1UP: Wii U version of Mass Effect 3 has technical issues


Wii U version of Mass Effect 3


This is disappointing. The staff of 1UP have been playing the Wii U version of Mass Effect 3 and have written a blog post revealing it has serious technical issues. The frame rate is said to be sub-par, the animation is a little rough, and the recorded dialogue isn't quite right.

1UP: Without question, it has a few issues. This version of ME3 seems a lot less visually stable than, say, the Xbox 360 version — the frame rate is choppier, the animation seems rougher. The audio suffers, too; while the music and sound effects have come over fine, all the dialogue has a hollow, echoing quality to it. The GamePad’s analog sticks aren’t as comfortable as the 360′s, and the placement of the face buttons relative to the right stick made me continually miss the melee and reload buttons. My headshot ratio has dropped precipitously. It’s tragic.

The game was ported by rookie developer Straight Right studios rather than the original developer BioWare. While some might speculate that Straight Right wasn't up to the task, the lack of polish could also be due to the fact they were determined to have it ready at launch and weren't able to fine tune everything. Here's hoping Batman: Arkham City and the other third-party ports turn out better.
