While Sonic Boom has left some fans of the franchise startled with its intriguing artistic design, most cannot wait to see what the game’s developers Big Red Button have to offer the blue hedgehog and his friends. In a recent interview with ONM UK, Big Red Button’s CEO and visual director Bob Rafai has shared interesting information surrounding Sonic Boom’s CryEngine 3 use.
The game’s development team boasts talent from the likes of Naughty Dog, High Impact Games and Heavy Iron Studios and has enhanced the standard version of CryEngine 3, in order to provide the best for fans of the SEGA franchise on the Wii U. Rafai says CryEngine 3 cannot normally utilise split-screen gaming but, due to working with the engine’s creator, the team has managed to feature a split-screen display both on the GamePad and the TV.
“You associate CryEngine with lush, tropical, beachy things. These are also things with which Sonic is associated, so they work together. We worked in close contact with Crytek in Germany, and the team there is pretty excited about that as well. In the end, it was simply the right choice for the project.”

Wow, you want moario that dam bad on xbox and PS…too bad for you stupid bitch! Want Mario, buy Nintendo…LOLOLOLOLOL xDD
Filthy Frank was right… you kids are a cancer on the earth
lol
What are you laughing at? he’s obviously refers to YOU.
Why use hashtags when they don’t work here? No one is exposed to anything and the Wii U can handle it, ’cause it’s coming to it and they just said they were able to make it, so why say it can’t handle it and they just confirmed it can? And gotta laugh at all those hashtags with troll shit, how pathetic!
We get it, you’re life is sad and pathetic, you don’t need to keep going on about it
Go and cry about it then fag..hahahaha
GTFO identity thief.
Blarg
Nor can the PS4 then.
actually cryengine 3 is old. did you even see the newest cryengine or the one running rsye son of rome.
Ryse is a perfect example of a shitty game with good graphics..
You are SERIOUSLY using Gamespot’s review? You know they gave DKC: TF the lowest score BY FAR, right? I’ve played the game, and it is honestly one of the most fun and creative platformers I’ve ever played. Try harder.
… That is the CryEngine 3 you uneducated moron… see, this is why I’m not developing for you fuck wit Xbots. PC gamers have more brains than you, hell Wii U and PS4 owners are more mature than your baby fanbase.
another xbox one game that exposes wii u.
Exposed what? All I see exposed is your retardation and inability to come up with ACTUAL arguments that make sense.
arguments of what. ps4 is way more powerful than wii u. the wii u specs were desgined for kids because they thought they could deceive kids into buying buying there console.
the trailer of mario kart 8 has cartoony graphics that could been done easily on a ps3.
Again, you lack technical knowledge. MK8 cannot run on ps3.
And again with your baseless “kiddy” argument? What are you? 5?
Only children would use the would “kiddy” as a term of approval than a descriptive term, exactly why your argument is invalid.
“kiddy” makes my arguments invalid. typical nintendo manchild going around the internet to people 5 year olds while he play 3+ games and calls them next gen.
By time you start insulting me, that means I already won the argument because I broke down your arguments and rendered them invalid, so all you have left are personal attacks to back up your arguments.
How much does it sting? Hurts that I pointed out all of the contradictions in your arguments every single time you try to debate?
You seem like a man child.
rsye son of rome exposes and slutters wii u completely.
Good graphics horrible gameplay
I rather play Ghost n’ Goblin for old NES, than that ‘big kiddy’ game.
Are you bloody stupid, Ryse was developed in CryEngine 3, do you know anything about gaming!!?!
It was developed with CryEngine 4, actually.
From the trailer that came out it seems it works perfectly, plus, my game seems to work fine on the Wii U, piss poor on the Xbox One dev kit though, that thing is fucking stupid.
developers will prefere the xbox one over wii u any day
Not from what I’ve heard.
Alot of them are just ditching the Xbox One in favor of the PS4, PC and/or Wii U. Xbox One is just a pile of shit that no developer wants to develop for, apart from Battlefield Rehash and Clone of Duty developers.
Can see better on the wii u version and no count down which is good…I hate waiting.
I couldn’t really tell from that.
The engine isn’t really showing off anything the consoles are able to do.
If that’s the best you can possibly show, then Wii U is able to do anything, and this video proves it.
Wii U version looks cleaner honestly.
Now see I thought that but doing something side to side on a game that is so uncompelling, I found rather enigmatic.
then how is it coming?
too much damage control?
Well it can and it looks gourgeous so you can just shut the fuck up
I just can’t stand that horrible Sonic design…
I even prefer the Knuckles design slightly more…
Sonic’s design isn’t bad, I don’t see why people are complaining
Because it just doesn’t feel like Sonic…
More like a cousin to Sonic but not Sonic…
its a spinoff and I actually want his sport survival-ish outfit in smash!
Spin-off or not, the characters are the same and should feel the same…
youre just too picky, right now i dont care what he looks like, i just want another good sonic game..
I won’t care either if the game is actualy great…
You have my word…
He;s almost exactly the same except slightly taller, with a scarf and some sports tape, what’s the big deal
It just feels odd…
Tails feels the same though…
It is because he is buff huh?
No…
Woo split screen! Split screen has been dying so much and I’m glad to see it back
Good to see enhancement to CryEngine 3 for Wii U usage. Hopefully get more devs using it for Wii U!
but nintendo wouldn’t use it because it will be harder to produce there rehashes very quickly.
You mean Sony and Microsoft ;)
Last of Us: Remastered
Halo Anniversary
HD Collections
Sounds to me like you are trying WAY too hard to troll… no wonder why ED wants you on their page, your just a terrible Human-being :D
Quick someone make an article!
nope, nintendo does use engines, the 3rd party douches are the ones that go apeshit when it comes to work with the WiiU
Hopefully the enhanced engine will push the console hard, but I reckon it will either use 1 or 2 cores of the CPU.
Sorry Wii U haters, but WIi U is powerful, and you’re just too stubborn to accept it.
To tell the truth, if Crytek are really excited about this, imagine the amount of possibilities out there.
Hopefully it will make other developers see opportunity.
nice.
I’m just afraid of the framerate. Sonic Lost World plays like shit on split screen.
I wouldn’t be. The engine will be based around the hardware architecture of Wii U, so the frame rate should be very well solid.
I wouldn’t be surprised if we got 1080p @ 60FPS. Nintendo seem to do that with split screen, so there is no reason CryEngine 3 cannot do it.
are even sure its 1080p 60fps, they could be lying like what sony said about killzone shadow fall
Yes, much like how Microsoft lied about the cloud helping games like Titanfall… yet it still looks last gen and the frame rate is mixed with some v-sync issues.
Sonic Boom
——————————-
Hang on a minute, if you actually took the time to read my post before running your mouth, I said it is possible.
When in my comment did I even mention that it even is. For all I know it could be running below that (however I see no reason for it to be under).
Mario Kart 8
———————–
Of course it’s 1080P @ 60FPS, it doesn’t even take a minute to know that it is. Why would Nintendo know. Such a hater, push off!
To be honest, the Hedgehog Engine they used in Sonic Lost Worlds wasn’t optimized for the Wii U hardware, however, CryEngine 3 supports the Wii U hardware so don’t be worried ^^ q
So does cryengine 4…
Crytek were excited?… Wow… so if Crytek had their own way then we could see Crysis 4 on the Wii U if that’s the case but sadly, EA happened… Crytek needs to go back to being an indie company
Well the just need to not use EA as a publishing company, that’s all.
I would have happily played Crysis 3 and 4 on my Wii U. But then again, since when do EA have a say in what Crytek want to release? it’s their game!!!!
Is it possible to report this guy for spamming videos?
yeah, contact and tips link

