I don't call it a gimmick because nobody uses the word gimmick in real life. It is something that is assumed from what you observe and experience.

Keep grasping for straws though, this is fun.

If people don't call it a gimmick in real life, is it possible that's because it isn't one? Just food for thought.


People don't say "rad" anymore either. "This sandwich is so rad!" "Dat ass is rad!" "That rabbit is sooo rad!" "Double rainbow.....RAD!!!!!"

That's RADiculous!!

But back to serious useless vg bla bla, there's a difference between a dying expression and something that simply never came to be because it simply was not true and is propaganda diffused by anti-Nintendo zealots. No joke my man.

Well, I mean that's your opinion and all, and I continue to respect it, even though history and common sense has shown that it's not true whatsoever.

I was a nintendo fanboy as well waaay back in the day, but we all grow up to appreciate all games eventually.



And that's the only thing I need is *this*. I don't need this or this. Just this PS4... And this gaming PC. - The PS4 and the Gaming PC and that's all I need... And this Xbox 360. - The PS4, the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360, and that's all I need... And these PS3's. - The PS4, and these PS3's, and the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360... And this Nintendo DS. - The PS4, this Xbox 360, and the Gaming PC, and the PS3's, and that's all *I* need. And that's *all* I need too. I don't need one other thing, not one... I need this. - The Gaming PC and PS4, and Xbox 360, and thePS3's . Well what are you looking at? What do you think I'm some kind of a jerk or something! - And this. That's all I need.

You don't know anything about me. Here is a thread that you will enjoy as someone who thinks I'm a blind Nintendo fanboy, you're wrong.

But since you like to belittle others by what they like and think you're cool because you play HD consoles, I'd like you to know that I own a PS3 and am a fan of Sony and Naughty Dog games. I also know how to call Nintendo out when it makes a mistake.

But people who call Nintendo motion controls a gimmick are hypocrites.



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.

Haha, maybe. The only thing that isn't there though id the geolocation sensor, above the gyro and accelo's. So bye to scanner and sniper, as well as superimposed perspectives.

What is a geolocation sensor and how does it differ from gps?  I just smoked a bit so forgive me if I'm being daft and this is common knowledge.



Sorry went back and read an earlier post of yours. That does seem to make things more difficult. Though I'm sure they could probably use a mix of acceleromater and gps data to fake it sufficiently. Not so sure about tablets though.
