Daft Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Sony: COST: $MILLIONS --- Nintendo: COST: £50 and a pack of cheese and onion crisps! Net effect; probably the same. Currently the difference is over 11 million views versus just under 40,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serebii Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Currently the difference is over 11 million views versus just under 40,000. Comparing a worldwide trailer, that has been out for two months, for an upcoming console with a lot of hype to a UK specific one for a released console that has been out days. Ok.

Daft Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Obviously wasn't making a straight comparison. Never thought I would have to spell that out...would it be easier if I posted posted visual aids with every post, just for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wii Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Crytek Announce New CryEngine, Wii U Supported Crytek Announces the Arrival of the New CRYENGINE® Frankfurt am Main (Germany) August 21, 2013 – Crytek have ushered in a new era for their state-of-the-art CRYENGINE technology, with the launch of the new CRYENGINE; an ever-evolving technology service, with always up to date access to the latest features in CRYENGINE for commercial game licensees. CRYENGINE users will also benefit from the coming together of Crytek’s Engine Licensing and Research & Development teams; a move designed to double the level of one-to-one care game licensees can tap into, in essence offering Crytek’s R&D as a service for developers using the new CRYENGINE. On top of these changes, the new CRYENGINE supports development on current and next generation consoles (Xbox One, PlayStation®4, and WiiU™), alongside PC, with further platforms to be added in the near future. In line with the new services, the all-in-one development solution will no longer be identified by version numbers; reflecting the fact that constant updates and upgrades are always being applied to keep CRYENGINE at the forefront of its field. Areil Cai, Director of Business Development – CRYENGINE said: "Supplying an engine is not about delivering a static piece of software. It’s about Crytek being an R&D team for our game licensees; providing the latest, greatest technology we can, all the time. As an industry, we’re all looking to deliver games as a service now – and we feel the same approach can be taken with game engines. Today's announcement reflects this progress, as well as our ongoing commitment to making sure CRYENGINE® licensees always stay well ahead of the game." Also commenting on Crytek's announcement, Carl Jones, Business Development Director at Crytek, said: "Since CryENGINE 3 was launched in 2009, we've dramatically changed the engine so many times, with so many major new features, it’s not the same engine anymore. We have revolutionised many parts of the engine: we have overhauled our entire lighting system, built movie quality character rendering and animation solutions, vastly improved the speed and effectiveness of our Sandbox editor, and even our rendering has changed with tessellation, pixel accurate displacement mapping and now physical based rendering; all of this while maintaining our first principal: that making games should be real-time, all the time. CRYENGINE is a new engine from Crytek – and it always will be!” This week also sees a major update to Crytek's free CRYENGINE® SDK; granting non-commercial users access to a raft of the new features that recently helped to make Crysis 3 a visual benchmark for gaming. It is two years since the launch of the free CRYENGINE® SDK. In that time, the engine has been downloaded over five million times and is used for non-commercial projects every day by a constantly growing community and more than 400 universities. The update to the free SDK will take user feedback on board and remove some restrictions, which prevented users from working offline. These changes to the CRYENGINE service are being marked with a new website which can be seen at http://www.cryengine.com. Over time, the site will grow to offer new options for game developers, and will ultimately become the central hub for all official CRYENGINE content online. http://www.crytek.com/news/crytek-announces-the-arrival-of-the-new-cryengine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamba Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Maybe adding Wii U support is their way of saying "fuck you Unreal"? Lucky move for Nintendo and the Wii U. Still wouldn't surprise me if no-one outside of Crytek bothered porting though. It wouldn't surprise me if the cost of testing the different SKU alone counters any justification of release aside from maybe a digital one. For now anyway.

Dcubed Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Good to see that not everyone has given up on Wii U yet Even if none of the big publishers use Cryengine for any Wii U retail titles, a good few indies are bound to use it (Shadow of the Eternals is one example).

Serebii Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Now that's more like it. I saw this article earlier, and it particularly clarifies things, and this has been exampled by Crytek before in regards to Crysis 3. Developers want to develop for the Wii U, but publishers are saying no. It's the same in regards to the 3DS despite the 3DS doing well, so there's definitely an anti-Nintendo thing going on...it's the only explanation "It's kind of a sad thing to say, because for a long time n-Space has been known as a Nintendo-friendly developer. We certainly have loved all our time working with them. We think their hardware's great. We think more often than not they have the right mindset in the difficult game world we live in...There's just very low demand right now for their work through the publisher side. Which is ironic, I think that'll probably swing back. The news was just talking about how Nintendo was beating everybody with hardware sales. The DS and 3DS sales curves have been slower than publishers would have liked. That may change, but I can tell you right now we're not working on anything." - CEO Dan O'Leary http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2013-08-21-publishers-dont-want-games-for-nintendo-systems-right-now-n-space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mokong Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Just seen a Disney Infinity advert on the TV and it only showed the Wii U starter pack at the end. That must have cost Nintendo a fair bit.... could explain the lack of a marketing budget in those "Wii U Difference" vids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All this anti Nintendo talk is fans refusing to accept that the wii u is bombing. Publishers don't give up the chance to make money. As for not supporting 3DS, simple reason is western publishers don't support dedicated handheld anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe getting more then Wii U but thats not saying much. Sorry but this idea that all the publishers got around a table and decided to boycott the Wii U is simply laughable. explain why japanese publishers are not bothered about the Wii U? Did they all decide to boycott nintendo also? Edited August 21, 2013 by khilafah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kav Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 EA are so anti-Nintendo! I do not care what anyone says, something happened which changed their relationship for the worse, definitely! I tend not to defend @Serebii as I think he's completely blinkered at times (no offence man), but I do feel that there is an anti-Nintendp agenda in the gaming industry. Not as dramatically as one would make out but still, more so than there should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blade Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) I didnt think the anti-nintendo stance from the western industry was anything new if im being honest. The Wii U being unable to sell hasnt exactly helped matters either. Edited August 21, 2013 by Blade Fucking Iphone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
