Forums - Gaming - Epic confirms: Unreal Engine 4 is NOT coming to Wii U

Time for us WiiU owners to crawl into one side of the forums and make an Official WiiU thread.

Making it into the one of the biggest threads. (I can actually see this happening soon)



http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/profile/92109/nintendopie/ Nintendopie  Was obviously right and I was obviously wrong. I will forever be a lesser being than them. (6/16/13)

So can someone tell me 'what' works now?

FB3 is out
UE4 is out

Cryengine?
Luminous?
Fox?

Any word on them?

As far as I know, CryEngine 3 runs on the Wii U. I have a hard time believing Fox & Luminous will come though, unfortunately.

Square Enix
Ubisoft
Activision
2K

These are some of the publishers who have already purchased UE4 licenses. Ouch


That one worries me.

I'm guessing they'll use Luminous for future KH and FFs. So there's still some hope there. The UE4 license is most likely for Eidos games.

Well Cryengine is definitely good news then. I think Luminous..at least a scaled version will make it over too. Not sure about FOX

I do not give a shit for UE4. All I want is great games that are coming / will come.

I think I said it a few months ago, but this again is a prime example of what the industry thinks about Nintendo. It's just the way things are. Nintendo is going to have a tough time ever being taken seriously by the current industry leaders.


and why is that?  Is it because 18 of the top 20 selling games of all time on any platform are Nintendo brand.  I bet they all wich that they had Nintendo's "magic".....



Stop hating and start playing.

It was expected and partially Nintendo's fault to launch a really underpowered console again.
Now only chance for Nintendo garnering 3rd party support without money-hatting is more in-house engines for the next gen software that will make appearance on WiiU since none of UE4 powered games will.
And it seems to be the case, there are already a lot of in-house engines announced, I think we won't see as much UE4 games as UE3 ones. But it's only speculation and guesses. For now it looks like Wii amount of 3rd party support again.

To be blunt, I'd be a bit surprised if the Wii U saw even Wii-levels of support.

Wii got tons of 3rd party support, but it was mostly terrible work from unknown teams. Even Bethesda released games on wii...

What game on a Nintendo platform, that launched side by side with other versions (NOT CoD BLOPS2) and wasn't gimped in any way didn't sell well? Soul Calibur 2 on GC outsold the PS2 version. CoD 3 on Wii, despite being gimped outsold the PS3 version. People learned their lession about CoD on Wii after that though...

Link sold that one.

You're not answering my question.



I LOVE ICELAND!
