitioned for it, it was never going to come to the PC because the developer never considered PC as a gaming platform for Dark Souls during its development. Just sayin'.

But they apparently have enough time to bring garbage like Just Dance 4, Your Shape 2013, & Sports Connection while awesome games like Far Cry 3, Splinter Cell: Blacklist (watch the stealth trailer), Watch Dogs, Furious 4, & Rainbow 6: Patriots can't come because "its not the main development platform" (ironic that Just Dance 4 & Your Shape 2013 are multiplatform and are still coming to Wii U). Eat a large one Ubisoft, the only Wii U games of yours that I'm buying are Assassin's Creed III & ZombiU.

and this is news because...................

What would Dora the Explorer comment on this article..?

well... That is all I can say.

They've provided the reason why it's not coming out. I don't see the big deal here.

LOLOL Every week some new Dev says no support for WiiU WiiU, and every week nintendo fanboys say " Oh well I didn't want that game anyway" ROFL whatever stops the tears fanboys, whatever stops the tears. Keep using that excuse to make yourselves feel better that your not getting some pretty awesome games like skyrim or fallout or farcry and lots more ROFL!!!!

THIS JUST IN!

Far Cry 3 not planned for PS4 or Xbox720!!!!

Resident Evil 6 will more than likely appear on the Wii U next year at some point, this is Capcom we're talking about.

Good

@alrepairs

He should change it because it's an insult to cows :P

I think it's pretty much logical as you can't just turn the game you've been scheduled to release on the X,Y,Z platforms to also release on the W platform at the same time on the last moment, the Wii U just received a release date afterall and it's capabilities were only shown recently. Also they didn't said the word "never", they may consider it for a later release or for future releases, as mentioned in the article Ubi already has plenty of titles to release with the new console, so who knows.

"Ubisoft confirms December-dated first-person shooter not slated for Nintendo's new console."

good

Still trying to drag down the Wii U I see. They said there were to plans yet. Not that they will never consider it. It could happen. Especially considering Ubisoft's faith in the Wii U, and backing up Nintendo all throughout the Wii U's launch.

@emptycow @zequex @IcedEarthaholic

You're embarrassing to both Nintendo and Non Nintendo Fans alike.

Your grammar has no weight...from your ridiculous misspelling, unconvincing claims with only trolls to agree with you, to simple debating concepts...just fucking dumb LOL...it's actually painful to read what you're saying...it never makes any sense. What's worse is your annual return of the same article to share more of your stupidity. I'm trying to increase my IQ, not lose it by experiencing your smeared jargon of nonsense.

"emptycow" suits you well. There's nothing going on in that brain of yours. Just to let you know, dumb people unwilling to learn are immediately acquitted of their ideas.

I was looking forward to that game. I have an XBOX 360, but I'd rather have it for the WiiU

@emptycow

Do us all a favor and bury yourself somewhere deep, or move somewhere with no internet connection because no matter what FACTS we give you, you refuse to see the truth, only what your tiny little blinded mind has already set in stone.

Many of the games you listed have been in development for a long time and I have no doubt when the next XBox and Playstation come out, any game that has been in long development will skip those initially.

Oh and GTA 5 is rumored to be coming to the Wii U, whether that's true or not remains to be seen.

I'd pull up the 50 games coming out for the Wii U to prove that your "95% of the games are ports" statement is highly false but I know you're just going to ignore it anyways.

@emptycow

I love how you're insulting Ubisoft saying their mascot and a game that clearly has a lot of love and time put into it only worth $10. It just shows what a blinded ignorant idiot you are and the gaming community honestly doesn't need people like you if all you care about are AAA titles and nothing else.

@zequex @emptycow @alrepairs

Oh no, not $500, more like $900 because we wouldn't want Sony and Microsoft to pull out of the console business because they had to sell their consoles at a heavy loss again would we?

@emptycow @zequex @alrepairs Please send a picture of your face showing the inevitable dissapointment then. Can't wait!

Here's a few reasons why

I also heard Ever since the Nintendo 64 releaced they announced there would be "only family-friendly-gaming" (and COD-followers)

@emptycow @IcedEarthaholic Dear Empty Cow,

Your posts are getting tiresome. If you want to participate in a civil discussion, I would ask you use a little decorum.

Regarding your post, I will answer it point for point.

"no they wont " - This is simply an unfounded statement. You have no way of claiming that knowledge.

"xbox 720 will be out already" - Again, unfounded. We know the XBox720 is planned for next year but we don't know more than that. Also a year of exclusives for the Wii U can go a long way.

"so i see the wiiu becoming just another gamecube" - The Gamecube was a great system. It did lack third party support mostly due to it's disc capacity and lack of online. Both these things are corrected on the Wii U.

"nintendo lost there hold along time ago" - On what? Obviously not on marketing, sales and creative gaming hardware. Also their games were almost all critically acclaimed.

"the 80% of the people who got a wii never got games for it" - Where did you pull that statistic from? A lot of people who bought the Wii had plenty of games, just different ones than the PS3 and X360.

"3rd party dev will not support wiiu" - This is simply a falsehood. It hasn't been launched and already has very good 3rd party support.
