    Epic Games implies that Unreal Engine 4 will not be on Wii U.Unreal Engine 4 for PC and next gen consoles PS4&XBOX720.Better luck next time Nintendo.

    "Epic Games is working on Unreal Engine 4, it's next-gen game engine for the PC and consoles. While many expect it to show up on the Playstation 4 and next Xbox, a statement from CEO Tim Sweeney in an interview released on Monday appears to imply that it won't be available for Nintendo's upcoming Wii U console.

    When asked by Gamasutra about how he was feeling about the Unreal Engine 4, Sweeny said, "[W]e're starting a behind-closed-doors showing of the engine to developers; this is part of our very early ramp-up cycle. We went through this cycle with Unreal Engine 3 starting in 2003 and 2004. At some point we'll make public announcements and ramp up to the point where developers are shipping games, but it's very early right now. We're aiming very high, and the intended platforms this is aimed at haven't even been announced."

    Since the Wii U has technically already been announced, that last sentence appears to have ruled Nintendo's next console out.

    Epic has previously stated that it expects launch games for next-gen console to run on Unreal Engine 3 but is working to have Unreal Engine 4 ready on day one."

    Obviously not be, like none of the 3rd party true next gen titles

    None of those can run on PS3 level hardware

    Xbox 720 with the 16 CPUs and 2 GPU will be the ideal platform for UE4 and Gears 4

    My PS3, PS3 game collection and Kinect.

    LMAO, so now even a highly respected dev like EPIC games is denying the WiiU being next gen.

    I bet sheep will call them nobodies as well lol. Just face it sheep, you're buying a 360/PS3 7 years too late.

    Erm.

    Since when did that above statement imply that Wii U won't or can't support it? There's a big difference between something being aimed at, and something being ignored completely - especially when we have little idea of Wii U's specs.

    Sloppy.

    Epic obviosuly knows the specs and they say it wont run UE4 in its true form and how they target to look like

    So, WiiU is off the game

    Obviosuly xbox 720 is the system they are talking about, Gears 4 is defnatly coming, 6-7 million sales is not small thing
