This new no name DEV thinks their game will deliver PS3/360 visuals on the *Wii*

http://www.videogamer.com/news/21-04-2008-8085.html

High Voltage Software is hoping to change the face of Wii video games, with its new Quantum3 engine, which is claimed to enable Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 visuals on the tiny Wii console.

Quantum3 is the result of 15 years development experience and enables developers to make use of advanced graphical features, including better dynamic bump mapping, light effects, glossing and other visual improvements. Additionally, Quantum3 uses a 16 TEV stage material pipeline that can blend up to 8 separate texture sources.

The engine also uses advanced processing techniques to make gameplay smoother, examples including seamless resource streaming, projected shadows, morphing and much more.

"The Wii platform is capable of a lot more than what consumers have seen so far. We're hoping to raise a new bar," said High Voltage Software CEO Kerry Ganofsky.

The first title from High Voltage to use the new Quantum3 engine is first-person shooter The Conduit. The developer is aiming to create a game that looks like an Xbox 360 and PS3 game. You can decide for yourself if the new engine is up to the task by checking the tech demo here.

let the LULZ commence.

I am not going to completely write off his claim. While the Wii will never have PS3/360 level graphics...I have a Wii and I haven't seen anything that comes close (yet) to even RE4 level graphics. I mean the best looking Wii games are what? Zelda? RE4? Bully? These are all ports from last gen.

And even if the Wii is only slightly more powerful than GC...or GC 1.5...that should mean the Wii can produce games even better looking than those last gen ports.

If a game showed up on Wii that looked better than RE4, then I think people would be blown away and I think it would make the Wii, at the very least, competitive graphically with those other consoles if not in the exact same league.

Welcome to 2 months ago. And also if you read the original article on IGN they actually say they can produce PS3 and 360 style lighting effects and other effects that the Wii hasn't had yet, and if you watch the tech demo you can see that it's true.bobbetybob

LOL,

ur even funnier then the no name DEV

Puh-leese.

They are making this game to sucker sheep into buying it. lulz.

Er, question to some of the sheep...

Why tell us not to bash it now? Do you really think that by the time the game comes out it will actually have visuals on par with the average 360/ps3 game? Let the bashers bash now, don't set yourselves up for harder ownage in the future...

Now i'm not pre judging the game as a whole, who knows, it could be AAA but let's get real...
