AMN: There have been some critics online who say; maybe 'uneducatedly' that Prime Corruption doesn't really improve on anything graphically from Prime Echoes or Prime 1, and some even go so far as to say it looks even worse than Prime 2. What is it on the Wii that you have been able to accomplish graphically that you were unable to on the GameCube?
Bryan: Wii is a more powerful platform than the GameCube and we have taken advantage of that. Bloom lighting for instance, higher poly-detail and higher texture-detail, but that's not the core of the Prime experience, we have also added some other improvements like animation systems and so forth, artificial intelligence has also been improved. A lot of both visible and under-the-table improvements have gone into Prime 3 to take advantage of the extra horsepower.
AMN: Is it running on the same engine as the first two Prime games?
Bryan: Um, 'same engine' is a bit of a misnomer. They are all descended from each other. For instance the Prime 2 engine had its lineage with the Prime 1 engine, but the Prime 2 content was so much more demanding it could not run Prime 1 technology; it's the same as we move forward with Prime 3.
AMN: Technically speaking, do you guys feel the Wii is powerful enough?
Mark: Yeah, I mean, our goals in the Prime series have always been very much in line with the hardware in each system, so we really knew what abilities were going to be offered by the new hardware and we really have nothing but positive things to say about it. But, also we're been able...to allow us to do new types of gameplay, because as you noticed in the demo, a lot of the environments go from very tight and narrow to really huge and wide-open and I think that we really wouldn't have been able to do that on the GameCube hardware. So not only does the technology from the standpoint of the controller allow us to do unique gameplay, but as well as the added horsepower does allow us to set up different gameplay scenarios that we were never able to do before which is great.
اتمنى برايم3 تكون لعبتهم الاخرة مع السلسة و يبتكرون شئ جديد.....🙂
