Forums - Nintendo - Source and Quantum 3 engine and its influence on the Wii

yushire on 02 May 2008

Now that Valve said about the "will be" their development of their " kiddy game" on the Wii, we can now compare the 2 engines and what impact does this make on games on the Wii. For me, this is a good sign for the console and the big break we really waiting for.



end of core gaming days prediction:

 

E3 2006-The beginning of the end. Wii introduced

 

E3 2008- Armageddon. Wii motion plus introduced. Wii Music. Reggie says Animal crossing was a core game. Massive disappointment. many Wii core gamers selling their Wii.

 

E3 2010- Tape runs out

To me, since it's such a 'kiddy' game, it likely won't be using the Source engine (or at least, won't be making great use of it), so such a comparison is likely impossible.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

It all depends on what kind of game they're developing for their 'Children' ... There have been several 'Classic' fantasy stories which were written as farytales for the author's children.

The HL2 on Xbox1 used a modified source engine. I dont see any reason why source will not be possible on the Wii.



Heeeeyyyy!!!! <Snap>

"I mean, I'm not making any announcements", he continued, "but there's a lot of desire internally to do something for kids, do something on the Wii."

What's confirmed? Did I miss something?

Sooner or later they will develop a game for the Wii anyway, that phrase says it what game they will do on the Wii. Dont ruin the fun for us.

yes and Beowulf was more impressive than Ratalouie because Ratalouie was "Kiddy"... whoever came up the idea of using that annoying sounding term to described games that aren't violent should be castrated 

Just because something isn't violent doesn't mean it can't be sophisticated and technically proficient,

what is a more impressive animated feature in terms of skill and proficiency? Snow White and the Seven Dwarves or Heavy Metal?

one freatures magnicently drawn and incredibly well animated and the other is choppily animated and poorly designed,

and one is violent and "mature", the other is intended for all audiences

Boom Blox is shaping up to have an incredible physics engine and it is intended for all audiences, why can't valves game as well? furthermore I wouldn't be suprised if valve has wanted to do any all audiences game for the longest time but  due to market trends and such they haven't been able to

Oh, by all means, speculate away. I love speculation. Just please don't say that things are confirmed when they're up in the air. I like to know the difference between speculation and fact.
