Peter Molyneux, Microsoft unsure of Wii U GamePad
Microsoft and Fable creator Peter Molyneux are expressing some doubt over Wii U.
As was the case earlier this month, Molyneux still doesn’t seem to be convinced with the console following E3 2012.
Many of his doubts appear to come from the GamePad. Molyneux believes “that monitoring both screens turns out to be a bit demanding, as some games make it necessary to change your view from time to time between both screens.”
Molyneux told GameBeat:
“I am not really decided about Wii U. I watch people playing and they sometimes seem to be confused about which screen they should look at when they play with the tablet. I also feel that monitoring both screens turns out to be a bit demanding, as some games make it necessary to change your view from time to time between both screens.”
Yusuf Mehdi, chief marketing officer for Microsoft’s game business, has a few similar thoughts.
Mehdi noted:
“I think… One of the things that’s interesting is, when you’re playing a quick, realtime, twitch game, how much can you look up and down between the screens? That’s an interesting question. …In other cases, when you do want to have cross-screen sharing, that’s where I believe this approach is actually better, because what we’re doing is embracing it as truly a supporting screen. Not as the thing you should be looking at…”
