Crytek’s CEO, Cevat Yerli has spoken about his high opinion of the Wii U and teased an interesting unannounced project…

“My opinion of the Wii U is very high. It’s just that we didn’t have a business case unfortunately that justifies us making a game for it.

“It doesn’t mean that CryEngine 3 doesn’t run on Wii U – it’s actually runs beautifully. In fact, there actually is a game in development from a respected developer that we will be announcing. I’ve seen the game running and it looks really great.”

“From my perspective I do not understand the public’s concerns that the Wii U is weaker than PS3 and 360. That I cannot see. From my perspective the Wii U is minimum as powerful as Xbox 360.” Crytek CEO CevatYerli

First of all, it's up to EA, not Crytek to order a port, EA publishes the Crysis games. Crytek don't have the resources to port one game to yet another console for the sake of porting and you think that it's somehow worse that Crytek are in fact porting their engine to Wii U for a possible exclusive that will actually take advantage of the Wii U's stronger hardware from the ground up?

This doesn't look good... Ok they like the Wii U, but not enough to develop - or even port - on it. And another confirmation that the Wii U won't be a beast in specs...
