They should really make an install option for those with external drives on the Wii U.

Well they could have tested the digital version as well..
By amazing you mean terrible?

I'm not sure how large the install is but the devs probably just assumed no one had enough storage to justify the work (maybe)?

So basically what we expected. A minimum effort port, but still with good results. Can't wait for my WiiU version to arrive in the mail.
????????
Did you only read the first line?
Muddy textures and 20fps gameplay, are those amazing news for WiiU owners?
Compared to the other platforms, yes?
...is that both PS3 and 360 versions hit this midway 30fps target consistently enough to make gameplay feel fluid....

That's not Ubisoft fault. Its Nintendo's fault by not adding this option to the console itself.
Im dying for Nintendo to add this to Wii U. Its ridiculous that they havent.

Sub HD and tearing doesn't sound better. I guess no one should buy this game then. ^^

Hyperbole, game looks fine on consoles. Nothing earthshattering, but hardly "absolute poop".
Wtf at those loading times though, 1:24 is pretty harsh.

hmm...this game just doesn't look that great in general to me, even on pc. i think its just the overall aesthetic/character models.
WiiU has:
+higher rendering resolution
-20fps gameplay
-muddy textures
-long loading times
PS360 have:
-lower rendering resolution
+25-30fps gameplay
+better textures
+significantly shorter loading times
Do you seriously consider the WiiU version to be better than oin other consoles?

You should watch comparison videos. The screen tearing on the ps360 version is so bad it makes you wanna rip your eye balls out of your head.
I don't really get what are they measuring here. When you first start the game there is a succession of intro videos and behind them the game is loading. Between the first skip and the second skip there are like 35 seconds on my DD version. Then after the second skip it takes like 6-7 seconds to game into the game.
some of this consoles have the excuse to be 7-8 years old. Some haven't.

so outside of the offline coop missing wiiu version is acceptable?
Screen tearing is a big thing on PS3 and 360.

"plus similarly sluggish levels of refresh while at the heart of larger shoot-outs."

Now thats hyperbole. Watch these videos.

FPS is not in 20FPS during gameplay.
I don't think it either. As far as I know the frame drops on the Wii U version only occur on the cutscenes. And also Wii U's version is the only one with 0 screen tearing. So...
I guess it is a matter of preference.
And always on v-sync on Wii U.

This really puzzles me also when it comes to engineering of WiiU. Who the hell decided that it's good idea? Probably worst engineered console together with PS3.
" The Wii U version is completely v-synced, incidentally, but the trade-off is that it holds at the 20fps line during direct combat, while the PS3 version is the most stable performer."

I permanently banned my 6 year old daughter from using the PS4 for mistakenly sending grief reports as it's too hard to watch or talk to her
There's nothing to celebrate here, the Wii U was supposed to be a generation ahead of the PS3 / 360, not comparing "better in some areas, worse in others".
No doubt this will yet again be dismissed as yet another "lazy port", I suggest Wii U fans get used to resorting to that, as they are going to see a lot of this for the whole of the generation

They even left the co-op out. I don't thing that helps to say it is a good port.
Yes, that's important. However, it is fairly disappointing that a 2012 has to use some trade-offs to handle ports from 2005 hardware.
No the WiiU version does not have 20fps gameplay. "similarly sluggish levels of refresh while at the heart of larger shoot-outs." It's Splinter Cell, how many times do you think large shout-out happens over the course of the game? The massive screen tearing is way worse than some framedrop here and there. God I hate screen tearing.
