The full response can be found below. "RT @Michael_French @MarkRein So that means you're supporting Wii U? <--No announcement to make today but let's just way "Water meet fish"" Will the Wii U get Epic Games support?

Posted June 8, 2011 Rumours are going around that they actually developed that demo video with the bird. Makes sense after reading the water/fish quote and seeing what happened in the video. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 8, 2011 Don't Epic's tech demos usually end up turning into games? I have no idea. I was just posting what was circulating on various boards last night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 8, 2011 (edited) Rumours are going around that they actually developed that demo video with the bird. Makes sense after reading the water/fish quote and seeing what happened in the video.Actually now you mention it, it does have that kind of look to it... like the cutscenes in Gears that show the planet before the war. I can't help think of this Gamecube tech demo though... Not even Twilight Princess (the last Gamecube game) has environments that looked that good. :p Mind you Metroid was probably the pinacle of Gamecube graphics.

Posted June 8, 2011 I'm sure in the Reggie interview he said it was developed at Nintendo of Japan Wrong, he wouldn't tell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 8, 2011 I thought he said he wouldn't tell, then when it was said "but it's Nintendo of Japan" he said yeah... Who's got the interviews? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 8, 2011 Geoff also asked if it was Retro, didn't he? Bah, I can't remember. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 8, 2011 He said it was NoJ that did Zelda, Reggie said he wasn't telling who done the bird/water demo. Same we wouldn't say if it was Retro. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 8, 2011 The "Water meet Fish" remark was a reference to him saying "If there was a Nintendo console that could handle our engine we'd be on it like water on a fish" a few months back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hell, the Bird demo doesn't look that good let alone GC games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 8, 2011 That's an FMV and the bird demo from a very early dev kit did it in real time. Not to bad I say. The one set in Japan apparently blows the one we seen out of the water. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 8, 2011 What sort of stuff is Epic Games responsible for? Ah yes... News just in, generic space marines with big guns increase their stranglehold on the games industry. Third parties + hardcore. Woot. Looks like the only RPGs we are gonna see in future are the rocket propelled variety. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 8, 2011 Don't say that! I'm saddened by the lack of RPGs at E3 this year Pesky FPS whoring. Wasn't Skyrim at E3? They definitely had a media blowout and it looked good. If they put it on the WiiU, like they did with Oblivion on the PS3 later, that would be a pretty big RPG to go with. Also related to the thread: Mass Effect is based on the Unreal 3 engine. That's another other RPG series of recent years. MS has the (publishing?) rights to the first (or something), but a ME collection containing 2 and 3 for the WiiU? Especially after EA pledged their support, that doesn't sound too unlikely. Of course, by the time the WiiU is out, these will be "old" games. Still, there should be enough Nintendo customers who wouldn't mind trying them and haven't had a chance until now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 21, 2011 Has anyone on here actually ever played a Jazz Jackrabbit game? I'm assuming you, or you wouldn't have posted about the series to begin with?

Posted June 22, 2011 What sort of stuff is Epic Games responsible for? Ah yes... Third parties + hardcore. Woot. Epic Games gave us the awesome Shadow Complex, a great Metroid/Castlevania type side-scroller which I'm sure Wii fans would've loved.Has anyone on here actually ever played a Jazz Jackrabbit game?Abso-frickin'-lutely! Takes me back to my primary school days when only my mate's top of the range 75Mhz Gateway Pentium II could play games so awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
