And thus the Cycle continues.



I'm an advocate for motion controls, Nintendo, and Kicking freaking Toad to the Moon!

Mike Capps did say that, but Nintendo apparently has upped the specs somewhat since then, so who knows?



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

I really don't care. The sooner devs stop making a game and then putting it in a stupidly expensive, bland engine which cuts off variety and inginutiy, the better.

We need more Rayman Origins and less generic shooter #275



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

I feel like Epic has made it pretty clear that UE4 is primarily going to be a super-high-end PC engine. The way they describe it, I don't see how any console made in the next few years could run that thing without being prohibitively expensive. Maybe a very, very dumbed down version of it, if you're okay with insane amounts of lag.

He tweeted it just yesterday. This basically confirms that UE4 isn't gonna be on the WiiU-U. I never really believed all these BS rumors that Nintendo upped the specs of the Wii-U (dispite me wanting to). Even Digital Foundy wrote an artical saying that it's extremely unlikely the rumors we've been hearing are true about the increase in specs.

I don't know why people tell me to get a life. I'm a gamer, I have lots of lives!

GDC was in March and Nintendo up until now says they don't want anyone talking about wii u specs. So it could still run it. It is more powerful than the other systems says gearbox.

GDC was in march, the question was about if he can hint if the wii u will have unreal engine 4, he answered no. You are reading too much into this



Andrespetmonkey on 29 May 2012

Does this mean the Wii U has lost a lot of third parties or will it take some time for everyone to transition to UE4?
Will devs be willing to do UE4 on Orbis/Durango and UE3 on Wii U? That seems like way too much work.
