...the 3DS Smash Bros is supposed to come out this year? I thought it hadn't even started development?


Probably going to call fake on this one.

Well development started earlier last month after Kid Icarus went gold, but yeah no way it's coming out in a year.

Still I wouldn't doubt a 3DS DK in the works, seems natural.

God Caterkiller, I'm hoping, so hoping, what you're saying about UE4 on Wii U is true. I'm pretty sure the Wii won't be gangbusters compared to X720 and PS4, but if it was JUST barely powerful enough to be a sort of minimum-level spec to the next-gen engines like UE4, then by god that sounds powerful enough for 90% of the games out there!

I have utter faith in my source. A long history with said person, so it's wasn't just hear say. I just decided to keep the conversation to myself for now. But just after getting back from San Fran, this person didn't even realize I cared for or even knew of the UE since all I play is nothing but Nintendo consoles. But I must have made my source clarify like 3 times, "Will Wii U utilize UE4?" to which several replies of "yes Unreal Engine 3 and Unreal Engine 4."

What other major next-gen engines are out there that will be contemporary to UE4? Frostbite 2?

Hmmm I don't even know what that is. To be honest I thought Frostbite was a game it's self. I can check for other stuff, but UE4 was the only thing I thought mattered.

I think an interesting twist would be that Nintendo enters into an agreement to relicense the UE4 Engine like what they are doing with Havoc and Autodesk.  Making an effective defacto standard which allows Nintendo to effectively drop the development cost of HD Games.

Awesome news, Caterkiller. I hope your source doesn't get mad at you if they found out you told us.

Hmmm I don't even know what that is. To be honest I thought Frostbite was a game it's self. I can check for other stuff, but UE4 was the only thing I thought mattered.

It's the engine used for the current Battlefield, and Medal of Honor games: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frostbite_Engine

I'm going to assume that UE4 is intended for DirectX 12 and up which would be quite a leap from 11.

CryEngine is another one of those things that's heavily speculated to be supported, but nowhere near confirmed or even rumored about right?

Probably going to call fake on this one.

Just because it's not likely to come out this year probably wouldn't stop GameStop from collecting that money ahead of time locking you into a future purchase (even if that future purchase is about 1.5+ yrs away). I think all GS needs to start taking pre-orders is a game announcement, and it's very unlikely that Nintendo will cancel Smash Bros, so I think it's a safe bet for them that it will see release eventually.

But that is gonna be a long time to have those "coming 2012" boxes sitting on the shelves for it.

But about Donkey Kong 3D, anyone think that Retro could be responsible? They were previously working on a 3DS game (MK7) so we can assume they have a 3DS team in place.
And their studio is large enough to have more than one team working on more than one thing at a time.

Talked to my source again. Nothing else actually. This person didn't get to do extensive research on engines or anything. They were at GDC for other business and nonesense regarding the company.


http://mynintendonews.com/2012/03/11...real-engine-4/
This year’s Samaritan demo, however, was highly optimized and according to Epic’s Mark Rein, it could be running on a laptop next year or a smartphone the year after. This is where Rein pointed out that the UE4 demo will make the Samaritan look feeble by comparison and will generally be crap next to what they show off for the next generation engine, saying “Imagine if that were a piece of crap, what would the next thing look like?”

That is the HYPE man being a HYPE man.

Samaritan was run on what Rein himself call "UnrealEngine 3.975", which to me reads like UE4 beta.
so if Wii U can run UE4, then we are all in for an Unreal Treat.

Unreal Engine 3 was the most popular engine of this generation, but I think it also had the least imaginative games and the art design usually had a very similar feel across the games that used it. I hope another engine is more popular next gen.

Regarding the Donkey Kong 3DS rumor, I think there could be some stock in it. After all, Donkey Kong Country Returns was a surprise reveal at E3 two years ago, so a sudden announcement and a release this year is not completely out of the blue.
This is where I would write something witty or funny if I had any ideas.

Crytek confirmed it last year at E3: http://www.computerandvideogames.com/307061/wii-u-gets-crytek-support-with-cryengine/

maybe someone else can read the links article because I didn't see a mention of cryengine 3.  To me it just sounds like they were talking about thier current engine.

CryEngine 3 is their current engine. It's been out since 2009.
