Crytek explains why Crysis 3 Wii U 'had to die'

Remember what happened to the last console that didn't have total EA support...

not played it yet but i've always loved far cry and crysis 1. not a huge fan of crysis two or far cry 2....i'll prob get flamed for this but i HATE sand box crap - just usher me along to the next firefight PLEASE i do NOT want to wander around on my own looking for something to do. I get LOST and bored very easily :) i know i am a disgrace in the gaming community but....sorry

dizam

the Wii U blew up when the game started lol

@ABEzilla116 @feleas @Strider8009 how is my head too far up my ass? I keep in touch with Nintendo to see if they come up with something good, but they keep doing is re-releasing games that they've repeated a dozen times over already, and are using gimics by buying rights to multi-system games so that those games now become only available to their Nintendo systems before release in hopes of attracting more audiences. No sir, Nintendo's done either lazy or dirty tricks. I'll stick with the corrupt and greedy Microsoft, or the incompetent programming of Sony.

@ABEzilla116 I read the article and stated my opinion.

@ABEzilla116 @RadPro I think a big reason Dreamcast failed was because of the bad taste that the Sega Saturn left. People lost faith with Sega after that.

@ABEzilla116 The Dc plays copied games straight out of the box! My housemate picked one up and couldn't find copies of certain games - so just downloaded them and burnt them to CDR's - unreal how easy Sega made it for pirates!!!!

Maybe it wasn't worth it for the Wii U anymore.

Gotta love Nintendo's attitude towards 3rd Party developers / publishers when it comes to providing 3rd party games for their beloved platform.

Nintendo are notoriously difficult to work with.

This will be their undoing!

Then I won't get it

I wish Crysis would die, most overated piece of toss I've ever played.

Ah no actually that was Dragon Age 2 but I try to forget that exists.

The irrefutable fact is that the Wii U was doomed before it even came out, no games, no console. Plus the PS4 and the next Xbox are coming, I'd rather see what they have to offer. I have a Wii U and it's just collecting dust in my closet. Good I got it as a gift!

" But there was a lack of business support between Nintendo and EA on that."

According to the above statement, I take it that the guy can't spell it out the way human being can easily understand. Any idea on what that could be all about, anybody?

EA wanted Nintendo to use Origin for it's network infrastructure.
Ninty dodged a bullet there

It seems that EA was afraid of not selling well enough and asked money to Nintendo, which was denied. As a matter of fact, EA is so averse to risk nowadays that they are trashing their own games. Dead Space went down trying to follow Resident Evil into the battered action/adventure realm, disregarding what its fan base was looking for. In another hand, they are announcing their plan of including micro transactions wherever they can fit it, which is also not very popular among EA's fans. While I wrote this words, I realized I haven't brought an EA game for a while (Battlefield 3, I guess). Perhaps this is not a coincidence.

When I saw the pic for this article I got excited because it looks like a customised stormtrooper. I could go for a new Republic Commando style SW shooter.

Im trading crysis 3 in for tomb raider.

The WII U will suffer the same fate as the Dreamcast. Only difference is the Dreamcast actually had amazing games.

The Big Reason Nintendo Wii U Fail it current generation Same Xbox 360 & Ps3 Generation
Not Only The Graphics it's laggy not even always 60+ fps!
But I don't Hate Nintendo Cause this is the best Nintendo yet!

I really want to play Crysis 3 but I don't have a DX11 graphics card. I could get it on console but I know it wouldn't be as good. Here's hoping they add support for DX10.

I like how people comment that it's the bad Wii U sales.... and how it's a dead system.... And it has nothing to do With Nintendo not making a contract with EA to release the game or anything.... it's all the systems fault.....
