Factor 5 president Julian Eggebrecht talks about mystery Wii game - Image 1

Factor 5 pushed the GameCube to its limits when it released Star Wars Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader. The game was awesome and was one of the highest rated titles on the platform. Will Factor 5 be able to pull off the same thing on the Wii?

Factor 5 president Julian Eggebrecht announced last month that the studio will be releasing a new title on the Nintendo platform, but refused to reveal any further information. It's a different story at DICE 2008 though, where he reveals more information on the Wii.

During an interview at DICE 2008, he revealed that the studio is almost done with the game's engine and that they've already started working on content. The game will indeed be pushing the Wii's hardware to its limits:

On the graphical side, we're going to try and do everything to outdo everything else on the platform. Whatever we're working on will at least blow you away in a lot of the technical aspects. We're really trying to do everything to squeeze the maximum out of the machine.

And what's a Wii title without making use of its popular tech? However, it seems that this mystery game will be focusing more on the pointing rather than the motion-sensing:

But one of our main focuses is the innovation around the controls. Everybody is always talking about the motion control, but I think people are overplaying that a bit.

I really, really love the pointing aspect of the remote. Although we're going to use everything for what we have in development, I think the pointing stuff is probably the biggest innovation which we're working on right now.
