This week at the Game Developers Conference, Epic Games took their usual opportunity to show off the latest developments in their whiz-bang Unreal graphics technology. In addition to the shooty/demonic demos in futuristic/fantasy settings, one of the most touted features of the engine was that it can scale from next-gen consoles like the PlayStation 4 all the way to mobile devices and even web browsers. Which raises the question: If the Unreal Engine 4 is so scalable, can it run on Nintendo's still-new Wii U?
Nintendo Has Acquired Shiver Entertainment From Embracer Group
Great news it shows that Nintendo intends to continue developing ports of AAA games to its next gen platform
Buying studios from embracer now is a great deal, they must be dirt cheap at this point, Nintendo is a opportunist, they wait until someone fall so they get their best deal
I hope someone buys Piranha Bytes, their future isn't looking good right now. I love their RPGs, they're janky as f***, but they have heart and soul.
Nintendo saw the Mortal Kombat 1 Switch port and were like, "Yeah, these guys are worth acquiring."
You can't make this crap up lol
Epic Games is facing a $1.2 million fine by the Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets over "unfair practices" in the Fortnite shop.
It might be cheaper to simply pay the fine. Fighting said fine could cost millions due to court and lawyer fees. Fortnite generates well over a 100 million in each month, so Epic has plenty of cash.
I'd fight back too. These are kinda meaningless reasons to fine someone like really for THAT. It's like they just wanted to make money or something.
Game developers have already started to confirm that they will support the Nintendo Switch 2 with their future titles.
Well that's a bomber. The Wii U has definetly been the down grader and Nintendo have to do something to step the system up, but people should of seen this coming, spec wise I do not think that the Wii U could even handle the engine
lol like they dont know what they are doing
Wii-U can't run UE4 because it's on par with PS3 and 360 hardware wise
wii u GPU does not support dirext 11. And unreal engine 4 is based on directx 11, and can not be scaled down to direct x 10,1 level

Well of course it won't. If the PS3/360 can't handle it (yes, that'd been confirmed that they cannot handle it) then the Wii U can't handle it either.
