looks and sounds interesting. it's good to see the Wii games heading this way.

Tomdc5744d ago

breath taking by wii standards maybe but lets be realistic... its not going to match up to the graphical quality of even poor ps3 and 360 games.

ChickeyCantor5744d ago

@TomDC
Being realistic, Wii runs on 480P so it does not need the calculation power for higher resolution. 480P content could still look great, Wii games could look like early 360 games on a SD Tv.
It just depends on how well the system is going to be used.

" Our engine technology really takes the Wii hardware to its limits"
That's developer number 4? saying that?
It's not working guys just develope a decent game and get on with it.

vashivihang5744d ago

ha ha. if you are referring to HVS, i dont think that they have said that "we will push wii to its limits" i really think that the factor 5 game will be better graphically than anything. but yes you are right. just give us decent games and we will speak with our wallets

ChickeyCantor5744d ago

The thing is more developers keep saying this...
Now im excited about how this game will turn out to be.
But really " pushing limits "? O RLLY?

after this game other developers will claim the same >_<

vashivihang5744d ago

ha ha ha thats true. but thats just the part of PR and creating hype. oh well. this game interersts me nonetheless

kinggeoff5744d ago

they are the only ones so far detailing so many aspects of their engine. and since it is a proprietary engine no one has seen before, i am intrigued.

"HDR-Rendering, shader simulations developed especially for Wii in order to display ice, heat and water (realistic reflections and refractions), an ultra-fast particle system for amazing snow storms, soft particles for realistic fog and smoke, depth of field, motion blur, dynamic soft shadows, spherical harmonics lighting, as well as a high performance level-of-detail and streaming system in order to provide long viewing distance of the entire surrounding."

dof??? motion blur? hell freakin yes!!!

deeznuts5744d ago

Was RE:4 Wii Edition supposed to look good? I just popped it in and it looked like trash. SMG was meh as well.

vashivihang5744d ago

no thats probably your inner fanboy talking

ChickeyCantor5744d ago (Edited 5744d ago )

Deeznut,
I really dont see your connection with our comments.
So ill just go with Vashivihang, Put a demper on your inner fanboy.

@Kingoff
Actually High voltage showed loads of things their engine could do...but saying they are pushing limits is a bold statement.
Even today Ps2's envelope is being pushed and pushed.

deeznuts5744d ago

My inner fanboy likes good looking games. I own all three consoles.

vashivihang5743d ago

then, good sir, wii isnt the right console for you. :)

kinggeoff5743d ago

seriously

deeznuts what the heck are you doing with a wii that you seem to hate?

smg and re4 both look amazing.

If you hold your breath, waiting for next-gen graphics on the Wii...you'll run out of oxygen and die. :O

Adriana Lima5743d ago

i thought it said cursed mountain dew

THWIP5743d ago

I tried one of those Mountain Dew Pitch Black things...sh1t was so nasty, I thought I was gonna hurl, and could barely catch my breath. I think it was CURSED! O_O

SilverWeb5743d ago

i think this is great and all but im sure the physics systems should be worked on too because i think that euphoria is possible to a certain extent on wii. They tweaked the call of duty 4 engine for wii but that took a while who knows maybe they will make a special version of the euphoria physics engine for wii one day

6 Horror Games To Play As The World Freezes Over

BD writes: Did you hear? There’s a polar vortex sweeping across the country, The Day After Tomorrow style, and unless you’re brave enough to risk instantly freezing as soon as you step outside — like those poor helicopter pilots, they will be missed — the only escape is through video games. Or Dennis Quaid. Since we’re in for a deep freeze, with most of the country already enduring ridiculously low temperatures, I thought I’d come up with a list of horror games we can all enjoy.

"the only escape is through video games. Or Dennis Quaid" lol

I haven't played Dead Space 3, I thought about renting it, but I didn't like DS2 very much, absolutely LOVED DS1, i've heard many times DS3 is even worser sequel

pompombrum3749d ago

Starting a horror games list by mentioning Dead Space 3.. it's enough to make horror fans weep.

The scariest night of the year is now only two days away, a horrifying evening when strange children knock at the door and refuse to leave without a toll of sweets and candy. It's also the time of year when we willingly scare ourselves witless by playing frightening video games.

To finish off a week-long series of fond Wii remembrances, Nintendo Life wants to highlight some titles from the system's back-catalogue that are perfect for this time of year. It suggests turning out the lights, basking in the tiny blue glow of the Wii power switch and trying these titles this Halloween.
