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

I hope this new engine enhanced better gameplay. I grow tire only being show how real the game look, then end up playing a mediocre game.



Don’t follow the hype, follow the games

Here a little quote I want for those to keep memorize in your head for this coming next gen.

Nintendo E3 conference preview:


LMAO

Honestly though, the wii U will do fine. It sold 60k this weak just some randoms games (monster hunter/Lego city) came out for it. Once Mario Kart and Windwaker is here it will sell at a good pace.

Those are random? MH is massive (or was it a port or something?) and Lego City has been hyped quite a lot and been received very well. Obviously the ninty franchises are giants, but the GC and N64 has those and never thrived so I wouldn't be so confident. 



this demo is mind blowing!!! so freaking good!! its just as good as cg movies today! wonder what kind of gig is it running on.

Wii-U not "next gen" confirmed, as all sensible people stated already and as all desperate people denied.

Was plain as day already.

This is not a fanboy comment but people really need to stop taking things so personally and acting so precious. Some of us take a genuine interest in the hardware and couldn't give a monekys if it is or isn't next gen on a defensive personal level! The Wii-U will surely receive some top games during it's lifetime including the usual Nintendo greats, that isn't in question.

I'm very pleased a top developer from a top development company that's respected has finally come out and said it. It should even help with the "is Wii-U next gen" threads.

Good all round for everyone :)

*I have a Wii-U, (have every console except Vita) and take no delight in this announcement but do take delight in clearing up the mystery.

Amen!

seriously, what the fuck are you expecting. this is like real life. when a smart ass tries over and over again to proof everyone wrong and make people feel bad for their opinion, of course they will get defensive.

Honestly, I think Nintendo should partner with a tech company to create a device that's able to add more ram and specs to the Wii U. Not on the Wii U ,but the PS4 and 720 as well. Consoles are already seen as cheap gaming PCs, eventually its going to happen and I think Microsoft is going to tackle this idea first as Sony and Nintendo follow.

I don't want to see Nintendo go out of the console buisness, because it'll be very bad for the industry. I want all three consoles to succeed, I find it mean spirited to see people wanted a company to fail for their enjoyment. Remember folks, its fun to have little petty flame wars from time to time ,but don't forget ,there are actually people working at these companies who jobs can be one the line at these difficult times.

This the industry at it's best in being immature. It was very unprofessional of him to say it in the way he said it. (not because he said it, so don't jump the gun)

I don't think its what he's saying as much as the way he's saying it. Rational people can see the Wii U isn't going to be on par with the next Xbox/PS4, but the guy didn't have to laugh outright at the question he was asked. Makes him seem petty and unprofessional.

Fair comment, although I do disagree as I would take his comment in context of discussing hardware. I think my comment with the term "precious" is relevant here. He's a hardware guy, his job is to get the best out of hardware available and will therefore be somewhat of a geek. If someone asked my views of AMD CPUs I would make a similar comment to him in his position.

Have to bear in mind that just because these people make games doesn't mean they give a flying F (sorry but I really mean it that strongly) about "gamers", games consoles - in the precious sense or anything of the kind.

People need to understand and think outside the box, these ARE professional people, they just don't live computer games, they live coding computer games, very different things.

I think the only people who are offended would be people who have an un-natural association with the Wii-U/Nintendo. I could see exactly the same reacting if he said the same thing about a Microsoft/Sony product too...Too precious, too much personifying games consoles, and thus essence of fanboyism.

This is a gaming website, so it's natural that there will be a disproportiantely high number of people who are offended because obviously there will be a lot more closet fanboys around than at say, a book club.

This is just another angle, I don't feel too strongly on it all to be honest and it's more of a social observation than anything. At the end of the day, he's slagging of an inanimate object. Is that a terrible thing?

EDIT - Just to be clear here, I'm not calling you a fanboy, but talking of the general sentiment regarding people's feelings on these comments and where those sentiments are originating from.



In my most honest opinion, this entire industry as a whole is trying to destroy Nintendo.......not to mention I also blame it on Hiroshi Yamauchi, Iwata's, predecessor. This is my reason to why/how Nintendo is not getting the support they used to get.....

Ever since he took the throne (since 1949) he made the company very successfull. With the exception of the Virtual Boy (which drove the legendary Gunpei Yokoi away). But when the N64 was relaesed, he should've resigned (IMO). Not only did his team made it difficult to program for, but he alienated many third parties who argued with him about the n64's difficulties; btw they were very successfull with Nintendo previously. Losing FF was one of the most famous losses.

But the old timer was only making it worse when his company released the GC. Thankfully he resigned but the damage was done. This was when Mr. Iwata (new president) started patching things up with the third party co. So the gamecube was still able to get some third party support. Now that this industry is getting more expensvie, Nintnedo could be in DEEP trouble since they don't have anything else to fall back to in terms of covering heavy profit losses. They're putting pressure on them to come up with something better every generation. Because of that, if they come up with a console like the PS4, they could face serious losses which they can't afford in the long term. Its true what they say.......somebody just wants to see the world crash and burn (except in the world of Nintnendo)

The day Nintendo leaves, is the day I quit gaming (well I'll stop playing the latest sotware, I'll still continue retro gaming)

Sean Malstrom says it differently and much better about how this indutry is going to fall.

Not sure I follow?

At the end of the day he's stated his opinion in a somewhat boistrous fashion, but his job isn't one of an "ambassador to video games". He can say what he damn well likes imo, and he's damn well qualified to say it. Why would this annoy people? I realize my view isn't going to be popular here and I'm defo in the minority but it's a reasoned opinion and has merit I feel. Just discussion, not meaning to wind anyone up here :)

So can someone tell me 'what' works now?

FB3 is out
UE4 is out

Cryengine?
Luminous?
Fox?

Any word on them?

Crytek had CryEngine 3 already running on WiiU, but I think it's time for CryEngine 4 soon. another 2 years at most.

WiiU could get Homefront 2. Another Crysis game will probably use the new engine to show the new power and the next Darksiders (if they get the license) or whatever that team is doing at the moment won't be finished during the next 24 months either.
TimeSplitters 4... well let's better not talk about that.



I really doubt the Wii U can handle the particle effects and the physics running on it's hardware at even 1/4th the efficiency with UE4 mountain tech demo anyways. Think about it, if the PS4 has issues running the mountain tech demo at their target PC level already, then how does it make any sense for it to run on the Wii U? They might as well port the assets into UE3 and mod the engine which would make more sense.
