Support NeoGAF

[shingi70]

This Epic announce,went seems so contradictory with all the radio silence surrounding new switch announcements that I am starting to think that Nintendo is using the engine with some new games

Devs and pubs aren't going to change their roll out because epic. Think of how many games are being developed with unreal in general right now that we don't know of yet.

Choosing an engine is like, step 1 of actually starting to make a game, so yeah, I'd imagine its somewhat likely a number of these titles are nowhere close to any sort of announcement (and also likely a number will never even get released for whatever reason)

 

[Tripy73]

Or this radio silence are just NDA surrounding switch, with what Harada has said with strict policy about games Namco bandai can talk and third party games that were announced only during the last direct, this will not surprise me if some of these UE4 games will be announced in the E3 nintendo direct.

Or they're under NDA? Why do people in here think Epic's statement has anything to do with dev's timelines? We get absolutely no info on the progress of the games from this statement so I'm not sure why people are trying to extrapolate that info from it

 

[Fiendcode]

a new konami title using UE4 funded by Nintendo

Tengai Makyo IV?

Highly doubt it. Has Nintendo ever licenced an engine for a mainline Mario title?

Only Unity for Super Mario Run.

 

[Adam_Roman]

Is Mario Odyssey using Unreal 4?

It'd be funny if they did, after everyone who said "Mario doesn't look right in Unreal Engine" after fans threw him into some of those tech demos.

 

[Passose]

Tengai Makyo IV?


Only Unity for Super Mario Run.

a castlevania reboot would be awesome, a 3d metroidvania castlevania using UE4

 

[foxuzamaki]

I just wonder how may Japanese games will be announced at e3 and how many will be announced at tgs

 

[BDGAME]

Found another title that use UE4: AeternoBlade II

 

[Hero of Legend]

Not actually Japanese. Corecell is in Thailand.

 

[BDGAME]

Not actually Japanese. Corecell is in Thailand.

Close enough? Hehehe

Spoiler

That anime visual fool me.

 

[The Last One]

I heard about a game that was planned (months ago) that if it ends up being true will get a thread for the archives. Let's see what happens at E3 this year!

What happened with that?

 

[Oregano]

What happened with that?

Maybe it was Yoshi or Metroid Prime 4?

 

[The Last One]

Maybe it was Yoshi or Metroid Prime 4?

Yoshi doesn't fit the "enter to the archives" thing. Is Metroid Prime being developed in UE 4? that would be amazing.

 

[Skittzo0413]

Maybe it was Yoshi or Metroid Prime 4?

I doubt MP4 even has an engine attached to it yet.

 

[Dash_]

I'm going to take it Epic provide great Japanese support for UE4 in terms of documentation/engine translation?

 

[ggx2ac]

Yoshi doesn't fit the "enter to the archives" thing. Is Metroid Prime being developed in UE 4? that would be amazing.

Wasn't the first Metroid Prime running on a modified Unreal 2 Engine anyway?

 

[Ridley327]

Wasn't the first Metroid Prime running on a modified Unreal 2 Engine anyway?

No, that's one of those old wives tales that was never seriously corroborated.

 

[The Last One]

I doubt MP4 even has an engine attached to it yet.

I doubt that this is the case.

 

[Aostia]

I wonder if it is safe to assume that half of those 20 games are nintendo second party games, with the other being mostly individual and SMT HD the only actually third party game after the horrible showcase of third party support switch had at e3

 

[jackal27]

Good to hear! I think that creating their own engines is where a lot of Japanese developers went wrong last generation. It created really long dev cycles and not many games.

 

[SporeCrawler]

I wonder if it is safe to assume that half of those 20 games are nintendo second party games, with the other being mostly individual and SMT HD the only actually third party game after the horrible showcase of third party support switch had at e3

nintendo has the capacity to develop 20+ UE4games aside of the games we already know are not running on UE4? tell me more.

