Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 1 Comment
Toys “R” Us has listed two new Wii U Packs for France. Cherry, launching on November 27, is priced at €299.99. There’s also the Mango Pack, releasing on December 4 for €249.99.
The price discrepancy could mean that the Cherry pack will come with a game. Super Mario 3D World, maybe?
Watch_Dogs doesn’t force the inclusion of GTA V elements
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 1 Comment
Although Watch_Dogs is an open-world game, the team hasn’t forced the inclusion of similar elements as Grand Theft Auto V, a successful title in the genre. And so just because GTA V has helicopters, it doesn’t mean you’ll be seeing the same vehicle in Ubisoft’s upcoming release.
Creative director Jonathan Morin told VG247:
“When you do a game you always want to make sure that what you put in is to the service of the game. I think GTA has a great fantasy and everything they put in it reinforces that fantasy. What you don’t to do is start copying or start feeling the pressure of your neighbour like, ‘Oh my god we need a chopper.’”
It’s true that some elements will carry over. Cars, for instance, are obviously necessary. However, Morin says Watch_Dogs’ focus is placed on hacking at the end of the day.
