Ubisoft are working on a next-gen engine, which is set to cost them 18.5 million US Dollars.

Will the Wii U be able to run the next gen engine? or is the Wii U doomed to be a 7.5 gen console :(

Ubisoft is a huge supporter of Nintendo, so I see them finding a way to make it work.

well it runs Cryengine 3 so that one down and I assume it can also run FrostBite 2 so that another one, for indies can run the next gen version of Unity and so the only one we don't know about is Unreal Engine 4.

Was just about to ask about this. Thanks!

I would hope it comes to the Wii U and I would think it will.

This was one of my biggest concerns heading into this generation.

But, the closer we get, the more i see devs pulling their heads out of their butts and abandoning the not goodly unsustainable 'every game has to be a AAA cinematic epic'.

So not only am i feeling the price hike will be much more managable than this gens, but im actually looking forward to the future destagnation of my favourite past time.

Cant wait to put this gen behind me.

Switching to completely digital distribution seems to be the way of the future, for better or worse. One boon is that higher price tags would be unjustifiable if that happens. Consequently, higher prices would probably cause immense outrage.

You'd be surprised what people willing to buy a 599 USD console will pay for games to make the purchase seem worthy.

It runs UE4. The guy said it's "extremely scalable", but the engine is not exactly made for the console.
No sig.
