well it looks like i'll never get the answer to my question (if Sony didn't know Nintendo was making this controller for the Wiiu then how could it possibly be copying) so i'll no longer bother with it.

i must say op, you did manage to get constructive conversation going, and this thread will likely last for the next 3 days.

well, back to the Vita thread.

i want to thank the OP for this thread and i shall award it the Selnor medal of excellence in the category of thread entertainment, as well as the Nintendo gamer trophy of true enlightenment.

Also, if you want to play that game:

Other thing is, The Last Guardian screenshot is fan-made, sorry.

Part of the reason massive and fundamental IP reform is needed, internationally so that we can circumvent this damned "corporate personhood" bullshit

I understand that a corporation needs to exist as an entity, of course, but they abuse the notion. Corporations should not be allowed to own any patents or intellectual property period, barring branding trademarks. All other IPs should belong to their inventors.

Oh i love playing games !

@My words in bold.

This is the point that I was making as well.  We saw interactivity between console and handheld with the GC/GBA.  I have no doubt that the PS3/Vita can do this kind of performance at a much higher level.  I would also bet that the PS3/Vita could in fact run a full, less intensive game on both screens with interactivity.  It's something like Uncharted or GOW that I have trouble buying.

But to be fair, the only hands-on that anyone has had so far with WiiU are relatively simple affairs such as Chase Mii and Battle Mii.  The Zelda HD demo was definitely running in real time, and was definitely appearing on both screens simultaneously, but I'm sure that WiiU is incapable of actually rendering a game of that intensity multiple times (as if powered by separate consoles).  This is why WiiU's streaming ability seems so unique; it seems to allow interactivity with the full game, on multiple displays of the full game.  While it's certainly not multiple renderings, it's still far beyond just outputting multiple images via multiple outputs (i.e. walking into Best Buy and seeing a movie being displayed on multiple TVs).

Only the devs really know what the WiiU is capable of, but hearing things like Yoshinori Ono's recent optimism and the fact that Nintendo is really pushing the feature as something new keeps me hopeful.  In any case, we'll know much more in four months.

Lol who are those Ninty fans? I sure don’t hate the idea and I haven’t seen hate from Nintendo fans.


OT: why do you care what people think? Some people will not believe you are holding an apple in your hand even though you are showing them that you are. Some Sony fans don’t even know what games are made by Sony and what is made by 3rd party devs

Wii U tablet is definitely not a new concept. Even if you think tablet controllers, iPad and iPhone could have been as controllers for stereo systems etc for a while. Sure, iPad and iPhone have not been used as remote gaming controllers but they have had capability for doing that for a long time, Apple just haven't been enabled that yet (Apple have never been quick to support gaming and reason is that, according to many, Steve Jobs hated gaming). Remote Play on PSP may not have touch screen but it is basically a similar concept as Wii U. Then again, I don't care whether Sony or Nintendo copied each other or that they might have copied someone else (I doubt idea is created originally by neither Sony nor Nintendo).
