LATEST FEATURES Being A Console Is Actually Xbox One's Worst Asset
Microsoft's newest console has lots of different features, but video games might hold the device back from the software giant's true intentions.

On the future of some gamers

Before Microsoft and Sony do something regarding their future in the video game business, I wanted to write, and I've wanted it for a long time now, but other things kept getting in my way, and fearing that tomorrow might be too late, today will have to do.   Months ago,...

Crytek Had "Crysis 3 Running On The Wii U," But It "Had To Die"

Posted on Monday, March 4 @ 08:45:28 Eastern by Alex_Osborn

Crysis 3 isn't coming to the Wii U, but not for lack of trying, as Crytek has confirmed that they were able to get the game running on Nintendo's console.

Speaking to VentureBeat, Crytek head Cervat Yerli explained, "We did have Crysis 3 running on the Wii U. We were very close to launching it. But there was a lack of business support between Nintendo and EA on that. Since we as a company couldn't launch on the Wii U ourselves - we don't have a publishing license - Crysis 3 on Wii U had to die."

With the Wii U off to such a rocky start, it's easy to see why publishers are hesitant to bring their games to the platform. Is the Wii U going to suffer from a lack of third-party support in the months and years to come? Let us know what you think in the comments below.

    Video Games aren't about video gamers or video game makers any more. They are about a bunch of CORPORATE SHYLOCKS doing everything they can to profit, rather than make better games. There are no more "system wars" - These greedy bastards control every release to ensure they get every dime you make.

    Crysis should be able to run on WiiU in reduced settings - but unless you have a top level computer, you are not gonna be able to possibly run any Crysis game in it's highest settings with all objects dynamic.

    Wait, so what happened exactly to cause it to fail? Did EA not wanna front anymmore extra cash to get it published with Nintendo?

    It would actually kinda suck if the Wii U didn't make it. I think the market needs the big 3 in it to keep everyone going. If only Microsoft and Sony are left I wouldn't be too excited about that. That doesn't mean I'm about to go buy a Wii U though

    This is incredibly disappointing for Wii U owners. Third party support is going to get even worse once the PS4/Xbox 3 release. Doing an easy straight port is going to be impossible from those next gen consoles to the Wii U. It just keeps getting worse and worse for Wii U...

    Nintendo lost its' trust in outsiders ever since the Super Mario movie.

    Let's blame that.

    Nintendo went away from the motion sensor gimmick (...somewhat) in favour of graphics and trying to appeal to a more traditional gamer market. Not getting big-name multi-platform titles onto what is the newest console on the market is a huge failure. If Nintendo doesn't step it up to get these deals done, I don't see the companies console division surviving.
