lian Eggebrech of Factor 5 had some interesting things to say in regards to the Wii:
“(speaking about publishers on Wii)…the hardware is very, very easy to understand. Now the problem might be –and it just might be- is that some studios -or some publishers specifically- are discarding the graphical capabilities (of the Wii) automatically simply because it is a Wii title and they’re basically telling the developers “look, we won’t pay for any advanced graphics”…If you connect you can get a lot of shader effects which would’ve been on the 360 or the PS3…it’s got so much more power compared to the GameCube. If even with the extremely similar shader hardware, the system clockrate is so much higher, you can do so much more advanced things.”
“If we would do a Wii version of that (Star Wars Rogue series), certainly that could be something which somebody could license. But I can imagine that there will be several engines coming out, also for the Wii…I really hate the current trend of the hardcore people very much getting into this bubble of being very defensive and not wanting the whole casual thing to happen. In the end it’s all one big market we’re, essentially we’re all casual…(Super Mario Galaxy) this thing is actually taking advantage (of the Wii hardware)…it’s basically doing new graphical things with the hardware.”
