What I've said earlier in the thread, the fact that Epic asked them to improve even more at GDC, because otherwise their consoles wouldn't be able to run it as Epic would like. Even if it seems that Microsoft is improving the hardware for UE4, from what we've been hearing.
But I still think UE4 will be scalable in order to run on Wii U ( which isn't absolutely a garbage like Wii was compared to PS360 )...this if 3rd party games will sell on the platform. So, yeah, Nintendo needs third parties, and they're strongly working with them this time.
I'm hoping epic is being practical and realizing that only pcs are going to be able to max out this engine at any time in the future. I would be happy knowing it can run most things at 1080p at 30fps solid especialyl considering what they have shown. Anymore and they are asking for another repeat of this generation.
The problem is especialyl from what other metnion what exactly considering the current state of pcs would be a next gen jump. Then comes the cost to how it affect consoles. I still believe a mid grade jump to next gen technology is a very good idea. This massive jump people are desiring belongs in the pc and only there. Console that win are never the best of the best or even close compared to what is out at the time.
Nah. At least it's not a more lateral movement like the Wii was from the Gamecube. I would love to play Nintendo games in HD with PS360 horsepower (or a little more). Sure, it's old tech, but I've been waiting for my Metroid/Zeldas/Marios with a legitimate power bump.
There is a huge fallacy in that argument. Wiiu is not competiting with either of the two because of ram and well R700 is two gens ahead of what the 360 had for gpu which is a lot better especially when you consider what there pc variants ran for this genreation. People wth R700 based tech are still able to game decently especially at 720p. Good luck now using a x1900 for certain games and getting the same performance as 4850. Short of nintendo bottlenecking this system it cannot be that bad or that low.
