I honest to god have no idea why this engine is being praised so highly. Metroid prime looks so much better than this, and not a stab at Wii hardware or anything, but if you can't really go balls out, why try o.O; I'd rather they just stick to a proven formula that works than drift out for the sake of "expansion". When I think Wii I don't think HDR lighting and insane bump mapping, I'd rather they just use alternative lighting methods that look much better than cheap HDR, and simple shades.
Nintendo games often times look AMAZING, but not because they're pushing insane poly counts or ubar texture resolutions or any of that tech stuff, but because they have genuine style :/ This game seems to be wanting to "utilize" wii hardware, yet the game it's self looks worse than almost every Ninty first party game :/ I'm not sure what else the engine is really capable of, and I support they're effort, I just think they might be pushing the wrong direction :x
