Forums - Nintendo - Geoff Keighley says Unreal Engine 4 wont run on Wii U

@pokemonbrawl. It does matter, and Nintendo will have UE4 either way.



Around the Network

I'd like to echo that its not about having great "grafix" its about getting those 3rd party games, so that nintendo fans don't have to buy multiple consoles...The Wii was free money, and if its true Ninty isn't future proofing their U console with a 1 year head start, is a true fail. Forget handhelds, what happened with 3DS is different than home systems...Nintendo again should come out with a $350-400 console, including wii remote plus & nunchuk along with a multi mini games pack in. Nintendo has to differentiate itself enough to steal the bored PS360 gamer, and hope to keep them...If not, then those fans will patiently wait for SonySoft's new machines.

Dont -uckin disappoint me Nintendo gotdammit, I got $700 stashed aside at launch with your name on it, our wallets are ready, do whats right and future proof the sumbitch, or else I'll (we'll) trade it in the following yr for the PSQuad/720.



^Finally a Ninty fan talking some sense!



Larry the Cable Guy? ^



just making sure but at this point the Wii U Not Running UE4 is just speculation at this point as Epic says They have not said their plans for the Wii U and that no console has been announced other then the PC

The Unreal Engine 4 will not be in no Next-Gen console.

That's what they said in origin, you know why: because as the modern technology it has to be a console that costs more than 1500$ because of the 1tb of cpu of the modern consoles, probably 2 or 3 on the WiiU considering IBM of now, it requires 10tb of cpu, they are running it only with like 1 supercomputer they have done for this.

How can you talk about a thing in realistic manner when it's impossible to have right now.

th, not tb of cpu.

i have no clue what you are talking about but it is terrahertz^^



It looks like they are concentrating on making UE4 a high end engine focused on computers, at least for its initial release. This is judging from what they done with UE3. And they have taken UE3 and fit it on iOS enabled devices. Also if the three new consoles are close in power as current rumor seem to indicate, if UE4 comes to one it sould find its way onto all three. But I don't see UE4 immediatly becoming available for consoles it will spend time as a high end computer only engine for a year or so after launch.

In addition judging from this past gen. The Wii-U will have 3rd party ports from PS3/360 for it first year until the developers get a feel for the hardware. So it isn't nessary to have UE4 up and running on Wii-U of the bat, but UE3 would be the best choice for quick ports.

And as Sony and Microsoft bring out their new consoles they will be treated with Wii-U ports so about at this time we may see UE4 preping for console release. Because it benifits the industry and Epic games the most.

Dude, where the hell did you get this shit?



*reads title*
I already assumed that UE4 would, at the least, would start out exclusively for high-end PCs, then trickle down to consoles later in Gen 8.
