What good do you think will come from it? Perhaps more consistent looking games, and better looking games?

That depends on the developer, not the engine used. The Unreal Engine will just make things easier, lets hope.

I think the dev's right. Check out his first few words from that interview.

'It wasn't us, it was Ubisoft! [laughs] You know, actually, commercially, it's probably not worth it to be honest. And I don't mean that as anything against the Wii, but the Wii is an improved evolution of the Gamecube'

It's probably not worth it, but anything's better than nothing I guess.

If devs suck at using the UE3 enging on the 360 and PS3, why would they fair better on the Wii?

the ut3 engine scales really well on all systems (high end pc's, 360's, middle end pc's) so there's no doubt that some alright looking games will come out on the wii.

It doesn't confirm anywhere that UE3 is coming... actually Mark Rein says it wouldn't be beneficiary (sp?). The title of the article is wrong.

If that's true, which I doubt it is, it could easily play Unreal Tournament 3, since one of the recommended GPUs is a X1300.

BTW Splinter Cell: DA and Red Steel looked like crap and they used the UR2 engine? That is not good.

He says that "...I know one of our licensee who's giving it a shot; it's their own port..."

Which means UE3 is trying to be ported to the Wii by one of their licensees. How well it will look depends entirely on that developer, and if I have my thoughts straight, it also means that only that developer in particular will be using the 'Wii UE3', which leads us to the notion that no other developers will be using it, and therefore, the majority of games will not simply begin to look visually impressive.

I'm still interested in who this developer is, though. The only ones that I can think of that would have that many resources and the desire to port it are Ubisoft, EA, and maybe Square Enix.

Trying =/= Confirmation

Just because a dev is trying to does not mean it will happen.

Title is misleading.

UE3 for the Wii would simply mean easier porting for multiplat games between Wii and x360/PS3, which in turn would mean more devs using UE3. That's the whole idea I guess, to get a bigger market share on the x360/PS3.

Pointless. Wii isn't capable of running it in any decent form. They should just make special version of UE2.0 for Wii.
