First Aliens: Colonial Marines Wii U details
This information comes from Gearbox’s Randy Pitchford…
– Can play through the entire game with the television off
– Play through the game while someone else is watching TV
– Pitchford says there are very neat things players can do with the controller
– The controller will sometimes be the game’s motion tracker
– The tracker is a device in the Alien universe that can track the location of enemies and friendlies by their motion
– Might be asked to sweep the controller around, looking for approaching enemies
– They’ll show up as blips on the controller display
– Controller will sometimes be a fully interactive map
– Play with a full map of the area similar to what has been seen with Private William Hudson doing in the movie Aliens
– Use the display on the controller to play a mini-game used to hack doors
– Pitchford: “The Wii U is really bad ass. We have a lot of great ideas that we’re already working on.”
– Pitchford said that his studio’s game won’t be on the 3DS as of now
