Not going to happen, Broski

this sounds like more of what you want or hope happens

Sums it up quite nicely. However, the WiiU seems to have 1G reserved for the OS, so you end up with 1G for game software, video memory and driver stuff. Even if we allow 2G for OS on the other new consoles, the WiiU actually has only about 1/6 the memory for games. You end up counting bytes on the WiiU as developers are doing now on the PS3/X360, and this "How-can-we-save-a-few-bytes-thinking" is not a good sign for things to come. Once the new consoles are out, I can see developers and buyers leaving WiiU in droves.

Because UE4 is only on next gen consoles and PC.

It isn't coming to PS360 either.

Seriously... Am I the only one that was not that impressed with the demo to begin with....? I was more impressed with that dragon game that Sony showed with the PS4 reveal.

OP: Did they ever even say what was "scaled down" on the PS4? All I see is a bit more particles and light effects...

True. WiiU being able to handle UE4 is just positive for third parties. But if star wars 1313 was being made on UE3, I guess a lot of devs will not jump to UE4 but until late on the gen.

Star Wars 1313 didnt really need UE4...it was following in Uncharteds footsteps. It was going to be a cooridor shooter with a lot of platforming, shooting, basically everyting Uncharted is redressed as Star Wars.Disney pulled the rug from under the development though but wants the licensing rights to it.

Pretty sure epic has their hand in Sony's pocket or they would be touting the new MS console as well. The video cards within the systems are similar PS4/next box/Wii U. The engine could run on the Wii U fine. It's designed to be scalable to most devices so this is all BS from epic and Rein about it not running on the Wii U. The GPU is the backbone of every gaming system and the Wii U's is fine.

The quote you quoted isn't correct btw. More cores doesn't mean more power. And if the clock speed performance for the chips are similar (we really have no real reference on this) between the Wii U (1.24ghz) and the PS4 (1.6ghz) then it isn't much of a leap at all actually. Also, the video cards are NOT vastly superior in the PS4 over the Wii U. What the PS4 does have going for it though is that it is using newer architecture, but that also means that the price will be reflected in that. The Wii U likely used older but updated architecture to keep the cost down, plus it is actually a hybrid of technology. People have said it looks like a Radeon rv7xx chip (radeon 4800 series chip). This could be true although the Wii U's uses a smaller die size which means you should be able to get more performance per watt as well as have less issues with heat. These chips were actually VERY good only a couple years ago and that was just as they were, with some tweaking and the smaller die size puts it right in competative midrange graphic capabilities to todays standards but with a much lower cost then latest technology. The PS4 uses a GPU that is new technology and supposed to be the equivelant of a just under 200 dollar GPU, but on an APU (CPU + GPU on same die) however with it being an APU it shares resources. In the end we will just have to wait and see what both are capable of because most of this is conjecture and theories.
