Quantum3 engine claims to be the most powerful in the industry.

High Voltage Software is hoping to change the face of Wii video games, with its new Quantum3 engine, which is claimed to enable Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 visuals on the tiny Wii console.

Quantum3 is the result of 15 years development experience and enables developers to make use of advanced graphical features, including better dynamic bump mapping, light effects, glossing and other visual improvements. Additionally, Quantum3 uses a 16 TEV stage material pipeline that can blend up to 8 separate texture sources.

The engine also uses advanced processing techniques to make gameplay smoother, examples including seamless resource streaming, projected shadows, morphing and much more.

"The Wii platform is capable of a lot more than what consumers have seen so far. We're hoping to raise a new bar," said High Voltage Software CEO Kerry Ganofsky.

The first title from High Voltage to use the new Quantum3 engine is first-person shooter The Conduit. The developer is aiming to create a game that looks like an Xbox 360 and PS3 game. You can decide for yourself if the new engine is up to the task by checking the tech demo here.

O___o

will it give the PS3 a run for it's money?

I believe this is already posted a few days ago, I personally can't wait for the next 50 Cent game, it will be EPIC.. EPIC!!

"Aiming" is the key word here.

A lot of times people aim for the toilet but they still miss.

And this has already been made. Why people refuse to check for a pre-existing thread is beyond me. Ah well, thread locked. I would link to the other thread, but I'm tired. 

Up to a 360 or PS3 game graphics? Well, I couldunderstand Wii being able to produce first-gen 360 games by the end of its' life (possibly Call of Duty 2 or something like Dead Rising). Even though I don't believe I've played any of HV's games previously, Conduit looks very cool and I have very deep resepect for them.
