Ghost Recon Online First Look (Wii U Footage, Free 2 Play PC/(Free?) Wii U Title)
- Thread starter Rich!

This wasn't just the minimap, though. The guy was controlling a flying drone that he could actually move around and use as a remote camera. The "normal" map functionality also seemed to let him pan around and look at things in more detail, so there's no reason it couldn't be used in conjunction with a basic mini-map/motion sensor.Tom Penny said:
Alternatively, you could run with that idea and put some vital pieces of gameplay on the controller's screen as a way to change the flow of things. Imagine if defusing bombs in defusing bombs, causing regenerating health to kick in, or even reloading took a brief microgame to pull off. I'm not saying those are great ideas that should be universally applied, but it's definitely a powerful tool for developers.

There are more then enough Wii remotes out there. Also if the demos are any indication then they might actually pack a Wii remote set in with the game. The golfing tech demo alone and the that the Mii Chase and Battle Mii games seem to need them. I don't think Nintendo is moving away from pointer controls. Just the new control seems to add to it. At least this is what I'm hoping and what it looks like at this point.
What I'm looking forward to finding out is if you can add buttons to the touch screen. If only on the edges. A reload, grenade, score list button, etc. Especially since the start and select buttons are so far down on the new controller. That would make FPS and other games easier to play if you could map certain actions right to the screen itself.

But you know what? PlayStation Move
That said, I just can't stop thinking if I'd really be comfortable with having to look down at the controller from time to time while I'm playing on the TV screen. Hopefully implementation is sensible enough not to turn this into an annoying distraction. If you get what I mean.
but it does still have pointer controls in a way (the baseball & gun demo)

And yet there are a mere handful of Wii FPS games that actually does wiimote aiming right. To be fair, there are only a handful of Wii FPS games. Only The Conduit did the aiming controls right though, and maybe Red Steel 2.

Red Steel 2 did it right. So did MP3 (unless you're only talking about 3rd party games?)

Oh yeah, forgot about MP3. I just don't generally lump Metroid even in first person into the FPS category.

Those MMO's are published by Q? Entertainment. Dust 514 will be another free to play game and it's being released in the US.

Boo at the analog controls. Why can't they use the tablet part as a sort of mouse/stylus controls?

My point was he said the map is already on the screen, but it's a minimap. The Wii U map would be, presumably, a much larger map. The only comparable view on screen would be to press a button to view the full map.
For minimaps, I agree.
Truth101 said:
Heh, don't worry. But seriously, it's the same concept in writing:
First Person: "Through my own eyes, I saw myself shoot a man in the ass"
Third Person: "This man in front of me just shot a man in the ass"
Quote number 1 could be Halo or Goldeneye. Quote 2 could be Gears of War or Ghost Recon.

Still F2P. Dust 514 by CCP will also be F2P AFAIK.
EDIT: I think PSN also has some random JP MMO RPGs that are free to play, I think one is named Angels Online IIRC.

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
They better support the wiimote and nunchuck for this (and almost every other Wii U game). Just make the satelite view pop up with a button shortcut, like I imagine the PC version will be, or like the Call of Duty games allow you to call in the attack choppers or whatever else. It's not a tough task and the in game effect would be similar enough, you still need safety to take your focus off the FPS view in order to manage whatever you want to manage. Just don't fuck up the pointing.
What's with all the pro-classic controls people shitting on people/threads who suggest the option of pointing controls anyway? Do they get owned that hard by people using Wiimote/Move on compatible games so they don't want them to have the choice at all? You've apparently got the dual analog controls you like already, just let people freely express the desire for pointer controls so they can maybe get what they want too, it doesn't affect you all that much.

I don't wanna haul a controller all over the place for such games (although it would be cool to turn the TV off and play a VR style Endless Ocean game or something) I want the small, speedy, precise movements the wiimote allows while rested in my lap and uses to greatly enhance first/third person games and many other styles of gameplay.onQ123 said:

Technically, GAF wants pointer controls. Which is far superior for shooters than dual analog.

I just realised how good RTS games will be on Wii U.
