Gamebryo Engine

This news sounds very good to me and I think that those who are crying out for better graphics on Wii games will like it too.

A company called Emergent Game Technologies has made an announcement that their popular graphic engine has been made compatible with the Wii. The engine has been used on over 200 games including The Elderscrolls IV: Oblivion. It has already been used for the PC, Xbox 360, and PS3.

I haven’t played Oblivion but I know that it is one of the games that has the best graphics so hopefully, the upcoming Wii games will take advantage of how this engine processes the graphics beautifully.

The CEO of Emergent said, “We are delighted to announce the Wii port of our Gamebryo engine. With the success of Nintendo’s Wii console catching much of the industry off guard and offering fresh interactive features, developers need new tools to be able to develop for multiple platforms that offer vastly different capabilities and require different programming techniques.”

“We are committed to making multiplatform development as painless as possible while still delivering industry leading performance. Gamebryo for Wii simply sets a new standard for middleware designed for this top selling platform. We are very proud to be part of Nintendo’s Third Party Tools program,” he added.

I do not think that the graphics of Wii games that will use this engine will look like Xbox 360 or PS3 games but they should look much better than the games that have been released so far.
