They already messed, up because an engine that can be used for the Wii and a PS3 is automatically crippled from the word go for the PS3. Unless the versions are VASTLY different, in which why even have the same name for a Wii engine and a PS3 engine if there so damn different.

This is the same false logic certain gamers use when trying to claim the 360 would bring down the quality of games on the PS3. :|



They have effectively PORTED the engine to other platforms (including a scaled down version for the Wii), and so it's now a multi-platform game engine, but that doesn't effect the PS3 at all, much less cripple it!

For every game engine, there's a set of tools created specifically for that engine which allows the devs to create the games (level editor, debugger, audio manager etc), some of which are distrubuted freely to PC gamers to allow them to create mods for the game. For commercial games, devs use these game engine tools together with numerous general purpose developement tools.

linear thinking will get you nowhere but the cutters lounge.

doing a port doesnt mean that the game will be crippled to the least common denominator.

the best quality will be scaled down just as YAZ said.

if your case is right we could have been getting Gameboy game graphics on our SNES!

it's not like they'll make the same game for ps3 and wii, they'll just use the same soft...



And for the x360, I suppose they learned that a translated unreal engine cost WAY too much for good results while they have their own, so it's cheaper to simply make it multiplatform, this way games like the last remnant would cost less in the near future.



But I don't think we're gonna see more FFs on x360...
