None of this is less interesting than many survival horror experience I've seen, and none of it is possible on smartglass.

Examples of use exclusive to WiiU seen in ZombiU:

1) The Scanner

2) The Sniper

3) Seeing behind you and in front of you in real time.

4) Seeing two perspectives of the action at once.

 

I'm really curious as to why you think those wont be possible on Smart Glass.  I can think of ways to make all of those work for a cell phone screen easily.  Especially when it's the game system that will be doing all the heavy lifting(ie rendering the seperate perspective etc) not the phone or tablet as is the case for the Wii U.  What am I not understanding or what are you smoking?  

You're not understanding that:

the visuals for a sniper (point 1) and two perspectives at once (points 3 & 4), HD, 30fps is not possible on smartglass. The latency would be too high over the interchatz, imho.

The scanner uses advanced motion technology as well as geolocation sensors to determine where the gamer is facing the tablet in reference to the TV. Not all tablets have this, if any (I'm not talking about GPS), and that means sensor-like input will not be supported.

But I might be smoking something tonight, it's been a shitty day.

My smartphone is nothing special (Mytouch 4g 2 years old) and it doesn't seem to have an issue loading videos in a snap, especially when I'm using my home internet.  That's also while my Roommate is streaming netflix and I'm downloading porn.  Though internet connections vary so it possible the internet isn't sufficient for many.  Though honestly even a second or two of lag isn't going to cripple the experience.  If that were the case no one would have bought a game like bayonetta for PS3. Not to mention it doesn't have to be in HD.  Most phones are as of yet not HD screens.   Maybe not optimal or best experience but definitely possible or plausible. 

I did mention smartphones in my post which seem to have gyro's as default for orientation of the screen and what not.  I would imagine that most tablets have them as well as thehy should be able to auto switch orientation as well but as I don't own one so I can't be for certain.