 

[Rmagnus]

I wonder if it is safe to assume that half of those 20 games are nintendo second party games, with the other being mostly individual and SMT HD the only actually third party game after the horrible showcase of third party support switch had at e3

Er.. how many development teams so you think Nintendo has?

 

[E-phonk]

I wonder if it is safe to assume that half of those 20 games are nintendo second party games, with the other being mostly individual and SMT HD the only actually third party game after the horrible showcase of third party support switch had at e3

The whole of E3 didn't even have that many new Japanese announcements, so this doesn't make sense. Dragon Ball Fighter Z, Evil Within and Monster Hunter World are the only JPN games revealed this E3 afaik? Admittedly, Switch should've had 2 of them.

I'll play the good old "wait till TGS" if we're talking about JPN games.

Are you sure you're not just asking for El Capitan Todd in UE4?

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Yeah, I bet they are still in pre-production on that one

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Are you telling me Nintendo has enough dudes to be overseeing 10 other projects at once in addition to the games they're making on their proprietary engines? That's impressive of them. You know, is that's the case.

Which it isn't.

 

[Passose]

I'd like to see a fps El Mexico Mario Odyssey vs El Capitan Tood game in UE4

would be nintendo fanboys wetdream...

looks at avatar of aostia...

yeah..

Yeah as disappointing as the lack of E3 3rd party Switch announcements were, E3 doesn't really have a strong Japanese game focus. That's where I'd expect the support to come from earlier on. Like they aren't going to announce Tales Switch at E3. Disappointed in no Code Vein switch though (yet)

 

[TrutaS]

Zack and Wiki 2?

Will you ever stop the whole "sky is falling" routine? I can't tell if this is one giant performance act or not.

 

[MoonFrog]

Also don't think Prime 4 announced enters the archives. Great moment, but not much content to discuss (so far). Of course, poster could've thought it'd get shown more. A more substantial MP4 reveal would've made a fan dream comes true thread with lots of discussion. That could've been a "thread for the archives."

Wonder what this game was supposed to be/if it ended up real.

Extreme salt/console wars, fan dream fulfillment, epic surprises, ridiculous misfires...those are the sorts of things to drive fan craze/crazy threads.

 

[Aostia]

I exxagerated.
We could shift to Nintendo published games down to 6/7 and indie ones up to a dozen.
I can see project such Yoshi to Good Feel to be paired by other similar games from Nintendo, such as a possible new Next Level Games project, a Retro project, a Azrest project and possibly the new Fire Emblem developed by IntSys and so on.

Can someone actually counter my pessimism with facts in terms of third parties?
I don't think so.

October reveal
January announcement
Spring Direct
E3

Third party games announced (from Japanese third parties, of course, due to the topic we are in, but also due to the fact that I'm not expecting western ones at all) I think 3? Night of Azure 2, Fate/Extella and MHXX (with all its shifting platform drama, of course)

counting...and now we start playing the "TGS" game.

 

[E-phonk]

NLG: Canada, not in japan
Retro: not in japan
Azrest: they are finalising Hey Pikmin, so unlikely. They'd be a possible UE4 user in the future though.
Fire Emblem: not the kind of game that would use UE4 I'd say. I see some speculated FE switch using it, but I doubt that. Still possible though.

Can someone actually counter my pessimism with facts in terms of third parties?

Games takes years to develop. If Epic says 20 japanese UE4 games are in development, and we know only about 4/5 of them, that means 15 more are still to be announced.

What do we have now?
Yoshi
DQXI
Bloodstained
Shin Megami Tensei
...
Haven't checked if this thread has a list somewhere.

I mean we are seeing stuff like Fifa getting effort put into them, Skyrim's gonna sell gangbusters. Ubisoft's developing an exclusive game (when was the last time any major third party put out an exclusive), Rocket League, Monster Hunter, SMT, Switch is getting third parties on board and it's only going pick up as the Switch continues to sell. I suspect it's slow at first because almost every one expected another Wii U.
