Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Unreal Engine 3 for Wii? It's in Development ...

Epic Games' Mark Rein tells us that a version of the engine IS in development for Wii after all.

With development costs soaring, game creators are turning more and more to middleware engines, software that takes care of much of the underlying gameplay mechanics and allows them to focus on game design. One of the most popular in recent years is Unreal Engine 3, a tool that's been showcased in developer Epic's own games, such as Gears Of War.

[...]

Earlier in the year, Epic's Mark Rein told Kikizo that there were rumblings of a studio - not Epic - bringing Unreal Engine 3 to the Wii. Speaking with us again in this new interview published today, Rein confirmed that an unnamed development team has taken up the challenge.

"I know one of our licensee who's giving it a shot," Rein said. "It's their own port, in the same way Ubisoft brought Unreal Engine 2 to the Wii."

Ubisoft had used Epic's previous tool, Unreal Engine 2, in its Wii launch game Red Steel.

Interesting. My guess is ... it'll be highly modified and scaled down, but it would be nice to see a working Unreal Engine 3 Middleware solution for the Wii.

Yep i read about this. I thought o fmaking a topic for it here but instead I did it on my other forum ahha.



Good news for the Wii. I doubt Wii owners are hoping this looks like Gears of War, folks. I think they just want more games that look like Metroid Prime or Mario Galaxy.

I bet ya its going to be used in Red Steel 2. Sounds like where it would go considering the Unreal Engine 2 used in Red Steel 1.



Yea!! Good now we get wii games that compare to XBOX.
