Gearbox didn’t get its Wii U devkit until just a few months ago, but it turns out that’s more than enough time to get Colonial Marines up and running on the console – thanks to the flexibility of the Unreal Engine.<\/p>\n
“The software, it’s pretty easy to work on, so that makes things a lot easier,” project producer Brian Burleson tells VideoGamer. <\/a>“When you already have something working, especially on the Unreal Engine, it’s a pretty basic, straightforward port at that point. Unreal makes it easier to do that, for sure.”<\/p>\n While he refused to divulge information about the new Nintendo console’s tech specs, he does suggest it’s more or less on par with the Xbox 360 and PS3.<\/p>\n “The goal is always to make it for all the platforms to be the same,” he says. “It really sucks to have a game be nerfed on one platform, or missing a feature on one platform. So the goal is always to make we’re fully-featured, and that everything is the same experience.”<\/p>\n The game, which has been MIA for the last two years or so, resurfaced around E3 and is scheduled for launch sometime next year.<\/p>\n
