New Wii Engine Two Be Released!

[Ocarina]

There is going to be a new Wii Game Engine that is set to make the Wii preform as good as the PS3!
I don't know if it's true or not but here is a link with the info:

It'll be nice for developers to start pushing the limits of what the system of capable of doing. We see this with every generation of consoles. Think about the first round of games that came out on the PS2, and then look at some of the games that were being released late in its life (God of War 2 comes to mind). So if we get developers pushing the Wii this early in its life, it'll be a nice contrast to the facile "deliberate graphical simplicity" we know and love right now.

Yes it would be nice. I have to agree with you on that.;)

Still, I don't see their dream of making a PS3 looking game for the Wii as a reachable goal since they Wii cannot handle that much polygons and lightning effects as you could see on the tech demo on YouTube. But it seems like it will reach...maybe Half-Life 2 in graphics or something like that?

Though I'm happy that this engine exists and I hope that developers will start using it instead of PS2 graphics.

The Wii is a bit more powerful than a original Xbox already.
The original Xbox had Half-Life 2 on it remember, so Wii should be able to play games like Oblivion I'm guessing.

Keep in mind Oblivion is old now but it's graphics are still good.:)

[pdRydia]

I'm not holding my breath, but I will admit this: should the Wii wind up having supercool awesome grafix!!1one1 in the end, comparable to that of the 360 or PS3, I will laugh my ass off.

[The shoemaker]

If this is true, wii most likely wont have exact graphics as PS3. Maybe similar, but not exact. But It will be nice to play a good graphical game on wii. and if this is true, more developers will aim for wii, and then all of those 360 fans won't have anything to laugh at. And then Next gen studios will rethink never developing for wii.

[dk_xcalibur]

I doubt this is true but I'll hope and dream with everyone else that it is.

[Ragnor]

Just throw in 1080i/p support and I'm happy tbh.

[Ocarina]

If this engine does get released, Nintendo should create a new Zelda game for Wii with awsome Oblivion/Two Worlds graphics.:link-slash:

It looks okay. Digging the bump mapping and water reflections. I want to see more on dynamic shadows though.

What about HDR Lighting?:confused:

[Sektor]

I laugh at this. The wii will never match PS3 or 360. I will believe it when Nintendo officially confirms it, but until then no.

Don't you know how Game Engines work?

It is possible for the Wii to have better graphics.

The engine being put to use here (http://uk.wii.ign.com/articles/874/874796p1.html) in "The Conduit" (I'm sure at least some of you guys have heard about IGN pimping this game).

Looks fun so far, and some really nice animation, textures and effects considering the quality of the video.

Looks alright but graphics still arn't great, might be because it's a streaming recorded video.

[Spore]

I dislike how there really isn't too much difference between light and dark areas in the game. A completley shadowed nook still looks like a light is being cast onto it while all the light sources only seem to have an effect on the five feet surrounding them. The weapons looked pretty neat though...

Wow, that actually looks pretty good.

[Joxe]

Yeah, saw the video aswell and the graphics looks really good to be a Wii game, but still, when it comes to texture quality and amount of polygons it shouldn't be near the PS3 or the 360 since the lack of RAM and lower defenition graphics card in the Wii.

I don't really think you should compare with PS3 and 360, instead compare to what we currently have on the Wii, if more starts using this engine we will defenitly see better looking games.

To quote the stoners: puff puff PASS.

[Spinoff90]

Still doesn't look as good as some of the best looking Xbox games let alone being anywhere near PS3 or 360. But still looks pretty nice by Wii standards.

[dk_xcalibur]

I checked out a video for The Conduit over the weekend....I think the game looks good and the guns look interesting. Hopefully it gets produced and we see this game in the future.

I thort the Engine would be better and yes I am stoned, thank you.
The strange thing is I don't smoke pot but I'm stoned.

Im all for HVS doing the goodstuff. But that post sounded like you discredit Nintendo's skillz.

Super mario galaxy comes close

[Spore]

Super mario galaxy comes close

Maybe to mid-range 360 or PS3 games... Then again the game was stylized enough to look pretty without all the technological stress.

Your right, I don't think Nintendo have any graphics skills. At all!

The more you know!

Oh I get it now, I don't play Final Fantasy that much. I've only played Final Fantasy V, I was planing on playing more when thay all re-release for Virtual Console.
