Topic: ZombiU trailer is disturbing.

I don't think so, the Wii U tablet seems to be able to do a hell of a lot more intensive stuff on the second screen while doing something different and equally as complex on the primary screen. I think there's a bigger gap between what the Wii U can do and the other "tablet" systems can do than you'd think when looking at it trivially. Just for a start you don't see any big PS3 games being played remotely on the Vita and the Halo 3 + SmartGlass stuffs didn't look anymore complicated than basic input wrapped inside a webpage.

More likely they'd have to either water down the tablet stuffs significantly to get it to work or just take it out of the game if they wanted to port it.

Watchdogs is getting smartglass content and doesn't have a wii u version.

And tablets not being able to run the Watchdogs UI lol.

Tablets are more powerful with the wii so I'm sure they could run this.

Ubisoft said that they MIGHT bring Watchdogs to the Wii U crosses fingers

The tablet isn't really doing anything, you could use the DS and it'd work pretty much just as well. Let me put it this way... ideas that should work on all three:

• Showing a map on a second screen while you play
• simple interface with touch and motion controls
• showing you web content related to the game being played
• TV remote control stuffs (you can do that with a tablet/phone already)

Ideas that will work on the PS3/Vita and Wii U:

• traditional game controls with extra onscreen controls
• Playing less intense games (read: VC) while your console is turned off

Stuff that will probably only work on Wii U:

• Anything where there's a full game being rendered on both scr...
• Anything where there's a full retail game being shown on the second screen

In an interview with IGN, Ubisoft said they'll consider bringing ZombiU to PS3 and 360, using Vita and "SmartGlass" respectively, if it does well enough on The 'U.

two things
1) Ubisoft says that about everything
2) Besides the sniper bit there wasn't much in there that is really that intense. PSVita + PS3 will probably work and technically so should 360 + SmartGlass.... the problem with the latter is that it's not really going to work gameplay wise. Tablets don't have buttons and 360 controllers don't have motion control or touch screens.

@skywake

Yeah, that's the problem with Smartglass. You'll need to use the tablet (on your lap?) and 360 controller. So, no, Smartglass cannot fully replicate the WiiU experience the same way and certainly not any better. Vita on the other hand...

I never said I wanted it to be true BTW (it's definately built for The 'U), I just figured that the comment was worth bringing up.

In an interview with IGN, Ubisoft said they'll consider bringing Watch Dogs to Wii U.

If they had that confirmed and it was in the sizzle reel I'd be waiting in the rain at the Wii U launch to get one
