Unreal Engine 3 on the Wii? Maybe!

well i hear the Wii has the same graphics card as the PS3. Is that true?

That picture would actually be if the UE3 was put on the blur-tastic N64.

I vote Quazal

I wouldn't be surprised if it's Ubisoft trying to work it out for Red Steel 2.

Well they're using the Unreal 3 engine to make the next Mortal Kombat game. From what I recall, they plan on releasing it for all next-gen consoles, including the Wii. I could be wrong, but that would be my guess for the first Unreal 3 Wii game (if it's done anyways).

i for one cant wait for roboblitz or hour of victory wii.
maybe dennis dyack....mumble, mumble, lawsuit mumble, lawsuit, mumble funny internet thing, ironic comment.
generic shared interner hyroglypy ftw!

Brawl.

Didn't Matt Casamassina already say this on the Wii-k in Review yesterday? It's Brothers in Arms for the Wii.

does this mean the ps2 will get the unreal 3 engine as well? seeing how the ps2 / wii games are the same thing?

i played the pc demo and wasn't impressed with the graphics at all.they should call it Unreal Tournament 2.1,it looks more like an extention for UT2

A game engine isnt the graphics resolution... The internal structure and logic of the U3 engine should run on anything if ported correctly. The mesh and texture assets used to render on the xbox will kill a Wii but then again the Wii only needs to render half the pixels. Match the texture and mesh detail to the 480i and it'll run.

@ Poonster: Who the fuck are you kidding? Not to put you down, as mine sucks, but what kind of PC set-up are you using? The game is absolutely gorgeous. It looks like Gears of War but improved. Great looking game. Get some glasses.

Does anyone here saying U3 on wii is stupid actually know jack shit about computer architecture or engine design? Could they explain how having a superior engine, with a much more advanced variety of options, would not be beneficial regardless of the system? Just because the wii doesn't have components as powerful as the 360, it doesn't mean it's not capable of decent visuals. Unless you can explain why this is pointless, I don't see your point in posting.

Sorry for crankiness, clusterfuck shitstorm at work this afternoon.

I hope it isn't being used for something simple like a JRPG, a minigame compilation or Barbie's Horse Adventures.

well my pc doesnt suck thats for sure i'll admit my graphics card aint top of the line but i still think it looked average.i have an AMD Athlon 64 3800+ 2.4GHz Processor overclocked to 3.8GHz, 2 gigs of ram, 160 gig hard drive and a Nvidia Geforce 6600 gt vid card so the card does meet the specks, the demo ran smooth,i've played other games that look way better than UT3. fact is also the demos settings are locked to medium. i just think from all the hype it should look better.
i'll be playing the 360 version anyway..

I think memory would be more of a concern than CPU/GPU power. The Wii has way, way too little memory, and it's fragmented all over the place (a Nintendo tradition). General-purpose engines hate architectures like the Gamecube/Wii. It would work, but you'd have to strip out so much of the engine to get the footprint down, that you couldn't really call it the Unreal 3 Engine anymore.

With that said, the scripting facilities of the engine would be far more useful than the graphics renderer.

BTW, the mosaic filter would've been better for the story photo, rather than blur. Without proper anti-aliasing, the water effects in Twilight Princess made me want to hurl. Personally, I think SD with full anti-aliasing looks a lot better than HD without AA.

Is the Wii's graphic Card really that bad ? Super Mario Galaxy looked quite astonishing to me. Yes, it doesn't get the cake because either the PS3 or the 360 have stringer ones, but I think it does quite well. Also, it's not like I'm not content. I think Graphics go behind gameplay. But not that far.

Also, in before Rabid Wii-Fanboys.

Also, @Burnt Meatloaf: I use an SD Card. I have an emergency copy of all my Wii Savegames on my computer right now, and I use a nice 512 MB Card whi doubles the Wiis memory. That Card has about 1000 Blocks. The average game occupies maybe 100, the average save 1 Block. Works fine for me.
