I thought I heard him say "released during the launch window this fall."
Pointer aiming means I will buy. Oh please have splitscreen though and preferably good coop modes.

It should be some up latter, the press is getting hands on now
COD games tend to drop in price incredibly slowly. So you might have a longer wait than you think.

I wasn't going to bother with Blops2 but now it's on the Wii U I think I'll jump back in.
I agree: I'd love to see this becoming the standard for all the Wii U fps.
I mean: I'd love to be able to choose-shift from the Gamepad (with motion sensor, map, inventory and especially the splitscreen no more split features) and the remote + nunchak control scheme
We sure it is being developed by Treyarch? I asked Lamia about motion controls when I was at Treyarch for a BOII MP press tour and he was basically uneducated about the whole motion controls thing.
Perhaps he was just bluffing.

Walruses, camels, bears, rabbits, tigers and badgers.
This will be a fun rental to blow through the single player campaign and then mess around with the online modes for a bit. Obviously though it's one of the most important third party titles for WiiU.

Jesus christ, this again???
Cool, thanks.
You know, I'm actually planning on buying a Wii U now just for that reason.
In fact, I'm even more pissed now about the PS3 version not supporting the Move since theoretically I shouldn't need to buy a whole new system to enjoy BOII with proper controls.

In the demo, what was the point of seeing two screens when playing against bots? Wa it just to demonstrate "splitscreen"?

Pointer controls.

They were just showing off how two people can play using one console without sharing a screen.
encoded in 30 fps ={
Weirdly, i also agree with this. And i'm not even that bothered about the pointer controls. Must just be fed up of paying for XBL, i guess.

Where is this mentioned? Figured it would just be a port of the PS360.

So i guess this will finally put an end to the debate when decent ir users destroy dual analogue players online
Not really. Black Ops and MW3 both offered classic controller and IR support. I personally play a lot better with IR.
It wouldn;t be difficult to change the resolution in a port. You literally just change the numbers over in the code. They'd have to redesign the hud is all, unless they want it to look blurry.

Nice features. Hope they can up the resolution, aa or textures a bit
The games have supported the classic controller setup for the last two games. I think people just didn't care enough to prove anything.

I see.
True, but at least it gives a good impression of the game has to offer =)

It does? Awesome if true.

that's gonna be cool if it gets picked up on more titles.
EDIT: They still haven't clarified exactly how online will work, not only for this but for any online game shown so far. Have nintendo stood by the wild west idea of every 3rd party hosting their own service or do they have something else in mind?

Wiimote will get a second life, I think it will truly shine supporting next gen games such as this one.

This will sound crazy: wiimote + nunchuck exceeds kb/mouse when implemented well. Bear with me: I have played PC games and spent the first half of the game getting each button down correctly. Wiimote and NC on RE4 was heaven and I didn't need to remember anything. Before you burn me at the stake, some waggle for certain moves are easier to remember than R for reload or whatever. It's not that big of a deal because I can plow thru but wiimote is the best innovation for FPS and other shooters over the past decade.
I'm replaying dead space (on PC) and I've accidentally hit buttons in the heat of shooting that just seems awkward. I know I can select any buttons but I think it's a bad control setup. And I think waggle has some utility that just makes sense with some motion (ie waggle to continuously aim while moving, throw grenades, reload).
It's unfortunate that waggle and anything wii related was so dismissed by 3rd parties because of how much progress was made with so little effort. I can only imagine what control scheme they would have come up with for bioshock, dead space and other games. I can see that any developer can make a shitty control scheme with any device, including kb/m but I have the feeling that the wiimote would exceed KB/M, at it's best.
I actually think tablet control is the best possible aiming function. I don't think there are many other muscles in our body that offer as much accuracy and precision as our fingers when holding a pen. It was always a joy to me to aim in DS shooters, the only downfall being the low resolution/sensitivity of the screen, and the small size of the screen (especially since you have to map some of the buttons to icons on the screen).
Wii U could have some truly phenomenal tablet controls for first person perspectives, and I really hope a company tries it out soon.
That doesn't sound at all crazy.

Black ops 2 is a next gen game? Mind blown.

I highly doubt it's as simple as "changing the numbers over" while at the same time keeping their target of 60fps.
Still looking for a source on the native 720p.

Uhh... have you actually been following Blops II or even COD in general? the crates encricle a central area where a crane moves smaller crates around. I'm guessing it plays similarly to Countdown in MW1 where the general strategy was to circle around the map unless you wanted to risk getting plastered in the middle for a quick shortcut.
