Usually the Wii U isn’t associated with being a graphic powerhouse, so the fact that when Sonic Boom was announced to be using the Crytek 3 engine, people took notice. What was once considered “unbelievable” on the system, the trailer for Sonic Boom looked like it could easily be on the PS4 or Xbox One, but was exclusively for Wii U. Now, new details are emerging that the standard Crytek 3 engine actually couldn’t handle Sonic Boom.

 

i absolutely agree.   all the focus on indie titles show there really is a place on ps4 and xbone for non-AAA games.  i mean, surely you aren't saying this is even in the same ballpark to this or this...

Wow, I must have missed that part when I was reading the article(this is just copyed and pasted). I would have cut that part out. While the game does look impressive, I wouldn't compare it with the PS4.

no big, just because you post and article doesn't mean you have to agree with all (or any) of it.  i just thought that statement was absurd.
