CryEngine 3 “Runs Beautifully” On Wii U

Crytek has announced that a respected developer is currently creating a Wii U game which utilises the company’s CryEngine 3. Crytek says that it will be showing the unannounced Wii U game soon. Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli also revealed that Wii U handles CryEngine 3 beautifully.

“My opinion of the Wii U is very high. It’s just that we didn’t have a business case unfortunately that justifies us making a game for it.

“It doesn’t mean that CryEngine 3 doesn’t run on Wii U – it actually runs beautifully. In fact, there actually is a game in development from a respected developer that we will be announcing. I’ve seen the game running and it looks really great.”

      1. Why would that be good? all companies have good games of their own. Also, competition is better, making better products.

      1. idk why, but that made me laugh incredibly hard. thank you good sir, for the non-understandable joy you have caused.

  1. I’m actually surprised to hear Crytek saying positive things about the Wii U now. Hope this means more third party 8th gen games. But mainly I hope for TimeSplitters 4 on Wii U.

  2. Nintendo said E3 is not the end…but only the beginning!!!

    Man the haters must feel embarrased. I can’t find siegfried or aeolus? My oh my

    1. NINTENDO ARE AWESOME AND WILL OWN MICROSOFT!!! I ONLY DOUTED THAM BECAUSE I DIDN’T KNOW THEY HAD ALL OF THE THIRD PARTY SUPPORT BUT NOW THEY IS AWESOME BECAUSE OF THE NEW STUFF AND I WILL GET THE WII U MAYBE IF IT COMES OUT IN NOVAMBER!! MICROSOFT AND SONY SUCK DICK AND ARE NOT AT ALL GOOD CONSOLE MAKERS AND THEY NOT GOOD AS NINTENDO CAN IS

    2. If you actually read the source, he cites it as “minimum” on par as a 360.

      Which is a telling sign that this is not a significant leap over the current generation if there isn’t a straight answer from them.

        1. Which so far the majority of sites are comparing it to.

          This console is not going to be doing anything impressive in the hard specs. It’ll last a year at best looking better than what’s available now, and promptly get crushed upon the advent of true next gen devices.

          Also, this engine runs on PS3 and 360 as well, so this is not impressing me in the slightest.

          1. Oh, wow. You have opinions on how to measure time. Are you a total idiot or what? Even if it was 16 bit, the Wii U would be next gen. It came after the current gen. Don’t even try to argue that something can be ‘true next gen’ by also being the same gen.

          2. the “minimum” of the 360 when it launched was barely a little better than the gamecube, so whats your point?

            1. My point is so far the specs of the console have yet to have been mentioned to be a significant leap over the current generation. And that is a fact. If it was otherwise, developers would be salivating at the mere throught of it.

              Even the underclocked dev kit is actually pretty mediocre. With confirmed specs available in a particular NeoGAF thread.

              Have fun with your lack of tessellation on a probably 4xxx series card. This is assuming Nintendo doesn’t gimp it to hell.

              1. Dude come on he’s saying that the wii u at min is producing the same quality as the x box at it’s maximum. You can bash Nintendo all you w ant but I have a funny feeling that were going to see a game that kills Microsoft and Sony. Remember if you turn off the game pad you can play in 1080p at 60fps.

                1. i would say nintendo murder sony the do the xbox and its three games but sony have some good games but nintendo is great so for me i stick with sony and nintendo lol and the ps2 out sells the xbox lol xbox sucks big time up to wii u ps3 and ps4 :D

              2. did you even see the assassins creed 3 gameplay on the wiiu? that game had a lot of tessellation going on. and just the statement “even the UNDERCLOCKED devkits were mediocre” you do know what underclocked means right?

                1. Yes I know what the fuck underclocked means, you twit. Question is do you know what the hell you’re talking about? ACIII’s Wii U demo had NO SUCH THING.

                  1. um you obviously dont when you act loike “even underclock dev kits were powerfull” and underclocked means that its not very powerful anyway…and yes there was tessellation in the assassins creed 3 demo on wiiu and ubisoft themselves confirmed it to be running at 60fps at 1080p. and just so you know, tessellation is the natural bending of an object, so what you saw in the demo when he walked through the sheet or even the ends of his cloak while he was walking, that was tessellation you retard. seriously stop raging about thing you have no clue about.

          3. I’m guessing you were an only child at some point and then somehow ended up getting a sibling with created jealousy. I suspect your sibling got more attention and gifts. You loved sony and micro but your sibling likes Nintendo thus spouting the hate and the ultimate reason of why your here spouting retard nonsens all over the place :D

          4. yeah i heard that too… but minimum doesn’t mean it isn’t stronger…
            Chuck Norris can do the minimum as you can do… doesn’t mean he is weaker as you or only a bit stronger… he is a lot stronger

          5. who gives a shit if you’re not impressed, you moronic windbag. just get the fuck off this site you worthless piece of shit. go do your crybaby nonsense somewhere else.

          6. Yes I agree this isn’t super impressive but I think people are gonna be fairly disapointed when the next gen isn’t gonna be that much better then the current one. I doubt the Wii U will be left out this time. Effects and resolution will likely be lowered to accomidate the system. I really doubt the next Sony or Microsoft system will retail more then 299 or maybe 399. What exactly do you expect to come from something that price?

