Epic wii-u likely not strong enough of UE4, predictions on future UE titles

epic megagames has talked today about the wii-u a bit. and what they have to say is most humerous. while the wii-u is more potent that current gen systems it is still not strong enough to play UE4 games. this however doesnt stop these games from getting ported as conversion to UE3 is completely plausible. they are however refusing to comment on the plausibility of doing this for say a port to ps3 or xbox.

what this means is pc vs wii-u multiplat = pc wins (which is a bit of a case of water is wet)

and then if your willing to take an educated guess wii-u vs other consoles UE4?UE3 convert multiplay = wii-u wins

lol Wii-Underpowered.

unreal 4 was designed for next gen consoles :cool:campzor

I can see UE3 being used more than the UE4 for some years yet. The UE4 will eventually be chopped to work on WiiU. Just like CryEngine was butcherd to work on current gen consoles.

It's the Typical Epic fashion "We're not even going to attempt to put something on a Nintendo Device" talk.

Epic games are just idiots who want more power in consoles to market their games :lol:ghost115z

Or maybe they want gaming to progress, and not be stuck in 2005, stagnating? :?

Wow the wii u is still stuck using the old unreal engine when the 4th engine was made for next gen consoles:lol:

Wait, I thought they said the Wii U can handle the UE4 engine in some fashion a few days ago? Now, its been reversed and the Wii U suddenly can't run the engine and games have to be converted the UE3 engine to even play?

It seems like Epic can't make up their mind. One day, they say its possible for the Wii to handle the UE4 engine if a third party wants to use it and the next the Wii U suddenly cannot handle UE4 in any fashion.

Can't they just make up their minds? Does the UE4 engine work on the Wii U or not?

We havnt seen much of UE4. We dont have any solid details on the Wii U. Nor have we seen anything to do with any other next generation consoles.

This is all speculation for now.

Keep in mind, from everything I've read the UE4 engine is supposed to be scaleable. Which means, it can run on everything from cell phones all the way to PCs that have maxed out hardware and settings. And keep in mind, Epic has said the Wii U can handle the UE4 engine, but Epic themselves have no intrest in bringing the engine to the Wii U with their games.

And this is the fact that gets distorted and leds to fanboys either giving out poorly researched info or not bothering to care in the first place.

So here are the facts on the Wii U and the UE 4 engine

-The Wii U can handle the UE 4 engine in some fashion due to it being scalable

-While Epic has said that they personally have no interest in bringing the UE 4 engine to the Wii U, they said third-parties can do so if they wish.

-He said the Wii U has a better fit in his opinion with the UE 3 engine. That does not really mean much, outside his belief that the WIi U is closer to the PS3 and 360 in specs.

So there you have it. The Wii U can run the UE4 engine. Do we really need to keep this debate going?

UE4 is scalable, that means it can run on the Wii U, heck it can run on Ipads and probably even phones. Epic themeselves just said they aren't going to do it.

I have a feeling that this is just another troll article.

In the Wii U's defense, the Zelda demo was a playable real-time demo whilst the KZ2 demo was a CGI movie. Who knows if the final build will be as powerful as whatever ran the 2011 tech demos though.

Why are you making up thing? They said they don't intend to use UE4 on Wii U but it can be done by anyone else. How can anything not be powerful enough for UE4? It's coming to phones.

And saying that the PC titles using UE4 will blow away Wii U titles using UE4 isn't saying much. It's a fact that all Wii U/PS4/720 titles using UE4 will look better on PC.
