Square-Enix Rechristens White Engine, Plans To Bring It To Wii

Taku Murata, general manager of Square-Enix's research and development division, announced at today's GDC session that the company has dropped the White Engine name for its cross-platform game engine. Squenix is now pitching it as Crystal Tools, showing off a fancy new logo that extends the Final Fantasy brand even further.

While the internal, companywide development platform was originally understood to be built for PlayStation 3 development (specifically, Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy versus XIII), it has being designed with multiple platforms, including the Xbox 360 and PC, in mind. Murata also confirmed that a version is being readied for the Wii, which is still very early, but we don't expect it to kick out visuals on par with the PS3.

 

Zenfoldor: For what game though? FF v XIII? Kingdom Hearts? XIII multiplat? Strange and interesting for Wii /360/PC owners.

 



I don't need your console war.

You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.

no really but before anyone posts "wOOt" I want you all to remember that all game engines can be scaled to run on any system, its just a matter of how much the engine is scaled up or down.

The UE3 could run on the Wii, Epic just would have to cut half the features off of it.
