Crysis 3 won't receive a Wii U version, it has been confirmed.
Despite being a "possibility" last year, CEO and founder of Crytek Cevat Yerli said "there is no Wii U version" due to a lack of "business drive" between publisher EA and Nintendo.
"There has been discussions between Nintendo and EA and Crytek, but the bottom line is that there is that there's not enough business drive in it," he told Digital Spy.
"It's a purely business decision. I'd love to see it on Wii U, but what I love to see and what gets done at the end of the day are two different things. Even so, I could initiate it but someone has to sell it, right?"
Yerli added: "It's a business decision between EA and Nintendo. If that business decision doesn't make sense, or seems to not make sense for them, it's... not possible for us to make it. We can't publish ourselves, and that's the bottom line."
Battlefield Bad Company 2, Dead Space 2, Crysis 3, and a handful other EA games have finally had their online services shut down.
I had no idea that Bad Company 2 was still running, and only now that I know, I want to jump on! 😥
BF1943 is the only online MP game that I was genuinely interested in. Been playing since launch 14 years ago. Hate that I couldn't put in as much time to play as I'd hoped for during the final week.
Dead Space 2...... I wasn't even aware that had multiplayer. Nevermind that it was apparently one of their best multiplayers!
Dead Space 2 multiplayer had been hanging on for years - I'd boot my PS3 up to see some familiar names in lobbies. This will definitely be missed!
MP1st talks to Crytek about Hunt: Showdown's success, future title updates, inspiration behind weapons and more.
Crytek gives an update on their new Crysis game, confirming that it's still in development, with more to share down the road.
That's awesome. So how long till the studio closes and everyone gets fired?
That sucks, this would have proved the power of the Wii U.
Well this pretty much proves the EA Nintendo fallout Rumor. Sad as the developers wanted to make it happen but the publisher didn't. I see this happening a lot next gen with Wii U.
Isnt the wii u supposed to have all kinds of core game support? smh i knew it wasnt.. If i was the man with the money, i too would see it as a risk of not selling well there.. People who want to play games like this already have consoles to play it on.. I doubt wii u is the only choice for people..
Who cares,Craysis is a medicore franchise.
A graphic benchmark, nothing more.
This is going to be a problem for Nintendo this yr and definitely beyond especially when PS4/720 arrive. Publishers don't think it's worth porting over. This is like the Wii to a certain extent all over again.
