Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare actually coming on Wii U?
- Thread starter L~A
- Start date
Resident Evil 4 worked very well with pointer controls.
I believe they started working on it early this year, so we probably won't know before a little while. All we know is that it's a AAA game from a renown publisher.
I'm not sure about Pointer Controls, but Splatoon does have Gyro Aiming with the Gamepad, which should work equally well, if not better for a 3rd Person Shooter.
However, I'm not sure if Wiimote Gyros are gonna be used. Shouldn't be a problem, though.

It's more likely they'll announce it for play store then for wiiu. Nintendo consoles are dead.

I'd imagine it's coming for sure. This always happens, they stay quiet and out of nowhere announce it.
Plus, no way would they have updated Black Ops 2 if it wasn't coming out. I figure it's just a sign of things to come.
I'm interested to check it out on the Wii U whenever the price drops.

I don't think Advanced Warfare is coming honestly. The code doesn't mean much. I do hope we actually get Die Rise and the Turned mode for Black Ops 2.
If that's come true, I wonder why Activision is hiding Wii U COD's thus far. Black Ops 2 has a reason for appearance at Nintendo conference, but Ghost was also announced at very late timing.
Announce at the same time is better, actually MORE EFFICIENT than any other options. I don't understand activision's thinking.

I'd buy it on the wii u cause there isn't any stupid online subscription needed. And maybe pc if it has dedicated server browsers.

Yep. Either it's coming, or they're trolling us hard...

I hope they don't just port the PS3/ 360 version over. Wii U deserves more than that.

Most likely it'll be either Treyarch porting the PS360 version or nothing.

Still no Wii U mention for CoD. Chances it is skipping Wii U this year are rising...

Will buy because I love Nintendo and want them to stay in the gaming industry.
I grew up with them, and I will die with them.

You should invest in their stocks.
Chances are slim to none.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking before gamescom. Thought it had a chance to be announced Monday or yesterday after the multi-player reveal, and that if it wasn't the chances should be considered extremely slim. That's where it appears we stand now.
Too bad the last bastion of pointer controlled shooter controls appears to be going away.

Actually announcing at different times gives it more coverage and publicity

I think that effect is probably negligible. Especially when that "different" time is many months later. Also reinforced the Wii U's perceived status as a second class citizen.
Anyway, the only reason I'll say there's still a small chance is the lack of a denial. I'm sure some outlets have asked for comment by now, and Activision has evidently not said anything.
With the Wii U's catastrophic sales I have no idea why you were expecting anything.
Nintendo is the only one to blame and publishers are right to look away because they are not running a charity business.

I'm well aware of the Wii U's situation. However I'd expect you would have said the exact same thing last year regarding Ghosts. It wasn't in any way absurd to see a possibility of AW U coming, as you condescendingly imply.

Shit, I'd buy it. I still come back to the Wii U version of BLOPS 2 every now and then. The system needs more shooters.
Just so we're clear : I have nothing against Nintendo or the Wii U but it does not make an awful lot of financial sense to release your 3rd party games there. I can hardly blame Activision for not bothering at all, if AW is not planned on Wii U we can only assume Ghosts didn't do very well last year.
Every sku is weighed against the possibility of not selling enough.

Then explain why the PC gets a version of CoD every year despite its abysmal sales?

Hey, I like having money, thank you.
Do you have solid numbers on PC (retail + digital) to back up your claim ?
No license fees and Activision making money on it.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
PC version sells well considering it's mostly digital. IDK where you are getting this opinion from.
I'd really be interested in one day finding out what the fuck is up with how Activision have treated this franchise on Nintendo consoles two generations in a row. It's kind of mind boggling, especially when, on Wii at least, it proved fairly successful despite Activision pretending like it didn't exist.

Yeah, the Wii U versions may (MAY) beat PC at retail. But PC undoubtedly does most of its numbers digitally, whereas Wii U does zero for any Activision games (not on eshop).
What are average online populations like for PC on Ghosts and BO2 lately? That would be another indicator.

From the many NPD threads that grace this site every month. It's (PC) sales are always behind the Wii U's.

Excluding digital.

Of course.
Yeah, I cant figure it out and it bugs me.
What´s the situation between pointer controls vs auto-aim?
I mean, i missed the last Call of Duty games on WiiU, but they let you choose between gamepad and wiimote, right?
I only played the Wii CODs, so i can say that i love the pointer controls....
...and that i dont know how the auto-aim situation works on COD
But dont the dual analog auto-aim kinda kills the wiimote crowd?
I remember i tried Wii´s Goldeneye online with some friends one day, and the guy playing it with classic controller was destroying everybody.
While we were carefuly trying to aim he just needed to press the ads button to lock on us and kill anyone in a second.

1. Yes, it does.
2. No, they don't. In fact in some crowds (Youtube CoD Wii/Wii U community) the wiimote is considered so OP that DA users have to use AA to compensate.
Don't really need to go look for it in the css file, the icon sprite contains the logo. It's probably there just in case. On the other hand, why make sure you can add the logo on the site when there's no chance you're gonna need it, right..?
they probably copypasted the platform logos and the css parts from an older microsite
So why focusing on retail only when gauging profitability ?
I hope for Wii U only owners that the next COD will come out on your platform but Activision does not seem in a hurry to announce it.

TBH I doubt PC cod's recent sales are all that impressive. I mean ghosts had free weekends and sales fairly quickly.
