RUMOR - More inside info on Wii U power, dev kits and more
This is another one of those situations where someone is 'in the know'. This person is a former French games journalist.
- larger European third parties have received the latest dev kits
- roughly twice as powerful as an Xbox 360
- dev kits are up to revision 4.2, but a V5 kit may exist
- the v4 kits are from early 2012
- final decisions on graphical capabilities come towards the end of development
- this may lead to the Wii U seeing a bit more power than the 2 X 360 listed above
Thanks to Kurt for the heads up!
UPDATE - A few more details coming from the source...
- V5 dev kits exist within Nintendo
- tests of a 'very famous engine' show only minor framerate improvements over 360/PS3
- this engine is most likely Unreal Engine 3
