Devil’s Third producer Yoshifuru Okamoto has explained how the game will utilise the Wii U’s unique GamePad. Okamoto says there are lots of uses of Nintendo’s GamePad primarily in the game’s multiplayer mode. The controller can be used to call in air strikes and also share vital information with squad members. Okamoto concluded by saying that it’s something you could imagine a commander on a battlefield using to give out orders to his squad.
Does the game need to be a Wii U exclusive? Does it use the GamePad in ways that cannot be emulated elsewhere?
“Actually we do have some GamePad usage in multiplayer. As you know, the setting of this game is this fallen state – a chaotic war that has broken out between different factions across North America. Among those different factions, one of the things that is going to lead to victory is the ability to share information, so we use the GamePad as a communication tool. So you will be doing, among other things, calling in air-strikes and sharing information with squad members. It’s something you can imaging the commander on the battlefield holding to give orders.”
Thanks, WhiteEagle

I’m looking forward to this game, even if the graphics aren’t up to par with games like Mario Kart 8 :)
Graphics isn’t everything. You know, the original half-life still beats every new fps out there.
…. Wow…. read what I said… I said I really didn’t care….
If the game kicks ass, fun and graphics are fine, then I could care less if its not like PS4 which isn’t much different than PS3 or Xbox One with 360.
Haters gonna hater while we rejoice and enjoy this badass Nintendo-exclusive mature game. :) Bet they wish they haven’t disgraced this and Bayonetta 2 to make them come to us. Now those tight games are ours.
Who said they’re not?
Could be interesting, let’s see how they handle this !
I’m looking forward to this game it
Looks great and fun. I salute to this game
So… no. The gamepad’s not gonna be used in any meaningful way. They’ve tried that sort of thing with Smartglass and whatnot in Dead Island 3 and Battlefield. Oh well…
This looks like the type of game I’d probably rather use the Pro Controller with to be honest.
And obviously the Gamepad should be obvious for me…
So you can become the commander on the field like you were always destined to be.
*wink*
Of course…
I shall use the gamepad for the very same reason.
Do you also play RTS games?…
That’s my favorite genre on PC…
Yes I do. Total War: Shogun is one of my favorites.
It doesn’t make me bored or go to sleep mode like Witcher or Skyrim, which are the hugest borefests in the world to me.
Nice, my favorite is Starcraft and I somehow regret buying Total War 2 Rome, it’s not as fun as the previous ones…
Total War 2: Rome was horrible in nearly every way.
My ships would just spontaneously combust for some unknown reason.
I didn’t have any problems with the game, it’s just dull compared to the others…
That too…
Because Smartglass is merely a knockoff “mirror” of Gamepad without true Gamepad-like functions. Come on. So many PC monitor streaming apps that existed long before Smartglass did a better job years ago.
The Smartglass is as dead as the Ouya…
Dead Island 2*
satru iwata leaving nintendo
Nice try, do-do bird. Iwata is staying with Nintendo in both Japan and the United States.
WEAK! I’ve seen the worst and suckish trolls tried better than that. lol
And it’s so insulting that this primitive troll can’t even write our Lord’s name correctly…
wiiu is nearly discontinued and being stopped in develpment
…until Mario Kart 8 becomes a system seller for Wii U. 2 million sold in less than a month!
Again, stop trying. You suck.
wiiu only last till 2016
2016 or 2017, yeah. But whatever, so long as it gets good games. It’ll be out 4-5 years in that time, which is what game cycles used to all be before the ps360ii generation, which was more of an exception to the rule than the standard. That’s fine with me. The Wii U will have enough time to get a handful of great exclusives and then Nintendo will be able to release the highest end hardware on the market for a while. I’m sure Microsoft and Somy won’t let their new systems last less than 6 years, considering how much R&D goes into new consoles, so Nintendo could have a couple years with the strongest hardware and get some third party support back, considering how much they like new hardware. Even the Wii U had some good 3rd party games at launch. Unfortunately the bad/late ports outweighed the quality ones and have enough reason to excuse themselves to back away from it. Had tomb raider and Bioshock Infinite been able to launch on the Wii U as well, these third party games that launched just months after the Wii U did, we may not be having the whole issue we have now. Some guys jumped ship way too fast, but when you have multiple consoles with a 50+ million install base to sell to as the main alternatives, a brand new console, especially being from Nintendo, a company whose fans seem a bit less likely to look at third parties, isn’t really that interesting profit-wise
This games Graphics hurt my eyes
Im glad sony rejected it
pc gamers can tell u the same thing about ps4
And my PC destroys your underpowered PC disguised a console. I’m glad you’re butthurt.
THQ rejected it, not Sony, and they only rejected it by going bankrupt.
You missed Knack which looked and played WAY worse. Try again loser. You gonna wish this game was on your system when its on Wii U kicking ass.
So sad no of you are getting attention today
first thing that came to my mind when i saw the pic of this article:
sasori’s ugly face, lol. look their noses
OMG. Brokeback makes Fat Albert look more handsome. XD No wonder in every video he posted, light blocks most of his ugly ass. That’s way of saying “I don’t like ugly but wow, Satan must be your real father after all.”
Wow, this guy really has mental issues, now I know why he says so much hate and non sense in this website. He’s just a sad person entertaining himself in the internet. 40 minutes, really!? XD
Lol same, I mean I knew this kid was dumb but goodness gracious, he took the word stupid to entirely new heights. I could only imagine what people on the streets are thinking seeing him walking around talking to himself in that manner.

Have fun with your multiple personalities.
Are you honestly going on about drinking your own semen again Sasori? God damn, I know you are mentally challenged now for sure, but just try to take in how utterly insane you’re being for once.
