Wii U GamePad latency only 1/60 of a second says Rayman creator

The creator of Rayman says the GamePad is more than responsive enough.


There have been rumors that the GamePad suffers from latency, but according to Rayman creator Michel Ancel, the latency is just 1/60 of a second. Here is what he told Nintendo Power regarding the matter:

“And I think this is where Nintendo is really out in front of things. The technology inside the controller is quite a bit more advanced than what people might think. It’s really responsive. The response time is crazy, in fact, and I think the competitors will need some time to [get their solutions] this responsive.

“It’s crazy because the game is running in full HD [on the television], we are streaming another picture on the GamePad screen, and it’s still 60 frames per second. And the latency on the controller is just 1/60 of a second, so it’s one frame late. It’s crazy, it’s so fast. It’s almost instant. That’s why it responds so well. So it can be used as a real game-design thing.”
