Factor 5: Wii engine "does everything that the PS3 did and then some"

[WiitnessID]

Again, I'll believe it when I see it. I don't think they can match the graphic power of the PS3. More power to them though. I hope they can cuz the Wii needs better games.

Thats cool just keep a look out for them now I'll post some thing as soon as I find out.

I'll keep a look out.

Its hard for me to believe that they can create something close to the PS3 after playing Uncharted or Heavenly Sword which have AMAZING visuals. But I know the Wii hasn't been pushed too hard yet so we'll see how close it can get.

What he really is saying is what the case has been all along.
Most developers haven't pushed the Wii to its limits graphically (other than Nintendo), and they are aiming to do so. Obviously the overall tech is not the same as Ps3, it can't do the same things it can clearly but the visuals can still look great and almost similar.

Like I said before if they can get lots of 1024-512 normal map textures running on the Wii then yes they can pretty much do this but with a lower resolution lots more stuff is possible. Yet we will see... Mip maps are your friend! optimization !

This should be fun...

Always gotta look forward to whatever Factor 5 is cooking up. I dont for a second believe they can get anything up to par with the PS3, but just the fact they will actually push the Wii makes me excited

Nintendo really needs some 3rd partys to step it up

While it is a given that Factor 5 will indeed push the Wii´s graphics, possibly even beyond ´Metroid Prime 3´ and ´Super Mario Galaxy´, I can only assume that Eggebrecht was misquoted.

Comparing any graphics engine running on Wii hardware to their own ´Lair´ engine on PS3 seems nonsensical. Eggebrecht once praised the ´Lair´ engine´s advantages over ´Unreal 3´ technology. While the latter engine is being ported to Wii, it is certain to deliver less visual quality than on the PS3, due to the Wii´s relative hardware limitations.

The quote was bound to reference something other than pure graphical prowess.

We want to push the hardware. (...) I mean, on the graphical side, we're going to try and do everything to outdo everything else on the platform, the same as we did for the Star Wars games back on the GameCube. (...)

We're pretty much at a state where we're almost done with the engine. At the same time, we've also been working on content quite a bit because we had enough running very quickly on the platform that we were able to. But the biggest milestone or mark right now is that we're almost done with the engine and it does everything that the PS3 did and then some, quite frankly. So we're pretty happy with that.

I'm still looking forward to it, but don't expect your wii to suddenly grow new hardware.
