Epic further comments on lack of Unreal Engine 4 on Wii U
Posted 11 years ago by Brian in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
Epic co-founder Mark Rein has offered further insight into Unreal Engine 4’s absence on Wii U.
Speaking with IGN, Rein said:
“I just laugh at the question…Unreal Engine 4, we’re not PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, or Wii U. It’s next-gen technology. That’s what we’re aiming for.”
Unreal Engine 4 isn’t in the Wii U’s future, but Rein pointed to Unreal Engine 3 as a tool that studios can use to leverage Epic’s technology on Nintendo’s console.
“The truth is, if a developer wanted to take an Unreal Engine game and put it on Wii U, they could. Unreal Engine 3 is kicking ass on Wii U. The best games on Wii U are made on our technology. What more do you want from us?”

Ubisoft Montreal doesn’t think gamers will grow tired of Assassin’s Creed with yearly releases
Posted 11 years ago by Brian in General Nintendo, News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
Assassin’s Creed has started to become a yearly franchise for Ubisoft. Since 2009, the publisher has produced one major entry per year.
That fact brings about an intersting question: could Assassin’s Creed eventually experience franchise fatigue? Will fans soon grow tired of the series?
Ubisoft Montreal boss Yannis Mallat weighed in:
“No. The players will tell us. Right now there are more and more coming into the franchise, so I don’t see that day. It’s our breakthrough. When you have quality content, the frequency of coming out with the game is not an issue at all. On the contrary, people expect more and more of that content. So it’s natural to be able to provide that content. The gamers are happy and it’s our job to make them happy.”

Suda51 says he used to be an assassin, which is why he likes using them as characters

His words, not mine:
– Grasshopper Manufacturer’s Suda51
Well, that’s certainly a Suda-like thing to say! But of course he was joking, and I’ll admit I’m not sure I follow his reasoning for using assassins over other types of characters fully, since it sounds like a non-assassin would be equally as effective in expressing the fine line between life and death… his games are great though, so I’m just going to give him the benefit of the doubt and assume I’m missing something!
