The footage didn't show bland shooter gameplay at all. Maybe the visuals and locations looked bland, that is a fair complaint but the gameplay wasn't bland by any stretch of the imagination. You're very mobile, able to scale up walls and climb on top/over things plus you got this unique blend of shooting and melee sword slashing which includes sword-throwing even. This is anything but bland.

Well... it certanly didnt look like anything special
The single player mode they showed at e3 seemed like Any PS3 Shooter: The Game
Titanfall had huge mechs (needs source*) and walking on walls (needs source*) and even so wasnt enough to set the audience on fire.
*putting those remarks because i didnt played Titanfall, so i can be wrong on these
Sure it is. But it's not like people are drowning in WiiU games and especially not in mature audience WiiU games. If they're already playing COD on WiiU instead of somewhere else, chances are they are going to be interested in this. It's up to Nintendo to reach them.lol
In my opinion Iwata should make an Devils Third´s After Hours Direct, viewer discretion is advised, market as such, cheeky* and funny when it hits
This could draw some attention to the title... specially when it comes to the audience that could really make it fly: old nintendo fans that can take the game to the heart and overflow it to other, non nintendo people
*first time i use this word, i hope i got ir right
