oblivion will now be possible on wii with its new engine "gamebryo" http://www.marketwire.com/mw/release.do?id=769028&sourceType=3 5th paragraph. i told you all there was still a possibillity of it happening, and noe the chances just increased. x_water
great to see middle ware guys taking notice of wii. hopefully itll mean less devs use last gen engines and tech not made for wii (eg UE2 xbox1 version).
however....no oblivion is not possible on wii in its current state because of this. the engine is just software that keeps the game ticking over (very basically). theres still things like texture size, gemoetry data levels, numbers of guys on screen, shaders, physics and so on and so on. game byro is still bound by the hardware it runs on.
arguable it would make a port of oblivion to wii a little bit easier but the devs would still need to redoo a crap load of the game (eg, all the artwork would need to be redone to fit in wiis ram and the use of shaders would need to be completly redone, draw distance would need to be greatly reduced). so i wouldnt get my hopes up on an oblivion port because of this news.
