Asked about the Wii game's state of completion, Eggebrecht responded: "We're pretty much at a state where we're almost done with the engine. At the same time, we've also been working on content quite a bit because we had enough running very quickly on the platform that we were able to. But the biggest milestone or mark right now is that we're almost done with the engine and it does everything that the PS3 did and then some, quite frankly. So we're pretty happy with that.

Factor 5 did make Gamecube look much better than the original Xbox.

The only thing they half arsed on Lair was the controls. The graphics were hyped to be better than GeOW.

They were pretty darn close in my view. The main plus that game had was its graphics.

Whatever Wii game Factor 5 is making, I am going to assume that this game will be the best looking Wii game compared against SMG. But then againg, they are going to be aiming towards the casuals.

Where did they or anyone say it was going to be aimed at casuals... a very foolish statement no matter who makes it, games are focused on GAMERS, whether it be casual or hardcore gamer. Imo, theres no difference.. you are a gamer or your not, if you play a game .. you're a gamer.

Rebel Strike for the Gamecube is arguably comparable to some mediocre PS3 or 360 games.

That's probably true for Super Mario Galaxy as well though.

Yes, but Super Mario Galaxy was made on a significantly more powerful system. So after seeing what Factor 5 did with the Gamecube, whatever they do on the Wii will be impressive, and with Nintendo overlooking them, we know that the gameplay will be quality.

Yeah, I have high expectations for whatever it is that Factor 5 is making for the Wii. I can imagine Kid Icarus being a good licence for them to work with.

I believe that they're talking about their new engine, which is "pretty much" capable of everything on the PS3.

Don't expect a miracle. Just expect brilliant programming and graphical expertise.

Anyone who understands the engineering behind GPUs knows the Wii just can't hang with either the PS3 or the Xbox 360...at all.Newsboy

and who knows more about the engineering of GPU's then Factor 5?

Maybe he doesn't mean with as much resolution but as many effects... remember it doesn't have to render in HD...

It is, and significantlly less powerrful then the Xbox 360 and PS3.

It's both significantly more powerful then the GC and significatnly less powerful ten the 360 and PS3... What's so hard to believe about that.

I wouldnt say that its significantly greater than the gamecube; more powerful yes, but significantly not really. Beyond3d has reported that the Wii has about the processing power of "one-and-a-half GameCubes" thats not really a significant change.

Some people are missunderstanding what they are saying. They aren't saying it will look as good as PS3 games, they're just saying their engine will have more features and effects than their PS3 engine.

I assume you are implying it's not? The numbers are clear, it is at least twice as powerful. And runs on only a trickle of power.

They're talking about their new engine for the Wii, not the Wii in general.

Expect less pixels and polygons, but the same shaders that Lair had (and them some).

The company that made the system, has I believe yet to release specs on the Wii, as for the biased reporter he was getting his information from beyond3D, If there is a link that has more crediability than beyond3D then I would like to see it.
