Vigil talks Darksiders II on Wii U

"Our one and only goal once we got the Wii U hardware was to get Darksiders II running on it. We didn't even have running the game on the touch screen on our 'to do' list. but once we got it running, we just fooled around with getting it on the touch screen as a lark. It took all of five minutes and two lines of code, and boom! - there was the entire game running on the controller. Amazing."

"On the Wii U, all it would take to switch from one to the other would be a hot button on the touch screen, and multiple swaps could be made during an intense combat without ever pausing."

This is like the standard I want to see in future games.
Quick navigation and what not.
The main reason I love multiscreen setups.

Doesn't sound like they are having trouble with the controller as some articles were suggesting. But devs are still using tethered models?

It should also create more of a cinematic experience for Wii U games.

That rumor that the devs were struggling with the wiiu was from 01net and now everyone is taking it as a fact. The fact is that both Crytek and Vigil say that the wiiu is fine developing on.

i know and to think crytek and epic as well as valve and retro studios all have the latest kits with epic i think have the final specs on the machine its when epic said the wiiu opens up doors on unreal engine that were not possible on ps3 and its going to be a powerful box plus all these articles about controller lag and issues it doesnt sound like that to me in this reading it sounds like the wiiu is like light speed to develop 4

Yeah its just the doom and gloom people are trying to put on Nintendo. They will be just fine and Wii U will be a success.

[HawtSkull]

so little comments when its good news for the Big N. Wii U is a must buy for me and darksiders 2 will be the perfect 3rd party title to pick up at launch.

[2EHO]

That's how it works. Nintendo has more hater than a little bit

[eagle21]

Can't wait for Wii U. Nintendo will have me broke this year and next.

[Shnazzyone]

Hater's gonna hate.

[jacen100]

its just getting better wiiU is getting the thumbs up

[Ness-Psi]

this game is looking excellent, and its looking like the Wii U version will be the one to get.

I cannae wait lad!

[Quagmire]

Really? Why is that? I'm surprised, didnt you play the original on PC/Console? It would be awkward for me to suddenly switch consoles and play-style. I would find the WiiU to be gimmicky when it comes to playing it personally, and just wouldnt feel the same as playing the original.

[ChickeyCantor]

New versions are bound for certain changes.
Just because the controls are slightly different doesn't mean it's suddenly a gimmick.

Thats like saying going from m/k to gamepad and the gamepad becomes a gimmick.

Sense? It does not.

"and just wouldnt feel the same as playing the original."

You havn't played ANYTHING from this game nor have you played around with the new controller from Nintendo.

How the F would you know?

@quagmire

I did play the first game on pc (with 360 pad) and it was excellent, why would this be any different the controller will be a new shape and everything but the controls will be just the same (two slider pads, multiple buttons). and how would it not be like the original it looks a lot like it and retains a lot of the combat mechanics, it wont be that much different just with the added Wii U controls and more content.

I'm sure all verions will be excellent. but i'm excited about what the Wii U controller brings to games.