sorry
Wiik u is Weak, the “U” in Wii U stands for ‘UNDERPOWERED”
Fuck off you fucking troll!!!!
wii u cant even run this game lol
A PS3 can play that game… so yeah the Wii U can play that game… js
Wii U can still play that game. Try harder and you’ll get your ED article sooner than you think.
From my experience, this is the Wii U launch in 180P 30 fps without problems, but the fact that working professionals or Nintendo, who knows how it works!
Well it could very easily to be honest. You need to consider that this is a PS4 has more latency.
You would just offload the visuals to the eDRAM on the GPU, easy….
So that means the “One” in Xbox One means it can only do 1p resolution… now it all makes sense
you run out of jokes already?
Take your dick out you mouth BITCH
I can’t hear you.
Of course you can’t hear him since he typed it and didn’t actually say it say it with his mouth. Too bad your too ignorant to know that.

Where’s that Faggot Zorbo1234567
*yawn* Do you have a better insult?
You bore me.
You know, for every hashtag-spamming troll there’s someone who with a straight face makes a joke about Xbox/Sony “Cry Engine”, etc.
I really don’t know which is worse.
Okay, I’m offically hyped for Sonic Boom! ٩( °◡°)۶
So far graphics sound good. Now how about some gameplay? E3 most likely. Hugs.
Isn’t CryEngine 4 already available to developers? Why aren’t they using that instead?
I’m not so excited about this game, I don’t know… It just doesn’t seem “Sonic-like” I hope to see more of this game in the E3, some gameplay would be awesome
Wow, Sonic Boom looks like it is probably the best Sonic game ever. I’m so glad they re-did Knuckles, because his design was seriously flawed before and they finally fixed it like true fans of the Sonic franchise ACTUALLY wanted.
Also, the addition of scarves and sports tape on all the characters is smart, because now we don’t have to consider Sonic’s game as soft porn.
Big Red Button is winning the hearts of gamers and I think Sonic Boom is the savior of the Wii U. It’ll probably move a million console sales or two for preorders alone.
Looks like PS4 is going down… not that I’m surprised. I haven’t seen a single PS4 game that could match up witht he Wii U’s power and nothing on PS4 looks even remotely as good as Sonic Boom.
typical blind nintendo fanboy.
knack looks better than sonic boom
Knack looks like a grinned up piece of shit. I would never play such a game that imitates the magnificent games on Wii U. Looks so low res I could play it on my gamecube.
Dude if you don’t like the Wii U why are you here? What does people wanting to support the Wii U and praising it have to do with you? And no I’m no Nintendo fanboy(I have all 8th gen consoles and a PC) I like PC the most as it satisfies my needs. Also what is up with people and graphics?
FUCK MY BIG ASS PLZ!!!
