Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 15 Comments
Watch Dogs will be available on most platforms later this month – except for Wii U. Ubisoft hopes to ship the Nintendo version of the game later this year.
While speaking with Red Bull Games, Watch Dogs creative director Jonathan Morin shared a new status update about the Wii U version of the game. He told the site that Ubisoft is now “fully focused” on finishing the project and the company is “making sure it gets the attention it deserves to make it the best version it can be.”
Morin’s comments in full:
“Right now [the Wii U version is] currently being done, but I’m not directly involved. We wanted to finish all the platforms that we are currently shipping. We needed those guys to get [the shipping versions] finished, and the good news now is that they’re all fully focused on the Wii U version, making sure it gets the attention it deserves to make it the best version it can be.”

Watch Dogs sequel would take less time to develop
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 3 Comments
Watch Dogs has taken multiple years of development to come to fruition. Finally though, the game is almost complete.
Many expect Ubisoft to eventually come out with a sequel to Watch Dogs given the amount of resources put into the current game. But if there is a follow up, it won’t take nearly as much time to develop.
Watch Dogs creative director Jonathan Morin told Eurogamer:
“Right now there is no such thing as a Watch Dogs 2. It’s certainly not going to be the same amount of time if we ever embark on such a journey. A big part of it was defining whatever Watch Dogs is. Once you have that starting point, then what becomes interesting is what players want more of – what comes next?
“Especially with the delay we have just been really concentrating on getting it [the original Watch Dogs] launched. After that we’ll see where it goes – I think Ubisoft is showing more and more that they’re willing to take the time for it to be right.
“I think we’re in a pretty good shape. I certainly like the idea of going deeper in the thematics – the hyperconnectivity and hacking in an entire city, controlling a city, monitoring everyone. There’s stuff we discovered by making Watch Dogs that are interesting to pursue. But it’s up to players. [And] for me right now – it’s vacation.”

Watch Dogs creative director once again says visuals in Wii U version are closer to last-gen
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 48 Comments
Several months ago, Watch Dogs creative director Jonathan Morin stated that the Wii U version of Watch Dogs will offer visuals closer to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 editions as opposed to the PS4/Xbox One releases. Not much has changed since then. Morin recently reiterated to Eurogamer, “Wii U is more towards current-gen… It’s not more towards PS4.”

Ubisoft believes Watch Dogs will be one of this year’s best-selling games
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 13 Comments
Ubisoft has very high expectations for Watch Dogs. With “hugely promising” pre-orders, the company thinks its open-world game will be one of the best-selling titles this year and “one of the best selling new IPs in recent memory”.
Ubisoft’s Wayne Greenwell told MCV:
“Excitement for the product remains incredibly high and gamers are desperate to finally get their hands on the title. This is reflected in our pre-orders which are hugely promising for a new IP and highlights the enthusiasm that has surrounded the product since it was first unveiled to the world.
“With Watch Dogs, Ubisoft is building a new blockbuster brand to stand alongside other top tier triple-A titles and we expect it to be not only one of the best selling new IPs in recent memory, but also one of the best selling titles throughout 2014.”
Ubisoft has significant marketing plans in store for Watch Dogs. This include a tech-focused marketing campaign (such as apps and live streaming technology), along with TV, print and online ads.
