It may have the possibility of being the first Sonic in years that is good enough to convince me to get it.And here's the first picture.What do you think about it?

DirectX 11 confirmed it seems:

That's curous; Wii U  GPU does have DX10/11 equivalent features, but it doesn't actually use the Direct X API. Maybe the devkits do and they're using some sort of middleware?

Since it's running on CryEngine 3, maybe if the GPU is SM 5.0 compatible it's automatically labeled as DX11? Because if you read the entire thing you can see the engine mentioning "DX11 Profile", not DX11 itself.
