Every time I see one of your posts, I think "Oh look, Viper1 posted some real and relevant information and knowledge that is gonna get ignored by everyone so they can keep their bashing and hating"

And it just happened like that in this thread /:

Maybe devs can export their UE4 games to UE3 for the Wii U. All the game assets will work with UE3 just the same as UE4. The only difference is the engine isn't as advance, but there are ways to add effect into UE3 to make up for anything it lacks compared to UE4.

I don't know enough about the engines to know if this is possible, but it seems plausible to me.

Ditto. But that's every message board ever. People flock to the senseless, sensational stuff and ignore the sane guy in the room that requires a modicum of rationale to get what he's saying.

Seems like that would be more work than just downscaling in UE4.

But to run UE4 on Wii U they have to port UE4. That sounds like a big task. But it would pay off in the long run.

You probably know more about engines and game coding than me, so I'm just trying to apply it in my head with the best sense I can. I would think keeping it in UE4 would allow a dev to keep the same code and make tweaks as needed, whereas going to an older engine would require a bigger overhaul and may involve different language (again, I'm just talking out of my ass here, so don't mind me).

Can someone put this to rest.

If Epic refuses to port their engine onto wiiu, or use their engine --whatever the 'term' is... How are any games that use UE4 going to make it onto wiiu? They aren't... that's what I'm taking away from this announcement. I'm not interested in the minutia of "how it can possibly happen in the foreseeable future" I'm interested in the FACTS.

If EPIC has refused to allow their engine onto wiiu --that means that no future UE4 game will make it onto the platform. So nintendo's only hope is to either pay out, or hope UE4 isn't licensed by many developers?

I can't hear you. LALALALLALALA

You want it put to rest, read the posts I've aleady typed.

FACT: UE4 can be ported on Wii U.
FACT: UE4 developed games can be ported to Wii U.
FACT: Epic will not officially port the engine themselves at this time as they are trying to sell the high margin UE3 engine and keep UE4 resource and support minimal.
FACT: Any developer with a UE4 license is granted the rights to port that engine to any device they can which includes Wii U.
FACT: Porting to Wii U won't be difficult.  UE4 is a multi-core/programmable shader based game engine.  Just like the architecture in the Wii U.
FACT: Way too much misinformation, ignorance, FUD, Trolling (yes, I used the damn word because it's true), hate, etc...on this forum for the past year.

No, I think the Maxwell guy is right.

FACTT: Epic will definitely put it in the T&Cs of their UE4 contracts that explicitly forbids any developer to even think about running the UE4 engine on the WiiU.
FACT: They will then spent considerable time and resources patrolling their licensees to check that they do not break this T&C.
FACT: Anyone wanting to use the UE4 engine on the WiiU will have to at least pay a 100% surcharge on the UE4 engine price.
FACT: This is all sarcasm of course.
