Sorry if it's been posted already...

"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 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."

That's a bold statement to make...I think they can pump out some good graphics outta the little machine,but ps3 and 360 quality...I doubt that.

What the hell does that even mean? And I can't wait for this to be applied to another Wii game. Metroid Prime 4, maybe?

That's good if they can pump out some better visuals from the Wii, but these guys are obviously just hyping up their game and their engine. It's just technically impossible for the Wii to display graphics on par with a typical PS3/360 game. These developers are making some empty promises...

It means that due to hardware limitations, the Wii will never have PS3/360 graphics.

I want Metroid Dread for the DS. A 2D platfomer plox. They could continue the plot from Fusion. After escaping the research station, Samus crashes to SR-388's sister planet SR-338 and discovers spaic pirates and evolved metroids and all that **** in the face.

Well running at that low of a resolution a lot of things are possible. The higher the resolution the more power needed to pump out nice graphics. It's the reason why Crysis was so hard to max out. Sure you could have ran it at 1024x768 but where is the fun it that.

To sum it up, higher resolution = more power needed. Since Wii doesn't come close to the promised resolutions of 360 and Ps3 and comes nowhere close to PC resolutions.

Did anybody watch the tech demo in the link at the bottom? The game looks pretty good for a Wii game, but there is a lantern swinging from the ceiling and the motion doesnt look fluent at all. Looks jittery. lol.

That I would love to see. Then I would love to see it on the Ps3 and 360 and blow Crysis out of the water. Then put it on the PC and blow real life away graphically :shock:!

I dont think they realise that PS3/360 visuals are always going to be better because of the progression and devs managing to unlock the systems potentials. Not just wii visuals that are progressing

High Voltage Software are lying (Spelling?) if they claim it will look as good as PS3 and 360 games.

Factor 5 said there Wii Engine can do everything there Lair Engine did and More it just wouldn't be at the same Resolution but it can still do everything that there PS3 engine was capable of.

i know. PDZ looks amazing because of the textures IMO.

I was just saying since it's impossible for Wii to do those textures, it wouldn't look good because that's really all it had going for it.

After Metroid Prime 3 is Metroid 2: Return of Samus, Super Metroid, and then Metroid Fusion.

Metroid Timeline

  1. Metroid/Zero Mission
  2. Metroid Prime
  3. Metroid Prime Hunters
  4. Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
  5. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
  6. Metroid 2: Return of Samus
  7. Super Metroid
  8. Metroid Fusion

Also when he Said Metroid Prime was done He was meaning that Retro Studios Officially said they were taking a break from Metroid for a while.

But did Return of Samus, Super Metroid, or Fusion have Dark Samus? And what about the SA-X? A few mysteries that Nintendo could conveniently use to make another Metroid.

I can believe that they'll look much better than any previous games, but 360/PS3 visuals? That sounds like a bit of an overstatement.

Sounds good that some devs are trying to push the wii hardware to the max, other devs should learn too,it won't be ps3 or xbox360 graphics but better than other ps2 engines running on the wii..

Honestly, I'm looking forward to Factor 5's contribution. Aren't they working on a joint project with Nintendo?
