Forums - Nintendo - Mark Rein: If 3DS could 'deliver' Unreal Engine 3, we'd be on it

Wha?

There weren't many memorable moments at Sony's E3 2005 conference so I can understand why you wouldn't remember this.

Epic was there in 2005 to show off Unreal tech on PS3 and they did it again with NGP, so it's painfully obvious why they're supporting one pony over another.

I think the Nintendo fans dont care/wont really buy  an unreal engine FPS game anyway on their 3DS.

They are in a world of their own and will just play their Wii Sleep, Wii Eat and Mario/Zelda/Cooking Mama games.

its an multiplatform HD engine, so it makes sense that it wasn't on the Wii, unless you are ignoring every news about anything other than nintendo, then you would know that Epic Games and Sony don't get along too much.

Money gets businesses to change their tone... I could give a shit about personal "beefs" Epic is in this as a business, not as some high school drama show.

Edit- Also the engine isn't "HD" nothing is just "HD" the unreal engine can produce 480p if it wanted to, FFS the iPhone isn't "HD" it's 480, going around putting the "HD" stamp on everything is just dumb, sorry but I've been peeved about this for a while, before this gen came along people that used to play in "HD" on their PCs just called it what it is, 720i, 720p, 1080i, 1080p, plus all the nice higher resolutions we have on PC now, but it means dick for games if your card can only produce 480 in a stable framerate which you can do with Unreal Engine 3

So...why don't they just try it?

OT: Damn. Well, not really. Nintendo have been fine without the unreal engine, let people complain about it. There won't be any difference really, and at least now the games will be customised for the 3DS as opposed to being straight ports, which may not feel right...



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Nobody mentioned this:

 

Its weird he says the 3ds doesnt meet standards, but they have unreal engine on the iOS.......

I just took up for Nintendo, and I don't even like them.. whats wrong with me.



As crappy as the iOS systems are, they are still lightyears ahead of the ancient tech in the 3DS. 

Most people skipped over your argument... but wtf are you smoking? You have to be kidding, right? Even if you consider the recent announcement of the iPad2 specs, you're still wrong.

Forget it. Maxwell is probably right. This has to be a joke/troll post of somekind.

Sorry to potentially continue this off topic post.

I believe people skipped it because it's so far out there that it either has to be a joke or such bad trolling no one is willing to feed him.

As a guess, there is nothing wrong with you and you "took up for Nintendo" because you see the truth about Mark Reign ...

There are lots of developers who come from a very different side of the market than Nintendo, and have very different views about how to be successful, and as a result they don't (really) have any intention to develop products for certain Nintendo platforms. If most of these developers said that they would support a Nintendo platform that matched their requirements I would believe them because they have demonstrated rationality when talking about Nintendo in the past; even those who have a legitimate reason to dislike Nintendo. On the other hand, most people know that regardless of what Nintendo produces Mark Reign will continue to bash it ...

An example of another developer is John Carmack, who has legitimate reasons to dislike Nintendo after their falling out over Quake 64. Years ago he was asked whether the Gamecube could "Handle" Doom 3 and his response was something like "In many ways the Gamecube is better suited to the Doom 3 engine than the XBox is"; which spurred the follow up question "Does this mean we will see Doom 3 ported to the Gamecube" and Carmack's response was (essentially) "no".

Totally agree.

I've never liked this guy; seems very loud-mouthed and egotistical.  It's strange that he comes from the same company as Cliff Bleszinski, who I like very much.  Totally fine with Carmack as well.  There's a difference between saying something like, "The Wii is a bit behind technologically" as Carmack once did, and the outright bashing that Reign's known for.
