"If it can use the next generation Unreal engine, publishers will undoubtedly give it at least above average support."

Although Epic will likely claim it can't without even looking at it.

What the hell are you talking about?

1. Why would Epic claim it can't if it can? A Nintendo console built up to support it can obviously support it, hence why I said they should do it. The Engine doesn't need to be tailor made per each console. Developers will tweak it where necessary.

2. It's not even up to Epic. The Unreal Engine is a gaming engine that any third party developer can use, so it's up to all of them to decide whether to use it on the Wii or not.

You're being negative just for the sake of it.

You obviously haven't heard what Mark Rein of Epic said. He said he was certain that the 3DS couldn't run UE3, and then said he hadn't even looked at a development kit for it, or even the specs.

And viper1 has even said the Wii can run UE3, so we all know he's full of it. My point is they likely would still lie just because of their attitude.

Whether Mark Rein is arrogant or not, it's up to 3rd party publishers to develop UE3 titles for the 3DS or not if it indeed can handle it. What he says doesn't matter, because Epic only develops less than 5% of all UE3 games released. If developers get the dev kits and realize Unreal Engine 4 is more than capable on it, why would they turn down utilizing the tech, because they're loyal to Mark Rein and Epic? The bottom line is, if Nintendo makes their next console easily portable from PC developed software, the third party support will show up. Let's not forget the only reason Nintendo lost it to begin with was because they tried to limit third parties in one way or another.

Secondly what is viper1's credentials in regards to this? Is this person a developer that worked on UE3 and the Wii and saw it to be possible? How much of the engine could the Wii handle according to him?

Because third parties are lazy, and if Epic refuses to provide the support for the platform on their end with the engine, it'll end up much like Wii again, with one Unreal-based game adapted by a third party itself.

This will be a fascinating study into the depths of Epic's bias, really. If Epic decides not to, then it will become impossible to easily port many PS360 games over, and they could singlehandedly ban third-party parity
