Well its sort of where the Wii-U should be at, but its always nice to know that developers aren't just porting over current gen versions and are actually optimizing for the Wii-U. Also the Wii-U daily article is actually wrong. The guy actually compares it to the PC, and doesn't mention Xbox One or PS4. Here's the direct quote,

"If you pump the PC to its maximum there are things in the filtering and rendering that I think are possible on high-end PCs that are pretty amazing. Wii U is pretty much in-between its neither of them, not current-gen, maybe closer to current-gen than next-gen."

So there you have it. Its too bad there's still no Wii-U gameplay, but hopefully that releases sooner rather than later. I'm also interested in the gamepad features, I'm hoping for some good gamepad integration, Ubisoft did emphasize gamepad features earlier. I guess we'll find out eventually. Are you guys interested in Watch Dogs for Wii-U?

Wii U seems to have the best controls for this kind of game so yes for this system.

Splinter Cell: Blacklist is  rather pretty, currently playing that on my Wii U at the moment. Especially interesting if you look at the watts of power used to render it, its like only 33watts of usage during load (apparently the wii U can pull up to 75 watts......but dunno how close it needs to hit that). I would like a few more nicer textures here and there but otherwise its a sexy beast

It's never been confirmed that the next-gen versions are 720p.  When asked what the resolution of the next-gen versions are, the creative director said he's not sure.  This caused some people on Gamespot to jump to the conclusion that it's 720p.

 

Although he did confirm the frame rate, Morin said he is not sure if the game's native resolution on the Xbox One and PS4 is 720p or 1080p.Gamespot

Not a chance it's going to be between current and next gen. It's power is no better than 360 or PS3 so how could it possibly be better?

If Watch_Dogs gets solid reviews I'll be getting it for my Wii U. Could be a lot of fun posting screenshots on Miiverse.

This is a poor reply. The Wii U is significantly stronger than the ps3 or 360 and Ubisoft have said that the next gen version has been modified and is coming to Wii U. Their description sounded like they were very easily able to port the next gen version to Wii U, which implies that it'll simply be at a lower resolution or possibly a smaller draw distance. They then went on to say that they had only just then started working on making the ps360 version and said it would be far a far inferior version. Your comment suggests you know nothing about the power of a system.

I want to see what this looks like before I dish out the full price on this game. I'm sure it will look great but I want to see gameplay before I make my purchase of this version.

Wii U should be in between these generations. If Nintendo made a platform that allowed for this to normally happen then I wouldnt have as many problems with them intentionally holding back hardware and new gaming features.

It sounds about right.

I am looking forward to seeing what Ubisoft will pull off with the Gamepad.

Same goes for AC4, they say.

I'm interested to see if it's true but i'm not playing that crap.
