Wii U Blog: Gearbox talks about Aliens: Colonial Marines on the Wii U

Brian Martel, the co-founder of Gearbox Software has shared a couple of ways Aliens: Colonial Marines will be different on the Wii U.

If you happen to be clamouring for the best graphics, you’ll be happy to hear that “you’re going to see textures at a resolution that you haven’t seen on [the current] generation.”

Martel admits though that its the controller that makes him and his team the most excited to work with the platform. So what are they working on?

Turning the Wii U controller into the motion tracker from the Alien movies. This has been discussed previously.
Placing sentry gun information on the controller.
Creating a HUD-less environment.

That last one is not set in stone, it seems. But the way Martel talks about it makes it sound like a strong possibility to be in the final game.
