Can someone explain to me what Unreal Engine 4 is? (I refuse to Google).

This but better.

[Caius Casshern Sins]

The Unreal Engine 4 is the upcoming version of the Unreal Engine. It is a game engine which will be a toolset for developers to make video games on. It is meant to be used for next gen systems.

if most games need to look good, then why is there minecraft?, anyways most sites say wiiu is going to be around 2.0 of some random number talking about graphics, ue4 requires 2.5, but there's room to bug and scale, so I still find this likely

whenever I say something in reply to off topic, I have to say something else

A few messages back, I stated that wii U should support only 1 controller with screen, as it drain lots of cpu power (1 core each controller) and 2 gpus so 1 gpu will maintain the controller screens and the other gpu, our games. As a result a native 1080p resolution for our games, with excellent performance in FPS (frame per second)... at least as an addon, for those who need more than 1 controller with screens.

And here is the news, but unfortunately not for wii U.. Next xbox 720, or netbox whatever they call it.. will come with 6 core cpu (as it needs cores for the controllers with screen), and 2 gpus!! So why nintendo never listens..

anyway.. http://mynintendonew...ease-next-year/

I mean they give us a powerful machine, equal to netbox or 720... but they decided to sacrifice the half power to the controllers, instead of finding a way to add extra power for it, even as a hardware addon.. At least, that was my point..

I mean, nintendo could support 1 controller by default and to avoid the extra hardware drain from wii U, they could release a hardware addon (a mobile gpu and cpu in a slik box), to be able support more than 1 controllers with screen... That could give us extra power for the wii U by default, and more controllers for those who want to spend more. (or wii U could have a plug n play/hot swap slot for this hardware as an upgrade, whatever)..

Remember to take everything said as a rumor and that the information is a rumor unless proven

I hate it when people accept rumours as a fact. Come on man, use your brains. NextBox will probably not be revealed before E3 2013, and new Wii U details won't surface before E3 2012/April 26th so don't draw conclussions and stuff already.

That's not how computers have to work, and it's probably far from how it will work.

[Plutonas]

lots of announcements guys... can you catch them up on time? Look a 2 new ones..

Finally Nintendo wii U will not support 2 screen controllers but one.. thats good news, in a matter of wii U power.. http://mynintendonew...er-per-console/ But I have doubts about the source.. As its the same source who said, wii U is less powerful than xbox360 and ps3.. hahahaha

That is horrible news the best Nintendo games are the multiplayer Mario ones, we need 4 controllers!!!

If its true that is, which I doubt it very much.

I think we will be able to use 2, but I want 4!

[Plutonas]

Wii U supports 4 controllers at any type, old ones or 3rd party ones.... The article refers for the screen controllers that drain LOTS of power from wii U. So no worries about marios, or any game with multiple controllers...

[Repsys7]

Yeah I know but let's be honest, these controllers are meant to be the main selling point, and it's going to give one person a very unfair advantage in multiplayer games...

Also I really doubt the controllers would use a whole core of the CPU if it's just running off the wii u hardware not its own processor!

[Hinkik]

hope so for 5850 or better 5870 chipset! It is discontinued more than a year now, after all you cant find it in the market also.. So I believe they could make a nice deal with it.

But if we are a bit realistic, 5870 is x2 of 4870 card! away to much power!... But if we try to speculate the smallest 5xxx series, 5770 (also look the power consumption! 50 less watt and much much cooler!! Also newer version of OPEN GL support).. look the results!! Its a plus! http://www.hwcompare...radeon-hd-5770/
or 5830 http://www.hwcompare...radeon-hd-5830/

There is no way it can be too much power. Devs are always trying to get that last power of the system.

I rather buy a expensive but strong console than less expensive less powerful one.

agreed

and like koopa said these are just rumor's so until e3 its all speculation and nothing more.

Lol I laugh at this since its the same dev saying the wiiu is less powerful than the 360 and because of that we can assume its worst than the 360 without the controller draining energies because of the lack of Shaderz and Powerz and it can't use 2 controllers only 1 and with only 1 one controller because its weaker than the 360 its probably only going to be able to have sub HD resolution chances are SD in most games with graphics lower than the 360 so we can assume close or possible lower than vita. (I don't believe any of this but that what you get if you take this unnamed developer word on both his leaks and information.