            1. Sony just came out and said they won’t release PS4 if it wasn’t able to be a significant leap. If that doesn’t scream BEAST I don’t know what the hell does anymore.

              One down, MS to go. And with Epic at their side, that beaten to death fanboy wishful thinking is looking grim.

              1. I’m no fanboy I own all 3 consoles I simply buy/ play which ever is best on whatever platform. I dont see how anything I said sounded fanboy at all. Sony can say what it wants but I doubt it’ll retail for more then what I said. Again how much you think they’re gonna accomplish with a probable launch of 299-399? I doubt they will go the way they did with the ps3 with ps4. When I see a price and something to back it up that’s something else but I haven’t come across anything about ps4 other then its coming at some point. Frankly I’m buying a ps4 and a Wii U so it doesn’t matter to me.

      1. How did I know your faggot-ass would be here? Seriously, you’re such loser, brah. The man himself is telling you that it’s a leap over current gen, better than a 360 on it’s worst day, and says he doesn’t get why people are saying it’s not next-gen. And for retards like you to honestly believe that anything close to the real CryEngine 3 has been running on PS360 “since 2009”, just goes to show how stupid you are. Also, of course he is going to compare it to current gen, what the fuck else would he compare it to? All of these reports about it only being as powerful as a 360 are either old, from “Anonymous” sources, or most of all, from speculation. E3 has passed, and NOTHING has shown that the Wii U isn’t a next-gen system. Lets put it this way retard, launch games on Wii U look better than games that took 6 years to get looking like they do now on PS360. Every major company and their mother are saying that the Wii U is a powerful machine, and what do you have to say? A whole lot of speculation and no facts.

          1. Aeolus you are the most stupid person in the world. Get a freaking life troll… Get some excersise fat pig,….

          2. Also The so called specs you saw on neogaf are full of holes. Like Nintendo said someone will come along and reverse engineer the system and that’s when the true specs will be out there. Until someone rips apart there true system all of the specs are nothing more than talk.

            1. So the same industry insiders on NeoGAF confirming clickable sticks, and even people interviewing Epic on UE4 amongst other things are “full of holes” too? Are you FUCKING kidding me?

          3. You autistic bro? “Real” as in the beautiful version running on PC, not that terrible watered down version the consoles got. If you couldn’t pick up on that…

            1. The Wii U version is more than likely that very “watered down” (hurr durr) version; so you’re probably autistic if you expect otherwise.

        1. Nigwig. You are a sir. You just schooled Aeolus who still cant accept that a NAMED guy at Crytek said the wiiU is very powerful. Lets not forget that the Aliens game developers said wiiU is the definite version and ps3 and 360 will get ports of it.

          Ignorance brings the worst out of some trolls on here :P but well said man!

          1. Let’s see: a non-answer suddenly means the Wii U is very powerful.

            You must have the IQ of water corroded rock if you interpreted that statement as “very powerful”.

            1. Seriously man this is getting silly just lay off no one is on ur side here, we will all see how the Wii U and the other next gen consoles do in the future until then no one I say NO ONE including u knos how everything is gona go, so please just stop slating Nintendo on a Nintendo site, u can kno all ur stuff about technology but u dont seem to have common sense.

            1. Aeolus your very stupid.. Cellphones run unreal engine 3. But does can it run the engine well nooo. Same goes in this siqtuation cry engine 3 does not run well on xbox 360/ps3. Take away the computer man I see you recently, in almost every darn thread… And get a life while your at it…..

              1. “same goes in this siqtuation cry engine 3 does not run well on xbox 360/ps3.”

                Prove it and stop pulling idle guesswork out of your ass.

    1. It dosen’t the Wii U console has all the processing for the big screen (720p and 1080p confirmed) which is how all consoles get HD, the Wii U gampad has its own screen that has 720p graphics if you meant the Wii, then there is no new Wii gamepad of Wii graphics enhancer the Wii U is a new console

          1. Post your source, because that isn’t even listed in any of the specs whatsoever. They would have made plenty have emphasis if that screen was HD, which from my hands-on last year, it certainly isn’t.

            1. nintendo said that the controller screen “isn’t technically hd” but that doesn’t matter when it comes to a screen that size. you need a screen that is at least 23″ to actually start seeing a difference, so it really shouldnt matter.

              1. Vita is 5” OLED and there is a very noticeable difference with it’s higher res screen compared to the Wii U. Hell, use any SAMOLED+ device as well and compare it to the Wii U (assuming you’ve used it in person…and chances are you haven’t) and tell me again if it needs to be that big to “see a difference”.

                1. Still comparing apples and oranges again, Amir? Quit comparing the Vitanic to a Wii U Game Pad. You’re fucking embarassing yourself in front of an army of Nintendo fans and supporters.

                2. wtf are you smoking? i highly doubt you even used the wiiu because people AT E3 said that the screen looked better than the vita, and the vita only outputs 480p so whats even the point of pointing that out? and ofcourse a smaller screen will look better than a bigger one. are you retarded? the bigger the screen, the more you can tell a difference between 480 to 720 to 1080. its not a hard concept to understand.

