Quantum3 engine claims to be the most powerful in the industry.

High Voltage Software is hoping to change the face of Wii video games, with its new Quantum3 engine, which is claimed to enable Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 visuals on the tiny Wii console.

Quantum3 is the result of 15 years development experience and enables developers to make use of advanced graphical features, including better dynamic bump mapping, light effects, glossing and other visual improvements. Additionally, Quantum3 uses a 16 TEV stage material pipeline that can blend up to 8 separate texture sources.

The engine also uses advanced processing techniques to make gameplay smoother, examples including seamless resource streaming, projected shadows, morphing and much more.

"The Wii platform is capable of a lot more than what consumers have seen so far. We're hoping to raise a new bar," said High Voltage Software CEO Kerry Ganofsky.

The first title from High Voltage to use the new Quantum3 engine is first-person shooter The Conduit. The developer is aiming to create a game that looks like an Xbox 360 and PS3 game. You can decide for yourself if the new engine is up to the task by checking the tech demo

It doesn't look quite as good as X-Box 360 and PS3, but I always knew that the Wii was capable of more than what we've seen so far.

Wow that looks pretty good. Never thought i'd see something like that on wii.

Good. I hope they make full use of the engine.

wow it looks great But i hope they work on a better online experience next

Not as good as a 360 or PS3, but it's better than what we've seen so far.

Very nice, the visuals on the Wii will get better as developers learn how to squeeze out better performance from the hardware. If this demo is anything to go by the wii might loose a bit of its reputation of having games that are just all 'cutesy' graphics, it'll be interesting to see what games will look like in 12 months time

Now we just need to put a "Please use Motion Sensing Controls responsibly" label on every wii that may make its way into the hands of a 3rd party distributor and Nintendo's 3rd party stuff may finally have a chance.

I would highly consider buying any game they Make...

Combine that with Johnny Lee's VR Head Tracking Demo (Search YouTube if you haven seen it yet... it fantastic)

and just imagine the posibilitys....
