Unreal Engine 4 pretty much ruled out for Wii U
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
Wii U can run Unreal Engine 3 just fine. But Unreal Engine 4? That’s out of the question.
When asked if Unreal Engine 4 would be possible on the system, Epic co-founder Mark Rein said:
“Hahaha no. I mean, sorry, it’s not really a correct answer. We’re not… we have Unreal Engine 3 for the Wii U. Right? And Unreal Engine 3 is powering all kinds of amazing games, still lots of games are being made with Unreal Engine 3. We announced today about a new Unreal Engine 3 license. Unreal Engine 3 doesn’t disappear because of Unreal Engine 4. But our goal for Unreal Engine 4 console-wise is next-gen consoles. That’s really what our energies are focused on. If you want to make a Wii U game, we have Unreal Engine 3, and it’s powering some of the best games on the Wii U already. Nothing controversial, guys.”
Given that a good amount of games will be making use of Unreal Engine 4 and other high-tech engines going forward, the Wii U may end up receiving even less third-party support in a couple of years than it is now. Still, I don’t think that many will be surprised by Rein’s remarks.
