FIFA executive producer David Rutter is willing to discuss Wii U, but only in general terms.
Rutter says the GamePad is “pretty exciting” and feels that his teams could take advantage of the second screen in unique ways.
“It’s pretty exciting actually. I’ve been talking to a bunch of the guys about the games that they’re working on here, and about what they want to do with Wii U or with SmartGlass and stuff like that. And if you look at it from a different perspective, I’m not going to tell you exactly what because it’s kind of competitive advantage, I think there were a few kind of ‘wow, that’s a pretty cool way of looking at it’ moments, so that idea of a second screen, I think it has some really, really big positives”.
Only discussing the console’s potential, Rutter hinted that something such as voice using could work well in FIFA. He added that the Wii U allows for “some really cool things”.
“If you look at FIFA as a game, with Kinect we’ve got the ability to do tactical changes on the fly with our voices, maybe that’s something you could do with that, or maybe you could go a different route, something like Dead Space or any of the other games we’re making, there’s some really cool things you can do with it.”
