Wii game engine promises PS3 visuals

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

From what i've read from other people! Theyre producing a game. I dont know if its a joint development though.

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

Also that Rumour about them making a Joint Project with Nintendo is a Rumoured Kid Icarus that has Factor 5 working on Graphics and Nintendo Handling the Gameplay But Factor 5 never answered any of those Rumours so they are still Rumours.

We first heard about Factor 5's Wii project about a month ago, and with DICE 08 comes some new details about the title. IGN spoke with Factor 5 president Julian Eggebrecht about the game, and learned a bit about the impressive engine being built, which Eggebrecht claims rivals their work on the PS3.

According to Eggebrecht, the engine for the Wii title is nearly complete and, according to him, "does everything the PS3 did, and then some, quite frankly." The title is described as being technically impressive, pushing the Wii hardware further than most will expect it to go.

Though further details are scant, Eggebrecht does emphasize Factor 5's focus on the controls, specifically the Wii remote's ability to act as a pointing device. We'll have to wait and see how the Wii title will manage to outdo Factor 5's PS3 development (insert snide remark about Lair's abysmal critical reception).

What gets me curious is when he says "does everything the PS3 did, and then some, quite frankly." I wonder what he means by more than the PS3 can do? Hmmm the mind wonders.

if they can manage to pull it off then i guess....

TFHBO!

(the fanboys have been owned)

hopefuly if they can manage it then we'll see more multiplats making there way to wii

These games might stand head and shoulders over the other Wii games, but there is no way in this world it can match 360 and PS3 games. Well, I mean, maybe launch games or crappy ports... but not a seasoned PS3/360 game. No way.

I'm just asking to be sigged here by some Nintendo fanboy, arent I?

Cant wait kids...

Also to the guy below the one I quoted Wii can actually play DVDs it just doesn't have DVD Playback since Wii discs are the same size as 360 games.

lets face it, the wii's hardwear is pathetic, can't even play DvDs. so how the hell could it have 360 level visuals? i must admit that wiis and hdtv's dont mix, after playing at 720p the low res REALY shows, trhis has gota be a bogus statment. thegoldenpoo

WTF has playing DVD Movies go to do with games ? All a DVD player is on a Console is a gimmick, A novelty item! i play Games on my Console and not DVD movies!

PS: Look at what a Wii game is and you will be suprised to knows its a Digital Versatile Disc! You know those little, round, Plastic items which are flat which you said the Wii cannot read!

is that red steel 2?, cause that HONESTLY looks like a 360 game running in 480P

Lol. :P THIS is what it ended up looking like.

And they could take this same, magical engine, apply it to the 360 and ps3, or good lord, a pc, and torch the Wii once again.

What a load of crap.

lol, yeah right the wiii can render THAT, looks fake. i know the wii specs and that is just impossible.

[QUOTE="MacaroniMoses"]Um...yeah. All in stunning 480p.Video_Game_King

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?

Metroid PRime 3 was the last in the series but maybe this could be applied to another wii game

Can't wait till they release some screenshots on what this baby can do

Imagine what a Wii version would look like.

I can see something like this giving people high expectations, essentially over exaggerating what the Wii can do. While games like Mario Galaxy look great with it's artistic side, I haven't seen anything surpass it. Which brings me to..

If you don't have expectations, you can't be disappointed. I say wait and see. I'm sure there are some developers out there wanting to push the envelope on the Wii. I think there's more to developing for the controls that have caused graphics to take a back seat. Just my 2 cents.

I don't remember High Voltage saying PS3/360 visuals.dotWithShoes

They didn't yet stupid gaming websites decide to make up their own facts these days. The text that says about PS3 visuals is by the website, what the actually said is the engine is capable of doing things the PS3 and 360 does, which is exactly what Factor 5 said. Sure not as well, but pulling off similar lighting effects is awesome in itself.

The Wii can look like the 360/PS3

And seriously, what framerate problems are you talking about, other than HL2 and Riddick (which was fine for me), all the other games that pushed the systems were fine. And please, even if RE4 beats all XBOX games in graphics, its ONE game. The XBOX has a huge list of graphically amazing games, heck IMHO, Conker was easily the best looking game of last gen, the game puts almost all 360 games to shame, dare i say it, it looks better than Kameo (though Kameo is HUGE)

[QUOTE="carljohnson3456"]

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

JB730

is this some sort of hilarious joke?

Bah, more than likely hyperbole setup by either a fan, or PR from the developers. Either way it's obviously BS.

BTW, AWESOME sig w/ Anderson Silva vs Franklin. Best 185'er in the world right now, if you ask me!!!

I always knew that the Wii'd put and end to the graphical debate pwning both Uncharted and Gears...

:lol:
