ZombiU Creative Director Jean-Phillipe Caro has refused to take credit for reinventing the survival horror genre with his new game, insisting that they've only been able to make the Wii U launch game because of the Wii U. A machine he calls "the most innovative on Earth."
i agree too
it can use 3 types of controllers
one with a screen (wich includes gyros, cameras, NFC etc, motion controller, traditional controller
( a neat thing is that you dont have to buy new sets of controllers, just use the ones from your previous console, i thank nintendo for that)
console that you can play away from the tv and on the toilet is enough for me xD
BUT it all depends on the developers to come up with ideas to use that
which sadly is minimal at best
most just shoe-in ideas and ignore others
Edit---
Yeah your right Tonester, unforunately no one will ever take advantage of that. Has this discussion before. Nintendo Wii had Motion control as it's main control thingy. That's why it was taken advantage of so much(not that I liked it, I think Motion control was a waste). Now Wii U has this controller at it's core. It Will be utilized alot of the time. No dev is going to make a game that requires two separate systems to play, it's too risky money wise. Even multi plats are using the controller for something now. AC3 for example
*raises hand*
ooohh ooooh its teh more polygons a characters have teh more innovation it is! :B
I'd really hate to be in your universe.
And while I'm sure the Vita has the capability to act a similar way as the Wii U controller, will developers use it that way often? From what I'm seeing, I don't think so. They just release the same game for Vita and you can transfer save data between systems.
BA
DMMM
TSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Great example of this is back during the gamecube days, you could plug in the GBA to the gamecube, and it could do some cool things, but a lot of the times you really needed a second person to tell you about what is on the screen, or you needed several GBAs to play certain games in order to have full functionality. The functionality was there, but the support simply wasn't. And this is the problem with vita. The cost of entry is too high, and therefore developers will be hesitant to support the device lest Sony lends a hand.
Resistance allowed you to use a PS3 controller to play a PSP game. That is nothing like what the Wii U does.
As for LBP, I will agree that it is similar to the Wii U. I just don't think that the feature is used enough. There's only a handful of games that support the feature.
yes we can use all games in remote play through a hack.
damn u sony for limiting the potential of the PSVita.
Ridge Racer!!!
I remember this before kinect.

Also wiiU is under powered..
Proof.
"DICE's Rendering Architect Johan Andersson has warned that some of his company's 2013 games using the Frostbite engine will need the extra bits as a matter of course. In other words, it won't matter if you have a quad Core i7 gaming PC of death should the software be inadequate; if you're still running a 32-bit copy of Windows 7 come the new year, you won't be playing. The developer points to memory as the main culprit, as going 64-bit guarantees full access to 4GB or more of RAM as well as better virtual addressing." - Dice

I like nintendo going hardcore again but it's a shame that wiiU is weak.
pc players already have 4gb+ ram & 1gb+ vRam.
Proof. "
That is no proof. If it's dedicated they can pull off a lot on the Wii-u. Wii-U games don't suffer from many api layers.
"pc players already have 4gb+ ram & 1gb+ vRam."
With that said, you think the PS4/nextbox will surpass the PC?
The WiiU being underpowered and "childish characters" statement are not.
Do you think Nintendo just came up with the idea for the Wii Mote and put it out the next day? Nintendo had patents and R&D on motion controls before the launch of the Gamecube.
Nintendo is known for some of the most loved characters and games of all time, calling them kiddie doesn't change the facts.
You cant compare what is in a PC, which has to run operating systems and all kinds of other features, so they actually need more RAM, game consoles really only need enough to run games, yet Nintendo put in extra to help run other features as well.
Its nice that you are a fanboy and all, but stop being so delusional.
Problem?
Sort of like the addition of CD on the PS1...
Or the DVD on PS2...
Storage space is a pretty important thing, man.
not joking. 1988 in the house. I don't seem to remember any PS1 then.
I wish you felt this way towards Nintendo's games. Innovative or not I can't wait to play this game!
they DIDNT say
Wii U WILL ALWAYS BE the most innovative system on Earth
right now yes, yes it is
once ps4 720 release
then it will be up for debate
live2play's response makes sense. But why would you assume the other systems would just be copying Nintendo?
They'll drop support once the PS4/720 come out. I can guarantee that.
nintendo hasnt had 3rd party support since the Snes Console wise.
honestly the wii-u is a giant DS.
thats not a bad thing, but its far from the "most innovative"
the wii was innovative and we see how many good games we played with that..../s
besides pc, that is
it already uses wii motes, kinect, ps3 controller, 360 controller, obviously mouse and keyboard, flight sticks, racing wheels, voice commands, and give it a month or two before the wii u tablet controller can be used on pc too.
Don't get me wrong, the wii u looks great, already pre-ordered the 32gb, but nearly all the innovation in gaming is born on pc, and nearly every game ever made is playable there
You say the Wii U tablet will be useable on PC too in a month or two and that might be the case, but will there be any dedicated software or support for it on PC? The only use a PC gamer would have from it is when a Wii U emulator becomes available. That would be great and all for PC-only gamers, but can hardly be called innovation born on PC.
PC has innovated a lot in it's own right, namely online, digital distribution as well as tech, but the gameplay innovation is found mainly on consoles.
