Battlefield 3 is one of the most anticipated upcoming games this year, and was showcased for the Wii U at E3 this summer. According to Patrick Liu, developer at DICE, they definitely see the potential of the Wii U, but are looking for a “breakthrough idea” first. Liu said in a recent interview with the Official Nintendo Magazine:

 

“We definitely see potential in the Wii U, but I wish I had the breakthrough idea for how to exploit the new controller. We’re definitely looking into what kind of new stuff we can do with Wii U.”

We previously reported that DICE developers still haven’t gone to work on a Wii U version of Battlefield 3, opting instead to use all their resources on finishing the game for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. According to the report, development on Battlefield 3 won’t start until mid-2012, with a release date sometime in 2013.

There's always potential for new consoles. It's a word that gets thrown around too much.

First off I like the report as all they are concerned with is how to specialize the controller... nothing about limiting issues. However, I don't see why I'd want to buy the same game over a year later... it needs to be a new BF game in 2013.

"There needs to be a breakthrough idea first"

translation: "lol no"

Other than make BF games back 2 back.. what else does this developer do?... dont think I want them on Wii U

2011: "We need a breakthrough idea first"
2012: "Gamers will say 'wow' when they see this..."
2013: "The thing is, that development needs a little more time"
2014: " We believe that some features are a little complex, like streaming the game on the controller screen"*
2015: "This holiday!" :// Holiday :// "Delayed..."
2016: "Almost!...(hahaha)"
2017: "Oh, too late, but N7 looks fantastic, we are very optimistic!"

*Note: Vigil need only 5 minutes and lines to run DS2 in the controller screen.

every platform has potential...

BF3 would look so good on the Wii U...and the tablet controller would probably offer some pretty awesome extra features.
