I am very excited about the multiplayer on this one.  It is one of the Wii U games they showed that had asymmetrical gameplay.  In one of the modes, one player controls the FPS with the Wii remote/Nunchuck and the other player controls the enemy spawns with the touch screen controller.  I am not sure how much control over the enemies that second player has, but I am very excited about the possibilities.

Graphically, the early builds of the game running on hardware that was rumoured to be under-clocked was neither impressive nor unimpressive compared to current generation HD console games. Being that the game was (probably) about 18 months from being released, I'm not that worried about what I saw ..

With that said, I'm not really sure who they're targeting with this game. While I see a massive potential market for a FPS that focuses more on humour than graphic violence, after all it could target tweens/teens as well as adults, I see elements of this game that could be considered inappropriate for younger gamers and humour that many adults may think is too immature.

I'm still eager to see more of this.

If the games actually look this good I might change my opinion about getting a WiiU. (I have a feeling it's just CGI though.)

I would certainly call it unimpressive. It barely looks better than Conduit 2 from what i can see.

I agree here, if Nintendo want to keep the core gamer they need to make a game like GOW, U3, DS, etc...

They had a multi-player demo at last year's E3, I have only seen one video of it, can't find it now. But the mode they where playing (local multi-player) one was on the controller acting like alien commander, sending waves of enemies at the other player, also setting up mid-boss encounters. So it was almost like a on-the-fly level editor, with a dm.

EDIT: here it is.

The E3 proof-of-concept demo was a port of 360 code running on severely underclocked hardware. Being a Ubisoft game it'll be powered by the LyN Engine which is a nice piece of kit. At this years E3 we'll see gameplay looking closer to the trailer CGI (but obviously not identical to!) than the proof-of-concept demo.

There are going to be a great deal of people pleasantly (and some fanboys unpleasantly lol) surprised at the eye candy quality the U hardware is going to be capable of. We're talking about a Power7-based CPU tailored for gaming with 16-32Mb of eDRAM and a modern Radeon HD GPU with anywhere between 1-2MB of RAM (I'd put my money on a unified pool of 1.5MB of GDDR5 myself).

Freaks is a day one purchase for me personally, the humour is going to be right up my street by the looks of it! 'Ave it!!! Lol

While youtube videos are not particularly good for looking at the quality of the graphics, most of the geometric and texture detail seemed pretty decent; although there was little in the videos that made it stand out. When you look at how bad some early generation games look early in development (see: Wall Guy for Perfect Dark Zero) there really is nothing to be disapointed with by these videos ...

Yeah I agree Killer Freaks is a day on purchase along with anything made by Nintendo itself. Which will be what I did for the Wii, bought almost all the Nintendo made titles, plus Red Steel. (Which was a great concept too bad they rushed it out so it was a launch title. Which will not be the case for Freaks.)