                  1. >people at E3 said the screen looks better than Wii U

                    LMAO.

                    The screen has god awful viewing angles and looks like every piece of crap cheap mobile LCD screen ever. I’d like to see where this has been said.

                    PSVita is 960 x 544 and can output at 720p (videos) and 540p for the games. You don’t have the slightest clue about what you’re talking about. And here I thought you may have actually been tech smart, but you’re slowly devolving into every Ninty fanboy pretending they know shit. Oh well.

                    1. 960×544 is in no way 720p

                      skip to about 1:10. there you go. and nowhere does anyone say that the vita can do 720p. you obviously have no idea what you’re talking about.

                    2. Bro…you’re a fucking moron. I also should have reworded the 720p part, I insinuated that it PLAYS such. However this will promptly gut you:

                      http://andriasang.com/comz65/vita_developer_interview/

                      You confirmed that you do indeed don’t know SHIT about anything pertaining to technology. Congratulations.

                      Vita’s display is qHD, RETARD. Anything above 480p is technically considered HIGH DEFINITION.

                      YOU ARE WRONG. Good day sir.

        1. The dualshock controller is still 0p, and PS3/Vita connectivity will be nothing but a gimmick. The same goes for Smartglass for that matter.

    3. It doesn’t upscale the games, as it renders for the TV and the gamepad separately. This requires good processor, at least a decent graphics card, and a lot of memory.

      Secondly, it is spelled “upscale”, and not “pscale”. You also forgot the space there.

      1. Wow dude your comparing a handheld to a controller, 2 unlike comparisons does not really help your arguement…. Do you even have a brain Aeolus?

  3. I just looked at the demo for the CryEngine3 and that shit looked amazing!

    I mean the graphics look like just about as food as it gets!

      1. well now its current gen graphics…seeing as how next gen is aroudn the corner…but yeah…HD graphics plus nintendo magic equals amazing lol

  4. Good news! Just wondering- does the Xbox and PS3 support this engine too? Not that it really matters, but it would be especially good if the Wii U was the only console so far to support CryEngine 3 …

    1. Yes, Crysis 2, Crysis Remake and Crysis 3 all run under CE3 is working on PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 so sadly no, it won’t be only on the Wii U

  5. Ok it’s official: they’re going to announce something big for the Wii U. I mean, in one day they were “meeeh I dunno how it’s gonna work, thinking on all the possibilities”, but TODAY they seemed way more positive about the console. I say this again: something big is coming up. That’s good, a FPS developer makes the console sells more because of FPS games. Add this with Call of Duty, that shit is gonna sell like water! =O

    1. you buy water? like at the store? because i just drink the water from my house… what an odd analogy you got there.

  6. A game running on CryEngine3 on Wii U sounds very promising. If Crytek is talking about Mass Effect 3: Save The Earth for the Wii U, it would be a great masterpiece. If it’s a different title for the Wii U, it would be a huge surprise.

    1. Mass Effect 3: Take Back Earth actually uses the Unreal Engine 3 but it would be nice if the Wii U version of ME3 ran on CE3

      1. ignored the drone dude, sony drones are so mad that there impersonating other people that love nintendo to make a hate comeback.

        1. ta that zelda does look as good as unchart 2 and 3 but it will when its release zelda in hs WOW WII U + PS4= MII HAPPY BTW FUCK XBOX HAS NO GAMES

      1. Except that isn’t a game, and is very literally a video recorded from multiple angles if you did any sort of research (and you definitely didn’t).

        1. It’s called a real-time tech demo. In other words, a game could and will actually look that good when the time comes.

          1. Aeolus your dumb, no source and your claiming its a video recorded from different angles get a life. And alot of smart people knows you cant change the angle if it isnt in real time.

          2. That is not a fucking real time demo. It is a goddamn video. Read the comments, search Tokyo Street Demo and stop believing the Wii U is actually performing graphics that are literally real life visuals.

            The person below is a faggot.

    1. it will…. why would the fact that it supports cryengine 3 make it so ue4 wouldn’t be supported? you do know that console run multiple engines right?

        1. You’re truly FAILED on that one, noob. The Wii U will have games powered by Unreal Engine 4 next year.

          Epic Games told CVG that while they’ve announced that Unreal Engine 3 will run Wii U games, the company “has not confirmed platforms for Unreal Engine 4 beyond PC”.

        2. epic said “unreal engine will support anything that makes sense to be supported, from the iphone to next generation consoles and highend pcs” so yeas it is supported

  7. @Aeolus I couldn’t care less if you are unimpressed with the Wii U. Even if Nintendo shoved the official specs under your obnoxious little nose, and proved to you that the Wii U is a 100X more powerful than current-gen, it still wouldn’t be enough to satisfy you, and you will still find something to whine and complain about.

  8. Just goes to show that the Wii U is getting much, MUCH more support from third-party developers than the haters are comfortable with.
    I mean, look how often they return to this site just to bash people!
    Insecurity is pretty funny to watch from these guys.