I know autistic children with more common sense than you, I want you to seriously think about how moronic you’re being. You aren’t fooling anyone here and every single person on this site knows you have no girlfriend, let alone one that would want to brag about you cumming all over cinnamon rolls. We all know it is you making multiple accounts, using multiple emails just to pose as a women for the sake of your own insecurities.
You are just being plain nasty and truly pathetic in every sense of the word.
I wish I knew who your parents were young man, I would love to tell them how you are on the internet. I bet you play as such a nice little boy around them but only if they know how distorted and demented you really are, they would probably send you to an institution out of pure fear.
You are a very unstable person. You seriously need help.
“Does the game need to be a Wii U exclusive? Does it use the GamePad in ways that cannot be emulated elsewhere?”
Clearly another butthurt Xbot or Sonyan supporter…
The Wii U Gamepad is a fresh canvas video game designers can use to to put forth their creativity in intuitive ways not found on any other console. If said video game designer is not artistic and creative enough to get imaginative to the potential possibilities held within the gamepad.. If they cant think of imaginative on using it, well then its probably their ‘creativity’ is most likely ‘generic’ by today’s standards (i.e shooters, button-mashers,
Not generic. It means they failed as a developer to truly use it’s potential.
Now if GTA V had a Wii U release… oh man, I can think of so many ways the Gamepad can be used. Like for example, Los Santos is fucking HUGE. Pain in my ass pausing every few seconds to look at the menu. So yep, Gamepad as a map. And maybe it’s just me, but I really hated when you had to choose your weapon by pressing the trigger button and then pressing the D-pad in a direction. You can simply tap your Gamepad and there’s your weapon! And also “Look at the Wii U Gamepad and snipe the guy on the roof” or “Slide your finger over the Gamepad to shoot money at the stripper and make it rain” XD So many missed opportunities. *sigh*
Too bad Rockstar doesn’t want to do it. So much potential. These third class empires are pathetic sometimes, just wasting the potential.
I love how you use my terms…
But indeed, these smaller empires like the Bethesdians just hates us for no reason…
You are the best at what you do, and it will only continue to inspire our republic.
Third parties are just too damn lazy.
Sims also has huge potential, it would really make good use of the gamepad.
To be honest, Nintendo hasn’t even really done anything with the Gamepad. And if a third party dev can make the Gamepad work before Nintendo can, then that’s not good. Nintendo has to be the leader so they can follow. 4 of Wii U’s best games (imo) SM3DW, WWHD, MK8, and DKTF barely use the Gamepad. And you can’t make a shooter creative with the Gamepad. It’s just impossible. That genre is worn out. Lol.
I think FPS games are the ones that are the easiest ones to use it for since it’s so obvious n a lot of ways, but I agree about our empire not using it’s potential…
But it reall shouldn’t matter which side utilize it first. What matters is how its utilized and designed to make the games worth looking into. Third or first party doing it first is like saying PS4 or Xbox One is more powerful than each. It really shouldn’t matter as long as the game delivers.
It would seem that you have a small wii u library and don’t know dick
I agree with you there that developers need to be creative with the gamepad. However, Nintendo needs to lead the way. Look at what N did with MK8, a freakin’ horn???
Although I am not liking Ubisoft right now, they are the ones who is being creative with the gamepad. Zombi U, Rayman, Splinter Cell plus WB’s Arkham City.
And the worst thing about the game, showing splitscreen on the Gamepad?…
Why not use it as a secondary screen for the first player? it’s so stupid…
And they could have done wonders with the Gamepad if they made a Double Dash sequel or had a gameplay like it…
Agreed. 2nd player can use gamepad to look at the other racers around him and throw a shell or somethin’. Geez Nintendo.
There were some missed opportunities with MK8. What they should’ve done is allow the Gamepad to have a separate screen instead of a splitscreen on both the pad and TV. And they also could’ve let you speak through the microphone on the Gamepad for voice chat instead of it limited to lobbies with friends. Well, at least there’s Amiibo to look foward to I guess.
Yup gamepad as mic like Splinter Cell or Assasins’s Creed….
The gamepad is the mic, but u can only speak to friends, and I like it that way
I agree.
Even call of duty got the split screen right with the wiiu…. Mario kart 8 needs a update
Just like sonic and sega all stars racing transformed. SASASRT > MK8
and what i really do not understand is that developper have been using a second screen since the first DS xD. It shoulnt be that hard to figure oit meaningful ways tu use the gamepad. Just replicate what works on the DS or 3DS.
^^This. Map, menus, inventory at the quick tap of the stylus, never having to pause the game.
It’s funny how one topic always turns into a million when it comes to NINTENDO
Because our empire is made out of a million things…
*wink*
Million or Multi-billion $$$? :3 I say the last one is more accurate Commander.
I wasn’t talking about resources though…
I know there is no such thing thing as a perfect company but c’mon Nintendo. We expect more from you since the gamepad was your selling point. It’s really disappointing.
I’m trying to look forward but based on what they showed at E3, gamepad use is lackluster.
Focus on having fun and play something innovative instead of being a fucking Debbie Downer. Just because Nintendo have dominated E3 this year, I can actually taste your salty flavored tears.
That’s the problem, our empire is not being innovative enough with the Gamepad…
You already played Zombie U? This game is pretty inovative with gamepad dude…
I wouldn’t call that innovative. XD But it is by far the best example of how the Gamepad should be used.
Yes I have the game but I’m talking about our empire, they didn’t make ZombiU…
DERP
Is that a picture of Sasori… LOL…
Graphics are incredibly terrible and PS4 quality.
